Abstract: A container for holding product therein during shipment and being returned for reuse has a movable door assembly, front frame, tracks supported by opposite sides of the container, and a plurality of dunnage supports extending between the tracks. The dunnage supports may comprise multiple pieces including end members and a tubular support, the end members being movable in the tracks. The dunnage supports support dunnage, such as pouches, for supporting products during storage or shipment.

Abstract: A container for holding product therein during shipment and being returned for reuse has a metal frame, tracks having horizontal and vertical portions attached to opposite sides of the frame, and a plurality of support member assemblies extending between the tracks. Each support member assembly includes end members located at the ends of a tubular support, the end members being movable in the tracks. The support member assemblies support dunnage for supporting products for storage or shipment.

Abstract: A container for holding product therein during shipment and being returned for reuse has a body, horizontal and vertical tracks attached to opposite sides of the body, and a plurality of support member assemblies extending between the tracks. Each support member assembly includes sliders or end members located at the ends of tubular supports, the sliders being movable in the tracks. The support member assemblies support dunnage for supporting products for storage or shipment.

Abstract: A packing mechanism includes a plurality of first connecting members connecting end to end to form a polygon; and a plurality of sidewalls mounted on the first connecting members. Each first connecting member includes a main body, and a fixing portion mounted on an end of the main body. The main body defines at least two latching portions and at least one connecting portion. Each sidewall includes a base body and at least one positioning portion formed at an end of the base body, and the positioning portion latches with the connecting portion of the corresponding first connecting member. The fixing portion engages with one of the latching portions of an adjacent first connecting member; such that a volume of the packing mechanism is adjustable by engaging the fixing portion with another one of the latching portions of the adjacent first connecting members.

Abstract: A container for holding fluids in isolation includes an outer container and two deformable inner containers carried within the internal space of the outer container. The outer container is provided with a view port enabling the user to visually examine the inner containers. The inner containers have respective ports communicating with their interiors. As fluid is withdrawn from the first inner container its volume is reduced so that the second container may receive a like amount of fluid. The second inner container may hold colorants or absorbents. The container may be used with various chemical applications, such as high performance liquid chromatography or fluid injection analysis, wherein supply fluid is withdrawn from the first inner container, used, and returned as waste fluid to the second inner container so that the overall volume of fluids remains relatively constant.

Abstract: The removable fireplace cleanout facilitates the chore of cleaning ash and/or other residue from a fireplace. The cleanout device is a relatively wide, low pan or tray configured for placement within a fireplace hearth. Wheels and/or other rolling supports extend beneath the device to facilitate its installation in and removal from the fireplace hearth. One wall of the device includes a dump door, with the weighted door being held closed by gravity until the unit is tilted to dump ash and residue therein. Fillets may be provided to preclude trapping of ash in the corners of the device. An integral grate may be permanently installed atop the floor of the device, thereby precluding need for grate removal and soiling of the area where the grate is placed during conventional fireplace cleanout.

Abstract: The present invention provides a container for holding product therein during shipment and being returned for reuse that has a body, tracks attached to opposite sides of the body, and a plurality of support members supported by the tracks. Rollers are located at the ends of the support members which roll in the tracks to move the support members. The support members have product receptacles whereby products may be suspended between adjacent support members, portions of the products residing in the product receptacles.

Abstract: A container is disclosed including a plurality of seal blocks adapted to militate against the entry of a fluid into coolant channel headers formed in bipolar plates during a dip coating process, wherein the seal blocks are interconnected and include a fastening portion and a sealing portion, the sealing portion capable of being interchanged.

Abstract: A pouch assembly is provided for use in a shipping container. The pouch assembly comprises dunnage in the form of a plurality of pouches for storing and transporting parts. The pouch assembly includes two end panels located inside the container and flexible support rods extending between the end panels for supporting individual pouches. The pouch assembly provides vertical access to product residing inside the pouches or cells inside the container.

Abstract: A waterproof enclosure primarily for radio frequency transmitters used in an automatic meter reading (fixed or mobile) system is described. In one example embodiment, the enclosure includes a base unit, cover that is press-fit into the base unit and a collar that has interlocking ends that compressively secure the base and cover together. The enclosure assembly further includes a seal member or O-ring that is interposed between bearing surfaces of the lid and base to promote a waterproof seal.

Abstract: A file spacing and location indicating device for spacing apart files, particularly hanging files, in a drawer and indicating their location in the drawer so that files removed from the drawer may be quickly and easily returned to their proper place in the drawer. The device includes a mounting rod having a pair of opposite end portions and an elongate portion extending between the end portions of the mounting rod. The end portions of the mounting rod are designed for mounting to a hanging rail of a hanging file system. A plurality of separators are provided each having an attachment portion and an indicator portion outwardly extending from the attachment portion. The attachment portion is generally C-shaped and has a pair of arcuate arms defining an attachment space therebetween through which the elongate portion of the mounting rod is extended.

Abstract: An apparatus for keeping a stack of catalogue cards in neat order to be used, for example, in a library. If necessary, a librarian can replace a damaged catalogue card with a new one by just pressing a button at the bottom of the drawer to enable a compression spring to eject the metal rod passing through a stack of catalogue cards. Consequently, the librarian can freely rearrange the catalogue cards.
