Abstract: Torque wrench testing apparatus and method that includes holding a torque wrench, applying a predetermined torque load to one end of the wrench while limiting movement of the other end of the wrench, and measuring the actual torque applied, for comparison with the reading on the wrench gauge. The essential feature of the invention resides in the idea of limiting the movement of the other wrench end by a pylon that is pivotally mounted so that when it engages a pivotally mounted wrench handle, the handle will stay coaxial to the one end of the wrench to avoid a handle end from contacting the wrench beam, which would cause a change in the working length of the wrench beam and result in an incorrect calculation of torque.

The device includes a pair of cylindrical bodies adapted to be inserted in adjacent finger holes of a bowling ball and which are detachably interconnected by a pair of separate straps that are detachably connectable to each other and which can be drawin tightly to keep the bodies in the holes and thereby form a handle.

Abstract: A lawn edging device, for defining borders of lawns and gardens, that is adapted to hold plant seeds, so that when the plants mature their roots will extend through the device and help anchor the device in position in the ground. The device is an elongated article formed of a resilient, extruded, molded plastic material, and it includes a pair of thin vertical wall members that are joined at their lower ends to form a trough-like opening for holding seeds. At least one of the walls have openings at its lower end that allow roots of the plants to pass out of the device as the seeds germinate.

Abstract: A collapsible, self-erecting, tray-type, one-piece carton having liquid-tight lower corners. The end walls of the carton each have a length greater than the width of the bottom wall and each have a pair of side edges that project a slight distance beyond the side walls, so that no opening exists at any lower corner of the carton where related side walls and end walls are joined to each other and to the bottom wall panel.

Abstract: A device for testing the strength of a glue bond of a paperboard container corner section, which section includes one wall panel adhesively secured in face-to-face relationship to a glue flap which is foldably joined to and extends at right angles from another wall panel, by determining the force required to separate the one wall panel from the glue flap.The device has a pair of platforms mounted for pivotal movement about a common axis, each carrying clamping elements for gripping one portion of a container corner section, and a load cell associated with one platform and operable to measure the force required to separate the one wall panel from the glue flap, based on the relative movement of the platforms.

Abstract: A reusable, collapsible, bulk container having pairs of opposed side walls, each of which has foldably joined to the lower end thereof a narrow bottom wall retaining flange. The retaining flange of one side wall is permanently adhesively secured to a margin of a bottom wall panel, and the other flanges are coated with a pressure sensitive type of adhesive substance adapted to releasably adhere to, upon contact with, other marginal portions of the bottom wall panel when said carton is erected.

Abstract: A collapsible, one-piece, bucket-type, paperboard carton especially suited for fast food operations. The carton has pairs of opposed side and end walls that tend to bow outwardly when the carton is erected, so that when handle panels which are foldably joined to top wall panels, are pushed downwardly the end walls automatically move inwardly until lock tabs projecting from the handle panels are received and locked within related end wall openings.

Abstract: A modular pallet arrangement formed of a pair of upper and lower pallet sections each of which includes plurality of molded plastic lower pallet units that are adapted to be interconnected in telescoping interlocking relation to form a complete pallet. Certain of the lower units are adapted to be connected to more than one upper unit, so they can join adjacent upper units to each other.
