Abstract: A trailer having a main deck portion having a main deck surface, an upper deck portion having an upper deck surface, a connecting frame assembly, a plurality of rollers elements, and a tailgate. The connecting frame assembly can couple together the main deck portion and the upper deck portion. The roller elements can be arranged in one or more rows and can be mounted in the main deck surface or the upper deck surface so as to cover a substantial portion of the main deck surface or the upper deck surface. The tailgate can be coupled to the main deck portion and can be movable between a closed position and an open position.

Abstract: A trailer for carrying plate glass has an elongated deck and an elongated rigid beam that extends above the deck. The beam supports plate glass transported by the trailer. The deck and the beam may be made from aluminum.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel organometallic complexes as catalysts for the reaction of compounds with isocyanate and hydroxyl functional groups to form urethane and/or polyurethane and the process employing such catalysts. More particularly, the present invention is directed to novel complexes of zinc(II) with substituted amidines. These novel catalysts are useful for the production of urethanes and polyurethanes which are important in many industrial applications.

Abstract: This invention relates to lubricating oil additives, and to lubricating oil compositions, their method of preparation, and use. More specifically, this invention relates to several novel lubricating oil additives and compositions which contain a tungsten compound and an antioxidant, namely aminic antioxidants such as a secondary diarylamine or an alkylated phenothiazine. The use of the tungsten compound with the secondary diarylamine and/or the alkylated phenothiazine provides improved oxidation and deposit control to lubricating oil compositions. The lubricating oil compositions of this invention are particularly useful as crankcase and transmission lubricants, gear oils and other high performance lubricant applications.

Abstract: A storage rack has upright columns supporting vertically cambered beams having step box or channel shapes accommodating a generally horizontal deck for carrying pallets and product loads. The beams have upward cambers or convex curvatures that increase the load carrying capacity of the rack.

Abstract: A protector for an upright column of a product storage rack has a V-shaped body with flat side walls joined to a convex curved vertical apex section. Pairs of studs cooperate with keyhole slots in the column to releasably mount the protector on the column. A releasable latch mounted on the protector engages the column to prevent removal of the protector from the column. The latch can be moved out of engagement from the column to permit the protector to be removed from the column.

Abstract: The present invention is related to novel acid functional pigment dispersing agents. In particular, the invention is directed to novel polymers with acid functional groups for use as pigment dispersants. The novel polymers comprise polymeric amides with free carboxyl functional groups having the structure: wherein PE is a polyester, PA is a polyamine and A is an anhydride. The novel pigment dispersants of the present invention are particularly effective for the dispersion of high color carbon black and organic pigments. The advantages of the novel pigment dispersants over known amine functional polymeric dispersants are several. They do not tend to discolor when exposed to UV light. They do not inhibit acid catalyzed reactions such as melamine crosslinking or react with isocyanate or catalyze the isocyanate/H2O reaction. They are non-toxic or much less toxic to aquatic organisms.

Abstract: A tilt bed for a truck or a trailer, the tilt bed being able of carrying loads and providing its own ramp. The tilt bed comprises a frame, and a deck mounted on and supported by the frame, the deck having a front portion and a rear portion. The deck has rollers connected to the front portion, and the frame has tracks mounted at an angle, the tracks for guiding the deck rollers. The trailer bed further comprises a hydraulic cylinder that has a first end connected to the frame and a second end connected to the trailer bed. The hydraulic cylinder has a piston and a cylinder. As the piston moves from an extended state into a retracted state, it causes the trailer bed to move in a rearward position. At the same time, the tracks force the deck rollers in an upward motion and cause the trailer bed to tilt. Finally, the hydraulic cylinder remains parallel to the trailer deck at all times. This orientation is accomplished because the trailer deck and the hydraulic cylinder tilt around a common axis.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a crosslinkable polymer composition comprising an alkoxysilane functional polyolefin and a silanol crosslinking catalyst selected from the group consisting of: (i) an alkylated naphthalene monosulfonic acid substituted with 1-4 alkyl groups wherein each alkyl group is a linear or branched alkyl with 5-20 carbons with each alkyl group being the same or different, wherein the total number of carbons in the alkyl groups is in the range of 20 to 80 carbons; (ii) an arylalkyl sulfonic acid wherein the aryl is phenyl or naphthyl and is substituted with 1-4 alkyl groups wherein each alkyl group is a linear or branched alkyl with 5-20 carbons with each alkyl group being the same or different, and wherein the total number of carbons in the alkyl groups is in the range of 12-80; (iii) a derivative of (i) or (ii) selected from the group consisting of an anhydride, an ester, an acetylate, an epoxy blocked ester and an amine salt thereof which is hydrolyzable to the corresponding al
