  • Patent number: 11154737
    Abstract: Described are flame retardant, porous plastic flame arrestors. The flame retardant, porous plastic flame arrestor is formed by irradiating a flame retardant polymer resin to achieve a fractional melt index, grinding the flame retardant polymer resin into a powder, and sintering the flame retardant polymer resin to form a porous structure. Irradiating the flame retardant polymer resin increases the resin's molecular weight and reduces the resin's melt index through crosslinking.

  • Patent number: 8739985
    Abstract: In a push back cart rack storage system, the top or first cart, as well as the second cart, may be made with less material, and may be significantly simpler and lighter in comparison to existing designs. A push-back cart storage system has a single pair of push-back rails in each lane. A third cart has front and back wheels rolling on a lower inside flange of the push-back rails. A second cart has front wheels rolling on a lower inside cart flange of side rails of the third cart, and has rear wheels rolling on the lower inside flange of the push-back rails. A first or top cart has front and rear wheels rolling on a top surface of the push-back rails. The wheels on the first cart may be inner facing wheels while the wheels on the other carts may be outer facing wheels. The push-back rails and the side rails of the carts may be generally C-shaped channel sections.

  • Patent number: 8727144
    Abstract: A drive-in rail attachment or arm attaches left and right side drive-in rails to left and right side uprights in a drive-in storage rack. The left and right side rail arms may each be formed from a flat plate having an upright section, a sidewall section and a rail section. The upright section may be bent about a first axis to an orientation substantially perpendicular to the sidewall section and the rail section bent about a second axis to an orientation substantially perpendicular to the sidewall section. First and second pairs of holes may be provided in the upright section, with the first pair of holes optionally offset from the second pair of holes. Drive-in rails can be attached to the storage rack without the need for welded components.

  • Patent number: 8672148
    Abstract: A push-back cart storage system has one or more push-back carts having a cross-member formed by a structural angle section having cutouts at opposite ends to provide clearance for the second push-back cart to move under the first push-back cart. The cross member provides a truss or joist type of beam support having a full height middle section which resists bending and a reduced height at the ends, to provide a low profile. Side members or angle sections on the cart have through holes for attaching wheels, with no welding of wheel mounts required.

  • Patent number: 8336833
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide modular grid systems for use with aperture-forming devices. The modular grid system includes a plurality of modular grids, wherein each modular grid includes an outer frame, an outer partial ring coupled to the frame, and at least one inner partial ring coupled to the outer partial ring via at least one securable connection, wherein the outer partial ring and the at least one inner partial ring form arcs of greater than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees. Each modular grid is coupled to an adjacent modular grid. In some embodiments, the outer frame comprises a removable bar. In some embodiments, the plurality of modular grids are oriented in the same direction. In some embodiments, the modular grid is configured to couple to an aperture-forming device, where the aperture-forming device has a diameter ranging from 2 to 6 inches.
