Abstract: An adjustable carry strap and handle for facilitating the lifting of an object, such as a roll of material. The carry strap and handle has an elongated and substantially planar strap. Coupling portions are provided on the strap to enable the carry strap and handle to attach to itself when looping around an object to be carried, to a second carry strap and handle, or to another device. A handle is provided on the carry strap and handle to facilitate comfortable carrying by a user of the object to be carried. The handle is initially coplanar with the carry strap and handle, but folds into a substantially upright position when in use for increased comfort and safety for the user.

Abstract: A knitted netting includes longitudinal polyolefin ribbons and lateral polyolefin ribbons knitted with the longitudinal polyolefin ribbons to form knitted netting. The lateral polyolefin ribbons of the knitted netting have an actual shuss length more than 110% of a calculated shuss length for the knitted netting. The actual shuss length being in excess of 110% of the calculated shuss length for the knitted netting prevents transverse shrinkage of the netting.

Abstract: Method and material for wrapping items using a wrapping material made up of separate wrapping portion of a predetermined length. The wrapping portions are attached and released at their ends using a Z-lock system. The Z-lock system holds the wrapping portions together during manufacturing but can also easily release or separate the wrapping portions at a desired point in the wrapping process. The separating of the wrapping portions exposes an adhesive that is use to securely bond at least one wrapping portion to the item being wrapped at the end of a wrapping cycle.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing colored knitted net from a plurality of individual ribbons. A coloring apparatus adapted to color selected ribbons of said plurality of individual ribbons is provided between the orientation and knitting stages in the net production process. After the selected ribbons have been colored, a knitting apparatus knits the plurality of individual ribbons into a Raschel net.

Abstract: A trolley assembly is provided including a pair of trolley brackets with an axle extending outwardly from each of the trolley brackets. Bushings adapted to rotatably engage each of the axles are provided with a wheel fixedly attached to each of the bushings. The bushings include an interlock to prevent rotation of the bushing with respect to the wheel. A pendant is attached to the pair of trolley brackets. The components of the trolley assembly can be replaced on a one-to-one basis with parts of prior art trolley assemblies.

Abstract: A method of making an elastic wrapper netting wherein linear low density polyethylene ribbons are knitted into a Raschel net. The ribbons of the knitted wrapper netting have an orientation of about 1:4.25 in the longitudinal direction.
