Abstract: The present invention is a thermal and acoustical insulation wall panel assembly that incorporates a synthetic vinyl. This panel assembly reduces the amount of hazardous waste and the cost of manufacturing, shipping and installing the insulation. The panel is comprised of a plurality of superimposed layers. One layer is a rigid facing which is preferably corrugated for supporting the panel. Attached to this facing are, in sequential layers, a thermal-insulating batt, a mass-loaded vinyl sheet for acoustic-insulation, a second thermal-insulating batt, a heat-reflective backing, and a retainer. A plurality of connectors are used to hold the plurality of superimposed layers together.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a fire barrier insulation blanket (5) having a first sheet of insulation material (10) and a second sheet of thermal reflective material (20) joined together to form a fire and thermal barrier (50). The barrier (50) is encapsulated by two wire mesh sheets (30,40). One mesh sheet (40) is corrugated to space the barrier (50) from the surface being insulated (100). The insulation (5) is stitched together along longitudinal edges (5a,5b) by a stainless steel thread (60). Two blankets (7,8) can be joined together along longitudinal ends (7a,7b,8a,8b) by hog rings (65).

Abstract: An end fitting in the form of a head for a cargo-retaining bar of the type used with a belt rail to restrain or support cargo against shifting or movement in a truck, railroad car or the like. The end fitting includes a coupling apparatus adapted to be received in a retaining slot formed in a belt rail attached to the inner walls of the cargo vehicle.

Abstract: A prefabricated insulating panel and mounting assembly providing an outer metallic sheet together with an inner batt of insulation material carried thereon, with the outer metallic sheet providing a longitudinally extending clip to which is attached a hanger whereby the panel may be fixedly positioned upon a supporting structure to be insulated.

Abstract: A freight-retaining device consisting of a rack removably attached to a freight-hauling vehicle, such as a flat-deck railroad car, with the rack providing a plurality of vertically extending freight-retaining fingers adjustably spaced throughout the longitudinal length of the rack.

Abstract: A head structure for a crossbar useful in positioning and restraining freight in movable vehicles. The head structure provides a plurality of independent yet interrelated spring biased locking members selectively used with a variety of different configurations of belt rails positioned along opposite sides of the vehicle for positioning and restraining freight therein.

Abstract: A prefabricated insulated pipe jacket comprising two interlocking semicircular sections, with each section consisting of a stainless steel exterior overlay cover, an inner body of insulation and an interior protective sheet, the overlay cover and interior protective sheet being secured together to either side of the insulation by a series of spaced retaining members carried by a connector strip providing a semi-closure for the insulation while maintaining a minimum heat transfer attachment between the cover and inner protective sheet.
