  • Patent number: 9546755
    Abstract: An accessory mounting system comprises a vertically aligned bracket configured to mate with a top corner block and a bottom corner block disposed below the top corner block of a pre-configured shipping container. A shaft may mount to the vertically aligned bracket and may have a first section slidable into a second section. In some examples, an accessory may be coupled to the shaft. The accessory may be elevated above a top plane of the pre-configured shipping container when the first section is slid at least partially out of the second section and the accessory mounting system is in an extended position. The accessory may be disposed next to the pre-configured shipping container when the first section is slid at least partially into the second section and the accessory mounting system is in a retracted position.

  • Patent number: 6286677
    Abstract: A coil cap cover for a cylindrical coil of aluminum stock provides round portion 20 sized to fit either end of the cylindrical coil of aluminum and a substantially rectangular attached skirt portion 60 which covers an adjacent portion of the cylindrical sidewall of the coil. A welded region 70 connects a perimeter edge of the round fabric portion to an upper edge of the fabric skirt portion, creating a three-dimensional coil cap. An overlap weld 80 fastens the upper edges of the ends of the skirt portion together with a segment of the perimeter of the round fabric portion. A crimp weld 90 fastens a lower corner of each end of the skirt portion together. In a preferred version of the invention, an overhang region radially outward from the welded region provides a plurality of curved blades separated by curved notches. A portion of each blade may be folded over the edge of the coil, depending on the diameter of the coil.
