Abstract: A pallet includes a cargo layer, a base layer and support structures coupled between. The cargo layer includes a pair of horizontally positioned outer deck boards and at least one horizontally positioned intermediate deck board therebetween. The at least one horizontally positioned intermediate deck board has opposing sidewalls, and a spaced apart openings at least partially extending through the opposing sidewalls. The pair of horizontally positioned outer deck boards have opposing sidewalls, and spaced apart openings extending through at least one of the sidewalls of each outer deck board. The spaced apart openings in each horizontally positioned outer deck board are aligned with the spaced apart openings in an adjacent sidewall of least one horizontally positioned intermediate deck board. Inserts are in the spaced apart openings.

Abstract: A pallet includes a cargo layer, a base layer and support structures coupled between. The cargo layer includes a pair of horizontally positioned outer plastic deck boards and at least one horizontally positioned intermediate plastic deck board therebetween. The at least one horizontally positioned intermediate plastic deck board has opposing sidewalls, and a spaced apart openings at least partially extending through the opposing sidewalls. The pair of horizontally positioned outer plastic deck boards have opposing sidewalls, and spaced apart openings extending through at least one of the sidewalls of each outer plastic deck board. The spaced apart openings in each horizontally positioned outer plastic deck board are aligned with the spaced apart openings in an adjacent sidewall of least one horizontally positioned intermediate plastic deck board.

Abstract: A method to improve a pallet may include joining into a pallet four C-brackets, a pallet-deck, a first bottom-deck member, and a second bottom-deck member where two of the four C-brackets insides face two of the other four C-brackets' insides. The method may also include sizing a port to receive load-handling equipment tines formed by the four C-brackets, the pallet-deck, the first bottom-deck member, and the second bottom-deck member.

Abstract: A carbonated drink closure and dispensing device having an upper cap portion, a lower cap portion removably and rotatably secured to the upper cap portion at one end, and removably secured to a top opening of a container at an opposing end. The lower cap portion includes an opening allowing fluid contents of the container to flow thererough, and a valve member is dimensioned and configured to cover the lower cap portion opening. An anti-rotation device is disposed on the lower cap portion and houses the valve member, wherein the rotation of the upper cap portion slides the valve member within the anti-rotation device, closing off the opening of the lower cap portion in one position, and moves away from the opening of the lower cap portion allowing fluid contents from the container to flow through the opening and through the upper cap portion.

The lower cap portion includes an opening allowing fluid contents of the container to flow thererough, and a valve member is dimensioned and configured to cover the lower cap portion opening. The valve member threadably engages the upper cap portion, and an anti-rotation device is disposed on the lower cap portion and houses the valve member, wherein the rotation of the upper cap portion slides the valve member within the anti-rotation device to close off the opening of the lower cap portion in one position, and moves away from the opening of the lower cap portion allowing fluid contents from the container to flow through the opening and through the upper cap portion.

Abstract: A wheelchair is foldable to open and closed positions. The wheelchair includes first and second frame members that are movable with respect to each other during folding of the wheelchair. A biasing member is connected to at least one of the frame members. Movement of the frame members with respect to each other during folding of the wheelchair creates a biasing force in the biasing member urging the wheelchair to an open position.

Abstract: A vibratory screen separator having a base, resilient mountings and a separator frame. Screens are fixed in the separator frame. Rotary eccentric vibrators are positioned on each side of the frame at the center of mass and inclined both in the direction of motion of the material and tilted normal to the direction of motion of the material in opposite directions to define uni-directional elliptical vibratory motion in the frame.
