Abstract: A floating platform includes multiple flotation block elements arranged in a general grid pattern, and a structural body supported buoyantly by the flotation elements. An assemblage of floating platforms are joined by one or more connector elements each having a cylindrical body extending across a control joint between opposed sidewall surfaces of adjacent floating platforms. The cylindrical body has a first portion received within a first cylindrical disc assembly secured by a first clamp element and fixedly attached to a first of the opposed sidewall surfaces. The cylindrical body also has an opposite, second end portion received within a second cylindrical disc assembly secured by a second clamp element and fixedly attached to a second of the opposed sidewall surfaces, opposite to the first of the opposed sidewall surfaces. The cylindrical body may be a flexible, or the cylindrical body may be relatively stiff or rigid.

Abstract: A garment carrier, and a blank for forming a garment carrier, may be used once, or a few times, for transport of one or a few garments on hanger hooks, and then discarded. The carrier has a body of thin material, e.g. corrugated cardboard or biodegradable or other plastic, forming a handle and defining an orifice for receiving the free end of one or a few hangers.

A hinged flap extends at least across the body and may be secured thereto.

Abstract: A garment carrier, and a blank for forming a garment carrier, may be used once or a few times for transport of one or a few garments on hanger hooks, and then discarded. The carrier has a body of thin material, e.g. corrugated cardboard or biodegradable, or other plastic, forming a handle and defining an orifice for receiving the free end of one or a few hangers. A hinged flap extends at least across the body and may be secured thereto, and a securement tab connected to the flap extends through another orifice in the body to define a limited securement region containing the hangers. In preferred embodiments, another flap connected to the first extends about the body and also serves to restrict movement of the free end of the tab extending through the orifice.

Abstract: A device for receiving and containing, during transport, the hooks of one or a few garment hangers, consists of a case having an arcuate integral base wall defining a support surface for supporting one or a few garment hanger hooks, first and second side walls upstanding along opposite peripheral edges of the base wall and at least one upstanding end wall extending between the side walls. The walls together define an arcuate chamber for receiving and retaining one or a few garment hanger hooks. At least one of the walls moves relative to the base wall in a manner to permit access for the garment hanger hooks and can be secured to retain the garment hanger hooks within the chamber during transport.
