Abstract: A configurable pallet that can be readily assembled to match the particular load requirements of an application. The pallet includes structural elongated platform members 10; 10? used in different configurations with either leg members 30 or reinforcement structural beams 20. Platform members 10? include conical protuberances 14?; 16? that are receivable within cooperating frustoconical openings 14; 16 or 14a; 16a that keep the structural members in place and perpendicularly to each other, in addition to the use of fastening members. When reinforcement beams 20 are used, the structural integrity of the pallet is enhanced to reduce the stress/relaxation wear thereby preventing or minimizing the possibilities of disengagement. A diaphragm plate 225 is optionally used to enhance the structural stability of beam 20.

Abstract: A collapsible container that in the assembled configuration provides for a predetermined central space protected by six walls that are perpendicularly mounted with respect to each abutting wall and in the e collapsed configuration occupies minimum space. A bottom wall is provided with a predetermined umber of hinge knuckles with a central through opening through which pins are passed. Parapets of different heights are provided to raise the knuckles to predetermined heights that will clear the stacked up thickness of the folded walls. The height of the front, rear and the two side lateral walls is determined by the width of the bottom wall which in turn will also determine the width and height of the front and rear walls. A handle is removably mounted to the top wall, protruding toward the exterior.

Abstract: A volumetric efficient collapsible and tamper proof container for protecting goods contained therein during transportation and storage. The container comprises six walls perpendicularly and hingedly mounted to each other to define a cubic space therein. Long and short elongated pins are passed through openings in knuckle extensions on the sides of the walls and they are cooperatively disposed to offset each opposite tubular member to permit the coaxial alignment of the respective through openings. Locking tubular members are used to keep one or more of the long pins in place. The long pins keep the shorter pins in place. Seal members are used to prevent the removal of one or more of the long pins that are keeping the short pins in place. The other long and short elongated pins are kept in place with locking tubular members that can only be removed when the walls are flat on a common plane.

Abstract: A hermetic container and coupling system for transferring granular material from a first container to a second container, the latter being typically an applicator. The first container includes a neck and a base opposite to the former. The base includes through openings that cooperate with a cable passed therethrough for supporting the first container. A nozzle assembly includes an inlet removably connected to the neck and an outlet hat is selectively closed with a removable plug. A cover assembly is selectively and removably mounted to the first container covering the nozzle assembly. A flexible conduit is removably connected to the outlet, at one end, and the other end includes a regulating valve that is actuated from the outside. The other end is removably connected to the second container so that the transfer of the granular material can be accomplished without spillage and the contents are kept hermetically isolated from the outside.
