  • Patent number: 6029425
    Abstract: A bin loader package and method for shipping, storing and dispensing cut paper directly into the paper supply bin of a machine which uses the paper. The package includes a box enclosure having opposite side walls, opposite end walls, a top wall and a bottom wall, enclosing a stack of paper sheets to be used in the machine. The enclosure is defined by telescopically interengaged tubular members which form the side and end walls, the top wall, and the bottom wall. The entire package is placed in the paper supply bin of the machine, and one of the members is then moved horizontally away from the other member and the stack of paper, after which the other member is lifted vertically away from the stack of paper and out of the paper supply bin to expose the paper and deposit it directly from the package into the paper supply bin.

  • Patent number: 5171114
    Abstract: An expandable load spacer having a suspension strip fixedly attached to a generally honeycomb, cellular void filler is disclosed for use between stacks of articles of freight in, for example, rail cars and other shipping vehicles or containers. The load spacer substantially eliminates the hour glass effect generally experienced in suspended dunnage devices, while at the same time significantly reducing the amount of sheet material required in the manufacture of those load spacers.
