  • Patent number: 8322733
    Abstract: A device for transporting various articles has a container with a bottom portion and two opposing sidewall portions extending vertically from the bottom portion. A plurality of locating features may be placed within the container, upon a pair of opposing sidewalls. Securing sheets are adapted to fit within the locating features to accommodate a number of different articles. The securing sheets may be flexible so that they can expand to accommodate an article and to provide a compressive-type securing force to keep the article in place once inserted. Some embodiments contain securing sheets which have less vertical height than the sidewall portions of the container so that articles attached to a pedestal can be securely held within the device. A means for rolling the device may be attached to the bottom portion.

  • Patent number: 6435963
    Abstract: Devices, methods of using the devices, and kits are described that provide a protective barrier device between an air delivery structure of an air conditioning unit and the ceiling components that are adjacent to the air delivery structure. The device is a unitary water-impermeable structure having surfaces that act as barrier, preventing condensation collecting on the air delivery structure from passing to the sorrounding ceiling components. A preferred embodiment of the invention has a surface projecting into the space being cooled, said surface deflecting air from the adjacent ceiling structures, thereby reducing or preventing collection of dirt or other particles, or moisture, from depositing on the adjacent ceiling components.
