Abstract: A modular vertical stacking load bearing wall and shoring panel includes a set of opposing columns elongated parallel to a vertical axis, each having a coupler. Each coupler includes an interior plate located in a horizontal plane substantially parallel to the vertical axis and the plate separates the coupler into two sections. A bottom track and a top track are attached between the columns. A top horizontal beam member is attached between the columns with its top surface located below the bottom edge of the coupler. A set of horizontal braces is attached perpendicularly between the columns and are spaced apart. Furring strips are attached to the top track, the bottom track and the horizontal braces. Fire safing material may be deposited in the coupler to promote fire resistance.

Abstract: A tube dispenser for adhesive compositions and adhesive components is equipped with a sponge applicator device. The tube includes an upper neck body which is cylindrical with exterior threads so that the sponge applicator device may be attached. The sponge applicator device has a rigid cap portion with interior threads, a cylindrical top end having a longitudinal channel, an absorbent, porous applicator material covering the external opening of the longitudinal channel, and a lance centered within the threaded cap and coaxial with the longitudinal channel. The porous applicator material may be affixed to the external opening of the top end with an adhesive, or held in place by a snap ring.

Abstract: A swab applicator for containing and dispensing cyanoacrylate adhesives is disclosed. The device comprises a tube applicator with a valve to contain the cyanoacrylate until use. The valve can be a ball, a bead or a capsule, or it can be an oblong object having a channel closed at one end. The device further comprises an absorbent material which is saturated by cyanoacrylate for application upon opening of the valve. The device can be heat sterilized using dry heat sterilization without rupturing prematurely from pressure generated during the sterilization process.
