Abstract: A new and improved tier sheet comprises a three-layer laminated extrusion comprising outer layers of a suitable polypropylene homopolymer, and an inner core layer comprising a suitable polypropylene copolymer blended with a suitable elastomer selected from the group comprising SANTOPRENE®, KRATON®; ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA), and a thermoplastic olefin (TPO).

Abstract: A cargo load bracing bar comprises first, outer and second, inner telescoping tubular members, a housing attached to the outer tubular member, a pinion gear and actuating ratchet handle, having a spring-biased ratchet member mounted thereon, respectively rotatably and pivotally mounted upon the housing, and a gear rack attached at one end thereof to the inner tubular member while the opposite end of the gear rack is slidably disposed upon the outer tubular member. An angle bracket is mounted upon the housing, and a spring-biased pawl member is slidably disposed upon the gear rack and operatively associated with the angle bracket. The pawl member and the ratchet member are normally engaged with the pinion gear so as to achieve the ratcheting extension of the gear rack and the inner tubular member with respect to the outer tubular member.

Abstract: A disposable liner for a pressure feed paint cup and a method for using such liner. A lid is removed from the paint cup and a disposable liner bag is inserted into the cup while an open end of the liner bag extends from the open cup end. The open liner bag end is folded over and protects the cup end and paint is poured into the liner bag. A disposable lid is placed over the open cup end and the open liner bag end is folded inwardly over the disposable lid. The paint cup lid is then attached to the paint cup, clamping the liner bag and disposable lid in place. As the paint cup lid is placed on the paint cup, a paint feed tube is pushed through an opening in the disposable lid. Optionally, a ring may be placed in a recess in the disposable lid to retain the folded liner bag end in place while the paint cup lid is attached to the paint cup. After painting, the liner and any remaining paint are disposed of.
