Abstract: This disclosure provides an article of manufacture for supporting a load. The article can be employed to store a load under static conditions for an extended period of time, and can also serve as a platform for supporting the stored load while the load is being lifted from one location and transported to and placed in another location. The article is comprised of a plurality of separate planar elements which are releasably, but rigidly, connected each to the other to facilitate transport, assembly, repair and replacement of the parts. In one aspect, the article is comprised of a load contacting component featuring a structural system comprised of ribs located in one of the said planar elements inserted into and stabilized by slots located in another of the said planar elements. In another aspect, the load contacting component can be releasably attached to another of the said planar elements to form a rackable pallet capable of supporting a load in an open rack drive-through storage system.

Abstract: A molded plastic product and material handling pallet comprising upper and lower pieces of different plastic materials assembled in separable mating registration to provide a pervious product bed and a lower framework of sufficient strength for vertical stacking storage of product-loaded pallets in open racks.

Abstract: Stain-resistant antimony organic sulfur-containing compositions are disclosed. A stain-resistant additive, particularly a soluble organic violet dye is included in liquid antimony compositions and such compositions are storage stable. The normally liquid antimony compositions provide effective heat stabilization in vinyl halide resins and resistance to staining associated with such sources as cross-staining, titanium dioxide and ultraviolet light.
