Abstract: A wax heating device for wax treatment of human skin that includes a contained a controlled exothermic chemical reaction to melt wax on a flexible element for contacting human skin. A heating pouch contains a first portion. A heater element has an inner area with a first portion holding a heat generating material and a second portion holding an actuation agent, with a seal that is broken to actuate the heat generation and melt the wax.

Abstract: A heater device for heating objects, including a compartment having a heat generating material and a second compartment having an activation material to generate heat upon mutual contact. The compartments are adapted to present a heating surface to the object to be heated. A divider is positioned in the compartments forming a barrier to maintain separation between reaction components until opened by an opening member positioned in alignment with the divider. An access element is movable into contact with the barrier to permit a heat generating reaction there between.

Abstract: A heater device includes a container formed from a vapor impervious material and having a quantity of heat generating material therein. Also provided is an activation material proximate the container. A seal on the container is adapted to be opened to transfer the activation material into contact with the heat generating material to generate heat and be resealed to contain the reaction products generating the heat.

Abstract: A shipping pallet made from cardboard sheets. A pair of support beams are positioned under a pallet top. “L” shaped beams positioned inside each of the support boxes such that such that the ends of the “L” shape engage inner corners of the box and the bend in the “L” contacts the inner top surface of the box. A filler beam may be inserted inside the “L” shaped beam.

Abstract: A device for activating a two component reaction system where the two reaction component are in separate containers with one container inside the other. The containers are sealed from each other and the inner container includes an activation element for opening a part of the seal. A pressure differential between the pressure in the inner and outer containers is made so the inner container has the higher pressure. Opening a part of the seal in the inner container drives the second component to react with the first reaction component. The seal is opened by cutting the inner container.

Abstract: A package for holding personal hygiene wipes. A heater has a pair of packages each having one or more personal hygiene wipes placed against it with the access opening to the wipes faces away from the heater. The heater includes an inner actuation pouch and an outer heat generating pouch. A pressure differential between the outer pouch and the inner pouch causes the activation agent to be thrust into contact with the heat generating material.

A heating pouch contains a first portion. A heater element has an inner area with a first portion holding a heat generating material and a second portion holding an actuation agent, with a seal that is broken to actuate the heat generation and melt the wax.

Abstract: A shipping pallet made from a first cardboard sheet having two sides with pre-set folds to form a box at each side positioned under the sheet. A fastener holds the shape of the box at each side. A pair of second cardboard sheets each having a pre-set fold forming a “L” shape and sized to fit inside one of the boxes such that such that the ends of the “L” shape engage inner corners of the box and the bend in the “L” contacts the inner top surface of the box.

Abstract: A shipping pallet made from cardboard sheets. A pair of support beams are positioned under a pallet top. “V” shaped beams positioned inside each of the support boxes such that such that the ends of the “V” shape engage inner comers of the box and the bend in the “V” contacts the inner top surface of the box. A filler beam may be inserted inside the “V” shaped beam.

Abstract: A heater device that includes an outer container formed from a vapor impervious material and holds a quantity of heat generating material. A second container is positioned inside the outer container and hold an activation material. A seal on the second container is adapted to be opened to transfer the activation material into contact with the heat generating material to generate heat. The device is useful in heating food such as military field rations.

Abstract: A combination heater device including an inner pouch with an activation agent and an outer pouch with a heat generating material adapted to generate heat upon contact by the activation agent. A first package containing at least one wipe is in heat absorbing contact with the heater as is a second package containing a food element requiring heating. A package holding element maintains the first and second package in contact with the heater.

Abstract: A personal hygiene wipe device that includes a contained and controlled exothermic chemical reaction to provide warmth for the wipe. The device includes an outer pouch containing a heat generating agent and an inner pouch inside the outer pouch and having an activating element. Upon application of pressure to the device, the spread of the activating agent into contact with the chemicals an the exothermic reaction. A heat sink is provided between the wipes and the outer pouch to absorb the initial production of heat and transfer that heat to the wipes.
