  • Publication number: 20070012639
    Abstract: A bag-in-box container rack has first and second side walls, a pair of support bars, spaced apart and parallel to one another, extending horizontally between the first and second side walls, and a plurality of bag-in-box container supports extending between the support bars. The rack has at least one vertical panel having a plurality of flanges that are adapted to slidably support a fluid dispensing component, such as a pump or pump assembly, on the panel; the flanges being made from the same material as the rest of the panel, and being monolithically formed therewith. In one embodiment, the vertical panel is made of metal and the flange portions are cut from the metal forming the panel and bent outwardly to form the flange. The rack can be used in a modular bag-in-box container rack system made from a plurality of substantially identical rack sections stacked vertically on one another. Each container support includes a pair of rails adapted to support a standard size bag-in-box container.

  • Publication number: 20050047883
    Abstract: An interchangeable boring bar system for positioning implement holders at user-selected radial and axial positions along the boring bar includes an extendable boring bar defining an axis and a number of center stations that slidably mount on the boring bar. Annular collars on the bar axially position the center stations at the desired axial positions along the bar. Each implement holder is carried on a wing that is removably mounted on a center station and positions the implement holder the desired radial distance from the bar.
