A molded plastic stacking device is placed between stacked containers of the type having a pallet bottom supporting a container body or sleeve. The device fits onto the top of one container and provides receptacles that receive and stabilize the legs of an upper pallet that is part of another container.

A reconfigurable pallet/dolly platform includes a top deck that includes a product support surface and an opposing underside. The underside includes pallet support leg attachment areas for receiving pallet support legs when configured as a pallet, and dolly wheel attachment areas for receiving dolly wheels when configured as a dolly. The product support surface includes pallet support leg receiving areas aligned with the pallet support leg attachment areas and configured to engage the pallet support legs from an identical platform stacked thereon when configured as a pallet. The product support surface also includes dolly wheel receiving areas aligned with the dolly wheel wells and configured to engage the dolly wheels from an identical platform stacked thereon when configured as a dolly.

The invention is directed to a stacking efficient dry flow bin. The bin can be configured in a nested configuration for transport and in an expanded configuration for use in holding and dispensing a flowable material. The bin is configured to stack with other like bins so that a stack three bins high will fit in the compartment of a standard shipping truck.

A corrugated pallet produced from two flat blanks is provided. The pallet may include a pallet top, a pallet bottom, and a plurality of corner straps locking the pallet top to the pallet bottom. Each of the pallet top and the pallet bottom may include folded portions, the folded portions of the pallet top interlocking with the folded portions of the pallet bottom when the pallet top and the pallet bottom are assembled to each other in nested relation. The pallet top may define a top surface of the pallet. The pallet bottom may define a bottom surface of the pallet. The corner straps may lock into one or both of the pallet top and the pallet bottom from the top or bottom surfaces of the pallet.

A transport container for carrying objects includes a base for supporting the objects. Opposing first and second side walls are operatively connected to the base. At least one of the side walls is movable between an extended position and a contracted position. The transport container has a first width between the first and second side walls when at least one of the side walls is in the extended position and a second width between the side walls when at least one of the side walls is in the contracted position. The second width is different from the first width. The first and second side walls are also movable between a deployed position and a collapsed position. The transport container has a first height when the side walls are in the deployed position and a second height different than the first height when the side walls are in the collapsed position.

A housing unit (1) is provided having a sleeve (10) defining a chamber (11) and a capsule (30) that is arranged to house an electronic device (32) in the capsule (30). The capsule (30) is shaped and configured to be received in the chamber (11). The sleeve (10) and capsule (30) have cooperating securing formations that are arranged to enable the capsule to be releasably secured within the chamber (11). The sleeve (10) is shaped and configured to enable it to fit into a cavity in a load carrier.

A pallet includes a forward and an aft end block with a plurality of assemblies connected in series between the forward and aft end blocks. Each assembly includes a bottom plate extending along a horizontal plane and having a pair of opposite side edges and a top plate extending along a horizontal plane, parallel to the bottom plate, and having another pair of opposite side edges. Two tee sections are sandwiched between the top plate and the bottom plate. The horizontal portion of each tee section is attached to the bottom plate and the vertical portion of each tee section is attached to the top plate. An intermediate support connects a front end of one assembly to a back end of an adjacent assembly.

A method, system, apparatus, or device to support or move objects. The apparatus may include a substrate and a rib structure. The rib structure may be disposed at an interior portion of the substrate. The rib structure may include a first chamber extending downwardly from a first plane to a second plane. A wall of the first chamber may taper inwardly to form a first inverted dome. The rib structure may include a second chamber extending downwardly from the first plane to the second plane to form a second inverted dome. A wall of the second chamber may taper inwardly to form a first inverted dome.

A hollow extension collar for a flowable material dispensing box, fits over a prior art dispensing box and can be locked in place to increase the enclosed volume incrementally. The incremental increase is determined by the height of walls from which the extension collar is formed. Multipe extension collars can be stacked on top of each other and filled with flowable material.

An anti-sagging device, configured to conform with a lightweight pellet, is described. Details of assemblies of a lightweight pellet and the novel anti-sagging devices are further described. An assembly of a lightweight pellet and the novel anti-sagging devices is characterized by superior structural firmness, so that upon placing the assembly onto two side-beams of a racking or shelving structure, the assembly effectively does not sag remains essentially planar or linear.
