A packaging and shipping system for dry charged batteries. The packaging system includes a shipping crate having a lower section that defines an open interior. The open interior is sized to receive a dry charged battery and a plurality of electrolyte bottles. Each of the electrolyte bottles contains a volume of electrolyte sufficient to fill one of the individual cells of the dry charged battery. Each of the electrolyte bottles are separately packaged and positioned within the open interior of the shipping crate. Upon reaching the desired destination, the shipping crate can be stored. When the dry charged battery is to be placed into use, the shipping crate is opened and the individual cells of the dry charged battery are filled with electrolyte from the plurality of electrolyte bottles. Once the dry charged battery has been activated, the empty electrolyte bottles can be placed back into the shipping crate and returned for recycling.

A structural element (10) for forming a panel, with an upper plane (12) and lower plane (14) which are parallel and deformed along their plane at intervals by pods (16) which extrude toward the opposing plane with their internal faces mating to one another.

A foldably constructed pallet includes a top member forming a top surface and includes a top perimeter edge and a plurality of upper edge supports extending from the top perimeter edge and perpendicular to the top surface. The foldably constructed pallet further includes a bottom member forming a bottom surface. The bottom member includes a bottom perimeter edge and a plurality of lower edge supports extending from the bottom perimeter edge and perpendicular to the bottom surface. The foldably constructed pallet further includes a plurality of structural inserts received between the top and bottom members and positioned adjacent to the plurality of upper edge supports and the plurality of lower edge supports.

This invention is related to a winding resistant cardboard, which mainly has at least one support unit and at least one carrying unit. The support unit has a cross section in a rectangular shape lacking one side to form an opening laterally disposed to face the at least one carrying unit. The carrying unit is formed by a plurality of corrugated boards disposed vertically and bound abreast. The support unit is formed by a plurality of stacked cardboards bound and pressed together to provide winding resistant function like beams and columns. The good pressure bearing strength of the support unit formed by a plurality of corrugated boards disposed vertically and attached abreast also help the winding resistant cardboard not to be bent and deformed under a heavy weight. Accordingly, the safety of the winding resistant cardboard as a building material or a packaging material can be elevated.

A novel platform made of paper materials for the storage, stacking, handling and transportation of goods comprises a top deck comprising a plurality of top deck boards (20a-20e) and a plurality of support beam assemblies (30). The plurality of top deck boards (20a-20e) are attached at regular intervals and perpendicular to the plurality of support beam assemblies (30). In the platform, the top deck boards (20a-20e) and the support beam assemblies (30) are both constructed solely from a combination of a plurality of longitudinal elements having a L-section. The novel platform may further include a bottom deck (40a-40c) comprising a plurality of bottom deck boards which are also constructed solely from a combination of a plurality of longitudinal elements having a L-section.

A support assembly for constructing and staging a pipeline for installation in a trench. The support assembly includes one or more stacks of support segments. A support segment for the support assembly. Method of using and making the support segments.

A paper pallet according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a plurality of leg beams each formed such that a cross section thereof has a rectangular shape, each leg beam being long in one direction. At least one of the plurality of leg beams includes: a laminated structure in which a plurality of sheet-like paper core materials are laminated in a width direction of the leg beam orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the leg beam and which has a cavity formed therein; and a honeycomb structure fitted into the cavity of the laminated structure and having a plurality of tubular cells extending in the width direction.

In at least one embodiment, an apparatus for securing boxes on a pallet may a structural member sized to run a length or a width of a pallet, the structural member having a top side and a bottom side. The structural member may be L-shaped. The structural member allows for securing a load on the pallet. The structural member also provides additional surface area for plastic wrap to secure a load. The structural member may have tabs that fit within the recesses between planks of a pallet. In various embodiments, the structural member and tabs may be formed as a single composite structure.

Once the dry charged battery has been activated, the empty electrolyte bottles can be placed back into the shipping crate and returned for recycling.

A container includes a first panel with a detent and a pin extending therefrom, a second panel that extends transverse to the first panel, and a bracket removably coupled to the first panel via engagement with the detent and the pin such that the bracket prevents movement of the second panel relative to the first panel. The detent is selectively depressed to thereby decouple the bracket from the first panel.
