An articulating member adapted to articulate about multiple axes and method for making same is disclosed. The articulating member may comprise an articulating section that allows for the articulating member to articulate laterally, vertically, or both so that the articulating member may be articulated to fit along the contour of a substrate and be adhered or affixed thereto. The articulating section may be arranged in a corrugated pattern with alternating ridges and furrows. The geometry of the articulating section is such that the stress concentrations along the various surfaces of the articulating member may be reduced when the member is articulated laterally, vertically, or both. The method comprises the steps of providing a die being shaped with geometry that will produce an articulating member, and machining a sheet of material to produce an articulating member.

A shipping container includes a body defining an interior. The shipping container further includes a dunnage assembly, the dunnage assembly including a tray and a hinge, the hinge subdividing the tray into a first tray portion and a second tray portion. The dunnage assembly is movable along a transverse axis between a first position wherein the second tray portion is at least partially disposed within the interior and a second position wherein the second tray portion is entirely exterior to the body. The second tray portion is rotatable relative to the first tray portion about the hinge when the dunnage assembly is moved between the first position and the second position.

A method of manufacturing, packing and shipping a vehicle bumper having the steps of dispensing into a bumper mold a shape-memory composition to form an original shape of an integral shape-memory vehicle bumper having a middle portion and a first end and a second end both extending from opposite ends of the middle portion, the shape-memory vehicle bumper having the original shape fitting in a first shipping box; applying force to the shape-memory vehicle bumper such that to cause a conversion of the original shape into a deformed shape of the shape-memory vehicle bumper, the deformed shape fitting into a second shipping box that is a fraction by volume of the first shipping box; placing the shape-memory vehicle bumper having the deformed shape into the second shipping box; and sealing and shipping the second shipping box.

A container for holding product therein during shipment and for reuse has multiple levels of tracks supported by each side of the container. At least one of the tracks on each side may be linear, generally U-shaped and/or L-shaped. Dunnage supports and at least one lockable crossbar assembly travel along corresponding tracks at the same level. At least one lockable crossbar assembly has locking assemblies to fix the position of the lockable crossbar assembly relative to the tracks. Dunnage hangs from at least some of the dunnage supports for supporting products.

A container for holding product therein during shipment and being returned for reuse has at least one track supported by each side of the container. The container has dunnage supports extending between corresponding tracks at the same level. At least one lockable crossbar assembly has one or more locking assemblies to fix the position of the lockable crossbar assembly relative to the tracks. Dunnage may hang from the dunnage supports for supporting products during storage or shipment.

A decorative shaped hardware tray in the form of a vehicle is provided and is designed to easily organize various hardware parts removed from a vehicle being worked on. The car-shaped hardware tray includes a base and a cover and the base includes a plurality of compartments for storing hardware. The location of each compartment within the tray matches the location of an actual vehicle from which the hardware is taken. In this way, when a user removes hardware from a vehicle being repaired, the user places the hardware in the compartment that corresponds to the part being repaired on the vehicle.

A container for holding product therein during shipment and being returned for reuse has at least one track supported by each side of the container. The container has at least one lockable crossbar assembly extending between opposed tracks. Each lockable crossbar assembly has one or more locking assemblies to fix the position of the lockable crossbar assembly relative to the tracks.

A rack for storing and/or transporting elements, in particular glazing elements, of the type including a receiving structure for these elements, the top part of the structure including a receiving device and a securing device for an additional top rack that is to be stacked thereon, and the bottom part of this structure including a complementary device that can allow it to cooperate with the receiving device and the securing device of an additional bottom rack on which it is to be stacked. The securing device includes at least two members separated from one another in the transverse direction by a value of a pitch corresponding to a difference in dimensions, in the transverse direction, of the racks that are to be stacked.

An assembly incorporates a main body having first and second side panels, an end panel, and first and second flaps. The end panel is disposed between the first and second side panels. The first and second flaps extend outwardly from corresponding lower edges of the first and second panels. The main body selectively exhibits a pre-assembled configuration, in which the first and second side panels, the end panel, and the first and second flaps are oriented in a first plane, and an assembled configuration, in which the first and second side panels are oriented in an overlying relationship with respect to each other with the end panel extending therebetween. The first and second flaps are overlapped and secured to form a base upon which the main body is supported as a freestanding structure. The main body defines, in the assembled configuration, a cavity configured to receive an automobile part.

A rack for storing and/or transporting elements, in particular glazing elements, of the type including a structure provided with a receiving device capable of receiving and holding these elements and with a frontal protection device. This rack is characterized in that the protection device is able to occupy two positions, namely a deployed position in which the device blocks access to the interior of the rack and a retracted position in which the device allows free access to the latter.
