A paint package lid () includes a base wall () having a lid base wall upper surface () and a lid base wall lower surface (), a container coupling rim () disposed radially outwardly with respect to the base wall and having a rim upper surface (), and a closure well () disposed radially inwardly with respect to the base wall. The closure well includes a radially outer wall () extending downwardly with respect to the base wall, a lower wall () extending radially inwardly with respect to the radially outer wall and establishing a lowermost surface () of the lid, and a neck () disposed radially inwardly with respect to the radially outer wall and extending upwardly from the lower wall and having a closure coupling (). Also disclosed is a lid and closure assembly and a paint package () including the lid.

Paint package and paint package lid

An adjustable truss structure is provided and includes a truss member with a first channel attached to the truss member, the first channel having a first slot, and a rail having a second slot with an anchor attached to the rail. The anchor has a member rotatable to a first position where the member is insertable into the first slot and rotatable to a second position to engage with a surface of the first channel, enabling the rail to be selectively moved relative to the first channel and locked into a fixed position relative to the first channel. The adjustable truss structure also includes a support member having a second channel, the second channel being hooked into the second slot and being slidable in the second slot.

A paint package lid () includes a base wall () having a lid base wall upper surface () and a lid base wall lower surface (), a container coupling rim () disposed radially outwardly with respect to the base wall and having a rim upper surface (), and a closure well () disposed radially inwardly with respect to the base wall. The closure well includes a radially outer wall () extending downwardly with respect to the base wall, a lower wall () extending radially inwardly with respect to the radially outer wall and establishing a lowermost surface () of the lid, and a neck () disposed radially inwardly with respect to the radially outer wall and extending upwardly from the lower wall and having a closure coupling (). Also disclosed is lid and closure assembly and a paint package () including the lid.

An adjustable truss structure is provided and includes a truss member, a first channel having a first slot, the first channel being attached to the truss member, a rail having a second slot, and an anchor attached to the rail, the anchor having a member rotatable to a first position where the member is insertable into the first slot and rotatable to a second position to engage with a surface of the first channel, enabling the rail to be selectively moved relative to the first channel and locked into a selected fixed position relative to the first channel. A support member having a second channel with a U-shaped cross-section, the second channel being hooked into the second slot and being slidable in the second slot.

A method of removing a closure from a container includes engaging three or more pry fingers against a lid and a container of the package in three or more locations spaced circumferentially around the package, and moving the pry fingers against the container and the lid, to pry the lid away from the container. A closure remover includes a frame, an actuator movable with respect to the frame, and a plurality of kinematic links movably carried between the frame and the actuator and including a plurality of articulatable pry fingers.

Closure removal apparatus and method

An adjustable truss structure for a display is provided and includes a vertical truss member, a vertical channel having a vertical slot therein, the vertical channel being attached to the vertical truss member, and a horizontal rail having a horizontal slot. An anchor is attached to the horizontal rail. The anchor has a member rotatable to a first position where the member is insertable into the vertical slot and rotatable to a second position to engage with a surface of the vertical channel, thereby enabling the horizontal rail to be selectively moved up and down the vertical channel and locked into a selected fixed position with respect to the vertical channel. A support member has a channel with a U-shaped cross-section, the channel being hooked into the horizontal slot of the horizontal rail and being horizontally slidable in the horizontal slot.

A transportation collar that includes a ring having a central longitudinal axis and including: a base wall extending transversely and radially inwardly with respect to the axis, and an annular skirt extending in a first axial direction axially away from the base wall; and a peripheral impact barrier extending radially outwardly from the ring adapted to position both the transportation collar and a container carried by the collar relative to one or more additional adjacent transportation collars and one or more additional corresponding containers, wherein the peripheral impact barrier comprises a flange wall extending transversely with respect to the axis.

Transportation collar for shipping a container

A display unit comprising a plurality of vertical truss members anchored to a floor surface; a plurality of horizontal rails attached to the vertical truss members thereby forming a frame; a horizontal track anchored to a floor surface in front of the vertical truss members; a plurality of cantilever supports attached across the top of the frame, the cantilever supports each having a front portion providing an upper frame and lower frame; a plurality of upper rectangular panels mounted in a first row adjacent one another in the upper frames; a plurality of lower rectangular panels mounted in the lower frames adjacent one another a second row below the first row; first and second side panels anchored to the floor track and to a plurality of the horizontal rails; a plurality of cabinets located adjacent one another between the first and second side panels and anchored to the floor track and at least one of said horizontal rails; and a plurality of display panels disposed between the top surfaces of the cabinets and the lower edges of the lower rectangular panels.

A plurality of separate display modules are interchangeably installed on a shelf of a cooperating cabinet structure and arranged to provide concavely curved display panels mounting selected arrangements of illuminated sample chips, an interactive video display, and brochure receptacles. The structure is provided with an integral sprinkler water distribution system and may include a two-part chip mounting mechanism which facilitates changing out of sample chips.
