A non-crosslinked polymeric heat shrink tubing including poly(ether-block-amide) (PEBA) and methods for making such non-crosslinked polymeric heat shrink tubing is provided. The non-crosslinked PEBA heat shrink tubing disclosed herein finds application, e.g., as a processing aid and final component in the manufacture of catheters and other medical devices.

A pipe supporting device is used to support an exposed pipe of a roof. The device includes a base having a flat bottom for resting on the roof, an upright member of a length which is connectable to the base and a receiving portion which is connectable to the upright member for receiving and supporting the exposed pipe. The length of the upright member can be altered by a user at a job site to thereby provide a device having a desired overall height. A upright steel reinforcing component is first installed on the roof and the pipe supporting device is then placed over the reinforcing component so that the component is received within a bottom opening provided on the base of the device. The reinforcing component provides additional structural support for the pipe supporting device in extreme environments, such as hurricane zones.

A pipe supporting device is shown of the type used to support an exposed pipe of a roof. The device includes a base having a flat bottom for resting on the roof, an upright member of a length which is connectable to the base and a receiving portion which is connectable to the upright member for receiving and supporting the exposed pipe. The length of the upright member can be altered by a user at a job site to thereby provide a device having a desired overall height for supporting an exposed.

A paperboard container is provided with a plurality of internal vertically extending triangular-shaped columns and on the top edges of the columns there is a design feature which allows the edges to be relieved thereby forming inclined edges to reduce package tearing or product damage. The inclined edge can be provided either when the container is erected by a machine or later by hand depending upon the selected design.

Container post for product protection

This invention relates to a pickup truck tailgate protector having a third tail light. The tailgate protector is made out of a plastic material shaped to fit over the top and top rear portion of the tailgate. The tailgate protector is attached to the tailgate by rivets. The plastic protects the metal and paint on the top portion of the tailgate from damage. The plastic tailgate protector has a housing in it for a third tail light in the center of its length. The third tail light provides extra safety for the vehicle, as studies have shown that the third tail light reduces traffic accidents.

A beverage truck having unique unloading and loading apparatus. The apparatus, which may be mounted to an existing beverage truck, or built into one as original equipment, has a framework at the front and back of the truck body which supports a track that spans the length of the body roof along its longitudinal center line. A trolley is carried on the track and moved by a powered chain drive from one end of the body to the other. Mounted to the trolley is a pivoting telescoping arm assembly that carries at the end of the arm a fork lift assembly. By operating simple controls, the user can move the trolley, extend the arm, raise, lower, rotate and tilt the forks to cause the forks to enter into the cargo area of the body, under the roof, to unload cargo from the truck and place it, e.g., on a loading dock or on the ground.

A sawhorse frame is provided for use with a separate work-supporting top member that may be disposable. The frame is made with the paired legs at each end hinged together near their tops, and with pincer-like clamping jaws formed near the hinge points so that the work-supporting top member is very forcefully clamped in place. Force for this clamping is derived from the force with which the feet of the sawhorse are pressed against the floor, acting through a large mechanical advantage that arises from the foot-to-hinge distance's greatly exceeding the clamping-jaw-to-hinge distance. When the sawhorse frame is not in use, the same hinge arrangement facilitates folding the bottoms of the legs together to a more compact configuration for storage. Cross members that connect together the paired legs at the remote ends of the sawhorse are dimensioned and disposed to avoid their touching the work-supporting top member, so that the latter may serve even though it be a warped or otherwise irregular piece of lumber or other stock.
