A cover is for a furniture item defining a recess at an upper end. The cover may include a cover layer extending over the furniture item and over the recess and having an inner surface adjacent the recess, and a bladder coupled to the inner surface of the cover layer adjacent the recess and configured to inflate. The bladder is for preventing depressions on an upper surface of the cover layer.

Cover for outdoor furniture

A composite cover for covering an item of furniture comprising a sheet of material laid on a support which is, one embodiment, is on an array of elastic cords and is in another embodiment is a fan array of panels.

A container for equipment, particularly basketballs, being an open box comprising a rigid frame covered by a fitted cloth cover. In one embodiment, the container is open. In another embodiment, the container has a lid that covers the top opening to the container and may be locked in that position. The frame has means for bolting the frame to a vertical wall.

Basketball storage system

A nozzle for accelerating filling a container with gas up to a required gas pressure including a barrel having venturi openings in a side of said barrel and a sleeve that, in one position uncovers the tunnels and in another position, closes off the openings. In another version the nozzle further includes a pressure chamber, having a wall coupled to the sleeve. In a contracted position the sleeve is moved by the wall of the chamber to close off the tunnels. In another position of the wall where the chamber is in an expanded position the tunnels are so as to increase the rate of flow.

Valve for speed filling a dunnage bag

A valve to be mounted on a dunnage bag having one collar mounted on the bag, a seal plate positionable adjacent to an interior end of the collar and a stem slideably mounted in the collar to position the seal plate in one position where air is prevented from passing through the collar and in another position where the seal plate may be locked permitting air to escape from the bag.

A composite dunnage bag being an elastic inner bag enclosed in a paper outer bag for insertion between stacks of cargo in transit. The mattress shape of the outer bag (when the dunnage bag is inflated) enables the bag to apply a footprint against the cargo walls that is greater than bags of the same length and height of the prior art this is an especially advantageous feeature when the spacing between stacks of cargo is greater than 12 inches.

Composite dunnage bag

A valve for an airtight flexible container such as a dunnage bag including a bowl with openings and extending through an opening in the container A flange around the rim of the bowl is heat welded to the container around the opening. One end of a housing is screwed into the rim of the bowl. A cap is removably press fit onto an opposite end of the housing. A spider extending across the housing supports a plug which is spring mounted on the spider and biased to close the lower end of the housing by compressed air in the container. Compressed gas inside the container is released by removing the cap and pressing on the plug to dislodge the plug from its seat on the one end of the housing or by unscrewing and entirely separating the housing from the bowl.

Valve for a dunnage bag

Dunnage bag

A principal advantage of this composite bag compared to the bags disclosed in the present art using solid ply is improved combination of strength and flexibility. A composite dunnage bag being an elastic inner bag enclosed in a mesh outer bag. The bag replaces the system of state of the art bags plus filler panels which are currently used when the space between pallets is greater than 12 inches. The combination mesh and plastic is sufficiently strong and flexible to permit the bag to apply an 80% footprint against the cargo walls.

Dunnage bag having a mesh ply

A valve for a dunnage bag including an inner part having a flange that is laminated to the inside surface of the bag and an outer part having a flange that is laminated to the outside surface of the bag providing that the bag can be inflated/deflated by air passing through both parts and a hole in the bag. The outerpart is a bowl which is stretched away from the bag when the bag is being inflated and which collapses against opening in the inner part to seal the bag and prevent air loss.

An apparatus and method for storing boxes of perishable products and providing that refrigerated air flows relatively uniformly through the stack. The apparatus is an elongated inflatable bag divided into sections by baffles, each section being inflatable independent of the other sections. The bag forms a roof over a corridor between two rows of stacks and a panel encloses one end of the corridor opposite the opposite end which is closed off by the cargo wall. Refrigerated air forced into the corridor at floor level at one end of the corridor is diverted through the stacks of boxes.
