A suspension package includes a base and first and second end panels. A hammock is stretched between the end panels, each of which is held in an operational position by a triangulating brace which extends from each end panel to the base and is removably secured to the base. Side panels are connected to the base to fold between a coplanar position and an operational position. When the side panels are in the coplanar position, the side panels and the base can be folded along a center fold to reduc...

A suspension package includes a frame having first and second opposed ends. Two C-shaped product restraints are mounted to pivotable flaps at respective ends of the frame. The product restraints extend around three sides of a product being packaged, and outward rotation of the flaps shortens the effective length of the product restraints, thereby tensioning the product restraints and suspending the product in place in the frame. A simple mechanism is provided for allowing a user to adjust the ef...

A rigidified suspension is provided for a load-carrying vehicle, such as a trailer for a dual use, belly-dumping and end-dumping trailer, of the type having a frame with left and right side beams connected together and to which frame wheels are mounted through a suspension. The rigidified suspension includes left and right suspension rails, which are provided having a forward end and a rearward end and are horizontally disposed inward from and below the left and right side beams of the frame. A ...

Inherently tacky infusible pressure-sensitive adhesive microspheres prepared by suspension polymerization of at least one water insoluble alkyl acrylate ester, the improvement which comprises conducting the polymerization in the presence of a buffer provided in an amount sufficient to maintain pH between 6 to 9.5 and in the presence of a surfactant to stabilize the product.

A suspension member for a bicycle is set forth which includes a strut telescopically received into a cylinder. A head assembly extends from the cylinder through a piston defined at the end of the strut and into the strut. Mounted to the assembly is a valve member which forms between it and the piston a volume which increases and decreases as the suspension telescopes. In response to a bump, the suspension collapses against a bias. The bias urges the member to rebound. When rebounding the valve m...

In a suspension arm formed by press working a plate-shaped member, in a case in which, while a vehicle is traveling, a load is inputted to the suspension arm in a direction intersecting a direction in which the suspension arm swings, at least a region at which a maximum stress is generated is a non-end portion of the plate-shaped member. Accordingly, high rigidity can be ensured without an increase in weight.

A suspension damper includes an integral one-piece reservoir tube arrangement which provides a self-centering feature for the internal components of the damper, supports the loading on those internal components for proper functioning of the twin-tube type damper and applies for a preload force through the internal components.

A pair of combined accumulator and control devices for interconnected suspension units having a simplified construction and wherein unequal displacement of fluid from the associated suspension units will cause an increase in the effective damping of the suspension unit having the greatest fluid displacement.

A suspension package includes upper and lower covers. The covers include oval exterior walls that define oval product-receiving wells. Oval mounting rings are mounted to the covers to support resilient films over the wells. The covers define generally rectangular inner exterior walls that support hinges along a hinge axis. By combining rectangular covers adjacent to hinges with oval covers spaced from the hinges, material costs are reduced and fabrication is simplified.

A double thickness improved carton suspension including a die-cut hinged section formed in a panel of the carton with a flap hingedly attached along one edge of the carton having a die-cut tab connected along its outer edge so that when the flap is folded underneath and in overlapping relationship with the carton panel the tab and the die-cut section may be moved together into an upright position normal to the plane of the carton panel so that the carton may be suspended through the use of two c...
