摘要:
There are disclosed improved modulat heat sinks for use in packages for protecting thermolabile goods, having a thermosensitive temperature, from high ambient shipping temperatures in excess of the thermosensitive temperatures. One of the modular heat sinks is adapted to be configured to a variety of box sizes and may be used in either of two configurations, flat or folded. The dimensions of the heat sink and the fold line are correlated to a plurality of box sizes to enable the use of a single size heat sink in a plurality of carton sizes, and for a plurality of degree day temperature protection requirements. A second heat sink having a recessed wall defined therein for protecting a thermosensitive area of the thermosensitive goods is also disclosed. This second heat sink may be combined with the foldable modular heat sink for certain boxes of said plurality of boxes. The heat sinks include a salt hydrate, a hydrophilic suspension agent and from 1% to 10% of the same salt dispersed throughout said salt hydrate. In some of the preferred embodiments of the invention, the heat sinks are held in place by foamed in place insulation, which also surrounds the thermolabile goods and the heat sinks.

There is disclosed an improved heat sink composition and a method for preparing said composition to protect thermolabile goods from degradation or destruction from high temperatures. A representative composition includes sodium sulfate, sodium sulfate decahydrate (also known as Glauber's salt) and fumed silcon dioxide, a hydrophilic suspension agent which maintains the excess anhydrous sodium sulfate in uniform suspension when the composition is in a liquid state. In a preferred embodiment, the salt prior to use is dissolved in water, and driven to saturation, the hydrophilic agent is added, and the suspension driven to an over saturated state by the additional of from 1 to 30% anhydrous salt. The composition is then sealed in a plastic container of the desired shape to form an improved heat sink. The goods to be protected are packaged with the heat sink, whose salt hydrate has a melting point about 3.degree. C. to about 5.degree. C. lower than the thermosensitive temperature of the goods to protect them when the temperature of the environment exceeds the temperature of the goods. In the preferred embodiment, the goods and heat sink are surrounded with a layer of insulation which is adjacent to the outside container, which may be made of cardboard, paper, plastic and/or wood.

A knockdown disposable vehicle ramp for shipment of vehicles securely fastened to the floor of container to elevate and support one end of a wheeled vehicle in nesting alignment with another wheeled vehicle whereby a series of in-line vehicles may be positioned within a single container for shipment with each of the disposable ramps being secured in position during vehicle loading. Each of the disposable ramps is constructed of corrugated fiberboard and positioned to support the loads to which the ramp may be subjected with each ramp being provided with an inclined plane on which the wheel of a vehicle may be elevated for positioning to a wheel well on the ramp for cooperatively supporting a wheel mounted on the vehicle. Ramp and wheel well reinforcing means are positioned to support loads to which the ramp is subjected. A wheel-mounted harness securely retains the vehicle-mounted wheel on the ramp wheel well limiting vehicle displacement.

Fixtures supportable in a containerized unit for compartmentalizing the container into predetermined areas for storage and shipment of non-stackable articles at one or more levels within the container. A series of vertical support hangers are releasably connected to a longitudinally-extending horizontal top ledge within the container at opposite sides at predetermined spaced longitudinal intervals such that all the vertical load is supported by the ledge. Each of the vertical support hangers is provided with a releasable ledge-engaging C-clamp for gripping the ledge and a series of vertically-spaced pairs of slots for supporting horizontal support beams at predetermined levels by opposite vertical support hangers. Beam supporting connectors are positioned to support planar decking on the horizontal support beams at predetermined levels for compartmentalizing the interior of the container depending upon the article to be stored and shipped. Additional vertical hangers are placed over a link member of the corner support to prevent the link member from coming off the top rail and also to provide extra support for cargo in conjunction with support rails and the opposite side vertical hanger. The shape and cross-section of the corner supports are such that only limited column support can be obtained from the corner support, hence, the additional vertical hangers at the beginning and the end of the container. The various fixtures: corner support members, vertical support hangers, horizontal support beams and planar decking, may be readily disassembled and repeatedly reusable permitting container use devoid of any fixtures.

The specification discloses a new articulated car for transporting intermodal containers over a railroad. A novel bogey configuration having large sliding bearing assemblies is used to suspend the load below the axles of the bogies. Draft and buff forces are transmitted through the axles and side rails of the bogey rather than through the articulated coupling, thereby relieving stress on the coupling. The design makes it possible to lower the sills and the center of gravity by passing the load bearing members below the axles of the bogey.

A harness for securing a vehicle wheel to a support structure, and a method for mounting a harness on a wheel. The harness comprises loop, hook and lashing straps having connected first ends, and a pair of cross straps extending between the loop and hook straps. To mount the harness on a wheel, the cross straps are placed on a vertically extending surface thereof, the hook strap is wrapped across that vertically extending surface and along an inside face of the wheel, and the loop strap is wrapped over a top surface thereof and along the inside face of the wheel. The hook strap is slipped through a loop on the loop strap, wrapped around the lashing strap, and connected to the loop strap. The lashing strap is connected to the support structure to secure the harness and the wheel thereto.

A sterility indicator of the type used in hospitals and laboratories. The device uses a cylindrical ampule holder with an ampule containing nutrient media and spore strip disposed therein. One or more gas pervious, liquid impervious tortuous paths lie between the interior and exterior of the ampule holder. Fracturing of the ampule is by the combination of a rotation and rotation prevention means with respect to the cylindrical axis.
