20120152799 | COLLAPSIBLE PLASTIC CONTAINER - A collapsible container has end and side wall panels, and a gate that are assembled onto a pallet base and supported by flanges extending up from a planer base. Either the side or the end walls each have a hinge structure between panels of the walls. The hinge structure permits inward folding of the hinged panels so that they can lay flat, one upon the other, in a folded or collapsed position with the non-hinged panels also laying flat. The end and side walls can be removed from their respective bases and multiple ones of the folded wall configurations can fit within an assembled container. As a result, substantially the entire volume of the assembled container can be filled with the folded wall configurations of other containers for return shipment. This enables a highly efficient return shipment ratio of the containers. | 06-21-2012 |

20090056400 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING STEPPED HOLLOW SHAFTS OR STEPPED CYLINDRICAL HOLLOW MEMBERS BY TRANSVERSE ROLLING - The invention relates to a method and a device for transversely rolling stepped hollow shafts or cylindrical hollow parts from a pipe. The invention achieves the object of rolling stepped hollow shafts of the most varied dimensions and also of greater lengths in a flexible manner from a pipe using a small number of simple tools. In accordance with the invention, the object is achieved by virtue of the fact that rolling tools which can be radially advanced and are disposed in a planet-like manner around the workpiece are used to roll the contour of the transition from a central diameter in one portion of the workpiece to the central diameter in the adjacent portion by means of co-ordinated control of the radial advance of the rolling tools and the axial feed of the workpiece, and a mandrel head having an outer diameter which is adapted to the smallest inner diameter of the two portions is disposed underneath the rolling tools. | 03-05-2009 |
