A polyurethane material, the coatings prepared therefrom, and methods of making the same are provided. A polyurethane material may be formed from components comprising at least one polyisocyanate, at least one active hydrogen-containing material, at least one material having at least one primary or secondary amino group and at least one hydroxyl group, and at least one acid functional material or anhydride having a functional group reactive with isocyanate or hydroxyl groups of other components from which the polyurethane material is formed. The polyurethane can provide improved physical properties, such as chip resistance, when incorporated into a coating composition.

A glass pack tilted against a support member is lifted by a sling assembly including a spreader bar, a pair of slings each having a half bridle and a protective shoe. Each of the slings includes (1) a first strap portion having its course along one side of the pack, over the shoe, and around the bottom edge of the pack and (2) a second strap portion secured to the end of the first strap portion. The free ends of the slings are secured to the spreader bar and spaced relative to one another to engage the pack at its 1/5 points. The half bridle has one end secured to the second strap portion with its second end engaging the adjacent side of the pack to prevent racking of the pack when handled by the sling assembly. The shoe has a generally U shaped configuration and a pair of spaced pins each rotatably mounted between opposed legs. The rotatably mounted pins facilitate movement of the first strap portion when the stack is lifted by the sling assembly from the tilted position to an upright position.

This invention relates to a front restraint device for article shipping bins. The articles, e. g. , automotive backlites are positioned on an edge and tilted to rest on an adjustable back support for packing stability. The articles are secured in the bin by a pneumatic front restraint device or a mechanical front restraint device incorporating features of the invention and mounted at the ingress end of the bin. The pneumatic front restraint device includes an inflatable member which when inflated moves a rigid pad into engagement with the articles. The mechanical front restraint device includes a rigid pad which is moved into engagement with the articles and biased toward the articles. The front restraint devices act on the articles to (1) secure the articles in the bin as a unitized pack; (2) limit oscillatory and lateral motions of the articles; and (3) dampen oscillatory and lateral forces acting on the articles during transit.

A process for forming a multilayer composite coating on a substrate is provided. The process includes forming an electrodeposition coating layer on the substrate by electrodeposition of a curable electrodepositable coating composition over at least a portion of the substrate. Optionally, the coated substrate is heated to a temperature and for a time sufficient to cure the electrodeposition coating layer. A basecoating layer is formed on the electrodeposition coating layer by depositing an aqueous curable basecoating composition directly onto at least a portion of the electrodeposition coating layer. Optionally, the basecoating layer is dehydrated. A top coating layer is formed on the basecoating layer by depositing a curable top coating composition which is substantially pigment-free directly onto at least a portion of the basecoating layer. The top coating layer, the basecoating layer, and, optionally, the electrodeposition coating layer are cured simultaneously.

A shipping rack of the type having a backwall secured to a base for supporting automotive windshields in a vertical position has spacer strips pivotally mounted on each of a pair of spaced bars secured to the rack. A spacer strip from each of the bars is positioned between adjacent windshields to separate the windshields loaded on the rack. Restraining facilities secure the windshields on the rack.

A nestable article shipping rack of the type having a backwall secured to a base includes back supports pivotally mounted on the backwall for movement into and out of the backwall, end restraints pivotally mounted on the base for movement into and out of the base, article edge supports slideably mounted on the base for movement toward and away from the backwall; and front standards pivotally mounted to the base for vertical and horizontal displacement.

End restraints for article shipping bins each include a rigid plate pivotally mounted on a carriage for movement toward and away from sides of the articles. Biasing facilities act on the carriage to (I) maintain the plate in contact with the sides of the articles; (2) limit longitudinal motion of the articles; and (3) dampen longitudinal forces acting on the articles during transit.

A container for shipping sheets is disclosed in which there is provided a horizontal base and a vertical backwall. The sheets are stacked on edge on the base and supported in position by the vertical backwall and a plurality of diagonal bands running from the top of the backwall to the front of the base. Methods of loading and unloading the container are also disclosed.

An article shipping bin has an adjustable back support that includes a pair of struts each pivotally mounted at a first end to a rigid plate and at their second end to the back wall of the bin. Adjusting the struts such that the distance between the first end of the struts is less than the distance between the second end of the struts provides (1) an angle of tilt to the articles for packing stability and to cancel small swaying forces acting on the articles during shipment thereof and (2) stability to the back support.
