09895007 · 2018-02-20 · ·

A product management display system for merchandising product on a shelf includes using a trackless pusher mechanism that travels along a surface on which product is placed and one or more dividers for separating product into rows. The one or more dividers may be engaged to a front rail in two different conditions, locked and unlocked. In a locked condition, the relationship between the divider and the front rail resists alteration in any direction with respect to each other. In the unlocked condition, the dividers may be freely slid laterally along the front rail, while remaining perpendicular to the front rail. The one or more dividers may lock to the front rail through the use of corresponding teeth, resilient surfaces, a locking tab, a locking bar and/or a cam that may define a cam glide.

Extending and separating element for packaging

The present invention refers to an extending and separating element (1) to be used in packaging, particularly packaging for automotive parts, such as brake disks and/or drums, clutch disk, wheel hub, or any other parts of similar formats for automotive vehicles. The extending and separating element (1) is intended to be connectable between the base (B) and a cover (T) of packaging (E), so as to allow the appropriate placing of two parts (P) in the same packaging, and provide structural advantages for the aforesaid packaging (E) when assembled. The aforesaid extending and separating element (1) is formed of an intermediary disk (2), which separates a first ring projection (3) from a second ring projection (4), configured to receive the base (B) and the cover (T).

09650092 · 2017-05-16 · ·

A foldable parking rack for a bicycle includes a base and a limiting device. The base has a wheel receiving frame having two elongated limiting members and two abutting members concaved with two abutting recesses respectively. An accommodating space is formed between the two elongated limiting members and between the two abutting members. The limiting device has a swinging bar, a spring, and two limiting cones installed at an end of the swinging bar in a way that peaks of the two limiting cones are pointed towards each other. When the swinging bar is swung about a pivot, a body of the swinging bar is swung correspondingly to the accommodating space and the two abutting recesses in a way that the juncture of the peaks of the two limiting cones corresponds to the accommodating space and the two abutting recesses.

System for tire storage, retrieval, and inventory management
09600799 · 2017-03-21 ·

A storage array includes one or more tier including a plurality of roller pairs and at least one motor for spinning each roller pair. Plates are positioned between each roller pair. A horizontal nudger is positioned above each plate moves tires horizontally within the storage array. A tire is moved longitudinally within the storage array by causing a roller pair bearing the tire to spin followed by lifting the plate below the tire, thereby causing the tire to roll forward or backward within the storage array. A controller coupled to actuators for the plates and the horizontal nudger invokes movement of tires in and out of the storage array and within the storage array according to a storage, retrieval, and inventory management program. Tires may include electronically readable chips that are detected by sensors at a front edge of the storage array that are coupled to the controller.
