A multipurpose relocatable structure includes a floor system, a framework secured to the floor system, and walls coupled to the framework. The walls include a number of panels that are secured along adjacent vertical edges. The multipurpose relocatable structure may include a preconfigured interior, one or more doors having an emergency escape hatch, a protected electrical connector, an environmental control system that is configurable between operational and transport configurations, and lifting corners having securement apertures.

The present invention discloses a novel apparatus and way for securing components of a shipping container. A locking mechanism is provided having a pin, spur gear and main gear coupled together and controlled by a handle such that rotation of the handle causes rotation of the gears and translation of a locking pin used to secure adjacent components of the container.

Adjustable storage systems, adjustable storage receptacles, and methods of manufacturing and using the same are disclosed. In one aspect, an adjustable storage system includes a plurality of adjustable storage receptacles, each of which may include a housing, an opening/closing mechanism, and an expansion mechanism. The expansion mechanism may be operable to increase or decrease an interior storage volume of the associated storage receptacle, enabling greater flexibility in storing objects of different shapes and sizes, relative to a fixed-size or fixed-geometry storage receptacle. In additional aspects, a method of using an adjustable storage receptacle and a method of using an adjustable storage system are provided, and further, a method of manufacturing an adjustable storage receptacle and a method of manufacturing an adjustable storage system are provided.

A collapsible intermodal container includes first and second opposing side walls, the first side wall extending substantially parallel to the second side wall. Each of the first and second side walls having a lower end portion and an upper end portion. An upper wall is hingedly attached to the upper end portion of the first side wall, and a lower wall is hingedly attached to the lower end portion of the second side wall. In an erected configuration of the container, the upper wall extends from the upper end portion of the first side wall to the upper end portion of the second side wall, and the lower wall extends from the lower end portion of the second side wall to the lower end portion of the first side wall, such that the first and second side walls are spaced apart by a first distance to define an interior for storing goods. In a collapsed configuration of the container, the upper wall extends downwardly from the upper end portion of the first side wall to the lower end portion of the first side wall, and the lower wall extends upwardly from the lower end portion of the second side wall to the upper end portion of the second side wall.

The invention relates to a concealed pivot hinge assembly [10] suitable for hingedly mounting a door [12] to a frame, particularly, although not exclusively, for connecting doors of storage, shipping and cargo containers, such as those which may be used on ships, rail lines and trucks, to a container in order to protect against theft. The concealed pivot hinge assembly [10] is characterised therein that it comprises a continuous, elongate hinge extending between and pivotably secured at two opposing ends thereof to the frame such that the hinge assembly [10] also constitutes a door post about which the door [12] is swiveled. The hinge assembly [10] comprises an internal axle shaft [18] which is secured at two opposing ends thereof to the frame; and an external load-bearing shaft [20] which extends coaxially with the internal shaft [18] and is pivotally secured at two opposing ends thereof to the frame such that the external shaft [20] is pivotable relative to the internal shaft [18], the arrangement being such that the door [12] is secured to the external shaft [20] so that pivoting of the external shaft [20] swivels the door [12] between a closed and an open position. The invention extends to a door [12] and a container [44] including such a concealed hinge assembly [10]. The invention also includes a remotely operable locking mechanism [56] for use in connection with such doors [12].

A transportable refrigerated container has an interior chamber sub-divided into separate compartments by movable partitions that allow free air circulation to maintain the compartments at the same temperature and a plurality of security doors in at least one of the sides of the container, each door affording access only to a selected respective compartment or group of compartments. A method of distributing perishable goods from a supply depot to a plurality of customers utilizes such a container. At the supply depot, goods for different customers are loaded into separate compartments and the container is then transported to a location convenient to all the customers. There, delivery drivers who can each only open a door leading to a compartment containing goods intended for a specific customer, transfer the goods from the compartment onto a smaller vehicle and deliver them to their respective customer.

A construction element includes a first wall, and a second wall. The walls are arranged at a distance from one another, forming a space wherein at least one sheet component is arranged, and where the sheet component is arranged to the first wall and to the second wall, and where concrete is arranged in the space between the first wall, the second wall, and the sheet component.

A safety door latch system is presented for a grain bin having a door frame. An inner door is connected to the door frame that is configured to move between an open position and a closed position. An outer door is connected to the door frame and is configured to move between an open position and a closed position. A safety mechanism is connected to the door frame and is configured to move between an open position and a closed position. When the inner door frame is moved to a closed position, a portion of the inner door engages the safety mechanism thereby causing the safety mechanism to move to the closed position. When the safety mechanism is in the closed position, the outer door may be latched to the safety mechanism. When the safety mechanism is in the open position, the outer door cannot latch to the safety mechanism.

A container chassis coupling device includes a first mounting bracket that has a first locking bar securing element that is configured to secure the first mounting bracket to a first locking bar on a container, and a second mounting bracket that is slidably coupled to the first mounting bracket and that includes a second locking bar securing element that is configured to secure the second mounting bracket to a second locking bar on the container. The container chassis coupling device prevents the first locking bar and the second locking bar from being oriented from a locked orientation to an unlocked orientation. The container chassis coupling device also includes a node mounting device that is coupled to the first mounting bracket or the second mounting bracket and that is configured to couple a node chassis of a node device to the container chassis coupling device.
