WHEELED FOLDING TRAY CART WITH SAFETY DEVICE AND METHOD
20220119024 · 2022-04-21 ·

The invention is a wheeled folding tray cart and method. The wheeled folding tray cart comprises a collapsible wheeled framework pivotally supporting a set of split shelves, each split shelf comprises a pair of half shelves. The wheeled folding tray cart moves between an open operating position wherein the set of split shelves are held in spaced-apart, stacked, horizontal orientation within the collapsible wheeled framework and a closed storage position wherein the collapsible wheeled framework is collapsed in manner to move each half shelf pair into an accordion-like, inverted “V”-shaped or accordion like configuration. An extension coiled spring attached to the collapsible wheeled framework assists in the movement of the wheeled folding tray cart between open operating position and the closed storage position. A sheath encloses at least a portion of the spring to provide resistance to the spring's movement to limit potential operator exposure to pinch injuries.

Roll container and logistics system comprising the same

A novel logistics system is disclosed involving a roll container (100) with a base (110) and two elongated supports (120) that are supported by the base (110). The supports each have a plurality of individual slots (122) provided in a spaced apart configuration along the supports (120) for receiving a tab (133, 134) of a respective plurality of shelves (130) in a spaced apart configuration. The roll container may further include a folding mechanism between the base and the supports for turning the supports between an operational state and a folded state. In the operational state of the roll container the supports extend transversally in respect to the base. In the folded state of the roll container the supports extend parallel to the base.

Collapsible carts

A collapsible cart may include a collapsible frame, a foldable shelf, and an interior support column. The collapsible frame includes a first frame portion and a second frame portion. The frame is configured to move between an open configuration and a collapsed configuration by relative translation between the first frame portion and the second frame portion. The foldable shelf extends between the first frame portion and the second frame portion. The foldable shelf is configured to fold to allow the frame to move from the open configuration to the collapsed configuration. The column transversely extends through a column slot defined by the foldable shelf. The cart further includes at least one column brace slidably coupling the frame to the column. The cart further includes at least one shelf brace slidably coupling the foldable shelf to the column.

A COUPLING SYSTEM
20220074440 · 2022-03-10 · ·

A system for coupling of units on a substantially rectangular load carrier with four columns arranged in its corners. The system comprises: a unit in the form of a column with a rectangular profile with four side faces; a unit in the form of an anchoring piece (3) with a substantially rectangular cross section with four side faces. The anchoring piece (3) is to be arranged on a corner of the load carrier. The anchoring piece (3) and the column (2) are mutually adapted, so that the column (2) and the anchoring piece (3) can be inserted in a mutually sliding engagement along their longitudinal axes. The anchoring piece (3) and the column comprise side faces with locking parts in the form of at least one cam (4, 5) or an opening (7, 8) complementary thereto, executed in a side face on the column (2) and a side face on the anchoring piece (3), respectively, which opening (7, 8) and cam (4, 5) have mutually adapted locations, so that the opening (7, 8) and cam (4, 5) engage, when the column (2) and the anchoring piece (3) are inserted into each other.

Powered Lifting Hand Truck Apparatus and System

A powered lift hand truck with a corresponding method of operation and control. The apparatus includes a powered lift hand truck configured to lift a load from a lowered to a raised position (and vice versa). The system uses the rotational speed to measure linear speed and enforce a consistent speed of the load. The system is programmed to lift/lower loads at the same speed, regardless of load overall weight. If, for example, the load is heavy, the system determines that the speed is below a predetermined threshold and increases the power so as to increase speed.
