A rotor securing jig secures a rotor extending along an axis inside a container. The rotor securing jig includes a first member that is able to be secured to a first end portion of the rotor, which is an end portion of the rotor on a first side in an axial direction, a second member that is provided relatively movable in the axial direction with respect to the first member, and a third member that is secured to the container, has a first abutting surface facing a second side in the axial direction, which is an opposite side to the first side, and abutting the first member, and has a second abutting surface facing the first side and abutting the second member.

A double door temporary bulkhead locking member comprising a single or joined rigid material with the angle apex pointing inward. The temporary bulkhead is wedged across the width of the inside opening of a container. When the flowable product is installed into the container the pressure on the bulkhead is transferred to the outer edges sealing the product into the container. The temporary bulkhead material has a series of creases, notches, slots and shapes that are folded and locked into the proprietary shape. A single door bulkhead locking member comprising a single or joined rigid material as a straight plain panel to fit into the single doorway of a shipping container. The temporary bulkhead is wedged across the width of the inside opening of a container when one door is closed and the other open. When the flowable product is installed into the container the pressure on the bulkhead is transferred to the outer edges sealing the product into the container. The temporary bulkhead material has a series of creases, notches, slots and shapes that are folded and locked into the proprietary shape.

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.

The invention relates to a container storage system (1) for transporting and/or for securing cargo in a container (3), and/or for partitioning the container (3), wherein the container (3) comprises side walls made of trapezoidal sheets having vertical creases (4), characterized in that the container storage system (1) comprises: At least two lateral supports (5a, b), which can be arranged vertically in at least two opposite creases (4) of at least two opposite side walls of the container (3). The supports (5a, b) each have at least one recess (13) that can be oriented to the inner chamber of the container (3) for receiving a cross bar (7). In the recess (13), at least one bearing element (11) for supporting the cross bar (7) is provided. At least one cross bar (7) is provided, which can be inserted in the at least two recesses (13) in the at least two supports (5a, b), respectively, and when installed, connects the two supports (5a, b) with one another, wherein the container storage system (1) can be assembled and dismantled without tools.

A rear seat latch release device is easily installed to a portion of a rear seat holding mechanism so the rear seat can be released and more effectively folded down. The rear seat latch release device is specifically designed to surround the factory latch, and allow a pull strap to be added, which can more easily and effectively operate the rear seat latch. Components of the rear seat latch release device are designed to easily cooperate with several variations in the factory latch, thereby allowing installation in many different situations.

An accessory mounting system is easily coupled to an inner portion of a pick-up bed, thus allowing a user to easily mount and hold equipment. The mounting system includes a number of panels which can be mounted to existing structures within the pick-up box, and which have a pattern of openings to accommodate straps, brackets, tie-downs, and other holding mechanisms.

A system and method for cultivating plants is described. The system may include a tower structure having a vertical series of vessels for holding a netted pot or other container. The system may have a pressurized irrigation system that is in fluid communication with each vessel. The system may further include lamps to provide an adequate light source. The system may also include sensors, monitors and controls to establish and maintain environmental conditions suitable for proper plant growth. The system may further be implemented as a scalable system in which multiple tower structures may be installed into a scaffold system. Sets of towers may be slidably affixed to a scaffold such that the towers may be slid along a track thereby creating easy access to the plants, vessels, lights and the irrigation system. The system may be expanded to include multiple scaffolds affixed to a skeletal frame or compartment interior.

The present disclosure provides several novel improvements to freight storage and transportation services. In one detailed though non-limiting aspect, methods and means for safely and efficiently adjusting the interior volume space of an otherwise fixed-volume storage and transportation container are provided.

A reusable container for transporting, inspecting, and/or storing a fuel cell or other item may include a crate or box lined with plurality of cushioning inserts to protect a fuel cell placed within the container, and a plurality of straps that extend inwardly from walls of the container and couplable to the fuel cell. The straps are tensionable to suspend at least a portion of the weight of the fuel cell from the walls of the container while a portion of the fuel cell may rest on top of cushioning inserts at the floor of the container.

The present invention is directed to an air cargo container formed from a plurality of fiber-reinforced (e.g., carbon fiber) composite panels. The use of fiber reinforcement provides for an increased strength-to-weight ratio as compared to existing air cargo containers. Furthermore, the present invention also includes air cargo containers having convex side panels, which decreases the chance of damage to the container or to its contents in the event of an impact. The air cargo container is collapsible, with panels able to be stacked for more efficient storage.
