Cargo device
A cargo device includes a cargo storage compartment defining a cavity for receiving cargo therein, a cassette mounted to the cargo storage compartment by a lifting feature, the cassette being movable via the lifting feature between a locked position engaging a track and an unlocked position disengaged from the track, and a latch mechanism operably connected to the cassette. The latch mechanism is movable between an engaged state securing the cargo storage compartment within a vehicle cargo space, and a disengaged state released from the vehicle cargo space. Upon the latch mechanism being in the engaged state, the lifting feature is actuated to move the cassette into the locked position.
REFUSE CARTS WITH RETENTION CORRAL
Refuse carts and refuse cart retention systems for use in retaining refuse carts inside a corral and transporting or emptying the carts when needed. The refuse cart retention system generally includes a retention corral and at least one large refuse cart and/or at least one small refuse cart. Various mechanisms for retaining refuse carts in the retention corral include retention structures to receive a segment of a refuse cart frame, and frame protrusions connected to the retention corral that can be placed in tight contact with a cutout in the sides of the refuse carts having a geometry substantially identical to that of the frame protrusions.
WHEELED PLATFORM AND WHEELED PLATFORM SYSTEM
The wheeled platform of the present disclosure includes a base on which an object is placed; wheels attached to the base; a lock device having a latch that is lockable to a striker that is fixed; a guide member configured to guide the striker to a position where the striker is lockable to the latch; and a wheeled platform side terminal contactable with a fixed side terminal disposed on a member to which the striker is fixed, the wheeled platform side terminal being disposed at a position where the wheeled platform side terminal is contactable with the fixed side terminal when the latch locks the striker. The wheeled platform is configured such that the guide member comes in contact with the striker before the wheeled platform side terminal comes in contact with the fixed side terminal.
