A glass storage tool capable of preventing a glass from being broken is provided. The glass storage tool includes: a side wall that surrounds a glass; and a bottom plate that has a glass placement part on which the glass is placed and of which the glass placement part is held at a position higher than a lower end of the side wall. The glass placement part has a substantially circular opening and two or more annular support parts substantially concentrically arranged within the opening, an outermost one of the annular support parts is connected to a circumferential edge part of the opening by three or more beam parts extending in a radial direction, and the annular support parts are mutually connected by three or more beam parts extending in the radial direction.

A modular shipping container includes a layer of two side pieces positioned against sides of a component of several components with a same width. The side piece include pegs protruding from a top of each side piece and bottom openings in a bottom of each side piece sized and positioned to conform to the pegs. The container includes one or more end pieces on the same layer as the side pieces. Each end of the end piece is shaped to attach to an end of a side piece and is shaped to maintain a width between the side pieces. A length of an area formed by the side pieces and end pieces is sized to accommodate a maximum length of each component. The components have a height that is an integer number of standard units and a height of the side pieces matches an integral number of the standard units.

The invention relates to a container (1) made of plastic, comprising a rectangular base (2) and four lateral walls (3, 4). The lower face of the base (2) has a first stacking contour (20) on the outer edge of the base, and the lateral walls (3, 4) have a second stacking contour (30, 40) on the upper edge region of the lateral walls. When containers (1) are stacked one over the other, the first stacking contour (20) of an upper container (1) and the second stacking contour (30, 40) of a lower container (1) engage with each other in a centering manner. The upper edge region of at least two opposing lateral walls (3, 4) is reinforced by at least one respective profiled reinforcement section (5) attached to the remaining lateral wall (3, 4) in a form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner, and the profiled reinforcement section (5) or each profiled reinforcement section has at least one profiled section web (50) on the section upper face facing away from the container (1), said profiled section web running in the longitudinal direction of the profiled reinforcement section (5) and forming a sliding path (11) for another container (1) to be placed thereon.

A collapsible container includes a base having a pair of opposed first edges and a pair of opposed second edges. The base has a generally planar portion having a plurality of first drainage channels formed along the first edges, a plurality of second drainage channels formed along the second edges and a plurality of third drainage channels formed perpendicularly to the first drainage channels between the second drainage channels. The second drainage channels and the third drainage channels are in fluid communication with the first drainage channels. The first, second and third drainage channels form drag rails on an underside of the base that are the lowest surfaces of the base.

A dolly includes a deck having a support area. A plurality of wheels support the deck. A peripheral lip projects upward relative to the support area of the deck and extends at least partially about a periphery of the deck. The peripheral lip includes a ramped portion. A stack of bakery trays can be tipped and slid onto the dolly over the ramped portion of the peripheral lip.

A drink cup includes a body formed to include an interior region providing a fluid-holding reservoir and a brim. The brim is coupled to the body to form an opening into the interior region. The body includes a floor and a side wall that extends away from the floor. The drink cup further includes a body-strengthening system coupled to the body.

An exemplary robotic parking device of the present disclosure includes a number of stacks of containers. The stacks being positioned within a frame structure including uprights and a horizontal grid disposed above the stacks. The grid having substantially perpendicular rails on which load handling devices can run. Cars or vehicles are positioned in containers and are moved into and out of the stacks by the robotic handling devices running on the grid. The cars are put into the grid at entry points that may be positioned at points under the stacks.

A stackable merchandise tray is formed in a modular fashion with a rectangular base casing having a selected width and two identical insert units are mounted within the left and right sides of the base casing. The tray has two horizontal U-shaped upstanding mounting tabs located at the top edge of each of its two side panels and four complementary rectangular mounting openings formed adjacent to the lower lateral edges of its bottom panel. A reinforcing tab extend juxtapose to a side of each of the U-shaped upstanding mounting tabs to provide additional strength in resisting external lateral force exert on a plurality of the trays stacked together.

A vehicle for use with an object handling system, the object handling system including two substantially perpendicular sets of rails forming a first grid, a plurality of first uprights supporting the first grid, a plurality of containers arranged in stacks, each stack being located underneath the first grid, one or more robotic load handling devices configured to drive on top of the rails of the first grid, the one or more load handling devices including means for removing or replacing at least one container from the stacks. The vehicle includes two substantially perpendicular sets of rails forming a second grid substantially at the top of the vehicle above a storage space for carrying containers. The second grid interfaces with the first grid to allow the one or more load handling devices to drive from the rails of the first grid onto the rails of the second grid.

A plastic container (1) has a first base and four side walls (13, 14) projecting perpendicularly upwards with a circumferential edge (15) on the upper edge of said walls and a circumferential rib (16) of the lower end of said walls. According to the invention, the container (1) includes a second base (17), which is arranged on the underside of the first base and encloses same. A flat base surface (18, 20) of the second base (17) extends parallel to the first base and beyond the extent of the first base to the extent of the outer ends of the circumferential rib (16) on the side walls (13, 14). A frame (19) on the second base (17) having a circumferential wall (22) extends to the circumferential rib (16) and encloses the lateral edges of the first base. The plastic container (1) can be placed in high-bay warehouses having narrow, rail-like shelves and can be centered and reliably stacked by means of elongate centering elements on the edge (15) and recesses (26) in the second base (17).
