DETACHABLY SECURABLE CONTAINER ASSEMBLY INCLUDING A BASE SUPPORT MEMBER FOR A UNIT LOAD DEVICE
A container assembly configured for loading into/onto a Unit Load Device (ULD) generally includes a first container, second container, and a base support member having a wedge abutment assembly. Rearward sides of the first and second containers include a securing catchment assembly for drawing, mating, and securing the rearward sides of the first and second containers to one another. Frontward sides of the first and second containers each include a plurality of female/male fastening assemblies that complementarily mate and draw the frontward sides of the first and second containers toward one another. During loading, an inwardly angled surface of the wedge abutment member causes the second container to be directed toward the first container.
Shipping Containers
Described herein are collapsible containers for transportation of cargo, and methods of using them. The containers may include textured bottom surfaces to facilitate positive engagement with a conveyor. In some embodiments, the containers include secure locking mechanisms that prevent inadvertent unlocking while also permitting one-handed operation. In some embodiments, the containers include adapters to facilitate discharge of liquid cargo.
INDUSTRIAL CONSUMABLES STORAGE AND DETECTION STAND AND METHOD
This invention relates generally to a stand for holding industrial consumables, and more specifically to a stand with sensors for detecting the presence or absence of industrial consumables fitted with identification tags and for wirelessly transmitting that information to a computer. Such a stand is used in such industries as construction and mining. In mining, the stand is for holding mining consumables, and more specifically is a stand comprising a wireless transmitter and one or more radio-frequency identification (RFID) readers capable of detecting mining consumables with RFID tags placed on the stand. The invention also relates to a method of monitoring industrial consumables using a stand with a wireless transmitter and at least one RFID reader wherein the industrial consumables have RFID tags, and the presence or absence of industrial consumables is relayed to a computer.

Display assemblies with incorporated lift boxes
Display assemblies with an incorporated lift box are disclosed, along with related systems and methods. The display assembly includes a common structure including and/or forming the lift box in a base thereof. An electronic display subassembly is connected to the common structure and includes a cover layer and an electronic display layer. Two such display assemblies may be arranged at a common surface such that an open end of the lift boxes faces in an at least substantially same direction. Forks of a forklift or pallet jack may be moved into the lift boxes for transporting the display assemblies together.
