20090057320 | CRATE WITH COLLAPSIBLE WALL - A crate, such as for transporting egg cartons or other items, includes a base, opposed side walls and a rear wall extending upward from the base. A front wall opposite the rear wall is selectably moveable between a closed position and a retracted, open position. In the retracted position, access to the interior of the crate is provided. In one embodiment, the front wall includes a plurality of pivotably connected sections, such that the front wall can be retracted to provide access to the interior. A latch selectively prevents movement of the front wall to the retracted position. | 03-05-2009 |
20090085315 | LINKABLE DOLLY - A dolly according includes a deck and a plurality of casters extending downward below the deck. A connector is pivotably connected to the deck and is selectively pivotable between a retracted position and a connecting position. The deck also includes a receiver for receiving the connector of a similar dolly adjacent thereto to connect the dolly to the similar dolly. | 04-02-2009 |
20090127150 | TRANSPORT AND DISPLAY PACKAGING ASSEMBLY - A packaging assembly for transporting, storing and displaying containers includes a merchandising feature that facilitates moving containers toward a display opening of the tray as the front container is removed by a customer. | 05-21-2009 |
20090127809 | ROLL OUT CART - A roll-out cart includes a bottom wall having front, rear and side walls extending upwardly to define an upper interior. The rear wall is taller than the front wall and each of the side walls has an upper edge angled downwardly from the rear wall to the front wall. At least one support extends upwardly and rearwardly from an upper end of the rear wall to a handle. A base portion extending downwardly from the bottom wall includes a plurality of base walls including side portions each having corrugated portions below the side walls. | 05-21-2009 |
20090134157 | CRATE WITH COLLAPSIBLE WALL - A crate, such as for transporting egg cartons or other items, includes a base, opposed side walls and a rear wall extending upward from the base. A front wall opposite the rear wall is selectably moveable between a closed position and a retracted, open position. In the retracted position, access to the interior of the crate is provided. The front wall includes an upper section pivotable relative to a lower section. At least one of the adjacent edges of the upper section and the lower section is contoured away from the other when the upper section is in the closed position. The contoured edge provides improved access to the interior of the container when the upper section is in the retracted position. | 05-28-2009 |
20100043676 | PALLET WITH ALIGNMENT FEATURES - A pallet according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a deck and a plurality of columns extending downward from the deck. In order to increase the stability of the pallet on a fork, at least one alignment feature protrudes downward from the deck between the pair of columns. The alignment feature extends downwardly substantially less than the columns, such that the alignment feature does not contact the floor and does not significantly increase the weight of the pallet. In another feature of the present invention, preformed foam inserts are inserted into the cavities of the columns and/or the alignment features. | 02-25-2010 |
20100051497 | UNIVERSAL TOTE - A tote includes at least a first structural component defining a first portion of a container and a second structural component defining a second portion of the container where the first and second structural components cooperate to define an internal cavity to receive at least one product. The second structural component comprises a foldable component that can be selectively attached and detached from the first structural component for shipping, stacking, or nesting purposes as needed. | 03-04-2010 |
20100074721 | DISPLAY DOLLY - A display dolly is formed from an upper shell and a lower shell that are thermoformed from first and second sheets of material. The upper and lower shells are formed and attached to each other using a twin-sheet thermoforming process that provides a hollow internal cavity between the shells. The upper shell provides an upper surface to support a display. The lower shell includes wheel mount interfaces to receive wheels such that the display can be moved to a desired location. In one example, the upper shell includes a first plurality of corrugations and the lower shell includes a second plurality of corrugations that extend in a different direction than that of the first plurality of corrugations. | 03-25-2010 |
