Abstract: An ergonomic inventory merchandizing device that includes a frame assembly having a first and second segment, a guide rod having a first and second end connected to the first and second segments respectively. A platform assembly having a deck and a support guide wherein the deck is construed to hold items thereon and is connected to the support guide. A linear bearing is located inside the support guide and receives the guide rod. A first end of a spring is connected to the first segment and a second end of the spring is connected to the platform assembly. The spring facilitates movement of the platform assembly along the guide rod during the loading and unloading of items on to the deck. The device may include gas filled shocks or another type of damping means for use in damping (slowing) the spring force as it is applied to the platform assembly. The device may also include wheels to allow easy transport of the device. The device may also include additional options such as a second deck or a second platform assembly.

Abstract: A dual ergonomic platform truck includes a frame assembly having a pair of first and second segments, a pair of guide rods each having a first end connected to one of the first segments and a second end connected to one of the second segments. A pair of platform assemblies are moveable along the pair of guide rods respectively. Each platform assembly includes a deck guide that receives the guide rod and a platform that is connected to the deck guide and is constructed to hold items. Each platform assembly also includes a first linear bearing that is received within the deck guide and a spring support bracket connected to the deck guide. A pair of springs are used to lift the pair of platform assemblies respectively. Each spring is connected to the first and second segments of the frame assembly. The platform truck may also include a self-aligning platform assembly. A handtruck includes a frame assembly, at pair of wheels, a guide rod, a platform assembly that is moveable along the guide rod, and a spring that provides a lifting force to the platform assembly. The handtruck may also include a latch system for use in preventing the platform assembly from moving along the guide rod and a hydraulic cylinder or frictional dampers for use in damping (slowing) the spring force as it is applied to the platform assembly.

Abstract: A device for and method of ergonomically removing parts from a parts bin, so that an operator does not have to unnecessarily bend to remove parts, using an open-ended container, a platform removably contained within the container, and a mechanism for lifting the platform which is, also, removably contained within the container. The mechanism for lifting the platform may be a manually operated or automatically operated scissor-type jack, hydraulic cylinder, or pneumatic cylinder. Also, the platform may be vertically adjusted by a spring whose spring constant is chosen to correspond to the weight of the parts within the bin.
