Abstract:
A hamper has a fabric bag, and a supporting frame assembly that has a foldable wall assembly, a base and a top frame. The foldable wall assembly has a rear frame, a left frame a right frame. The base has a rear side that is pivotally connected with the bottom side of the rear frame, with the left and right sides of the base removably coupled to the bottom sides of the left frame and the right frame, respectively. The top frame has a rear side that is removably coupled to the top side of the rear frame, with the left and right sides of the top frame removably coupled to the top sides of the left frame and the right frame, respectively. The fabric bag has four side walls, each side wall having a lip extending around the upper edge of each side wall, and four vertical corner sleeve pockets.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for foldable containers for manual and robotic use. In one embodiment, an example foldable container may include a first container wall, a second container wall configured to rotate outwards in a first direction with respect to the first container wall, and a bottom container platform configured to rotate outwards in a second direction with respect to the first container wall. The bottom container platform may include an automatic locking mechanism configured to engage with the second container wall when the foldable container is in an unfolded position, where the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. Some embodiments may include a number of wheels. The foldable container may be configured to be transported using (i) the plurality of wheels via manual pushing, and (ii) robotic manipulation to lift and move the foldable container.

Abstract:
A device for accommodating objects, in particular for use in an airplane, comprises at least one panel. The panel has at least one outer edge which is provided with a rim in order to form a shock-absorbing edge. The rim comprises plastic that is integrally molded onto the outer edge of the panel. The device can be an airplane trolley, folding trolley, container or galley.
Abstract:
The present invention is aimed at a storage trolley body for aircraft which incorporates refrigeration means storing the cold source and allowing the distribution thereof in a uniform manner to all the parts inside the trolley. The proposed solution provides additional advantages such as the increase of the structural rigidity of the trolley body incorporating these refrigeration means.
Abstract:
A utility truck with arched reinforcing rods incorporated into the base of a plastic truck during molding. The reinforcing rods are held in place in a mold at a predetermined distance above the mold's inner surface by spacers attached to the ends of the rods. Plastic is molded around the rods, with more plastic provided below the rods than above them, so that, when the plastic truck is removed from the mold and allowed to cool, the plastic will contract to a greater extent than the metal rods, causing the base and the reinforcing rods to bow upward, creating a convex arch in the truck's base. The arch provides an inherently strong, bridge-type structure that substantially strengthens the load-bearing capability of the truck, yet requires less reinforcing material than conventional supplemental chassis structures. In another embodiment, caster base mounts are also molded into the bottom of the truck, providing a utility truck with a unitary chassis structure.
Abstract:
A cart and drawer assembly (20, 120) comprising a pair of panels (22) each having an inner surface (26) disposed in spaced and parallel relationship with one another with said inner surfaces (26) facing each other. Each of the panels (22) defines a pair of beams (32). At least one shelf (66, 166) is disposed between the panels (22) in perpendicular relationship to the panels (22). A plurality of ribs (122) extend from the beams (32) and are spaced from one another along the beams (32). A pair of ears (124, 224) extend from each of the shelves (66, 166) and engage an adjacent pair of the ribs (122) to maintain the panels (22) in spaced and parallel relationship with one another and perpendicular to the shelf (66, 166). Each of the beams (32) define a plurality of sockets (34) spaced from one another. A pair of plugs (76) extend from each of the mounting sides (67, 167) in one of the sockets (34) connecting the shelves (66, 166) to the panels (22). The ears (124, 224) are disposed between said plugs (76).
