    摘要: A collapsible trunk for use with a vehicle having a wheel well. The trunk comprises a base wall and a side wall pivotally connected thereto. The side wall extends from the base wall and terminates at an upper edge. The side wall and base wall collectively define a storage cavity. The base wall and the side wall each have an expandable portion conformable to the wheel well in response to placement of the base wall and the side wall over the wheel well. The trunk is selectively transitional between a collapsed configuration and a deployed configuration. In the collapsed configuration, the base panels overlap each other, and in the deployed configuration, the plurality of base panels are co-planar to each other. The upper edge of the side wall moves away from the base wall as the trunk transitions from the collapsed configuration toward the deployed configuration.

    摘要: A ground vehicle for transporting loads comprises a load stabilizer to provide additional stability of the load during transport. The load stabilizer includes a securing arm coupled to a support frame that is coupled to a pad. The securing arm is also configured to movably mate with the ground vehicle. When a load is placed onto the ground vehicle, the load stabilizer is positioned so that the pad contacts the load to provide stability. The load stabilizer is positioned by actuating a motor, such as a stepper motor. The motor stops when it reaches a torque threshold placed on the motor through contact of the load stabilizer with the load. This mechanism allows for a lightweight load stabilizer that minimally affects the center of mass of the ground vehicle, while at the same time, provides a consistent load-stabilizing force that reduces the likelihood of damage to the load.

    摘要: A bulkhead is provided. The bulkhead includes a panel that extends between first and second primary and secondary edges that are perpendicular to each other. The first primary edge includes a plurality of cutouts, and the second primary edge includes a first plurality of fingers and a second plurality of fingers. Each of the first plurality of fingers includes a first tongue extending from a first side of the second primary edge and away from a primary centerline and also includes a first groove extending from a second side of the second primary edge and toward the primary centerline. Each of the second plurality of fingers includes a second tongue extending from the second side of the second primary edge and away from the primary centerline and also includes a second groove extending from the first side of the second primary edge and toward the primary centerline.

    摘要: The mobile platform cabin (20) disclosed herein comprises a passenger portion (22), a first cargo portion (24) disposed aft of the passenger portion (22), a partition (36) separating the passenger portion (22) from the first cargo portion (24), a second cargo portion (26) disposed aft of the first cargo portion (24) and a barrier net (38) separating the first cargo portion (24) from the second cargo portion (26). The first cargo portion (24) comprises a cargo-receiving zone (40) and a stay-out zone (44) in which cargo is not permitted. The barrier net (38) is configured to distend into the first cargo portion (24) when restraining forward movement of cargo (48) in the second cargo portion due to the cargo (48) in the second cargo portion being subjected to an acceleration relative to the cabin. At least part of the distension of the barrier net (38) is accommodated by the stay-out zone (44) of the first cargo portion (24).

    摘要: A double door temporary bulkhead locking member comprising a single or joined rigid material with the angle apex pointing inward. The temporary bulkhead is wedged across the width of the inside opening of a container. When the flowable product is installed into the container the pressure on the bulkhead is transferred to the outer edges sealing the product into the container. The temporary bulkhead material has a series of creases, notches, slots and shapes that are folded and locked into the proprietary shape. A single door bulkhead locking member comprising a single or joined rigid material as a straight plain panel to fit into the single doorway of a shipping container. The temporary bulkhead is wedged across the width of the inside opening of a container when one door is closed and the other open. When the flowable product is installed into the container the pressure on the bulkhead is transferred to the outer edges sealing the product into the container. The temporary bulkhead material has a series of creases, notches, slots and shapes that are folded and locked into the proprietary shape.

    摘要: A cargo restraint component such as a cargo restraint panel or a component of a load restraint strip system (e.g., a connecting strip or a load restraint strip) may comprise an attached RF beacon. Additional non-limiting examples of cargo restraint components that can comprise an attached RF beacon include a fluid filled member (e.g. an inflatable air bag), a layered structure (e.g. cardboard dunnage material with an internal honeycomb structure), a cargo retaining strap, a bracing member, a portable bulkhead, an non-skid mat, and an expandable load stabilizer. An RF beacon attached to a cargo restraint component can be configured to transmit identifying data. In some embodiments, an RF beacon attached to a cargo restraint component may include one or more sensors that can measure one or more environmental parameters.
