    摘要: A collapsible container assembly that includes a first lateral side wall having a door frame and a first shear wall, a second lateral side wall that opposes the first lateral side wall and includes a wall panel and a second shear wall, an outboard wall that includes upper and lower panels that are pivotably connected to one another, an inboard wall that opposes the outboard wall and includes upper and lower panels that are pivotably connected to one another, a base and a top. The first shear wall is pivotable between a use position where the first shear wall is not positioned in the door frame interior and a stowed position where the first shear wall is positioned in the door frame interior. The second shear wall is pivotable between a use position where the second shear wall is not positioned in the wall panel interior and a stowed position where the second shear wall is positioned in the wall panel interior. The door frame, wall panel, inboard wall and outboard wall are pivotably connected to the base, and the inboard wall and outboard wall are pivotably connected to the top.

    摘要: A container assembly configured for loading into/onto a Unit Load Device (ULD) generally includes first and second containers. Rearward sides of the first and second containers include a securing catchment assembly for mating and securing the first and second containers. Frontward sides of the first and second containers each include a plurality of female/male door securing assemblies that complementarily mate with male/female door securing assemblies of a door assembly. When the first and second containers are mated, the container assembly defines an outer perimeter that is smaller than an inner perimeter of the ULD. The outer perimeter of the container assembly has a shape generally conforming with the shape of the inner perimeter of the ULD. One or more shock absorption assemblies/airbag assemblies configured to reduce vibration and movement of the container assembly are disposable between one or more walls of the ULD and the first and second containers/container assembly.

    摘要: A container suitable for use in a shipment of a cargo by air may include a container body having a top wall, a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall and oppositely disposed side walls and defining a cargo space within the container. The container body may be fabricated as a structure that is a compliant unit load device (ULD) container meeting specified aviation authority structural requirements. A passive temperature control system is located within the cargo space and may have a plurality of insulation panels connected to inner surfaces of the walls of the container body, at least one rack proximate a corresponding wall of the container body, and a plurality of refrigerant bottles filled with a thermal medium and received by the at least one rack to passively maintain a cargo space temperature in the cargo space during the shipment of the cargo.

    摘要: A cargo container for resting on a seat of a vehicle. An upper portion of the cargo container defines a first internal storage space and comprises a first bottom panel to rest on the seat of the vehicle. The upper portion has a first depth corresponding with a depth of the seat. The upper portion comprises a hinged door openable to provide access to the first internal storage space and closable to restrict access to the first internal storage space. A leg portion extends from the upper portion. The leg portion has a second depth less than the first depth. The leg portion is sized to engage a floor of the vehicle when the first bottom panel is resting on the seat of the vehicle. A seatbelt engagement feature is coupled to the upper portion and is configured to engage a seatbelt for the seat of the vehicle.

    摘要: Disclosed are apparatus, systems, and methods, including a ground transport drive container comprising an outer container having a cuboid shape and comprising a plurality of fittings for securing the outer container to another apparatus; and a drive wheel assembly. The drive wheel assembly comprises one or more wheels and a deployment mechanism secured to the one or more wheels. An actuating member actuates the drive wheel assembly between a stowed configuration and one or more deployed configurations. In the stowed configuration, the drive wheel assembly is housed entirely within the outer container. In the one or more deployed configurations, the drive wheel assembly extends from the outer container.
