To attach a board to a cargo organizer, a bottom of the board is placed on a sill that extends rearwardly of a cargo organizer wall. The board is rotated upwardly until its width is in a vertical position. Then, each of plural camming fingers is turned within a respective finger hole, the holes being selected by the user for the width of the board in question. An elongate blade of each camming finger helps affix the top of the board to a rear face of the organizer wall.

Retention device for restraining an article during transport of the article

A retention device for physically restraining undesired movement of an article during transport of the article. Retention devices may include a first surface, a first set of protrusions extending outward from the first surface, a second surface, and a second set of protrusions extending outward from the second surface. Each protrusion in the first set of protrusions may be shaped to engage a floor of a transport vehicle. Each protrusion in the second set of protrusions may be shaped to engage an article positioned in the transport vehicle. The first surface and the second surface may be aligned along different planes at an angular offset. During transport of an article, the first set of protrusions engage with a floor of the transport vehicle, and the second set of protrusions engage with the article. After the transport vehicle has arrived at its destination, the retention device can be released from engaging the floor and the article by lifting the article, as typically occurs when a forklift is used to unload the article from the transport vehicle.

Cargo organizer

Board channels of a cargo organizer are defined by towers disposed at the rear margins of the organizer base and upstanding walls spaced forwardly from the towers. The upstanding walls are located rearwardly of a base plate adapted to be placed underneath an item of cargo to be contained. The board channels are formed at an angle to each other, such that each of several organizers may be disposed at respective vertices of a cargo restraining polygon. The organizer walls are joined to the base by inserting barbs disposed on the lower surface of the walls into respective barb receivers. Side margins of the barb receivers mate with side margins of recesses in the lower margin of the wall. Relieved areas formed in the front surface of the organizer wall mate with upstanding plates of the base.

Cargo support

Luggage support for estate and hatchback cars constituted by an angled part with an approximately 1 dm broad horizontal part and a vertical part approximately 3 dm high, the vertical part in its ends being provided with holes into which hooks (5) can grip. The hooks (5) are adjustably fixable to rubber strings (6). The rubber strings run when used from the holes (4) down between back rest and floor (7). In this way the luggage support is pulled obliquely forward, downwards and furthermore the luggage support is held in place by the horizontal part (1) that is pushed in under the goods. At loading and unloading the support is released from the hooks in one or the other end and is pulled backwards, is swung away or tilted backwards without the release of any hook. Loading is carried out in an opposed manner.

Cargo retainer

A cargo retainer, having a floor contacting member provided with an upwardly facing load bearing surface and an upright member secured adjacent to the rear end of the floor contacting member, is provided with a floor piercing element. The floor piercing element is movably mounted adjacent to the juncture between the floor contacting member and the upright member and is movable relative to the cargo retainer between a position of relatively shallow floor piercing engagement and a position of substantially deeper floor piercing engagement. A member projects from the cargo retainer adjacent to the juncture between the floor contacting member and the upright member in planar alignment with the floor piercing element and serves to drive the floor piercing element from a shallow engagement position to a deeper engagement position with rearward movement of the cargo retainer and thereby limit such movement in service. Means are further provided on the cargo retainer for engagement with the floor piercing element to effect removal of the element with forward movement of the cargo retainer in service. After forward movement of the cargo retainer in service, the floor piercing element is driven to reestablish a piercing engagement with the floor.

Cargo retainer

A cargo retainer having a floor contacting member provided with an upwardly facing load bearing surface and an upright member secured adjacent to one end of the floor contacting member is provided with a floor piercing element. The floor piercing element is movably mounted adjacent to the juncture between the floor contacting member and the upright member and is movable between a floor piercing position and a position rendering the element incapable of piercing the floor.

Self-propelled airside dolly, baggage handling system, baggage handling facility, and related apparatus and methods

The present invention relates to an autonomous self-propelled airside dolly 100, and particularly but not exclusively to an airside baggage and/or cargo dolly. The autonomous self-propelled airside dolly 100 comprises a processor 116 which is operable in a plurality of different autonomous modes and is changeable between the different autonomous modes in response to a mode trigger. A mode trigger may be a predetermined trigger, such as a geospatial or weather-responsive trigger, in that the timing and/or position of the trigger is/are predetermined and therefore entirely predictable to the self-propelled airside dolly 100 and/or an operator. The processor 116 may be configured to request intervention, for example from a human operator, in response to an event trigger. An event trigger may relate to unforeseen or unpredictable events or issues that may occur at random or in response to unexpected circumstances. A method of operating an autonomous airside dolly is also disclosed.
