  • Patent number: 10793352
    Abstract: A locking device for locking a wheel track (30) of a carton flow bed rack to an end beam (10; 20) of the carton flow bed rack in a mounting position includes a locking plate (50) for connecting the wheel track (30) to the end beam (10; 20) and a cover rail (40) for fixing the locking plate (50) to the wheel track (30). The locking plate (50) has a mounting end (51) configured to engage the end beam (10; 20) in the mounting position. The locking plate (50) further has an elongated protrusion (52) configured to protrude out of the end beam (10; 20) in the mounting position. The cover rail (40) is configured to encase at least partially both the protrusion (52) of the locking plate (50) and an end section of the wheel track (30) in the mounting position.

  • Patent number: 10765210
    Abstract: A mounting device (100) is provided for connecting two substantially horizontally aligned support beams (20, 30, 40) of a carton flow bed rack (1; 2). The mounting device (100) has a plug (110) pluggable into an end of a first support beam (20) of the support beams. A key (130) is provided as a wedge for fixing the plug (110) in the first support beam (20). An engaging element (120) is arranged at the plug (110). The engaging element (120) is provided to engage a second support beam (30; 40) of the two support beams. The plug (110) is fixable to the first support beam (20) in at least two different plug-positions by means of the key (130).
