Patent number: 9592932Abstract: A lifting device for lifting a container engages fittings at the corners, and a mechanism which releasably engages a lid of the container such that it can be lifted while the container is being lifted. said device, including a second lifting means which operates to releasably engage a lid associated with said container, wherein the lid can be lifted from the container while thed container is being lifted. The lid and lifting arrangement includes an apertured receiving formation on an upper side of a lid to receive a lift member which can engage the formation and unlock a locking mechanism holding the lid to a container. The lift member can also be rotated to unlock the locking mechanism which locks the lid to the container while simultaneously locking the lift member to the lid.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2012Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: LOAD AND MOVE PTY LTDInventors: Matthew William Chalmers, Garry Mark Pinder

Patent number: 6293699Abstract: There is disclosed a method for continuously monitoring temperature at multiple locations within a controlled temperature unit (CTU) using RTDs that can be removed and reinserted. The key to the method is the collection of data using an RTD fixed in a phenolic thermowell, which in turn is inserted through a polytetrafluoroethylene-coated sleeve in the wall of the CTU. The temperature information is transmitted from a data module to an interfaced computer system where it may be presented to the operator in a graphical, tabular or text format or stored in memory. The temperature probes are easily removable so as to facilitate calibration without disruption of the contents of the CTU and can be consistently replaced in the same location within the CTU.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 1999Date of Patent: September 25, 2001Assignee: Merck & Co., Inc.Inventors: Fred J. Bailey, Mark Pinder, Carl W. Holz
