  • Publication number: 20200113329
    Abstract: In a wall-mounted shelving and/or storage system, vertical standards are mounted to a wall using a plurality of individual cleats arranged in vertical columns and horizontal rows. The width of each cleat is smaller than the width of the standard, so that it can be hidden within the standard when mounted. Formed on the back of each vertical standard are a plurality of transverse edges at predefined intervals, in known spatial relationships with bracket connection points, for cooperating with the cleats to properly position and orient the standards at the correct height with respect to each other.

  • Patent number: 10610016
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a flexible cover strip for a storage system including a carrier rail (1) having a U-shaped cross section with first and second parallel rows (3, 5) of elongated substantially identical slots (7) in a front portion to accommodate a suspension element such as e.g. a bracket. The cover strip has an abutment face (17) and an exterior face (31), and a plurality of projections (19), rising from the abutment surface of the strip in first and second parallel rows matching the slots of the carrier rail, such that the cover strip can be fitted on the front portion with the projections entering the slots, and wherein at least some of the projections are provided with a snap element (27) at their distal ends, which snap elements prevent the cover strip from falling off the rail.

  • Publication number: 20190366523
    Abstract: Methods for manipulating, positioning, and removing a lock ring for a wheel are disclosed. Manipulating the lock ring for the wheel involves increasing a separation distance between a first fastener fastened to a first end of the lock ring and a second fastener fastened to a second end of the lock ring opposite the first end. Positioning the lock ring in a lock ring groove of the wheel involves causing a lock ring positioner to position the lock ring proximate the wheel before positioning the lock ring in the lock ring groove of the wheel. Removing the lock ring from the wheel involves receiving the lock ring in at least one catcher receptacle of a lock ring positioner after removing the lock ring from the wheel.

  • Patent number: 10330489
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for resolving erroneous movement signals and for providing navigation instructions. One of the methods includes receiving data from two or more sensors, synchronizing the received data, determining a first subset of the synchronized data from the camera for a particular period of time and a second subset of the synchronized data from the other sensor for the particular period of time, comparing the first subset with the second subset to determine whether the first subset and the second subset indicate an erroneous movement signal, based on determining that the first subset and the second subset indicate an erroneous movement signal, selecting data for one of the sensors based on a sensor priority scheme for the sensors, and resolving the erroneous movement signal based on the selected data for the one of the sensors.

  • Publication number: 20190110595
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a book support and an attachment device that can be used to attach a book support to a shelf. A base plate is provided which rests on a shelf, and an upright extends from the shelf. Tongues are provided at each end of the base plate which are capable of clamping the shelf. The tongues extend from the base plate at an acute angle to the base plate, such that folding the tongues out to a direction perpendicular to the base plate makes the tongues urge inwards. The tongues may have a proximal portion and a distal portion wherein the distal portion is directed at an even more acute angle to the base plate. The attachment device can be attached to shelf boards having relatively wide manufacturing tolerances in terms of thickness.
