Abstract: A railcar coupler which integrates fluid and electrical connectors into one modular unit with increased facility for automatically making such connections when cars are pushed together while achieving compatibility between Janney type and Automatic Intermodal Railway Car Couplers.

Abstract: A pivotally mounted spade connector for attaching an intermodal sea container to a U-shaped vehicle. A sleeve is rigidly connected to the container to receive the spade connector. A ledge is located on the U-shaped vehicle and is received within a groove on the container. The U-shaded vehicle lowers to the ground, backs up to surround the container, the ledge is guided onto the groove, and the spade connector is projected into the sleeve. The container is connected to the vehicle and both are raised in order to transport the container over roads.

Abstract: A railcar coupler which integrates fluid and electrical connections into one modular unit with increased facility for automatically connecting these connections when cars are pushed together and automatically disconnecting these connections when railway cars are lifted up off of railroad tracks.

Abstract: The present invention is a fork lift attachment for lifting and carrying Stackable Open Front Grocery and Goods Bins with Air Cushion Mobility—lightweight, somewhat fragile produce containers, preferably made out of plastic, which are designed to float on a cushion of compressed air like a hovercraft. It can be equipped with wheels to function as a stand alone cart.

Abstract: The Stackable Open Front Grocery and Goods Bin with Air Cushion Mobility and its related conveyer together comprise a goods distribution system designed to deliver products ordered over the internet into special stores called Safety Malls which will lower the cost of everything you buy through the elimination of paper boxes and supermarket and department store janitors and stockmen. Goods ordered over the internet can be automatically be custom loaded into bins at the factory, sorted in a distribution center, and delivered to a store near your home without ever being touched by human hands. Empty bins can be nested, removed from the store, and put through a washing machine to keep the store hygienically clean.
