Abstract: A latch assembly of the present invention is configured for latching a first wall member and a second wall member to one another. The latch assembly includes a base portion, a locking member and a spring member. One of the first and second wall members is moveable relative to the other. The base portion is fixed to the second wall portion. The locking member is movably connected to the base portion and is moveable relative to the base portion between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking member is adapted to engage the first wall member in a manner to prevent relative movement between the first and second wall members when the locking member is in the locked position, and to permit relative movement between the first and second wall members when the locking member is in the unlocked position. The spring member is adapted for engaging the base portion and the locking member in a manner for urging the locking member toward the locked position.

Abstract: In general, a bin of the present invention comprises a base portion, opposing first and second side walls, an end wall and an access gate. The side walls are connected to the base portion and extend upwardly therefrom. The end wall is connected to a rearward edge of the base portion and extends upwardly therefrom between the first and second side wall. The access gate includes first and second leg members and at least one article retainer. The first leg member is operatively connected to a forward edge of the base portion, adjacent the first side wall, and extends generally upwardly from the base portion. The second leg member is operatively connected to a forward edge of the base portion, adjacent the second side wall, and extends generally upwardly from the base portion. The first and second leg members define the left and right margins of an access opening in the gate. The article retainer has a first end and a second end.

Abstract: A pallet comprising a lower member and an upper member. The lower member includes a base, a plurality of protrusions extending upwardly from the base, and a plurality of holding fingers extending laterally from the protrusions. The upper member is configured for attachment to the lower member. The upper member includes a deck and a plurality of legs extending down from the deck. Each leg has at least one side wall and a notch in the side wall engageable with one of the laterally extending holding fingers of the lower member. The legs are sized and configured to space the deck of the upper member above the base of the lower member when the upper member is attached to the lower member to define tine-receiving channels between the deck and base for receiving the tines of a fork-lift truck.

Abstract: A bin comprises a bin bottom, forward and rearward opposing end walls, and first and second opposing side walls. The end walls and side walls extend up from the bottom and define a bin interior configured for holding product. The bottom comprises a support beam extending generally rearwardly from the forward end wall to the rearward end wall. The support beam is laterally spaced between the side walls. A plurality of stiffening ribs are between the support beam and side walls, and have generally straight lower edges. The support beam is generally arch shaped.
