Abstract: An inventory system for wire shelving is provided which includes a pivoting divider unit that subdivides individual bins of a shelving system into front and rear sections accessed through an open front side of the bin. The divider unit hinges between an upright position and a forwardly-lowered position. When fully stocked, the bin includes articles which are located in both the forward and rearward bin sections with the divider unit oriented in the upright position between adjacent articles. As articles are removed from the front bin section, eventually the divider unit is exposed. The divider unit is then manually tilted forwardly or lowered to allow continued removal of articles from the rear bin section. This lowered orientation of the divider unit indicates that the front bin section is now empty and restocking is due. The divider unit rotatably engages with the wire shelving and includes hinge clips which releasably lock the divider unit in the upright orientation.
Abstract: A mobile cart has a battery assembly, which includes an on-board charger for selectively recharging one or more batteries to ensure constant operation of the powered equipment provided on the cart. The battery assembly possesses a removable battery configuration and is operated by a Battery Control System (BCS). The BCS is an intelligent control system for removable batteries and battery cell packs to provide an improved system of charging and discharging the individual batteries.
