Patent number: 10364052Abstract: An inventory management system includes a floor-based weighing subsystem and a load status subsystem. The floor-based weighing subsystem includes a sensor arrangement that includes at least one weight sensor functionally associated with a load carrying unit that supports a load having an associated weight. The load carrying unit is deployed at the floor of a retail display area, and the weight sensor determines the weight of the load. A load status determination engine of the load status subsystem receives, from the floor-based weighing subsystem, the weight of the load determined by the weight sensor, and determines a loading status of the load carrying unit based on the received weight of the load.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2017Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: POLYMER LOGISTICS (ISRAEL) LTD.Inventor: Gideon Feiner

Patent number: 9045253Abstract: A pallet-dolly device convertible between a pallet and a dolly has a deck to which a set of dolly wheels are attached at a fixed height below the deck. A set of movable pallet skids are mechanically interlinked with the deck by a bistable skid displacement mechanism which assumes a first state biasing the pallet skids upwards towards a skid raised position and a second state in which the bistable skid displacement mechanism biases the pallet skids downwards towards a skid lowered position. Also described are embodiments allowing conversion from dolly to pallet by directly pressing downwards on a skid, and provision of a braked-dolly state through downward pressure of the skid against the ground and/or a skid-actuated wheel brake.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2011Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: Polymer Logistics (Israel) Ltd.Inventors: Haron Hacko, Nir Hadar

Patent number: 8888110Abstract: A pallet-dolly device convertible between a pallet and a dolly has a generally rectangular deck to which a set of dolly wheels are attached at a fixed height below the deck. A set of movable pallet skids are moved by a skid displacement mechanism between a skid lowered position in which a ground contacting surface of the skid is lowered below a contact plane of the wheels to provide a pallet state of the pallet-dolly device, and a skid raised position in which the skid ground contacting surface is raised above the wheel contact plane to provide a dolly state of the pallet-dolly device. At least two pedals, accessible from two adjacent sides of the deck, are deployed to be operated by a user to activate the skid displacement mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2011Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Polymer Logistics (Israel) Ltd.Inventors: Dagan Sadeh, Haron Hacko, Nir Hadar

Patent number: 8104775Abstract: A dolly or pallet equipped with an elastically suspended load-bearing surface so as to responsively move downwards as materials are loaded and move upwards as loads are removed thereby reducing variation in the height of the top of the stack. The elastic suspension elements are connected to suspension support structures configured to fold into a compact folded position to facilitate storage and return transport and to unfold into a fully erected position at the time of use.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2008Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: Polymer Logistics (Israel) Ltd.Inventors: Nir Hadar, Gideon Feiner

Publication number: 20110174807Abstract: A container (10, 30) has a floor (20) for supporting produce suspended via elastic suspension elements (22) from the walls (12, 14, 16, 18) of the container so as to automatically adjust the height of the floor, and hence of the produce, as a function of the weight of the produce within the container. Optionally, an adjustment mechanism (32) is provided to allow adjustment of an effective length of the elastic suspension elements (22).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2010Publication date: July 21, 2011Applicant: POLYMER LOGISTICS (ISRAEL) LTD.Inventor: Nir HADAR

Patent number: 7537222Abstract: The dolly-pallet of the present invention includes a load bearing deck that may be alternately supported by the retractable support skid or the wheel elements. Initial displacement of the skid during the retraction process is along an upward substantially vertical path. Once the retractable support skid is retracted such that the dolly-pallet is being supported by the wheel elements, the retractable support skid may be further displaced along an upward substantially arcuate path so as to move it away form the wheel elements, allowing them to swivel if they are so configured. In this way, the center of mass of the load is lowered vertically, thereby reducing stress on the displacement mechanism until the load is supported by the wheel elements.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2008Date of Patent: May 26, 2009Assignee: Polymer Logistics (Israel) Ltd.Inventor: Nir Hadar

Publication number: 20090101640Abstract: A foldable crate has two pairs of folding sides hinged to base. A fastening mechanism associated with one pair of sides has a pair of displaceable catch elements assuming an engagement position for engaging features of the adjacent first pair of sides to inhibit folding of the crate. The fastening mechanism also includes a manually operable actuator linked to each of the pair of catches by a mechanical linkage such that, when the manually operable actuator is displaced from an initial position in either of an upward vertical motion and a downward vertical motion, the mechanical linkages displace the catch elements from the engagement position to release the engagement so as to allow folding of the crate.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2008Publication date: April 23, 2009Applicant: POLYMER LOGISTICS (ISRAEL) LTDInventor: NIR HADAR

Patent number: 7475526Abstract: A knock-down crate has a base and four sides detachably engageable with the base for deployment parallel to the length and breadth of the base. The upper surface of the base has an elongated recess extending most of the length and sized for receiving the sides. The sides can be engaged with the base to form a four-sided crate with the recess of the base contributing to the available volume of the crate. When not in use, the sides are received within the recess in the base for compact transportation.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2004Date of Patent: January 13, 2009Assignee: Polymer Logistics (Israel) Ltd.Inventor: Nir Hadar

Publication number: 20080169291Abstract: A container for transporting or storing raisins or other sticky produce features a flexible membrane secured within a container structure which has a base and four walls. The flexible membrane is secured within the container structure so as to overlie a major part of the base, such that, when the container is filled with sticky produce and inverted, the flexible membrane peels away from the sticky produce, thereby releasing the sticky produce while the flexible membrane itself remains secured within the container structure for subsequent use.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2008Publication date: July 17, 2008Applicant: POLYMER LOGISTICS (ISRAEL) LTDInventor: Nir Hadar

Patent number: 7281637Abstract: A knock-down crate having a base associated with four sides. In a first embodiment, the base and the sides are hingedly interconnected. In alternative embodiments, the sides are detachably engageable with the base for deployment parallel to the length and breadth of the base. The upper surface of the base has an elongated recess extending most of the length and sized for receiving at least some of the sides. The sides can be deployed such that the base and four sides form a four-sided crate with the recess of the base contributing to the available volume of the crate. When not in use, at least some of the sides are received within the recess in the base for compact transportation.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2004Date of Patent: October 16, 2007Assignee: Polymer Logistics (Israel) Ltd.Inventor: Nir Hadar
