  • Publication number: 20110013976
    Abstract: A beam and column connector connects a beam to a column in structural support systems, such as storage racks. The beam and column connector has a body portion which is securely connected to the end of the beam. The body portion of the beam and column connector has a shape which conforms to the shape of the beam. The beam and column connector also has a column mounting portion which extends from the body portion. The column mounting portion allows the beam and column connector to be securely connected to the column. The beam and column connector can be used with a wide variety of beams and columns. The beam and column connector can provide a strong and safe connection between the beam and the column.

  • Publication number: 20020159865
    Abstract: A container pick and return system is provided having a two-tiered flow rail conveyor system that includes an inclined upper set of feed flow rails forming an input conveyor assembly and a lower set of inclined return flow rails forming an exit conveyor upon which a unit load may roll. At the front end of the system is a transfer conveyor assembly that receives a loaded container. The line worker may then operate a damper control pedal that permits the container to be positioned at any desired angle greater than the angle of the input conveyor. This permits enhanced accessibility of the contents of the container regardless of the height or arm length of the line worker or the size and shape of the container contents. When the container is emptied by the line worker, the transfer conveyor assembly is triggered and the empty container is automatically lowered and transferred to the exit conveyor where it rolls down the exit conveyor to the rear of the system for reloading.
