Patent number: 11918526Abstract: A sheet assembly includes a sheet having an edge and a pocket extending longitudinally along the edge. A plurality of loops are arranged along the edge and extend from openings formed in the pocket of the sheet. An adjustment webbing is slidably positioned within the pocket. At least a portion of each loop of the plurality of loops is anchored to the adjustment webbing such that sliding the adjustment webbing along the pocket pulls the plurality of loops into the pocket and reduces an exposed length of the plurality of loops.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: LIKO Research & Development ABInventors: Jennifer Domina Slavin, Michael Buccieri, Alejandro Noe Conejo Castaño, Jonathan D.

Patent number: 11833094Abstract: A lift unit docking system includes a docking rail, a docking rail adapter, and a locking mechanism. The docking rail is configured to provide ingress and egress of a lift unit to and from an overhead rail, and includes a body defining a channel and an adapter receiving opening within the body. The docking rail adapter is repositionable relative to the adapter receiving opening of the docking rail and is configured to transport the lift unit into and out of the channel of the docking rail. The locking mechanism is repositionable between a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein the locking mechanism extends into the channel to block movement of a mounted lift unit toward the adapter receiving opening of the docking rail when in the locked position.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2019Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Liko Research & Development ABInventors: Roger Karlsson, Göran Eriksson, Marcus Linde, Elin Dovervik, Johanna Sundqvist, Åsa Lundström
