Patent number: 10808440Abstract: A safe and user-friendly door, especially for logistics containers, which preferably includes a quadrilateral frame, defining the perimeter for the door. A latch is provided movably to the frame so as to be manipulated between a locking state, in which at least a distal portion of the latch protrudes outside the perimeter, and a released state, in which the distal portion is flush with or inside the perimeter. The frame also preferably includes a diagonal guide, which is configured to guide the latch between the locking state and the released state by allowing deviation of the latch along a path diagonal to the quadrilateral shape of the frame.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2017Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: K. Hartwall Oy AbInventors: Markku Tiilikainen, Mikko Järvi

Patent number: 10364065Abstract: A logistics system, adaptor pallet and load carrier are proposed for transporting many load carriers at once. The novel logistics system includes at least one load carrier and an adaptor pallet for receiving a plurality of such load carriers. The adaptor pallet includes a detent, which has a deployed configuration, in which the detent is configured to prevent lateral movement of the at least one load carrier, and a released configuration, in which the detent is configured to allow lateral movement of the at least one load carrier. The logistics system also includes a locking interface having a first counterpart fixed to the adaptor pallet and a second counterpart provided to the at least one load carrier. The first and second counterpart have been configured to engage each other, when the at least one load carrier is in the transporting position on the adaptor pallet so as to prevent rotation movement of the at least one load carrier in respect to the adaptor pallet.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2017Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: K.

Patent number: 7733503Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for measuring articles made of a material that is difficult to measure, such as glass. In the system, an elastic film (19) is arranged on top of an article (110). A number of measurement points have been arranged on the film that are imaged using a machine vision system. The location of the measurement points imaged are calculated with respect to one another, and based on this, the shape of the article can be measured.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2005Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: Oy Mapvision Ltd.Inventors: Mikko Himmi, Mikko Järvi, Antti Knuuttila
