Abstract: An integrated shipping ramp for multi-package unit loads including a ramp portion configured to guide an upper package down from atop a lower package; and a lower package attachment portion comprising a corner board for insertion into a cavity of the lower package, wherein inserting the corner board into the cavity of the lower package secures the lower package attachment portion to the lower package, wherein in a shipping configuration the ramp portion is integrated with a multi-package unit load comprising the upper package and the lower package, and wherein in a dismounting configuration the ramp portion provides an inclined platform from a top of the lower package to a height below the top of the lower package.

Abstract: In one general embodiment, an apparatus includes a base having a face and back, a center section, and a foldable section extending from the center section. The apparatus further includes a perforated sheet extending along the face of the base, members extending from the foldable section for engaging perforations of the perforated sheet, and the foldable section being positioned to apply tension to the perforated sheet upon folding of the foldable section toward the back of the base.

Abstract: An apparatus for a tracking device enclosure is disclosed. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the apparatus includes an enclosure that holds a motion tracking device to a shipping container. Further, the enclosure includes one or more first flaps that secure a first motion tracking device within the enclosure such that the first motion tracking device does not move in relation to the enclosure. The one or more first flaps secure the first motion tracking device based on a shape of the first motion tracking device. Also, the enclosure includes one or more second flaps that secure a second motion tracking device within the enclosure such that the second motion tracking device does not move in relation to the enclosure. The one or more second flaps secure the second motion tracking device based on a shape of the second motion tracking device.

Abstract: An interlocking clip, a container incorporating the interlocking clip, and methods of fabricating of the interlocking clip and container are provided. The interlocking clip is formed integral with first and second container sections for fastening the container sections together, and includes a tab-receiving aperture and a locking tab. The tab-receiving aperture is formed through a container wall of the first container section, and the locking tab is formed from, and integral with, a container wall of the second container section. The locking tab is bendable to interlock with the tab-receiving aperture, and includes bendable extensions on opposite sides of the locking tab. The bendable extensions include wall-receiving grooves to receive the container wall on opposite sides of the tab-receiving aperture in the first container section. In operation, the locking tab inserts into the tab-receiving aperture to interlock the first and second container sections together.
