  • Patent number: 8302975
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transport system (1) comprising a trolley (5) and a goods carrier (100), which can be detachably connected to each other via a coupling (65, 154). A remarkable characteristic of the transport system (1) is a platform (11), which extends over all parts (5, 100) of the transport system (1) and coincides with a platform (13) of the trolley (5) so that as a result both a delimiting connecting member (15) is provided between individual parts (67, 69) of the trolley (5) and also individual goods can be disposed on the goods carrier (100).

  • Publication number: 20080028726
    Abstract: A container and a pallet are described for sorting, storing, and/or transporting objects (2) having differing external dimensions and spatial edge contours (4), the container having at least one depression (5) shaped like a stepped pyramid having bearing surfaces (6). The bearing surfaces (6) at each pyramid step (7) are tailored to the edge contours (4) of the objects (3). In this case, a lower pyramid step (7) has bearing surfaces (6) with smaller dimensions than a pyramid step (8) positioned above it in the depression (5) in order to sort and position the objects (3) in the depression (5) stacked by height in accordance with their external dimensions.

  • Patent number: 6694672
    Abstract: A ground lining for regulating the water balance of an area of ground has a combination of ground panels (5) which can be placed against each other and a panel covering (51) which has a number of openings (16a, b) to allow the passage of water. The ground lining (6) also comprises a panel base (52) which is located at a distance from the panel covering (51), several reservoirs (54) being provided between the panel base (52) and the panel covering (51). These reservoirs are separated from each other by dividing walls (53) that extend between the panel base (52) and the panel covering (51) and adjacent reservoirs (54) are interconnected by an overflow (55). According to prior art, moisture is only stored above the level of the panel in direct contact with the surface structure or the surface that is walked on. According to the invention, the reservoirs (54) that extend under the panel base (52) ensure a longer-lasting storage capacity and therefore a longer moisture supply phase to the structure above.
