Storage and transportation system and elements thereof
DCFirst Claim
1. A support device (100) for carrying an inner load holder (50/60) in use within an outer transport and storage container (10), said device including a base member (101, 102,103,105) for being secured or securable to a floor (16) of the outer container (10), having at least one formation (104) for restraining lateral movements of the inner load holder (50/60) relative to the device (100) in a plane generally parallel to the floor, said device (100) further including a mechanism (108) for releasably restraining said inner load holder (50/60) in a direction perpendicular to said floor or base, wherein said mechanism includes at least one sliding bolt member (110) for selectively engaging with a complementary feature (62) of the inner load holder and when so engaged, providing said restraining, the device characterised in that the mechanism (108) includes a shaft (112) that is slideable, and at least partially rotatable about an axis, and the at least one sliding bolt member (110) includes a protrusion (210) extending from the shaft having a portion which extends generally parallel with the shaft.

Abstract
A support device (100) for carrying an inner load holder (50/60) in use within an outer transport and storage container (10). The device includes a base member (101, 102, 103, 105) for being secured or securable to a floor (16) of the outer container, having at least one formation (104) for restraining lateral movements of the inner load holder relative to the device in a plane generally parallel to the floor. The device further includes a mechanism (108) for releasably restraining said inner load holder in a direction perpendicular to said floor or base, wherein said mechanism includes at least one sliding bolt member (110) for selectively engaging with a complementary feature (62) of the inner load holder and when so engaged, providing said restraining.

11. A storage system including:
- a load holder in a form of an inner container, shelf or pallet (50/60) configured, in use, to be fitted inside an outer container (10);
a supporting device (100) for being secured within the outer container and being adapted to removably support the load holder (50/60) within the outer container in use, the supporting device (100) including a mechanism (108) for slidingly engaging with the load holder (50/60), thereby releasably restraining relative movement between the inner container, shelf or pallet and the supporting device;
wherein the mechanism (108) includes a shaft (112) that is slideable, and at least partially rotatable about an axis, and at least one sliding bolt arrangement (110) including a protrusion (210) extending from the shaft having a portion which extends generally parallel with the shaft, and the load holder includes at least one corresponding formation (62) with which the or each bolt arrangement engages in use. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
