Abstract

A storage systems for storing objects, a container for use in the storage system, and a method of storing and transporting objects are disclosed. According to some embodiments, the presently disclosed storage system includes at least one container maintained in an elevated position above a transportable base, such as a dolly base or a pallet base, where the base includes a load bearing deck. The weight of the at least one container is borne by at least one selectively deployable upright support. According to some embodiments, the container includes at least one channel substantially parallel to a depth dimension and configured so that the upright support at least partially traverses the channel to hold the container to the upright support. In some embodiments, the containers are stackable, and may be stacked on the load-bearing deck and transported with a load in the containers. In some embodiments, after the containers are removed from the upright support, they may be nested for storage.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to systems for storing, transporting and dispensing items. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] There is an ongoing need for improved packaging and display systems which serve a dual purpose as transport storage containers and in-store display units. These systems allow for goods (e.g. both perishable items such as produce and eggs, and non-perishable items such as pharmaceuticals, hardware items, and office supplies) to be packed by suppliers and transported into the store, reducing costs and reducing the risk of product damage by enabling automated packing on one end, and eliminating the need for stocking on the other end. [0003]FIG. 1 provides an image of a prior art dual-purpose packaging and transport system which combined a shipping container and in-store display in one unit. The system includes two containers 122A (e.g. crates) resting on a load bearing deck 114A (e.g. a deck for supporting the weight of the loaded con...
