Filed:

Apr 28, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/111194

Inventors:

Roger Peters - Bloomington MN, US
Judah Himango - Savage MN, US
Jerry Backer - Coon Rapids MN, US
Christopher Clennon - Columbia Heights MN, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

715738, 715751, 715810, 707828, 707829

Abstract:

A collaboration program operates on a computer system for storing, sharing and synchronizing data between different users. Centrally stored content data items are organized by associations into one or more folders, with the folders arranged by associations in a multi-level hierarchical structure. Users have access to all folders and content data items falling within at least one top level folder or “file cabinet” viewable by that user. When a user makes a change/addition to the hierarchical structure, that change/addition is transmitted to a server, which makes the change/addition to the necessary associations and sends messages through a TCP/IP format advising other signed-on users of the change/addition. With each content data item having the capability of being associated into multiple folders and each folder having the capability of being associated into multiple other folders or file cabinets, the computer system operating the collaboration program gives different users simultaneous, synchronized access to the folders and content data items in the hierarchical structure.

Abstract:

Shelf support apparatus can be moved and stacked with a tined lift such as a forklift. The apparatus has based feet disposed lower than a front base cross member, and support uprights extend upward therefrom to a generally horizontal top structure. The front base cross member has two tine openings with lift tubes for receiving lift tines of a fork lift, and a bottom surface for receiving lift tines of a floor pallet jack. The top structure includes feet-receiving openings corresponding in location to the base feet, such that the apparatus can be stacked. The base feet have targeting slopes both in a front-to-back direction and in a side-to-side direction, to guide the second, upper shelf support apparatus down onto the first, lower shelf support apparatus with the base feet received in a nesting relationship. The targeting slopes in the front-to-back direction acts over a targeting area which is greater than the targeting area in the side-to-side direction. The top structure also provides a top support perimeter which makes substantially perimetrical contact with the base of the apparatus stacked thereon.
