A product storage apparatus (10) or rack comprises a base (20) having a product placement portion (21) capable of receiving a product; means for clamping (42, 44, 46, 48) the product to the apparatus when the product is positioned on the apparatus; and, a linkage assembly (32, 35, 36, 38) that operates the clamping means, the linkage assembly (32, 35, 36, 38) optionally including a self-locking mechanism that locks the clamping means in a closed position, such that when the clamping means is in the closed position, force applied directly to the clamping means will not open the clamping means. A foot pedal (34) may operate the linkage assembly (32, 35, 36, 38). In one embodiment, the self-locking mechanism is an over-center mechanism. One or more product storage apparatuses (10) can be attached to, or incorporated into, a shipping rack (100). In the shipping rack (100), the linkage assembly of one master product storage apparatus or pod (131a) may control an adjacent linked, non-hub, or slave product storage apparatus (131b) via connecting linkage (140, 141).

Cette invention concerne un dispositif de stockage de produits (10) ou une plateforme comprenant une base (20) avec une partie de rangement de produits (21) conçue pour recevoir un produit; des moyens de fixation (42, 44, 46, 48) du produit sur le dispositif; et un ensemble tringlerie (32, 35, 36, 38) actionnant les moyens de fixation et comportant éventuellement un mécanisme auto-bloquant qui bloque les moyens de fixation en position fermée de telles sorte qu'une fois fermés, ces derniers ne peuvent pas s'ouvrir. L'ensemble tringlerie (32, 35, 36, 38) peut être commandé par une pédale (34). Dans un mode de réalisation, le mécanisme auto-bloquant est du type à genouillère. Un ou plusieurs dispositifs de stockage de produits (10) peuvent être fixés ou incorporés à une plateforme d'expédition (100). Sur la plateforme d'expédition (100), l'ensemble tringlerie d'un dispositif ou d'une nacelle de stockage principal (131a) peut commander un dispositif de stockage adjacent sans moyeu ou asservi (131b) via une tringlerie de commande (140, 141).
