Figure 1A to 1B has shown according to the block diagram of the abtting joint 100 of an embodiment of the present disclosure.Abtting joint 100 comprises that first pair is supported member 102 and second pair and support member 104.First pair is supported member 102 and comprises that supporting member from first pair takes on 108 teats 106 that extend.Teat 106 has an end 110, and first surface 112 and second surface 114 extend towards first pair and support member shoulder 108 from end 110 with an acute angle 116." angle " used herein is for sharing two profiles that ray forms of a common end points (such as the summit at angle).For acute angle 116, first surface 112 and second surface 114 are shared a common end points 117." acute angle " used herein is for being less than the angle of 90 degree (being less than 90 °).

Second pair support member 104 have teats 106 that 118, the first pairs of sockets support member 102 releasedly seated connection to socket 118.Socket 118 have with an acute angle 126 from second pair support the first end 124 of member 104 extend away from first surface 120 and second surface 122.Acute angle 126 can be equal to or less than first pair and support the first surface 112 of member 102 and the acute angle 116 of second surface 114, and wherein first surface 120 and second surface 122 are shared a common end points 127.In one embodiment, have from second pair support the first end 124 of member 104 extend away from first surface 120 and the socket 118 of second surface 122 have with first pair and support the acute angle that the first surface 112 of member 102 and the acute angle 116 of second surface 114 equate.Figure 1A to 1C provides the diagram of this embodiment.On the contrary, Fig. 1 D illustrates acute angle 126 and is less than first pair of situation of supporting the first surface 112 of member 102 and the acute angle 116 of second surface 114.

Second pair is supported member 104 and also comprises that extend from socket 118 second pair supports member shoulder 128, therefore in the time that first pair of teat 106 seated connection to member 102 is in second pair is supported the socket 118 of member 104, the second surface 114 of teat 106 and the second surface 122 of socket 118 contact, and second pair is supported member shoulder 128 and first pair and support 108 contacts of member shoulder.In one embodiment, when have from second pair support the first end 124 of member 104 extend away from first surface 120 and the socket 118 of second surface 122 have when first pair is supported the acute angle that the first surface 112 of member 102 and the acute angle 116 of second surface 114 equate, first pair of teat 106 that supports member 102 can support in the socket 118 of member 104 at second pair by seated connection, the first surface 112 of teat 106 and the first surface 120 of socket 118 are contacted, the second surface 114 of teat 106 and the second surface 122 of socket 118 contact, and second pair is supported member shoulder 128 and first pair and supports 108 contacts of member shoulder.1A to 1C figure provides the diagram of this embodiment.

" contact " used herein refers to contact at least partially (for example, in the time that first pair of teat 106 seated connection to member 102 is in second pair is supported the socket 118 of member 104, the second surface 114 of teat 106 contacts at least partially with the second surface 122 of socket 118)." seated connection (seat, seats, seated) " used herein means and is engaged in another part, such as first pair to member 102 and second pair of surface to member 104, so at least some surface of these parts become and lean on and prop up each other (for example, when first pair is supported member 102 and second pair and support member 104 and move to when becoming dependence and propping up each other, can not have further relative motion in the direction moving at them).

The end 110 of teat 106 can define a planar surface 130, and planar surface 130 forms an obtuse angle 132 at the first surface 112 of common end points 133 places and teat.Planar surface 130 also can form 90 degree angles at the second surface 114 of common end points 137 places and teat 106.Second pair of socket 118 that supports member 104 comprises second end 134 with planar surface 136.In one embodiment, planar surface 136 can be the mirror image of the planar surface 130 of the end 110 of teat 106.But, please understand: the end 110 of teat 106 must be not necessarily planar surface as shown in Figure 1A.For example, the end 110 of teat 106 can have nonplanarity structure, such as circular structure, such as nonreentrant surface or recessed surface.

First pair is supported member shoulder 108 and comprises the first shoulder surface 138 of extending from the first surface 112 of teat 106 and the second shoulder surface 140 of extending from the second surface 114 of teat 106.The second shoulder surface 140 and the second surface 114 of teat 106 form 90 degree angles 141 at common end points 143 places.As discussed herein, the second shoulder surface 140 and the second surface 114 of teat 106 also can form an obtuse angle (embodiment shown in Fig. 2).The first shoulder surface 138 and the first surface 112 of teat 106 form an obtuse angle 145 at common end points 147 places.

Teat 106 also can change with respect to both sizes of the first shoulder surface 138 and the second shoulder surface 140 and socket 118 and the relation of shape.For example, the height on the second shoulder surface 140 can be two to four times of height on the first shoulder surface 138.The height on the second shoulder surface 140 can also be two to six times of height on the first shoulder surface 138.In one embodiment, the second shoulder surface 140 is that three times of the first shoulder surface 138 height are large (for example, the second shoulder surface 140 is " X " millimeter (such as 18mm) height, and the first shoulder surface 138 is " 3X " millimeters high (such as 6mm)).

Between the height of teat 106 length of measuring at the planar surface 130 of supporting member 102 along first pair and teat 106 second surfaces 114 between the second shoulder surface 140 and the second surface 114 that supports member 102 from first pair the second shoulder surperficial 140 measured to basal surface 159, can there is a predetermined relationship.For different embodiment, this predetermined relationship is equal to or less than from the height on first pair of the second shoulder surface 140 recording to basal surface 159 to the second surface 114 of member 102 teat 106 length that record along teat 106 second surfaces 114 between the planar surface 130 of teat 106 and the second shoulder surface 140.So, for example, can there is one (1) to one (1) ratio of the second shoulder surface 140 height that teat 106 length measured along second surface 114 measure with respect to basal surface 159 to the second surface 114 that supports member 102 from first pair between the second shoulder surface 140 and planar surface 130.Teat 106 length of measuring along second surface 114 between the second shoulder surface 140 and planar surface 130 are also possible with respect to other ratios of the second shoulder surface 140 height of measuring to basal surface 159 to the second surface 114 of member 102 from first pair.The example of these ratios includes but not limited to: eight (8) to nine (9); Seven (7) to eight (8); Six (6) to seven (7); Five (5) to six (6); Four (4) to five (5); Three (3) to four (4); Two (2) to three (3); And one (1) to two (2), and other.

As shown in Figure 1A, the first shoulder surface 138 and the second shoulder surface 140 can be arranged at and have altogether in isoplanar 142.Or the first shoulder surface 138 and the second shoulder surface 140 are not arranged at and have altogether in isoplanar.In the time that the first shoulder surface 138 and the second shoulder surface 140 are not arranged in altogether isoplanar, two

surfaces

138 and 140 can be coplanar each other.In this structure, for 138 positions, the first shoulder surface, the second shoulder surface 140 is by the end of more close teat 106 110.Second pair is supported member 104 and will take on the height on surface 146 by shortening with mode and the alternative shapes complementation of the height of the second end 134 of more close socket 118.Fig. 1 C demonstration the first shoulder surface 138 and the second shoulder surface 140 are coplanar each other.

Second pair is supported member shoulder 128 and comprises the first shoulder surface 144 of extending from the first surface 120 of socket 118 and the second shoulder surface 146 of extending from the second surface 122 of socket 118.The second surface 122 of the second shoulder surface 146 and socket 118 forms 90 degree angles at common end points 151 places.The first surface 120 of the first shoulder surface 144 and socket 118 is at common end points 153 formation obtuse angles, place 152.

The relation of socket 118 sizes and shape can be matched with teat 106, therefore as discuss herein, in the time that teat 106 seated connections are in socket 118, first pair is supported member shoulder 108 and second pair and supports 128 contacts of member shoulder.As discussed for teat 106 herein, both also can have a kind of relation that can variation with respect to the first shoulder surface 144 and the second shoulder surface 146 for socket 118 sizes and shape.For example, can to have be two to four times of large height of the first shoulder surface 144 height on the second shoulder surface 146.It is two to six times of large height of the first shoulder surface 144 height that the second shoulder surface 146 also can have.In one embodiment, the second shoulder surface 146 is that three times of the first shoulder surface 144 height are large (for example, the second shoulder surface 146 is " X " millimeter (such as 18mm) height, and the first shoulder surface 144 is " 3X " millimeters high (such as 6mm)).

Between the height on the height on the second shoulder surface 146 and the second shoulder surface 140, also can there is a predetermined relationship.This predetermined relationship comprises the height that makes the height on the second shoulder surface 146 equal the second shoulder surface 140.Between the length of the teat 106 of measuring along second surface 114 and the length of the second surface 122 measured from the second shoulder surface 146 to second ends 134, also can there is a predetermined relationship.This predetermined relationship comprises the length that makes the length of the teat 106 of measuring along second surface 114 can equal or be shorter than the second surface 122 of measuring from the second shoulder surface 146 to second ends 134.

Figure 1A to 1C has shown that the length of the teat 106 of measuring along second surface 114 equals the embodiment of the length of the second surface 122 of measuring from the second shoulder surface 146 to second ends 134.Fig. 1 D has shown that the length of the teat 106 of measuring along second surface 114 is less than the embodiment of the length of the second surface 122 of measuring from the second shoulder surface 146 to second ends 134.

As shown in Figure 1B, the first shoulder surface 144 and the second shoulder surface 146 can be arranged at and have altogether in isoplanar 148.Or the first shoulder surface 144 and the second shoulder surface 146 are not arranged at and have altogether in isoplanar.In the time that the first shoulder surface 144 and the second shoulder surface 146 are not positioned at altogether isoplanar, two

surfaces

144 and 146 can be coplanar each other.Fig. 1 C shows this embodiment.No matter its relation how, when first pair of teat 106 seated connection that support member 102 is in the time supporting in the socket 118 of member 104 for second pair, first pair of the first shoulder surface 138 and the second shoulder surface 140 of supporting member 102 can contact with second pair of the first shoulder surface 144 and the second shoulder surperficial 146 that supports member 104.

First pair can have multiple difformity to member 102 and second pair of first surface 112,120 and second surface 114,122 that supports member 104.For example, first pair to support the first surface 112 of member 102 and second surface 114 and second pair of first surface 120 and second surface 122 that supports member 104 can be respectively a planar surface.In an extra embodiment,

first surface

112 and 120 can have a bending (a for example nonplanarity curved surface).Also may make

first surface

112 and 120 have two or more planar surface.For example,

first surface

112 and 120 can have one " V-arrangement " form, arch form or a semi-spherical form.Other shapes are also possible.

First pair is shown as at Figure 1A to 1C the planar surface that is orthogonal to its

second shoulder surface

140 and 146 separately respectively to member 102 and second pair of second surface 114,1122 that supports member 104.For different embodiment, can non-orthogonally take on surface 146 in its second shoulder surface 140 and second separately respectively to member 102 and second pair of second surface 114,122 that supports member 104 for first pair.Fig. 2 has shown that first pair is supported that second surface 214,222 that member 202 and second pair support member 204 is non-orthogonal respectively takes on the embodiment on surface 240 and the second shoulder surface 246 separately in it.As shown in the figure, the 254Wei obtuse angle, angle being formed at common end points 255 places by the second shoulder surface 246 and second surface 222.

With reference to Figure 1A to 1C, in the time that first pair of teat 106 seated connection to member 102 is in second pair is supported the socket 118 of member 104, first pair of first surface 112 and second pair of first surface 120 that supports member 104 that supports member 102 can contact once again.In an extra embodiment, in the time that first pair of teat 106 seated connection to member 102 is in second pair is supported the socket 118 of member 104, first pair of first surface 112 and second pair of first surface 120 that supports member 104 that supports member 102 do not contact.Fig. 1 D provides an example of this embodiment.

As shown in 1D figure, first pair is supported the first surface of member 102 and second pair and supports between the first surface 120 of member 104 and can have a gap.This gap can have multiple difformity and size.For example, the otch that supports the blade that member 102 and second pair support member 104 for form (for example cutting) first pair from from one piece can support when member 102 and second pair are supported member 104 seated connection and provide gap along the adjacently situated surfaces of abtting joint in one or more positions at first pair.In another embodiment, more than being just formed at first pair of first surface 112 that supports member 102 and second pair between the first surface 120 of member 104 with the Geng great gap, gap that blade width (such as otch) forms.These gaps can help abtting joint 100 to discharge, as discussed herein, to allow that first pair is supported member 102 and second pair and support member 104 and move in an arched path.Due to the cause in gap, teat 106 (such as volume of teat 106) is less than the socket 118 of abtting joint 100.This allows that teat 106 is assembled in the space of being defined by socket 118.

Also first pair be can deliberately be formed for defining and member 102 and second pair of gap of supporting between one of surface of member 104 or many persons supported.For example, when first pair of teat 106 seated connection that support member 102 is in the time supporting in the socket 118 of member 104 for second pair, a space with reservation shape and size can be present in first pair of first surface 112 that supports member 102 and second pair and support between the first surface 120 of member 104.Fig. 1 D has shown such embodiment.Other embodiment are also possible.As herein, by more complete work discussion, this space with reservation shape and size can help first pair to support member 102 and second pair and support member 104 and separate and do not need first to separate the end 110 of teat 106 and the second end 134 of socket 118 along the arch path of dividing a word with a hyphen at the end of a line.

In the time that first pair of teat 106 seated connection to member 102 is in second pair is supported the socket 118 of member 104, first pair of the first shoulder surface 138 of supporting member 102 contacts second pair of the first shoulder surface 144 of supporting member 104.In the time that first pair of teat 106 seated connection to member 102 is in second pair is supported the socket 118 of member 104, first pair of the second shoulder surface 140 of supporting member 102 also contacts second pair of the second shoulder surface 146 to member 104.As more completely discussed herein, in the time that first pair of teat 106 seated connection to member 102 is in second pair is supported the socket 118 of member 104, this contact on shoulder surface 138,144,140 and 146 contributes to again to guide the shearing force (such as being orthogonal to the power of takeing on surface 138,144,140 and 146) applying via teat 106 and supports member 102 and second pair of compressive force to the longitudinal axis of member 104 (such as power is redistributed in the set of member 102 and 104) to be become by guiding at least partially along first pair.

8110 and 8114 of fastener 8100.Be appreciated that and will discuss herein, the cross-sectional area of the part through

opening

8110 and 8114 of fastener 8100 and the area being defined by the first oblong opening 8110 in the first predetermined state and the second oblong opening 8114 are not accurate to and make the first elongated segment 876 and the second elongated segment 877 fetter and cannot relative to each other slide and take up the degree that firmware 8100 rotates.

In the first predetermined state, a part of entity of a part for first surface 8108 and second surface 8112 is contacted with the fastener 8100 through opening 8110 and 8114.In other words, the part on the part on surface 8108 and surface 8112 is taken a seat or leans on the part propping up through the fastener 8100 of

opening

8110 and 8114 under the first predetermined state.

As shown in Figure 7, the first elongated segment 776 comprises that first pair comprises that to member 702 and the second elongated segment 777 second pair is supported member 704, as discussed herein.In the first predetermined state, first pair is supported member 702 and second pair and supports member 704 entities contacts, and a part for a part for first surface 7108 and second surface 7112 contacts with fastener 7100 entities.In other words,, when engagement member 774 is during in the first predetermined state, first pair is supported member 702 and second pair and supports member 704 to supporting or seated connection.Fig. 8 shows that the first couple in the first predetermined state supports member 802 and second pair and supports member 804, wherein props up each other supporting

member

802 and 804 seated connections, as discussed herein.

Once again with reference to Fig. 7, when engagement member 774 is in the first predetermined state or not when folded state, and a structural load 7134 that is applied to engagement member 774 causes first pair to support member 702 and second pair and support member 704 (for example, each apply a compressive force to another one to supporting member 702 and 704) under compression.Meanwhile, the part on the surface 7108 of the first oblong opening 7110 and the surface 7112 of the second oblong opening 7114 applies the part through

opening

7110 and 7114 of a shearing stress to fastener 7100.For example, the shearing stress in the first predetermined state is applied to fastener 7100 by the first end 7116 of first surface 7108 (7116-A) and both first surfaces of second surface 7112 (7116-B).Therefore,, in the first predetermined state, fastener 7100 can not move freely along the longitudinal axis 7122 of the first oblong opening 7110 and the second oblong opening 7114.Result, structural load 7134 is maintained on engagement member 774 in the first predetermined state, and it has the first couple who contributes to the shearing stress through the part of

opening

7110 and 7114 that is applied to fastener 7100 to be offseted (offset) and support member 702 and second pair and support the compressive force of member 704.

As shown in Figure 7, the first oblong opening 7110 and the second oblong opening 7114 have Long Circle shape, and this Long Circle shape has the longitudinal axis 7120 (major axis) longer than minor axis 7124.The longitudinal axis 7120 and minor axis 7124 can respectively relative to each other have symmetry.The longitudinal axis 7120 is longer than minor axis 7124.For example, the longitudinal axis 7120 length are positioned at the scope of 10.0: 1.0 to 1.1: 1.0,8.0: 1.0 to 1.1: 1.0 or 5.0: 1.0 to 1.1: 1.0 for the ratio of minor axis 7124 length." axle/axis " used herein may not imply symmetry, but for one or more embodiment, oblong opening can be around major axis, minor axis or two axial lines symmetry." axle/axis " used herein means a straight line, can imagine that the geometric properties such as a such as oblong opening can be around this straight line rotation.

Size and/or the amount of the structural load that can be intended to carry based on one or more engagement members 774 (for example having more than one engagement member 774) are selected the size of the first oblong opening 7110 and the second oblong opening 7114 and size and the shape of shape and fastener 7100.

As shown in Figure 7, the first end 7130 of the first elongated segment 776 further comprises a surface 7136, this surface 7136 is defined an arc, is a semicircle in this example, and the first end 7132 of the second elongated segment 777 further comprises a surface 7138, surface 7138 is defined an arc, is a semicircle in this example.The

surface

7136 and 7138 that presents arc shape allow that the first end 7130 of the first elongated segment 776 or the first end 7132 of the second elongated segment 777 relative to each other move and not with to supporting

member

702 or 704 or be likely arranged on floor in elongated segment 776 and/or 777 and produce and interfere.For example, along with engagement member 774 changes to the second predetermined state from the first predetermined state, the first end 7130 of the first elongated segment 776 can support member 704 with respect to the second couple in the second elongated segment 777 and move.The shape on surface 7136 is held one and is not supported with the second couple in the second elongated segment 777 path of dividing a word with a hyphen at the end of a line that member 704 contacts.Being shaped as beyond arc is possible, and includes but not limited to polygon, non-corner shape and combination thereof.

As discussed herein, Fig. 8 shows in can be described as not the first elongated segment 876 of the engagement member 874 of the first predetermined state of folded state and the embodiment of the second elongated segment 877.In the first predetermined state, the first oblong opening 8110 and the second oblong opening 8114 have the minimum for the overlapping amount in many positions between the second predetermined state with respect to engagement member 874 (being shown in Figure 12 and more complete being discussed at herein) and first and second predetermined state and overlap.Definite, be approximately the cross-sectional area through the part of the fastener 8100 of

opening

8110 and 8114 for the overlapping amount shown in Fig. 8 of the first predetermined state.In one embodiment, the area of overlapping equals the cross-sectional area through the part of the fastener 8100 of opening 8110 and 8114.The arbitrary embodiment discussing for this section, the first oblong opening 8110 and the second oblong opening 8114 have also defined the shape corresponding with the cross sectional form of the part through the fastener 8100 of

opening

8110 and 8114 when in its first predetermined state.

Fig. 8 has also shown the relative position that is supported member 802 and second pair and support member 804 by seated connection the first couple of the first predetermined state.As shown in the figure, in the first predetermined state, the first elongated segment 876 of engagement member 874 comprises with first pair supports the first member end 8140 that member 802 is relative.Similarly, the second elongated segment 877 of engagement member 874 comprises with second pair to the relative second component end 8142 of member 804.In the first predetermined state, as shown in Figure 8, the distance between the first member end 8140 of the first elongated segment 876 and the second component end 8142 of the second elongated segment 877 provides the extreme length 8144 of the engagement member 874 defining.As the discussion for doing with reference to Figure 11 A to 11E, along with engagement member 874 changes to the second predetermined state from the first predetermined state, the distance between the first member end 8140 of the first elongated segment 876 and the second component end 8142 of the second elongated segment 877 is no more than defined extreme length 8144.

The first member end 8140 of the first elongated segment 876 is connected to the first siding track 889 by the first hinge 882.Similarly, the second component end 8142 of the second elongated segment 877 is connected to the second siding track 891 by the second hinge 890.Fig. 8 has also shown the extreme length 8144 of engagement member 874.As shown in Figure 11 A to 11C, engagement member changes (such as folded state) and engagement member and there is no any part and extend beyond the extreme length 8144 defining its first predetermined state from its first predetermined state (for example not folded state) to its second predetermined state.

Fig. 8 shows in the time that engagement member 874 supports a structural load 8134, and power is distributed to cause first pair to support member 802 and second pair and support member 804 and apply a shearing stress to fastener 8100 in the surface 8116 of compression and first and second oblong opening 8110 and 8114.Also may be due to the cause of engagement member 874 supporting constructions loads 8134, make the

end

8140 and 8142 of the first elongated segment 876 and the second elongated segment 877 can apply respectively a compressive force and prop up its

siding track

889 and 891 separately.

Fig. 8 further shows: along with structural load 8134 is held on engagement member 874 in the first predetermined state, the first couple under compressive force supports member 802 and second pair of surface 8108 and 8112 from

hinge

882 and 890 to fastener 8100 that support member 804 and apply shearing stress by prevents that engagement member 874 from bending or extremely any significant degree of deflection.

The first couple under compressive force supports member 802 and second pair of static interaction of supporting member 804 and apply the surface 8108 and 8112 of shearing stress by

hinge

882 and 890 to fastener 8100 allows that engagement member 874 of the present disclosure carries structural load 8134 (for example, as specified in iso standard 1496).

Fig. 9 A and 9B have shown the folding cargotainer 9150 of a reversible type according to one or more embodiment of the present disclosure in partial view.In Fig. 9 A and 9B, multiple parts of the folding cargotainer 9150 of reversible type are removed (for example, part, the part of door assembly etc. of part, antetheca and the rear wall of the part of roof structure, the part of side wall construction, floor panel structure) to allow clearer position and the relative position of seeing engagement member 974, it is in this embodiment as the beam member of the folding cargotainer 9150 of reversible type.The folding cargotainer 9150 of reversible type shown in Fig. 9 A is with not folded state demonstration.

As shown in Figure 9 A, the folding cargotainer 9150 of reversible type comprises the first corner post 9152-1, the second corner post 9152-2, triangular prism 9152-3, and quadrangular prism 9152-4.Corner post 9152-1 to 9152-4 is rigidity and the vertical support of folding support loading not.In addition, corner post 9152-1 to 9152-4 has abundant intensity to support the weight that is stacked on the several cargotainers that other load completely on the folding cargotainer 9150 of reversible type.Each in corner post 9152-1 to 9152-4 comprises a corner casting 9154 (9154-1 to 9154-8).Corner casting 9154-1 to 9154-8 can be used to for gripping, move, placing and/or the folding cargotainer 9150 of affixed reversible type.In one embodiment, corner post 9152-1 to 9152-4 and corner casting 9154-1 to 9154-8 meet the iso standard for cargotainer, such as iso standard 688 and iso standard 1496 (and correction of ISO1496), and other.In folded state not, the predetermined maximum width 9155 of the folding cargotainer 9150 of reversible type is eight (8) feet (measuring from corner casting), as the 5th edition 1995-12-15 defined of ISO668.

The folding cargotainer 9150 of reversible type also comprises the first bottom side rail 9156-1 and the second bottom side rail 9156-2.As shown in the figure, the first bottom side rail 9156-1 is between the first corner post 9152-1 and the second corner post 9152-2, and the second bottom side rail 9156-2 is between triangular prism 9152-3 and quadrangular prism 9152-4.The folding cargotainer 9150 of reversible type further comprises on first siding track 9158-2 on siding track 9158-1 and second.On first, siding track 9158-1 can be between the first corner post 9152-1 and the second corner post 9152-2.On second, siding track 9158-2 can be between triangular prism 9152-3 and quadrangular prism 9152-4.

The folding cargotainer 9150 of reversible type further comprises according to engagement member 974 of the present disclosure.As shown in the figure, first and second bottom side rail 9156-1 and 9156-2 engage by two or more engagement members 974.When the folding cargotainer 9150 of reversible type is during in folded state not, engagement member 974 is as " beam member " in the folding cargotainer 9150 of reversible type.When as beam member, engagement member 974 serves as the beam for helping to carry the structural load on the floor panel structure that is placed in the folding cargotainer 9150 of reversible type.For this reason, exposure member 974 of the present disclosure can help to carry the structural load of specifying as iso standard 1496.But, being different from typical beam member, engagement member 974 of the present disclosure can be reversibly folding on lateral with the longitudinal axis 9162 with respect to upper and bottom side rail 9156 and 9158 with helping the folding cargotainer 9150 of reversible type subsequently.

Referring now to Fig. 9 B, show in the reversible type folding cargotainer 9150 of part under folded state at least.As shown in Figure 9 B, the engagement member 974 of the folding cargotainer 9150 of reversible type is folded in the volume 9164 being defined by the folding cargotainer 9150 of reversible type.Along with engagement member 974 is folding, corner post 9152-1 to 9152-4 and corner casting 9154-1 to 9154-8 are furthered together by side direction.Once again, can be at least partially owing to there is engagement member 974, realize the folding cargotainer 9150 of reversible type (such as Fig. 9 A) it " foothold " (such as area) that never folded state starts and this kind of volume 9164 and reduced.

As more completely discussed herein, the major obstacle that engagement member 974 of the present disclosure overcomes not only has as helping to support the constructive elements of load of specifying as iso standard 1496 or the ability of beam, also be that it is converted to folded state engagement member 974 and there is no any part and extend beyond it as the surprising ability of the restriction extreme length 9144 being defined in folded state not for it in folded state not.This of engagement member 974 limits extreme length 9144 and can be the restriction extreme length of engagement member in folded state not.Therefore, engagement member of the present disclosure never folded state be converted to folded state and do not cause any part (for example helping to define the engagement member end that limits extreme length) of engagement member to extend beyond it and limit extreme length.Result, the folding cargotainer of reversible type never folded state changes to folded state, extends beyond its measured predetermined maximum width 9155 of the predetermined point in each in anta 9152 after two and the folding cargotainer of reversible type there is no any part.Predetermined point in each in rear corner post 9152 can be corner casting 9154 (for example as maximum width measured between the outside face of corner casting 9154-4 and 9154-2).This problem is as below presented.

With reference to the 10th figure, show the end elevation of a cargotainer 10166.Cargotainer 10166 shows with part figure, and multiple parts (such as wood covering), side wall construction, end frame (such as antetheca and rear wall) and the door assembly that has wherein removed floor panel structure is with the clearer problem running into while attempting folding cargotainer 10166 that is presented at.Cargotainer 10166 does not comprise engagement member of the present disclosure, but shows the hinge 10168-1 to 10168-3 having for two parts (half portion) of connecting cross beam member 10170.Tradition idea is thought: hinge 10168-1 to 10168-3 should be as not only half portion of beam member 10170 being linked together and being connected to the bottom side rail 10156-1 of cargotainer 10166 and 10156-2, also allowing that beam member 10170 is folded to the supporting member in the volume 10164 of cargotainer 10166.

Beam member 10170 can have multiple different shape of cross section.This shape of cross section can comprise casing shape (such as rectangle or square), C flute profile road, Z beam and I beam shape of cross section.As shown in the figure, the surface 10172 that these shape of cross sections are allowed beam member 10170 in the time of folded state is not each other to supporting.When to support time, the surface 10172 of beam member 10170 becomes under compression, by the help from hinge 10168-1, in the time that structural load is placed on the floor of cargotainer 10166, prevent that the upper surface 10174 of beam member 10170 from extending plane 10716 belows.Plane 10716 is an imaginary flat surfaces, one engage wantonly 2 straight line by complete bit thereon.So in the present embodiment, wantonly two on the upper surface 10174 of beam member 10170 named a person for a particular job and is arranged in plane 10716.

As shown in the figure, the storing of hinge 10168-1 to 10168-3 seems to allow that the floor panel structure of cargotainer 10166 is folded in predetermined maximum width 10155.But really not so.As shown in the figure, the beam member 10170 of cargotainer 10166 is positioned at not folded state and has a predetermined maximum width 10155.Also demonstrate and in cargotainer 10166, have three hinge 10168-1 to 10168-3, it seems to allow that the beam member 10170 of cargotainer 10166 is folded in the volume 10164 being defined by cargotainer 10166.Inspect the relative position of three hinge 10168-1 to 10168-3, have a right-angled triangle 10178 angle of (showing with hachure).Right-angled triangle 10178 comprises hypotenuse 10180, and hypotenuse 10180 is all longer than the first square edge 10182 of right-angled triangle 10178 or the second square edge 10184.Be appreciated that the second square edge 10184 length are larger, hypotenuse 10180 is longer.

Also can find out: in folded state not, both length of the first square edge 10182 helps to define the predetermined maximum width 10155 of cargotainer 10166.Now, along with cargotainer 10166 never folded state start to fold, the width of cargotainer 10166 must become and be greater than predetermined maximum width 10155 to adapt to the length of hypotenuse 10180.So, if beam member 10170 moves along direction of travel 10186, to not have enough width to move from or to move back to not folded state (for example, the floor of cargotainer 10166 is parallel to the situation of plane 10716) for the two parts that form beam member 10170.This problem is referred to herein as " hypotenuse problem ".

Be forced to move along direction of travel 10186 if form two parts of beam member 10170, the integral width of cargotainer 110166 must increase and exceedes its predetermined maximum width 10155.Therefore,, when container is when never folded state is converted to folded state, it is desirable to that container width is not expanded and exceed its not predetermined maximum width 10155 in folded state.

Be forced to move along direction of travel 10186 if form two parts of beam member 10170, following at least one situation may occur: the integral width of (1) cargotainer 10166 must increase and exceedes its predetermined maximum width 10155; (2) part of formation beam member 10170 will be forced to (elasticity or non-resilient) bending or distortion; And/or (3) first, second and/or the 3rd hinge 10168-1,10168-2,10168-3 are by distortion and/or break.In the time that structure 10188 and cargotainer 10166 are used in conjunction with, (should have regular length and/or the width that cannot or should not extend beyond the predetermined maximum width 10155 of cargotainer 10166 such as each in roof structure and/or side direction stay bolt member), it is more obvious that these problems will become.The example of this side direction stay bolt member can include but not limited to be used in the cable, structural beams, bar and/or the pipe that in folded state not, help stay bolt and support cargotainer 10166.As understood, one or more in these structures (such as one or more and/or beam member 10170 and other structures) in roof structure, a side direction stay bolt member, hinge can along with cargotainer 10166 never folded state start folding and impaired.

No matter what there is, it is almost confirmable having something: the hypotenuse problem that cargotainer 10166 expansions of discussing herein exceed its predetermined maximum width 10155 can cause cargotainer 10166 (such as hinge 10168-1 to 10168-3 and/or beam member 1070) to weaken, make its no longer can support load (for example, no longer according to the ISO standard), therefore make cargotainer 10166 be not suitable for its intended purpose.Therefore,, when container is when never folded state is converted to folded state, it is desirable to container width and do not expand and exceed its predetermined maximum width 10155 in folded state not.

The engagement member using in the folding cargotainer of reversible type of the present disclosure contributes to solve the hypotenuse problem of discussing herein.As discussed in this article engagement member allow the folding cargotainer of reversible type never folded state be converted to folded state and do not expand the predetermined maximum width exceeding in folded state not.As discussed herein, engagement member is configured by this way, during folding process, makes the length of hypotenuse change (for example being adapted to).From folded state, container can change back to not folded state and be therefore that reversible type is folding.

In addition, when a structure and the folding cargotainer of reversible type (for example, such as a roof structure and/or a side direction stay bolt member) while being used in conjunction with, engagement member allows that the folding cargotainer of reversible type is reversibly folded in the regular length and/or width of structure.The example of this structure can include but not limited to: cable, and structural beams, bar and/or pipe, it can be used to help in folded state not stay bolt and supports the folding cargotainer of reversible type.To understand as read the disclosure: these structures (such as one or more and/or engagement member and other structures) in roof structure, side direction stay bolt member, hinge will can be not impaired when never folded state folds at the folding cargotainer of reversible type.

As discussed herein, engagement member is configured in the following manner, during folding process, makes the length of hypotenuse change (for example adapted to), prevents by this damaging engagement member, be associated hinge and structure (for example 143).From folded state, the folding cargotainer of reversible type can change back to not folded state and be therefore that reversible type is folding.

In cargotainer 9150 as folding in reversible type, use, engagement member 974 can be used as beam.Herein, beam is a kind of structural elements that can mainly bend to bear load by opposing.For different embodiment, engagement member 974 can be configured to the beam of the folding cargotainer 9150 of reversible type or the some of beam.But except as beam, engagement member 974 of the present disclosure also allows that the folding cargotainer 9150 of reversible type is folding.In folded state time, the folding cargotainer of reversible type occupies than the less volume of the folding cargotainer of reversible type in folded state not.So when in folded state, structure occupies than less volume and/or the area of structure in folded state not.

Another remarkable advantage of the engagement member 974 using in the folding cargotainer 9150 of reversible type of the present disclosure is the surprising ability folding in its restriction extreme length at the engagement member extreme length of engagement member (for example limit extreme length can be).This of engagement member 974 limits extreme length and can be the restriction extreme length of engagement member 974 in folded state not.Therefore, engagement member of the present disclosure never folded state is converted to folded state, and does not cause any part (for example contributing to define the end of the engagement member that limits extreme length) of engagement member 974 to extend beyond its restriction extreme length.Following discussion has helped by contributing to further to differentiate engagement member of the present disclosure the problem overcoming.

Referring now to Figure 11 A to 11E, it has shown that engagement member 1174 changes from the first predetermined state to the second predetermined state and engagement member 1174 there is no any part and extends beyond its predetermined maximum 11144.Between this tour, the first oblong opening, the second oblong opening and fastener can relative to each other move, identical to member 1102 and second pair of situation of supporting member 1104 with first pair.This relative motion contributes to make engagement member 1174 to change (such as folded state) from the first predetermined state to the second predetermined state, limit and do not expand to exceed the predetermined maximum width providing in extreme length 11144 or the first predetermined state, simultaneously also not bending or infringement engagement member, can pivotable connect the structure of (such as hinge) or container, as discussed herein.In other words, this relative motion has the effect that overcomes hypotenuse problem discussed in this article.

The mode that engagement member 1174 can make the assembly of the folding cargotainer of reversible type not extend beyond its predetermined maximum width (such as iso standard width) folds.Engagement member 1174 has the attribute of compound hinges.Definite, engagement member 1174 has folding at engagement member 1174 and/or removes the rotation axis of the two unique and separation that used during folding.

Figure 11 A to 11C demonstration is connected to the first elongated segment 1176 of the first bottom side rail 11156-1 and is connected to the second elongated segment 1177 of the second bottom side rail 11156-2 by the second hinge 1182-2 by the first hinge 1182-1.Figure 11 A to 11C has also shown by the fastener 11100 through first and second

oblong opening

11110 and 11114 engages respectively the first beam 11102 and the second beam 11104.Fastener 11100 is shown in Figure 11 A to 11C with cross-sectional plane, with clearer demonstration along with engagement member 1174 from first predetermined or not folding position move towards the second predetermined or folding position, the relation of itself and first and second

oblong opening

11110 and 11114.

In Figure 11 A, show that engagement member 1174 has it at its first predetermined state and limits extreme length 11144.In this first predetermined state: first and second is to supporting

member

1102 and 1104 contacts; The overlapping of first and second

oblong opening

11110 and 11114 with respect to the second predetermined state (asking for an interview Figure 12) in minimum value; And the shape of cross section through the part of the fastener 11100 of first and second

oblong opening

11110 and 11114 has been defined on the surface 11108 and 11112 of the first beam 11102 and the second beam 11104.Figure 11 A has also shown the upper surface 11192 of first and

second beam

11102 and 11104.

Along with engagement member 1174 starts to fold, the different piece of engagement member 1174 moves, to rotate around predetermined pivot point (for example the first rotation axis), slide and/or convert relative position in the different phase of folding process with one or more other parts with respect to engagement member 1174.Referring now to Figure 11 B, show that engagement member 1174 starts from folding the second predetermined state towards as shown in figure 12 of its first predetermined state as shown in Figure 11 A.As shown in Figure 11 B, first pair is supported member 1102 and second pair and supports member 1104 and defined the first pivot point around the first rotation axis for the first elongated segment 1176 and the second elongated segment 1177.In other words, the first elongated segment 1176 and the second elongated segment 1177 are defined at first pair around the first pivot point of its rotation and support member 1102 and second pair of contact point supporting between member 1104.Rotation around this first pivot point can be caused by the power that is applied to engagement member along direction 11202 at least partially.

When the folding cargotainer 22500 of reversible type is when folded state (for example second predetermined state), side direction lock construction element 22602 can be through the beam case 22600 in bottom side rail 22518-1 and 22518-2.One example is shown in Figure 22 C and 22D.Side direction lock construction element 22602 can have the surface of having defined opening along side direction lock construction element 22602 in pre-position, and a pin 22610 can be by seated connection releasedly through this opening.In one embodiment, defined through the surface of the opening of side direction lock construction element 22602 and allowed that side direction lock construction element 22602 helps, with the restriction maximum width 22501 of eight (8) Foot of ISO668 the 5th edition 1995-12-15 defined, folding reversible type cargotainer 22500 is maintained to not folded state.

The roof structure 22504 of the folding cargotainer 22500 of reversible type further comprises beam case 22600, and beam case 22600 has the surface of defining an opening that can pass for side direction lock construction element 22602.The beam case 22600 of bottom side rail 22518-1 and 22518-2 and roof structure 22504 can help to define one minimum width in the time that the folding cargotainer 22500 of reversible type is positioned at its second predetermined state.Figure 22 D shows an example of this second predetermined state.

Roof structure 22504 can comprise the first roof panels section 22261, the second roof panels section 22263 and the 3rd roof panels section 22265.Roof structure 22504 is that reversible type is folding, as discussed in this article.For example, along with engagement member is folded in the folding cargotainer 22500 of reversible type,

roof panels section

22261,22263,22265 is also folding to the folding cargotainer 22500 of reversible type.Roof 22264 can be by siding track 22516-2 on siding track 22516-1 and second on one or more chain connections to the first.

The 3rd roof panels section 22265 can be located between the first roof panels section 22261 and the second roof panels section 22263.The 3rd roof panels section 22265 is by one or more chain connection to the first roof panels sections 22261 and the second roof panels section 22263.For one or more embodiment, described one or more hinges can be the flexion supporting members (a for example movable joint) extending along the longitudinal axis of roof structure.

At folded state not, each in

roof panels section

22261,22263,22265 can be basically parallel to each other (for example, each roof panels section can be basically parallel to engagement member under the first predetermined state).Under folded state not, roof can be referred to as smooth.Under the second predetermined state,

roof panels section

22261,22263 can be basically parallel to each other, and each in

roof panels section

22261,22263 is orthogonal to roof panels section 22265 substantially.At the second predetermined state, roof can be described as part rectangle.

For one or more embodiment, the folding cargotainer of reversible type comprises a floor surface 22266.Floor surface 22266 can comprise the first floor segment 22267 and the second floor segment 22269.Floor surface 22266 is that reversible type is folding, as discussed herein.For example, along with engagement member is folded in the folding cargotainer 22500 of reversible type,

floor segment

22267,22269 is also folding to the folding cargotainer 22500 of reversible type.Floor surface 22266 can be connected to multiple engagement members (for example adjacent with the first bottom side rail 22506-1 and/or the second bottom side rail 22506-2).The folding cargotainer 22500 of reversible type also comprises fork truck mouth 22524.Each fork truck mouth 22524 can be the corresponding opening in first and second bottom side rail 22518-1 and 22518-2.

As discussed, the folding cargotainer of reversible type never folded state is converted to the second predetermined state and does not make container expansion exceed not folded state.At folded state not, the folding cargotainer of reversible type can be considered in it and limits maximum width (for example not folding width) state, as Figure 13 finding.At the second predetermined state, the folding cargotainer of reversible type can have the width less than 60% of restriction maximum width.For example, at the second predetermined state, the folding cargotainer of reversible type can have limit maximum width 50%, limit maximum width 40%, limit maximum width 30%, limit maximum width 25% or limit 20% width of maximum width.Have as limiting in the example of 25% width of maximum width at the second predetermined state at the folding cargotainer of reversible type, four folding folding cargotainers of reversible type of warp can be stored in one not in the space of Foldable container.

Cargotainer can be exposed to multiple different power on boats and ships and/or carrier time.For example, it can be exposed to the motion of six-freedom degree on boats and ships: rolling (rolling), pitching (pitching), rise and fall (heaving), traversing (swaying), vertical shift (surging), and yaw (yawing).These actions can apply transversal thrust power on cargotainer, particularly so (are for example piled into the cargotainer of ten high complete loads) when it is outstanding in the time piling up structure.Roughly distortion wall of a container and end frame of these transversal thrust power.Referring now to Figure 23 A and 23B, the primary antibodie pushing strut member 23800 (will more completely be shown in herein) that demonstration can coordinate the door 23542 of cargotainer to use.Anti-pushing strut member 23800 comprises the first lug 23802 and the second lug 23804, and the two all extends from strut member 23806 is installed on a common direction.Strut member 23806 is installed and can be there is the microscler structure that comprises square or rectangular cross-sectional shape (as seen in Fig.).Install that strut member 23806 can weld and/or fastening (such as bolt or screw engage) to door 23542 (for example inner surfaces of cargotainer, as shown in Figure 22 A) so that the mode that the first lug 23802 of anti-pushing strut member 23800 and the second lug 23804 extend from the periphery edge 23809 of the door 23542 of cargotainer is installed anti-pushing strut member 23800.

The first lug 23802 and the second lug 23804 respectively have first surface 23810, and first surface 23810 has defined a recess 23812 with respect to second surface 23814.First surface 23810 and the second surface 23814 of each in the first lug 23802 and the second lug 23804 can be parallel to each other.When the door that is mounted to cargotainer is 23542 time, the recess 23812 of the first lug 23802 and the second lug 23804 can be in door reception across at least a portion of second wing 23603 of establishing hinge 23544, as this paper provides in the time closing and/or lock (door cam engages with cam holding element) position.When door is in the time closing and/or lock (cam of door engages with cam retainer) position, the first surface 23810 of the first lug 23802 and the second lug 23804 also can be directly adjacent at least a portion of (for example there is no intermediary agent structure) hinge second wing 23603 and/or contact with its entity.Similarly, when door is positioned at when closing and/or locking (door cam engagement in cam retainer) position, the second surface 23814 of the first lug 23802 and the second lug 23804 also can be directly adjacent to the corner post 23532 of cargotainer " U " shape channel-section steel 23549 and/or contact with its entity.As a result, when cam engagement is during in cam retainer, anti-pushing strut member 23800 can be directly adjacent to and/or be contacted with hinge 23544 and corner post 23532 both.

Each in the first lug 23802 and the second lug 23804 is included in the 3rd surface 23816 of extending between first surface 23814 and second surface 23810.The 3rd surface 23816 helps to define recess 23812.When door 23542 is positioned at when closing and/or locking (door cam engagement in cam holding element) position, the 3rd surface 23816 also can be directly adjacent to hinge 23544 second wing 23603 at least a portion and/or contact with its entity.

One of anti-pushing strut member 23800 can be mounted to respect to each hinge 23544 door 23542 (for example, each hinge 23544 has primary antibodie pushing strut member 23800) of cargotainer.In the time that the door 23542 of cargotainer is closed and locks (cam engagement of door is in cam retainer), anti-pushing strut member 23800 can help to stop the transversal thrust of cargotainer.For example, anti-pushing strut member 23800 can produce and contact with U-lag steel 23549 during pushing, to help door 23542 to remain parallel to the plane of corner post.Anti-pushing strut member 23800 also can be worked as the mechanical strees on the hinge 23544 that contributes to the door 23542 that as far as possible reduces cargotainer when door is closed and locks (cam engagement of door is in cam retainer).A kind of mode that realizes it is by making anti-pushing strut member 23800 produce and contact and hinge 23544 is pressed against to U-lag steel 23549 with hinge 23544 (for example second wing 23603), using hinge 23544 is remained in its identical relative position under non-pushing condition.

As discussed, on door 23542, use anti-pushing strut member 23800 to contribute to limit the impact of thrust pressure for cargotainer herein.When closing in it and when locking structure, anti-pushing strut member 23800 and locking lever contribute to maintain the relatively vertical position (for example maintain its rectangular shape resist outside thrust pressure) of door 23542 under pushing condition.In the time there is pushing, anti-pushing strut member 23800 can provide one " node ", and thrust pressure (such as side force) can be passed through moving into one's husband's household upon marriage 23542 through this node.These thrust pressures can be absorbed by the anti-pushing strut member 23800 on adjacent door, and/or are absorbed through locking lever via the end frame of cam, cam retainer and cargotainer.Use anti-pushing strut member 23800 tolerable cargotainer provided herein to meet the requirement of ISO1496 (the 5th edition 1990-08-15) and correction thereof together with cargotainer of the present disclosure and hinge.

Referring now to Figure 24 A and 24B, it has shown the embodiment (observing from " inner side " of cargotainer) of door 24542, and wherein anti-pushing strut member 24800 is oriented to adjacent with the hinge 24544 that is mounted to corner post 24532.Figure 24 A and 24B have also shown the anti-pushing block 24820 that is mounted to a 24542-1 and 24542-2.Anti-pushing block 24820 comprises that a key sheet 24822 and a groove 24824 are to receive releasedly key sheet 24822.As shown in the figure, key sheet 24822 from the one of door 24542-1 extend and groove 24824 from the two extension of door 24542-2, therefore in the time that the each cam 24560 in the two of the one of door 24542-1 and door 245422 is engaged in its cam retainer separately, key sheet 24822 can seated connection groove 24824 in (such as be positioned at groove 24824 completely).

Anti-pushing block 24820 contributes to limit the impact of thrust pressure for cargotainer.Anti-pushing block 24820 also contributes to maintain the end frame of cargotainer and the Symmetric Orthogonal of door 24542 during transversal thrust.As shown in the figure, anti-pushing block 24820 can be level and vertical plane surface transmission power in both whole three sides of groove 24824 (for example via).The Symmetric Orthogonal that this contributes to make a 24542-1 and 24542-2 to remain in isoplanar altogether and contribute to maintain end frame and door 24542 during transversal thrust.This also contributes to make two doors (24542-1 and 24542-2) as a macrostructure but not two absolute construction.

So the anti-pushing block 24820 using together with anti-pushing strut member 24800 and locking lever contributes to maintain the relatively symmetrical position (for example maintaining its rectangular shape resists outside thrust pressure) of door 24542 under pushing condition.For example, in the time there is pushing, anti-pushing strut member 24800 and anti-pushing block 24820 can provide " node ", and thrust pressure (such as side force) can be through this node transmission through moving into one's husband's household upon marriage 23542.These thrust pressures can be absorbed through locking lever through the anti-pushing strut member 24800 on adjacent door and/or via the end frame of cam, cam retainer and cargotainer.

Referring now to Figure 25 A to 25B, it has shown the extra embodiment of hinge 25544 of the present disclosure and corner post 25532.Figure 25 A shows the decomposition partial view of corner post 25532 of the present disclosure, " H " shape piece 25830 and hinge 25544.As shown in the figure, H shape piece 25830 can be located between the J-shaped bar 25547 and U-lag steel 25549 of corner post 25532.H shape piece 25830 can be fastened (for example welding) to corner post 25532.Definite, H shape piece 25830 can be soldered to the J-shaped bar 25547 of corner post 25532.In order to hold H shape piece 25830, the part of U-lag steel 25549 is removed, and wherein the edge of U-lag steel 25549 can be to supporting and being soldered to H shape piece 25830 according to wish.The H shape piece 25830 that is positioned at corner post 25532 tops and bottom also can be directly soldered to top and bottom accessory.

In the time that hinge 25544 is solidly connected to U-lag steel 25549, as discussed herein, H shape piece 25830 can contribute to protect hinge 25544 not to be subject to the power (such as accumulation force) of transmitting via corner post 25532.Definite, H shape piece 25830 can contribute to transmission power around hinge 25544.H shape piece 25830 is also as for a seated connection piece of hinge 25544, (for example, hinge 25544 can at one end lean in the opening of H shape piece 25830, and H shape piece 25,830 two other ends provide a unlatchings space for the pin 25832 that locks, as discussion herein.Therefore, H shape piece 25830 can contribute to protection locking pin 25832 and hinge 25544 the two.H shape piece 25830 also comprises the recess 25834 stretching into from the leg of " H ", and wherein these recesses 25834 contribute to eliminate the stress (confirming by finite element analysis model emulation) forming when cargotainer is piled up.
