Description

For this 9 pages drawings

The invention relates to a shipping container for motorcycles and the like, with a frame-shaped bottom,

in particular wooden floor, with two longitudinal skids fixed on at least three transverse beams, of which, seen in the insertion direction of the motorcycle, the first is attached to the front section, the second to the center and the third to the rear section of the longitudinal skids a longitudinal center of the bottom arranged from the front

End to backward extending side guide for the front wheel of the motorcycle, with one at the front end of the motorcycle Soil above the lateral guide for the front wheel to this transverse, stationary wedge element, the one Abutment for the front wheel in the insertion direction of the motorcycle forms, with a longitudinally in the rear region of the bottom

arranged side guide for the rear wheel of the motorcycle and with the ground engageable straps for lashing the motorcycle on the ground.

The design of a shipping package for undisplaced motorcycles is basically difficult. The bike is over

Its shape, its weight (up to 500kg) and its external nature can not be repositioned and only set and transported vertically in Indian packaging.

Motorcycles are highly susceptible to thin sheet metal and plastic parts, especially because of their body design

against transport damage.

In commercial export business, motorcycles, mainly disassembled into individual parts, shipped in strong Wellpappkisten. Only a few manufacturers are in large series of the same types and dimensions motorcycles in running or

partially dismantled in Elnweg-disposable packaging for shipment.

To fix a motorcycle is basically necessary to lock the front and rear, then an oblique

(diagonal) bias with straps and / or a rigid attachment in the top of the enclosing package against

Walls and lids. A known shipping container derelngangs mentioned kind serves as a disposable packaging for roadworthy or partially dismantled BMW motorcycles of a specific type and will be destroyed after unpacking the motorcycle at the place of receipt. These Ve: sandverpackung has at the outer edges of the longitudinal skids vertical grooves for guiding the tension straps. That as Abutment in the direction of insertion of the motorcycle serving front wedge element is on the side guide for the front wheel

attached. The lateral guide for the rear wheel is mounted on additional transverse beams. When inserting the motorcycle would have the transverse beams forming barriers, with the application of a relatively high

Thrust one by one from the front wheel are rolled over in stages until the front wheel abuts the front wedge element. With heavy motorcycles such insertion is not possible even with several people. Therefore at the Packing on the assembly line, the motorcycles either with electric suspension trains in the Bodenrahmeri used or the Motorcycle is hydraulically raised in front of the ground by means of a platform in the plane in which the upper surfaces of the transverse

extending frame parts of the floor frame lie. At the same time continue to be the lower intermediate spaces between the transverse frame parts by firmly mounted in the bottom of the Aufsetzplatzes hydraulically liftable

Bridged compensation console to allow on this created level a retraction of the motorcycle. After this Retracting the motorcycle by lowering the compensation bracket with front and rear wheel in through the cross member

and longitudinal joints of the packaging tray for each type of motorcycle are prefixed differently with locking positions.

Then the bike can only be lashed and provisionally lashed, as at a final tight lashing the ground itself

Bananenförmlg would bend. In this form (with this deformation), the soil is neither transportable nor storable.

Therefore, before the final lashing of the motorcycles by means of the tension straps on the ground in this case to the Longitudinal skids and at the front and rear cross members side parts of plywood or wooden materials nailed, the

then stabilize it sufficiently.

For each type of motorcycle is the production of a shipping container corresponding floor construction and appropriate Size necessary. This type of packaging is only suitable for motorcycles of the same type, i. Same dimensions and only for a series packaging

with appropriate auxiliary devices and specialized personnel specialized in this packaging. It is by no means reusable.

In particular, in the wake of international tourism, there is a need for reusable packaging for any

not disassembled, ready to drive motorcycles of all sizes, types and equipment variants.

Will z. For example, if a tourist goes overseas for a vacation with his motorbike, he will have to return his motorcycle at the end of his vacation

can take home. As a rule, this will be air tourism, that is, the motorcycle will be carried in the cargo hold of the same aircraft with which the tourist travels. When starting the return flight, the packaging must be back to

To be available. The same problem arises for transport at sea or over land. Previous programs of airlines and tour operators failed because of the packaging problem and the

safe accommodation of motorcycles in the hold of the means of transport.

In the previously used in sea and air freight shipping disposable disposable packaging for the same, in large series

produced motorcycle types of certain manufacturers, have shown problems in that:

1. Type dimensions and training outlines become too varied,

2. at the receiving location, z. B. in Motcvradhändler Increasingly significant costs for the disposal of the full packaging arise.

The following goals have to be considered with regard to shipping packaging:

1. Safe and stable packaging for motorcycles of all types, sizes and weights with appropriate attachment options for the motorcycle,

2. the shipping container must be reusable

a) for reasons of cost savings and availability for packaging the motorcycle when the tourist returns; or

(b) to eliminate the need for costly disposal of large-volume disposable packaging (one-way packaging);

3. easy, safe and damage-free movement of the motorcycle into the package and out of it must be ensured

4. the shipping packaging must be easy to assemble and disassemble, without damage and without special aids and tools,

5. the assembly or disassembly should also be possible by the layman without special knowledge. The packaging should consist of only a few parts,

6. After assembly, no nuts, screws or other fasteners should be released. As the shipping packages are often transported to countries with different thread standards, a loss of parts of the shipping package would be serious,

7. When disassembled, the volume of the combined shipping container should be as small as possible. Several packaged packages should be stackable with each other. This applies to the storage as well as to a possible return without motorcycle,

8. the shipping packaging should be suitable for use with or without a wall, depending on the requirements of the means of transport,

9. Transport on roller and ball tracks as well as by industrial trucks should be possible

10. Stable and damage-free fixing and lashing of the shipping container in the cargo hold of an aircraft, in the airfreight or sea container or in other means of transport, in particular the space-saving accommodation and the corresponding provisions on the world standard lATA air freight pallets (cargo plates) for the lower holds the various passenger machines should be guaranteed.

The invention is therefore based on the object to make a shipping container of the type mentioned above so that it is able to meet the above claims in their entirety and in terms of their functional interweaving. This object is achieved in that the ground graded in height by a subframe and is rigid against the forces occurring in the lashing, wherein the subframe is set back to each end of the floor by a predetermined amount and two vertically disposed below the longitudinal skids, longitudinally Having joists, which are connected via spacers with the transverse beams of the frame, that longitudinally of the bottom is provided on the transverse beams mounted rolling floor, on which the lateral guides for the front or the rear wheel are mounted, that one at attached to the ground with a movable fastener wedge element for locking the motorcycle longitudinally slidably inserted into the guide of the rear wheel longitudinally and by means of an attacking on the guide continuously adjustable clamping device behind the rear wheel with in the insertion direction nder wedge surface is fixable and in a provided on the rear end face of the bottom recess in opposite to the insertion direction wedge surface as entry and exit ramp for the motorcycle is fitted, the difference in level between the upper surface of the rolling ground and the support plane of the subframe is bridged, and that provided on the ground attacking eyelets are attached to which the straps.

Advantageous developments of the shipping container according to the invention can be found in the claims 2 to 21. The shipping package according to the invention ensures a clamping in the longitudinal direction between the fixed front wedge element and the continuously adjustable rear wedge element without

a) the heavy motorcycle must be pushed over the arresting thresholds when passing through the bottom of the packaging,

b) the rear lock must be attached by loose screws behind the rear wheel at pre-fixed points. The shipping container according to the invention ensures lateral support and guidance of the motorcycle in the region of the front wheel through the two longitudinally extending wooden guide elements of the front guide and serving as an abutment wedge element in front of the front wheel. The rear wheel is also guided laterally by two metal angle rails forming the rear guide. To lock the motorcycle in the longitudinal direction, the rear wedge element is used with the designed for different wheelbases infinitely adjustable clamping device behind the rear wheel between the metal angle rails and attached to the metal angle rails by clamping.

Since the lateral guides for the wheels of the motorcycle on the longitudinally extending through the bottom frame Rolling bottom are attached, is a slight pushing in and pushing out of the motorcycle on the as an entry or exit ramp on the

rear end face of the floor adjustable wedge element and over the roll floor possible. The rolling floor forms a safe

Stand space for the motorcycle. The rolling floor may be lowered in the area of the front wheel, thereby providing a more effective Utilization of the height of the shipping container is possible, which is because of relatively high wind shields of motorcycles and

limited storage space · and door height is of importance in the aircraft cargo hold. The load is not here by a lower

Support as caught in the rear section of the floor, but by hanging the plywood surface on the

lateral guidance of the front wheel.

The subframe is at its four outer corners with the first and the third beam and with the upper longitudinal skids with Through screws connected. These four screws are on the obor side of the bottom with eyelets (nuts with above

molded ring).

These four eyelets simultaneously serve to lash the motorcycle on the ground and also the floor in the cargo hold,

if z. B. for Nahtransporte and in special cases on the box walls is omitted.

Preferably, the floor is in the direction of retraction on the left with a on the second and the third transverse beam

mounted stand board equipped for placing the lateral stand of the motorcycle.

This positioning of the motorcycle considerably facilitates the preparation of the lashing (introduction of the lashing around the Frame parts uew.), If only one person is active. To ensure a damage-free transport of the motorcycle, this must by a sheath up to a Minimum height of 60cm to be protected all around. The side ^s inventions are conveniently as a plug-in parts

intended holders of the soil used and in the upper part by corresponding holding devices as an abutment comprises.

A safe (even against Diagonalzug) attachment of this box-like. Sheath is set by vertically Tie rods with tension thread at the upper ends o.a. Means given, whereby in each case a connection of the Floor and the upper holding device is guaranteed. The receiving warehouses for this vertical bracing are eight steel sheet corners (in 3 levels), each of which is connected

a) at the lower 4 corners with the longitudinal skids and

b) at the 4 upper corners with the frame cross members. The frame cross beams can advantageously be non-releasably secured to the transverse walls of the box-like casing, so that when joining the longitudinal walls with the transverse walls, the respective steel sheet corners at the ends of the frame cross beams, each inside along the upper edges of the transverse walls are attached, which engage around in the corner abutting wall surfaces and at the same time engage lockingly with their stable metal nose in the associated groove in the upper edge of the respective longitudinal wall. After tensioning the respective bracing device associated with the steel sheet corners, an absolute fixation of the box-like casing on the floor is provided.

The four steel sheet corner pairs are each screwed by the vertical pressure of the screwed onto the connecting rods Ring nuts (eyelets) on the upper edge of the walls of the box-like casing and the underside of the floor

stretched against each other, and thus create an externally strong and lashable connection of the box-like

Sheathing with the ground. At the same time, the four screws on the upper corners of the box-like casing are formed as rings, the one

allow secure lashing in the hold.

Embodiments of the vertically acting Spannverblndungen are as follows:

1. A straight round or Flachelsen, which is secured at the bottom by a welded-on plate, with a threaded piece above the clamping screw is attached (disadvantage, not fold down, disturbing when the motorcycle enters the ground).

2. A tensioning device In the form of a forked joint, which is briefly bent over the upper edge of the ground. Thus, eliminates the need to pull out and loose Beilegens the threaded rod during disassembly (loss of risk). -.

Instead of the aforementioned fork joint connection, a simpler and more economical solution is possible: Instead of the fork joint is on the end of the protruding briefly from the soil Gewii.destange upright a mother

welded. Through this, a threaded rod angled by 9C ° is bolted to the bottom before final attachment. The vertical end of the threaded rod is so long that it protrudes above the top sheet corner on the cross member and can be screwed-there. After mounting this movable threaded rod unit removal of the long threaded rod is no longer possible. However, it can be turned into the horizontal.

Likewise, a solution is possible with the same effect, in which by the opening one from the Bodenkufe upwards

Outstanding eyebolt is inserted by a 90 ° angled connecting rod, on the just behind the

Passage by welding a plate o. Ä. A non-detachable, but movable connection is created.

3. The clamping connection can also be formed by arranged between the upper and lower receiving bearings and non-removable Zugfederanordnungen or tensionable chains.

Because of the ease of handling and the safe exclusion of the risk of loss is generally the angled To prefer rod connection in a welded nut or in the eyebolt connected to the bottom part It is thus an absolutely secure and stable box-like sheathing of the motorcycle up to the height

of about 70cm above the ground.

In this lightweight design is deliberately only side protection up to this height for weight saving reasons. Different heights of motorcycles can be neglected. A box-like casing of this height ensures a damage-safe juxtaposition of motorcycles

or also the juicing of other packages next to the motorcycle package on an air freight pallet or in a hold.

The erfindungsyemäße shipping container is in the same way advantageously only with higher walls and lid also

possible as full packaging. It is then correspondingly heavier and more expensive, but allows a stacking of

Packagings. The stack height is at least four units one above the other, which is important for general cargo shipments in the seagoing vessel The shipping container according to the invention is constructed so that after dismantling necessarily no loose screws, nuts

or other fasteners, as there may not be any tie-down elements with metric threads in the receiving countries.

The four upper eyebolts are attached to the frame crossbeams with enough long chains. The wedge with the Dual function, locking and driveway, is attached to the ground with a sufficiently long chain. All other Although connecting elements are to be solved according to their function, they can not be removed. For simple, even by the layman to be performed assembly and disassembly, the packaging is designed so that

1. this consists only of the floor and the four Aufsteckwandungen - no further loose parts,

2. the determination of the assembled parts and the determination of the displaceable rear wheel only by means of the mentioned eyelets. These can be tightened without tools by hand. If necessary, by inserting a rod-like object in the ring of the eyelet. Further glands or tensions are not required.

Globally standardized air cargo pallets (cargo plates) for the lower holds (IATA PALLET-PI) have a length of

224cm lashing slots in about 214cm length distance. Because of the usual motorcycle lengths is a length of

Packaging bottom under 232cm not sufficient. An accommodation of this floor on a 224cm long aircraft pallet

is permitted in this direction provided that the lashing straps or nets of the airline are inserted into the

Lashing slots (214cm distance) is possible. Here, the shipping container according to the invention allows due to the graded in height floor, in which the Subframe at each end jumps back even under 214cm, good ground clearance for bracing. This subframe has a height of at least 6cm and allows at this height under the longer upper frame Lashing straps or nets for fixing on the standard pallet plates. At the same time, lateral openings in the lower frame serve to retract floor conveyors. Due to the lattice-like construction, a bending strength of the very easily constructed frame is effected

(Weight saving airfreight). This is required against the effect of the lashing of the motorcycle on the ground

Forces and also in the movement of the light soil with e.g. Forklifts. Preferred embodiments of the shipping package according to the invention will now be explained with reference to the drawings. In

1 to 4, a first embodiment of the shipping prepackage for motorcycles ready for driving with a frame-shaped bottom 1 shows that has two spaced apart parallel longitudinal skids 2, which are mounted on three transverse to them beams 3 a to 3c. Seen in the insertion direction (arrow A) of the motorcycle 4 is the first transverse beam 3a at the front portion, the second transverse beam 3b in the middle and the third transverse beam 3c at the rear portion of the longitudinal skid 2 (see FIG and 2). As illustrated in FIG. 2, the frame-shaped bottom 1 is stepped in height by a sub-frame 5, which has two longitudinal beams 6 arranged below the longitudinal runners 2, which are connected to the transversely directed undercarriages 3 a, 3 b, 3 c of the frame 1 via intermediate pieces 7 are connected. The subframe 5 is set back at each end of the bottom 1 by a predetermined, equal amount. Preferably, the bottom 1 has a length of 232cm and the subframe 5 recessed at each end by the predetermined equal amount has a maximum length of 214cm. The combination of the frame-shaped bottom 1 and the sub-frame 5 provides a grid-carrier construction which is resistant to bending forces and thus can be safely stored at least 6 cm at the front end 8 of the longitudinal skids 2. At the longitudinal center of the ground 1, a rolling floor 10 is provided, which is fastened on supports 11, which are mounted on the transversely directed undercarriages β of the frame 1 As is apparent from Fig. 3, the upper surface of the rolling floor 10 is disposed below the plane in which di e bottom surface of Bodenquerholzes 9 is located. Longitudinally center of the roller floor 10 is provided by the front end extending rearward to the second transverse beam 3b extending lateral guide 12 for the front wheel 13 of the motorcycle 4, the lane boundary elements 14 are mounted on the rolling floor. The front end faces 15 of these lane boundary elements 14 abut against the bottom crosswood 9. As illustrated in FIG. 2, a wedge element 1 β extending transversely to the track boundary elements 14 is fastened to the floor crossbeam 9, the basement surfaces 17 of which are directed counter to the insertion direction A and which forms an abutment for the front wheel 13 of FIG Motoirades 4 forms in the insertion direction. The rolling floor 10 is, as Fig. 5 illustrates, lowered in the region of the front wheel 13, whereby a more effective use of the height of the shipping container is possible, which is because of relatively high wind deflectors of motorcycles and limited storage space · and door height in the aircraft cargo space of importance. In the rear area of the roller floor 10, a lateral guide 18 for the rear wheel 19 of the motorcycle 4 is arranged longitudinally in the middle whose track boundary elements are formed by two metal angle rails 20 fastened to the roller floor 10 (FIGS. 4 and 5) whose rear end faces 21 are in the direction of insertion A lie the plane of the rear end face 22 of the rolling floor 19.

8 shows a perspective view of a wedge element 22 serving as an entry or exit ramp for the motorcycle 4 (see FIGS. 1, 2, 6 and 6) or as a fixation for the rear wheel 19 of the motorcycle 4 (see FIG ,

The wedge element 22 is suitably longitudinally slidably insertable into the lateral guide 18 of the rear wheel 19 with a wedge surface 23 pointing in the insertion direction A, as a result of which motorcycle types of different lengths can be fixed longitudinally in the shipping package. The wedge element 22 can be fixed by means of a continuously adjustable clamping device 24 on the lateral guide 18 for the rear wheel 19. This clamping device 24 has on both sides of the Kellelementes 22, a movable angle segment 25. The angle segments 25 are mounted on a horizontally extending by the wedge element 22 threaded rod 26 and clamped by means of captively guided eyebolts 27 on the metal angle rails 20 of the rear lateral guide 18. The wedge member 22 is formed recessed on its side opposite the wedge surface 23 side, that a below the upper surface 28 of the wedge member 22 ending collar 29 is given, in arrangement of the wedge member 22 as input and Ausfahrrampe for the motorcycle 4 pointing in the insertion direction A. Wedge surface 23 in a provided on the rear end surface 30 of the bottom 1 recess 31 is fitted such that the difference in level between the upper surface 32 of the roller base 10 and the support plane of the subframe 5 is bridged and the upper surface 29 of the wedge member 22 and the upper surface 32 of the rolling floor 10 lie in one plane (see figures 5 and 6). By a chain 33 which is attached at one end to one of the eyebolts 27 of the clamping device 24 and at the other end to the rear transverse beam 3c, the wedge member 22 is captively fixed to the ground. At the longitudinal skids 2 each a ring eyelet 36 is captively mounted above the ends of the first and the third transverse beam 3 a and 3c. At these four eyelets 36 straps 37 are fastened, with which the motorcycle 4 is lashed to the bottom 1 of the shipping container (see Fig. 6 and 7).

As is apparent from Fig. 1, - in the direction of insertion A to the left of the longitudinal axis of the floor - a parallel to the longitudinal runners 2 vollaufendes stand board 38 on the second and the third transverse beam 3 b and 3 c attached. Of importance is that all provided on the frame-shaped bottom 1 screwed captive, but nachziehbar are designed. Suitable straps for lashing the shipping package on standard IATA air pallets can also be passed through the eyelets 36. -.

Figures 9a and 9b illustrate a second embodiment of the shipping package, which, starting from the basic structure according to the first embodiment of the shipping container, with a bottom 1 releasably mounted box-like casing 39 is provided a height that allows damage-safe juxtaposition shipping motorcycles 4. The box-like casing 39 is composed of two longitudinal walls 40 as shown in FIG. 14 and two to these transversely directed walls 41 as shown in FIG. 15, the steckmäRlg and releasably connected to each other.

The two longitudinal walls 40 each have along their longitudinal edges on a reinforcing bar 42, which are connected at their ends in each case by transverse reinforcing strips 43. The longitudinal reinforcing strips 42 of the longitudinal wall 40 are slightly shorter than the latter, so that at both ends of the longitudinal wall 40 is provided over its height extending Steckwandungstell 44, whose thickness is less than the width of the longitudinal and the vertical reinforcing strip 42nd or 43 is.

Each transverse wall 41 of the box-like casing 39 has along its vertical edges 45, a first vertical reinforcing strip 46 and at a distance from this a second vertical reinforcing strip 47 that a plug-in receiving the Steckwandungsteile 44 of the longitudinal wall 40 suitable plug-in groove 48 is formed respectively. Along the upper transverse edge 49 of the transverse wall 41, a reinforcing strip 50 is provided between the two second vertical reinforcing strips 47. As illustrated in FIG. 15, the second vertical reinforcing strip is shorter than the first vertical reinforcing strip 46 of the transverse wall 41 by the height of the longitudinal reinforcing strip 42 of the longitudinal wall 40. At the lower four corners of the shipping package are respectively at the ends of the Longitudinal skids 2 steel sheet corners 51 attached, each comprising a part of the end face 52, the outer side surface 53 and the bottom surface 54 of the respective longitudinal skid 2 protrude above this and with the respective corner of the box-like casing 39 forming walls 40,41 these halternd engage.

Furthermore, in each case above the central transverse beam 3 b at each Längskufe 2 a steel plate angle 55 is fixed, one leg 56 in the plane of the outer side surface 53 of the Läng3kufe 2 projects vertically upwards and with the respective lower longitudinal reinforcing strip 42 of the longitudinal extending wall 40 of the sheath 39 additionally holds in a mating engagement. As shown in FIGS. 9a and 9b in connection with FIG. 10a, a front upper frame carrier 57 and a rear upper frame carrier 68 are plug-in and detachable respectively with the upper edges 59 on the front and rear end side of the box-like casing 39 in the insertion direction A. the upper front and upper rear corners 60 of the box-like sheath 39 forming walls 40,41 into engagement. At the ends 61 of the upper frame supports 57 and 58, steel sheet corners 62 (see Fig. 10a) each comprising the corresponding end face 63 and a part of the outer side face 64 and the upper face 65 of the frame cross member 57 and 58, respectively protrude the lower surface 66 of the frame member 67 and 58 and 67 and 58 between each other and the end face 63 and the outer side surface 64 of the frame member each form a plug-in 67, In the attached to the upper ends of the box-like casing 39 state of the upper Frame support 57 and 58, respectively, the respective reinforcing strips 42 and 46 of the corresponding upper corner of the casing 39 forming walls 40,41 are added. Each sheet steel corner 62 further includes a vertical, sturdy, metal tab 69 folded downwardly in the plane of the inboard side surface 68 of the upper frame cross member 57 and 68, releasably locked into a corresponding groove 70 in the upper edge 59 of the associated longitudinal wall 40 de. ' associated longitudinally extending upper reinforcing strip 42 engages. This additional locking causes a rigid connection of the walls even with diagonal thrust and pull.

From Fig. 10b is compared to the embodiment of Fig. 10a to the effect modified the box-like casing forming walls 40,41 shows that on the transverse walls 41 no first vertical reinforcing strip (see Fig. 16) and thus no plug-in groove is provided. Rather, on the transverse walls 41 on both sides of one of the second vertical reinforcing strip 47 shown in FIG. 10 a corresponding vertical, recessed reinforcing strip 47 a applied. The corresponding corner of the box-like casing is formed simply by attaching the respective longitudinal wall 40 to the recessed vertical reinforcing bar 47a (offset). The engagement of the vertical metal nose 69 of the respective sheet steel corner 62 at each end of the frame cross beams 67 and 58, respectively, which may be secured to the corresponding transverse wall 41, into the associated groove 70 in the corresponding longitudinal wall 40 provides for one excellent attachment of the walls 40 and 41 together at the respective corner of the box-like casing 39. $ i

As FIGS. 9a and 9b and 11 to 13 illustrate, the walls 40, 41 forming the box-like casing 39 are firmly but releasably braced by means of vertically acting clamping devices 71 with the base 1. The bracing 71 engage, as seen in the direction of insertion A, respectively at the rear end of the longitudinal runners 2 and the associated end of the rear upper frame cross member 58 and at the ends of the attached to the longitudinal runners 2 Bodenquerholzes 9 and the associated ends of the front upper frame member 57, on the one hand on the upper surface 72 of the longitudinal skid 2 at the rear end 73 and on the upper surface 74 of Bodenquerholzes 9 at the ends captive, but nachziehbor attached eyelets 75 and on the other hand to the associated ends 61 of the upper rear and the upper Preferably, the tensioning device 71 according to FIGS. 9b and 11 is formed by a connecting rod 77 which has at its lower end a relatively short leg 78 which is bent at right angles and which is connected by the respective associated one Ring eyelet 75 at the corresponding end the longitudinal skid 2 is guided. At the upper end of the threaded rod 77, a clamping thread 79 is formed, which by a provided in the associated upper frame cross member 57 and 58 bore 80 and aligned with this bore 81 in the upper surface 65 of the frame cross member 57 and 58 resting

Leg 82 of the corresponding steel sheet corner 62 is guided and extends beyond the upper frame cross member 57 and 58 respectively. The clamping thread 79 of the threaded rod 77 is threadedly clamped to the associated Schraubringöse 76 on the upper frame cross member 57 and 68, wherein the respective lower and upper steel sheet corners 51 and 62 are pressed together firmly and Verwlndungssteif. If the box-like casing 39 is disassembled and the tensioning device 71 is thus in an inoperative state, then the threaded rod 77 is mounted captive upon pivoting into the horizontal on the corresponding longitudinal skid 2 and does not obstruct (see FIG. The detachable Schraubringösen 76 on the upper frame cross members 57 and 58 are secured by means of chains 83 to the frame cross members 57 and 58 captive.
