DE102004026531A1 - Securing system for containers on wheels to be used for transporting plants in van - Google Patents

Abstract

The containers (2) are designed as shelving units with four vertical posts (3) at their corners and four castors attached to the lower ends of the posts (3). The van is fitted with four rails (1) permanently joined to the bottom. When one or more containers (2) are loaded, a transversal bar (4) is positioned in front and behind the container (2) at approximately half its height. The bar (4) is joined (7) to the inner surface of the lateral panels of the van. Each of the bars (4) is provided with movable holding elements (5) to be combined with a stop in order to be clipped to the vertical posts (3).

Description

The Invention relates to the transport of standardized roll container with shelf-like structure, as in particular when transporting plants Find use.

For the transport of standardized roll containers, it is customary to arrange on the loading floor of vans rails for guiding the container rollers. To save the container it is from the DE-OS 1 580 658 known, between the container longitudinal rows, spaced from the loading floor at a corresponding height, to arrange separating rails. Between these separating rails securing rods can be inserted, which separate and secure the container transverse rows. This solution is specially designed for loading trucks of trucks. For the application in vans the solution is too expensive and prevents an immediate other use of the loading area.

It is therefore an object of the invention, a simple and variable manageable To provide a system for secure transport of roll containers, which Also applicable in vans, where, for example because of the internal wheel arches, placing and securing The roll container directly on the vehicle longitudinal walls is not possible.

These The object is achieved by a system having the features of the patent claim 1 solved. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

The Advantages of the invention are in particular that in the vehicle longitudinal direction, above the loading floor no securing means are required. As a result, no costly conversion is included a different use of the cargo area necessary. Nevertheless, it is the backup of individual, arbitrarily placed and freestanding Container possible.

One embodiment The invention is illustrated in the figures and will be described below described in more detail.

It demonstrate:

1 the schematic representation of a small transport

2 the detailed view of a safety bar with holding element in the open position

3 the detailed view of a safety bar with holding element in operative position

On the back of a pickup truck are guide rails 1 for roll containers that can be arranged in two rows 2 educated. In 1 is a roll container in the area of the rear of the vehicle 2 arranged free-standing, that is, it is spaced from the vehicle side walls. This spacing necessarily results from the internal wheel arches or the cross-sectional shape of the box body. The roll containers 2 have, as usual in plant containers, a shelf-like structure with four vertical bars located at the corners 3 on.

Between the vehicle side walls is a safety bar 4 solvable in medium container height. The attachment is made by a in the safety bar 4 sliding locking device 7 , On the safety bar 4 is a holding element 5 , as in 2 shown, slidably arranged. After placing the roll container 2 on the safety bar 4 becomes the retaining element 5 against the vertical spar 3 of the roll container 2 postponed and found ( 3 ). In conjunction with the on the safety bar 4 trained stop 6 there is a positive retention of the roll container. By receiving the roll container 2 in the guide rails 1 is a sufficient transport security ensured. Instead of the attacks 6 or additionally, on the safety bar 4 further holding elements 5 be arranged, which has another vertical spar 3 of the roll container 2 embrace.
