Description .

is the subject of the registered invention / generally eiae aeue and improved construction of a collapsible load bag container, as it is known internationally as "Van-C®ntainer" wind, d «h * about Mdbelwagengrdsse and the G-itej & eförderung with changing Serving means of transport; In particular, the invention aims at the construction of a Ladungsbeh.ilters from which effective Protection is offered especially to those parts which are very much exposed to the risk of damage and adornment in shipping are.

In shipping lines where the prospect of EÄckladuag for Containers are unfavorable, would be after containers that are at «ia minimum collapsible with minimal footprint and therefore can be shipped to another location at low cost, a There is great demand for it, provided that it is really useful ^., den Containers that meet today's requirements would exist »

Insofar as there are cargo containers that can be collapsed at all, these are limited to smaller sizes. It is perceived as a sensitive deficiency that the species that have become known so far of collapsible cargo containers prove to be too vulnerable Damage and warping proved. As a result, these leaks too quickly and were too short-lived, or required too high a value Repair costs

As can be seen from the specialist literature, there is a tendency the dimensions of cargo containers on a world-wide international level to standardize to Everywhere on railways »road vehicles and To fit ships »In the course of these efforts, the I * S.O" (International Organization for Standardization in Mustard) the dimensions of

- 2 8 puss (2.44m) H <She, 8 pusa (2.44m) width and 20 puss (6.10m)

LENGTH with deviation option in length to lt> Puss (3.05m) or 30 feet (9.15nO provisionally adopted. The UIC, i.e. the Union Internationale des Chemins de Per (the European railways) these norms are basically accepted, so that with the arrival of these furniture vans corresponding "van" sizes short or long is to be expected.

However, none of the collapsible cargo containers known to date would be operational with such dimensions. Because they all require manipulation of each individual part by hand in order to be folded up and set up again. Any container built according to the new IaO standards of reasonably good steel construction would have a weight of a bearing wall of about 200 kilos, the manipulation of which would be almost impossible with body force. At most, each individual piece would have to be handled separately with a crane, if this is at all possible. In order to be able to operate manually, the previously known types of collapsible containers were restricted not only to the size but also to the material thickness. Therefore they could

* ,? ■ container not robust gesag "to be built. The exceptionally roher- treatment of the container at the Stauereiarbeiten in the ports on the other hand requires extreme resistance. This problem becomes more serious, the heavier and large a container * A hanging above a ship's hold , freely swinging heavy load will always be exposed to a stronger impact than smaller and lighter units than smaller and lighter units are riveted; on the other hand, the edge connections on the collapsible container are made by joints, which can easily suffer deformation and thus destroy the watertightness and thus the usability »

None of the previously known collapsible or collapsible ones Container provides reliable protection against such damage. In addition there are further disadvantages of the previously known species ^ When together * divisible units, i.e. units to be dismantled into smaller parts fasteners are often lost. Various collapsible ones Container types have folded seams, e.g. across the roof or across the walls, which always result in sources of defects,

■ χ - is,

may these lines be connected by joints or in some other way. Such cuts or nips are particularly detrimental to the roof slightly the watertightness »the fewer movable parts there are are, the fewer sources of defects can arise. A typical one

An example of the overcomplicatedness of a collapsible cargo container is that according to JJSk patent 977.265 BIHfO. It has _: not only a section through the roof, but also a three-part system of the front longitudinal wall with folding and sliding devices for moving in and out, in and out a hollow double floor space, which does not allow sufficient support in the cavity for the upper floor slab loaded with Laduag. How a container built according to the new ISO dimensions should be erected practically with physical or other force appears to be problematic »

The present invention solves all of these problems.

üs the main purpose of the invention is an uncomplicated, error-proof CLAPPING (not dismantling) a cargo container to a minimum volume and also a simple wide up direction to enable. It is also the purpose of the invention to reduce the folding j and erecting it again with me ehnlai see lifting equipment, e.g. a Crane, whereby the crane rope only needs to be attached once to a specially designed sensor device and the whole operation by a single combined crane maneuver (first pull it up and then lower it) within a few minutes can take place · This now allows the container with the largest outlet and to make it collapsible »ι It is the core point of the present invention, constant operational safety, even under the roughest harbor treatment! to ensure, especially the edge connections, the gels-j ke unu the parts connected to the joints effective protection against! Received shock and warpage damage. This becomes permanent Watertightness and long service life guaranteed, and yet; the invented new design has a minimum of individual parts, none of which are dismantled from the container unit

The invention is based on the principle of an integral unit in which individual links are connected to one another by joints. Έϋτ the folding method when folding and re-erecting is based on a construction that is already the subject of another patent or patent application * iMHHMptf ** * ^

The above registration therefore represents an essential extension and improvement.

The Konstruk-4-etl-frwci-ig » to make this new application easier to understand, »is briefly summarized as follows: The roof is ait the two longitudinal walls, and'the bottom is with the two walls on the narrow sides, called "end walls" for short, articulated. These end walls are Folded on the floor · The rear LÄagswand lies on these front walls, the Dack lies on the latter and comes on top finally to lie the front longitudinal wall. The lower edge of the rear Longitudinal wall is articulated with an ileus, which in full lung of the operating range of the rear longitudinal edge of the same, in constantly stronger Position. The lower edge of the front LÄagswand can, if the Is set up in a cooler place, firmly anchored in the bed.

For a description of the present new application, please refer to the submitted Reference is made to 12 drawings. These drawings are intended to illustrate an embodiment v © n represent several implementation options based on the principle of the invention.

FIGURE I provides an overall perspective view of a preferred embodiment; the inside of a container is shown according to the concept of identification, namely in a vertical section through the diagonal, the dotted lines marked with II and III indicate the sections shown in Figures II and III, the arrows on the dotted lines find the direction of view of II or III.

FifiUR II shows a vertical section through the edge connection

that of the roof with the LÄagswand across the wall / length of the wall.

FIGURE III shows the same section as in FIG. II, roughly twice the scale, namely at that part to which one of the joints is attached (see dotted line III in FIG. I). The container is set up and therefore the joint is closed.

F IGUR III shows the same as in Figure III, but the joint is open, because the inside of the front wall is curved towards the underside of the roof.

F IGUR IV. ITT and IV are intended to be the type of barrel as it is the subject of a patent. at the time of this application, patent application is to illustrate. In Fig. IV the container is set up, in Fig. 11r the front longitudinal wall is pulled up together with the roof and the end walls are folded down on the floor. The line in which the roof and the rear longitudinal wall run already appears to be bent, both Container parts are already tending to sink. Figure ITr shows the same as in Figure IV ^ in the advanced position of sinking down, viewed in the direction of view of the rear side of the rear longitudinal wall.

FIGURE y indicates the vertical edge joints between the longitudinal walls and the end walls, in horizontal section in a sectional WiBe as shown by iii "V ^M in Fig _# l bezeichnete- dotted / line indicated"

F IGUR ¥ 1 and ¥ 1 shows the construction of the connection between the lower edge of the rear longitudinal wall on the one hand and a base, which is permanently attached to the floor in full floor length on the rear longitudinal edge of the floor. The connecting joints are closed in piggybacks - the container is erected; in Fig, YI * the articulated connection is open, - the rear longitudinal wall is folded down- »FIGURES VII and VII show the specially designed crane eyelets, two of which are attached to the outside of the upper part of the longitudinal wall. All four When not in use, eyelets can be retracted and are used when they are attached to a crane rope that runs in four ends: large crane rope; L to lift the container in the erected state or erecting, in Fig. VII these eyelets are seen in a vertical section from the side in the longitudinal direction of the wall; in Fig. VII they are seen from the front, in line of sight ng seen on the wall.

VII and VII, 25. shows ^a pair of preferably rectangular steel blocks, which are perpendicularly attached in their length to the outer wall head ends of the longitudinal walls in a corrugation (convex seen from the outside)

are pairs of bolts connected to one another in an arc like manner from above? they each pass through a vertical, tunnel-like cavity in the block 35 · 2Z ^is * a thickening of the lower end of the bolts 35 »in order to prevent the bolt brackets from being pulled completely out of the blocks when they are pulled up. These bolt brackets sink down if they are not specially pulled up. When pulled up, the eyes of the pairs of bolts, the crane eyes, are used to attach a crane rope in four ends that can lift the entire container leite »The lowering of the crane eyelets is, compared to the otherwise usual, hanging-down bag holder that swings 180 ° when needed, because it is now possible to place the container next to the container, the longitudinal wall close to the longitudinal wall, without a container to swing the crane around needs to be moved away first. "The guiding of the stirrups through hollowed-out steel blocks should" protect the stirrups from deformation.

As can be seen from these descriptions and the illustrations, a special hiring and preferred embodiment of the inventive idea is disclosed here, whereby the container based on these principles, which follows a significant leap forward in technology, means increased resistance of those 'files, especially at the corners, which are strong are exposed to impact damage, avoiding deformations that could cause the *** ⁴ * ^ "connections to ^{fail to seal« Diei s} achieves this by reinforcing the corners through the double action of sturdy profile pieces standing against each other and the joints in a strong housing from all Sides are protected and finally, with the container hanging on the rope j, the pull of the load emanating from the ground is not borne solely by the hinge axle 24, but is carried along by the profile pieces running through the entire lungs via 29 and 32. This is particularly the case Stabili required for large containers ity taken into account as far as possible.

Manipulation of the whole container when using the crane specially designed crane eyes, which are different from the usual swinging crane eyes, the Osenbügela protection offer against impact damage or distortion, and when the crane rope is attached to the crane eyelets on the front longitudinal wall, they can be easily folded up or if you want to set it up without having to do this Lifting eyes are a hindrance.
