  • An endless chain drive 23 and 25 is provided adjacent to the respective rail members 13 and 15.
  • the skate members being fitted with a downwardly projecting block 27 which forms a link in the chain drive so that movement of the chain drive causes each skate member to make a corres ⁇ ponding movement.

  • the skate members 19 and 21 are positioned as shown in Figure 3 of the drawings so that the recess 41 can accomodate the companion plate 35 and be retained in such a position by post member 43.
  • Operation of the chain drive causes the leading skate member to move forward until it makes contact with the leading companion plate 35.
  • the post member 43 pushes against the container companion plate 35 and slowly pushes the container and railway truck 31 forward to the correct position. Further forward movement causes the companion plate 35 to nestle into recess 41 on the respective skate member.
  • Continual movement of the skate member up the ramp lifts the leading end of the container clear of the railway truck.
  • the second skate member 21 is also linked to the chain drive and by the same operation lifts the trailing or rear end of the container.
  • a road transport truck may be positioned between the ramped framework and by reversing the direction of the chain drive the container may be transferred to the tray of the truck. Twist locks can be provided on the road truck to secure the container for transport.

Abstract

Un procédé permettant d'enlever un container d'un wagon de chemin de fer (31) consiste à ériger un moyen à rampe de support (11) du conteneur comprenant deux organes de rails espacés (13, 15), en élévation, ayant chacun une surface de rampe (13A, 15A) à une extrémité, ces organes de rails de rampe ayant un calibre d'épaisseur supérieur à celui de la voie de chemin de fer (17) sur laquelle se trouve le wagon, à monter un premier patin (19) sur chaque extrémité de ces surfaces de rampe, à prévoir une chaîne sans fin (23, 25) sur chacun des moyens de support à rampe du conteneur, des moyens d'entraînement étant prévus sur l'une de ces chaînes sans fin, le patin étant relié à cette chaîne sans fin et adapté pour se déplacer le long du rail lors du fonctionnement du moteur d'entraînement de la chaîne, à positionner ce wagon (31) et le conteneur entre ces extrémités des surfaces de rampe, à fixer une plaque de descente du container (35) sur les extrémités d'attaque et de fuite du container, à activer les moyens d'entraînement de la chaîne pour déplacer ce premier patin (19) vers la plaque de descente du container côté bord d'attaque, le mouvement vers l'avant continu du patin engage cette plaque de descente d'attaque du container et, avec l'inclinaison de la surface de rampe, soulève l'extrémité d'attaque du container en la dégageant du wagon, un second patin (21) associé à cette chaîne sans fin et remorquant ce premier patin (19) engage la plaque de descente de fuite du conteneur, le mouvement en avant continu du dispositif d'entraînement de la chaîne se traduisant par un soulèvement du container lequel est dégagé du wagon et est supporté par ces moyens de rampe de support du container.
