Definitions

  • This invention relates to a rear-end connector for locating and restraining a freight container of International Standard dimensions, herein referred to as an ISO container, superimposed upon a transference rack of shorter length than the container.
  • ISO container International Standard dimensions
  • ISO containers are provided with top and bottom corner fittings of standard configuration and dimensions as specified in International Standard ISO 1161.
  • Each corner fitting includes a top or bottom face having a slot shaped locating aperture, and external side and end walls each having an oval lashing aperture.
  • Such containers are normally crane-loaded on to the platform of a transporter vehicle, which platform is provided with four conventional twistlocks each having a transversely elongate head disposed to be insertable in a respective one of the slot-shaped locating apertures of the bottom corner fittings. After location, the twistlocks are secured in engagement with the corner fittings by rotating their heads through 90° with respect to the longitudinal axis of the locking aperture.
  • a separate crane is conventionally used for loading and unloading the ISO container on and off the transporter vehicle, slinging chains being attached to the lashing apertures of the top or bottom corner fittings.
  • pallet type platforms have been adapted for use with vehicles having their own hydraulic loading system, the platform being provided with an upstanding A frame at its forward end which is engageable with a lifting arm of the vehicle's loading system.
  • This type of platform is herein called a load transference rack.
  • the A frame is lifted by the vehicle's lifting arm so as to both tilt the rack and to slide it rearwardly over the rear end of the vehicle platform to engage with the ground. Re-loading of the rack is achieved by a reverse procedure.
  • the rear end of the load transference rack is subject to considerable stresses during off-loading and the present invention seeks to provide an alternative rear-end connector of more robust and less expensive construction.
  • a rear-end connector engageable between the rear-end of a load transference rack as hereinbefore defined and a standard rear bottom corner fitting of an ISO container as hereinbefore defined, said bottom corner fitting having a locating aperture in its bottom face and a lashing aperture in its external side wall comprises: an extension member attachable to rear-end transverse face of the load transference rack by demountable attachment means; an upstanding spigot fixed to the extension member so as to be locatable within the said locating aperture, the spigot being provided with a tranverse keyhole aperture disposed for alignment with the said lashing aperture when the spigot is disposed in the locating aperture; and a key insertable into the aligned lashing and keyhole apertures.
  • the key is provided with an asymmetric radially extending handle which is rotatably engageable with a restraining latch disposed on the extension member for engagement when the handle hangs from the key under the influence of gravity.
  • the key may be provided with a restraining tongue engageable behind the external side wall of the corner fitting.
  • the demountable attachment means may conveniently comprise a coengageable slideway and slide arrangement.
  • FIG. 1, 2 and 3 comprises a load transference rack 1 having a transverse rear face 2 which is provided with an inset horizontal slideway 3 superjacent a standard ISO bottom corner fitting 4.
  • the bottom corner fitting 4 is engageable with a conventional twistlock fitting disposed on a transporter vehicle platform (not shown).
  • a standard ISO container 5 having a bottom corner fitting 6 which overhangs the rear face 2 of the rack.
  • the fitting 6 has a bottom face 7 provided with a locating aperture 8, and an external side wall 9 provided with a lashing aperture 10.
  • a hook-shaped extension member 15 having a pair of horizontally disposed slides 16 engaged in the slideway 3 and an upstanding spigot 17 dimensioned and disposed to locate in the locating aperture 8 of the corner fitting 6.
  • the spigot 17 is provided with a transverse keyhole 18 disposed to align with the lashing aperture 10 of the corner fitting 6.
  • a pin key 20 ( Figures 2 and 3) is inserted in the aligned aperture 10 and keyhole 18, which key 20 is provided with an asymmetric radial handle 21 which naturally rotates to a vertically pendant position after insertion.
  • a retaining latch 22 is appropriately located so as to engage the handle 21 in this pendant position and thereby prevent egress of the key 20 from the keyhole 18.
  • the key 20 may be restrained from egress by a restraining tongue 23 (shown in Figures 1 and 3 in broken line) attached to the key 20 and located to engage behind the external side wall 9 when the handle 21 drops to the pendant position, thus eliminating the need for the external retaining latch 22.
