Definitions

• This invention relates to a device for managing a container, e.g. loading and unloading from hauling equipment independently of outside assistance, for example in the form of some kind of lifting means, said device comprising vertically adjustable support legs arranged at the container.
• the inventive solution has as its aim to provide containers for e.g. goods distribution with means enabling for a sole driver of a truck to load and unload a container without any outside help and to deliver the container at the receiver as an occasionally locked storage space and storeroom. If perishable goods such as foodstuffs in frozen or fresh state are concerned, containers with air-conditioning equipment are used which during the transport by car is connected to its electric system and placed with a receiver or in a storage center, terminal or the like is connected to the mains for its power supply. Besides these advantages the further advantage is also obtained that no special trucks for the distribution are required but any available lorry with platform and trailers also for private cars can be used for transport or containers equipped in accordance with this invention.
• each frame 3 is further provided with a hole 11 for a pivot 12 attached to the container 1 and aligned with the pin 7 (Fig. 3) to enable turning of the respective support leg at least 180° and from a transport position A in Fig. 1 parallel with the container to one of several possible working positions B, C.
• the lower pivot 12 of each leg frame 3 is attached to the underside 14 of a guide wheel bracket 13 which, in turn, is fixedly secured, for example welded, to the container 1 so that the pin 12 is aligned with the upper pivot 7 of the respective leg frame.
• each of the plates is pivotably journalled in a holder 36 comprising two parallel bearing and supporting plates 37 having a mutual distance corresponding to the thickness of respective slide- plate.
• respective slide plate 35 is pivotably journalled on a holding bolt 40 extending through respective holder 36 and the slide plate 35 belonging to it and functioning as a pivoting axis, which bolt 40 at its one end is provided with a lockable nut 41 for regulation of the contact pressure between respective slide plate 35 and the plates 37 of the holder.
• the surfaces resting against each other can suitably be provided with a coating of a pressure- resistant low frictional material, for instance a plastics material of polytetrafluoroethylene (TEFLON).
• the pivoting axis 40 of the upper and the lower holder 36 shall be in alignment with each other in the same way as the pivoting pins 7 and 12 in the embodiment previously described for making possible to pivot respective supporting leg at least 180° and from the transportation section A in Fig. 1 being parallel with the container and to someone of the working positions B and C.
• each frame 30 is provided with a locking hook 42 pivotably journalled on a axle spindle 43 between the frame plates 31, which hook 42 is centered between the frame plates 31 by us ings and which has a shaft 46 projecting through a slot of the connection plate 33.
• Each frame 30 of the supporting leg is with its fastening bar 30 rigidly connected with the carrying frame 50 of the chassis, preferably by means cf a belt joint, and with these bolt joints also the corner stanchions 52 of the container are fastened between respective fastening bar 38 and the carrying frame 50, which is of lowbeam-typ ⁇ having a top side 53 (Figs. 23-26) made in right angle as a support for not shown floor elements and wail elements cf the container and with a height less than that of the fastening bars 38, which above the supporting frame 50 rest against the comer stanchions 52, which like the fastening bars 38 are angular with a broader flange 55 on the load-absorbing side, and which in their upper parts are unfortunately connected with stays 56.
• the end party 57 of the c orner stanchions hidden by the fastening bars 38 in Figs 13-15 is more closely shown in Figs. 27 and 28.
