Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coupling piece for connecting containers according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • coupling pieces are used to connect containers on board ships, which have to be released by hand. Since smaller 20 'containers in particular are stowed very tightly, the coupling pieces are unlocked (and possibly also locked) by people standing on the containers using rod-shaped tools which reach between the gap spaces of adjacent containers. New security conditions no longer allow this. As a result, it is no longer possible to unlock (and lock if necessary) the dome pieces by people standing on the containers.
  • the invention is based on the problem of creating a coupling piece for reliably connecting containers, which can be automatically unlocked and locked.
  • the coupling piece according to the invention has the features of claim 1. Characterized in that at least one coupling projection can be brought into a locking position to the respective container by a relative displacement, this can be provided with a pronounced anchoring lug, which in its locking position engages so far in the corner fitting of the corresponding container that it creates a sufficient positive connection to it .
  • the relative displacement of at least one coupling projection or of the entire coupling piece expediently takes place transversely to the connecting direction of the containers to be coupled together, that is to say horizontally.
  • An essential feature of the invention relates to the assignment of at least one displacement means to preferably the lower coupling projection.
  • the displacement means By means of the displacement means, at least the coupling projection, but preferably the entire coupling piece, can be displaced relative to the corner fittings for connecting the containers.
  • the displacement means is expediently molded onto a coupling projection.
  • the displacement means is formed by an inclined or concave curved sliding surface.
  • At least one coupling projection is displaceable relative to the abutment located between the containers.
  • Both coupling projections projecting on opposite sides of the abutment are expediently (horizontally) displaceable simultaneously to the abutment.
  • the two coupling projections are connected by a central section which is displaceable in the abutment, preferably in the same plane.
  • the abutment thus forms a type of housing for slidably receiving the central section with the two coupling projections arranged thereon.
  • a security element is assigned to the coupling piece. This holds the coupling piece inserted under an upper container by twisting it in the pre-locked position under the upper container, so that the coupling piece can neither turn back until the upper container is placed on the lower container - and thus loosen - and the housing cannot move.
  • the coupling piece is designed according to the invention such that it is displaceable overall relative to the containers to be connected.
  • a coupling piece can be formed in one piece in a particularly simple manner.
  • a coupling projection is then provided with at least one displacement means designed in such a way that it brings about a longitudinal displacement of the entire coupling piece, at least when the containers are placed one on the other.
  • the entire coupling piece can be displaced when the containers to be connected are placed one on top of the other by means of the displacement means so that both coupling projections reach a locking position in which they engage behind the corner fittings of the containers to be connected.
  • a further (second) displacement means is provided, which is arranged upstream of the anchoring nose. If necessary, this shifting means serves to shift the entire coupling piece when the containers to be connected are moved together so that the anchoring nose can enter the corner fitting of the corresponding container. Subsequently, the coupling piece is displaced again in the opposite direction by the (first) displacement means, so that the anchoring nose can positively engage behind the corner fitting of the container assigned to it.
  • Both displacement means are preferably by a slide surface formed on the lower coupling projection.
  • a safety element is also expediently assigned to this coupling piece. This is located in the area of a central part of the second coupling projection which runs through the slot in the corner fitting of the corresponding container. This securing element also prevents the pre-locking from being released after the coupling piece has been pre-locked under an upper container by a possible turning back of the coupling piece, that is to say the coupling piece can be released from the upper container.
  • the securing element is expediently designed as a filler piece in a corner-side recess in the middle piece. Is the filler in the recess of the middle piece, this has such a cross section that twisting the coupling piece under the upper container is not possible. If, on the other hand, the filler is moved out of the recess in the middle section, the coupling piece can be rotated for pre-locking under the upper container and for removing the same.
  • the coupling pieces shown here serve to connect containers 20, 21 on board ships. This connection takes place on opposite corner fittings 22, 23 of the containers 20, 21.
  • the corner fittings 22 and 23, which are of identical design, have cavities 24 which are accessible from above and below through elongated holes 25 (FIGS. 8 and 14).
  • FIG. 1 to 11 show a first embodiment of the coupling piece 26 according to the invention.
  • This coupling piece 26 is constructed in several parts. It essentially consists of a housing 27 and a locking piece 29 horizontally displaceably mounted therein transversely to the locking direction (double arrow) 28.
  • the one-piece locking piece 29 has a central section 30 and two coupling projections 31, 32 formed on opposite sides thereof.
  • the (upper) coupling projection 31 essentially represents an extension of the central section 30.
  • the (lower) coupling projection 32 likewise extends in the extension of the central section 30. It is provided with an anchoring lug 36 which protrudes with respect to an end face 35 which extends transversely to the side faces 34.
  • the anchoring nose 36 On the upper side, the anchoring nose 36 has an anchoring surface 37 which runs almost transversely to the end face 35.
  • the region of the (lower) coupling projection 32 underneath is essentially conical. Doing so an end surface of the (lower) coupling projection 32 below the anchoring lug 36 over a particularly pronounced oblique course, namely a sliding surface 38. This ends in an apex 39 lying approximately centrally under the central section 30, to which a second sliding surface 40 adjoins the runs opposite to the first sliding surface 38, in such a way that, with a view of a side surface 34, the (lower) coupling projection 32 has an approximately V-shaped cross section (FIG. 4).
  • both side surfaces 34 of the central section 30 have elongated guide webs 43 which run transversely to the locking direction 28 and which protrude from the side surfaces 34 (FIGS. 4 and 5).
  • the housing 27 has a base part 44, which is composed essentially of an abutment 45 extending transversely to the locking direction 28 and a handle 46 formed on one side.
  • This abutment 45 is located as a spacer between the facing corner fittings 22, 23 of the stacked containers 20, 21.
  • an elongated recess 47 is arranged in the abutment 45 of the housing 27. This runs continuously between an upper side 48 and a lower side 49 of the abutment 45 and is open on one side, namely to an end face 50 of the abutment 45 facing away from the handle 46.
  • the dimensions of the recess 47 are selected such that the center section 30 of the locking piece 29 can be received in a reciprocating manner.
  • Parallel (long) edge surfaces 51 of the recess 47 are provided with continuous grooves 52, which are also open towards the end face 50 of the abutment 45.
  • the grooves 52 are dimensioned such that the guide webs 43 of the central section 30 of the locking piece 29 can slide therein (FIGS. 6 and 7).
  • centering projections 53 are arranged on the top 48 of the abutment 45. These protrude from the top 48 and are flush with the edge surfaces 51 of the recess 47.
  • a centering projection 53 is rounded at both ends, while the opposite centering projection 53 is rounded at only one end (FIG. 6). This is achieved in connection with a correspondingly selected length of the centering projections 53 that for pre-locking under an upper container, the coupling piece 26 is rotatable in the slot 25 of the corner fitting 22 up to a stop formed by the non-rounded corner of a centering projection 53.
  • the underside 49 of the abutment 45 is also provided with two opposite centering projections 54.
  • the housing 27 has a clearance 56 which is continuous between the upper side 48 and the lower side 49. This is eccentric to a longitudinal central axis 57 running through the housing 27 (FIG. 6).
  • the housing 27 has through bores 59 and 60. Both through bores 59 and 60 lie on the longitudinal central axis 57 and run in the direction thereof.
  • the through bore 59 is located between the corresponding transverse side surface 58 of the franking 56 and an end surface 61 of the recess 47.
  • connection opening 62 extends from the underside 49 of the abutment 45 and is provided with an oblique anchoring projection 63 on a side facing the handle 46 (FIG. 7).
  • the locking piece 29 is inserted in the housing 27 such that it can be moved longitudinally in such a way that the central section 30 is partially received in the recess 47 and can be displaced therein.
  • the (upper) coupling projection 31 projects from the top 48 of the abutment 45
  • the (lower) coupling projection 32 projects from the underside 49 of the abutment 45.
  • the relative arrangement of the locking piece 29 in the housing 27 is such that the anchoring nose 36 on the (lower) coupling projection 32 is directed away from the handle 46 (FIG. 1).
  • the locking piece 29 is secured by a closure part 64 of the housing 27 which is screwed against the end face 50 of the abutment 45.
  • the closure part 64 has a central centering projection 65 which projects into the open side of the recess 47 and on the one hand for centering the closure part 64 with respect to the abutment 45 and on the other hand is a stop for limiting an end position of the locking piece 29 in the housing 27 (Fig. 2).
  • a pin-shaped pin 41 is formed on the central section 30. This protrudes from a (rear) end face 42 of the central section 30 directed away from the anchoring nose 36 (FIG. 4).
  • the pin 41 protrudes on the central section 30 through the through-hole 59 and 60 in the abutment 45.
  • a compression spring 66 is mounted on the pin 41.
  • a locking lever 67 accommodated in the clearance 56 is rotatably located on the pin 41. The locking lever 67 can be rotated about the pin 41 lying on the longitudinal central axis 57 (FIG. 3).
  • the compression spring 66 is supported on the end face 42 of the central section 30 and the end face of the locking lever 67 facing it (FIG. 2). In this way, the compression spring 66 presses the locking piece 29 against the closure part 64, that is to say into an end position in the housing 27 which corresponds to the locking position of the coupling piece 26 (FIG. 1).
  • the locking lever 67 projects with a locking projection 68 relative to the upper side 48 of the abutment 45, specifically into the elongated hole 25 of the corresponding corner fitting 22.
  • the locking lever 67 is secured in this position by a pivot lever 69, which is held by the anchoring projection 63 at the connection opening 62 (FIG. 7).
  • the locking lever 67 is pivoted 90 ° counterclockwise (dash-dotted line in FIG. 3)
  • the locking projection 68 is completely immersed in the franking 56 and is therefore no longer in front of the upper side 48 of the abutment 45.
  • the upper container 20 With the pre-locked coupling piece 26, the upper container 20 is now placed on a lower container 21 already on board the ship to be loaded.
  • the locking piece 29 is initially already in the locking position, in that the compression spring 66 presses the locking piece 29 against the closure part 64 of the housing 27.
  • the anchoring lug 36 on the (lower) coupling projection 32 is partially outside the area of the elongated hole 25 in the lower corner fitting 23 (FIG. 8).
  • This coupling piece 71 is essentially formed in one piece. It has a central abutment 72, on the top 73 of which an (upper) coupling projection 74 and on the underside 75 of a (lower) coupling projection 76 protrude.
  • the (upper) coupling projection 74 has a special design (FIG. 12), namely it consists of a middle piece 77 which continues the abutment 72 and two anchoring lugs 78 and 91 arranged at the end of the same.
  • the anchoring lugs 78, 91 protrude from two adjacent ones at right angles to one another extending side faces 79 in front.
  • the anchoring lugs 78, 91 thereby extend in different, mutually perpendicular directions.
  • the anchoring nose 78 protrudes from the center piece 77 in the direction of the end face 82 (or door side) of the container 20.
  • the anchoring lug 91 is attached to the center piece 77 in such a way that it points to the corresponding long side of the container 20.
  • the anchoring lugs 78 and 91 each show a vertical slot 92 of the corresponding corner fitting 22 of the upper container 20. This ensures that the coupling piece can only be fastened under the corner fittings 22 of the respective upper container 20 in a certain relative position. In the case of a wrong relative arrangement of the coupling piece, at least one anchoring lug 78 or 91 of the coupling piece 71 would point to a closed side of the corner fitting 22, as a result of which, due to the missing vertical elongated holes 92, the coupling piece could not be inserted into the corner fitting 22.
  • the anchoring lug 78 is provided with a length such that it extends completely through the vertical elongated hole 92 assigned to it and projects outwards therefrom with a short end region 93 (FIG. 16).
  • a recess in the form of a preferably concave design of an underside 94 of the anchoring nose 78 ensures that the coupling piece 71 inserted into the corner fitting 22 can no longer move out of the locking position automatically after the containers 20 and 21 have been locked.
  • a coating 81 with good sliding properties is preferably a plate made of polytetrafluoroethylene, which is connected to the top 73 of the abutment 72. It is also conceivable to pour the covering 81 onto the upper side 73 of the abutment 72.
  • the (lower) coupling projection 76 is provided with an anchoring nose 83 on the side facing the end face 82 (or door side) of the container 21.
  • the anchoring nose 83 is designed similarly to the coupling piece 26, namely provided with an almost horizontally extending (flat) anchoring surface 84.
  • the area of the (lower) coupling projection 76 below the anchoring surface 84 is again approximately V-shaped. Accordingly, a first sliding surface 85 adjoins the anchoring surface 84 of the anchoring nose 83. This runs to an apex 86 located approximately centrally below the abutment 72, from which an opposite sliding surface 87 extends.
  • This sliding surface 87 is designed in a special way. It runs in an arc shape, namely concave, and is relatively steep with respect to the locking direction 28. This special design of the sliding surface 87 ensures that when the containers 20 and 21 are placed one on top of the other, the entire coupling piece 71 is displaced in the direction of the end face 82 of the container 21 and thus the anchoring nose 83 is brought into a position in which it connects to the elongated hole 25 engages behind the adjacent area of the corner fitting 23 (FIG. 16).
  • the sliding surface 87 or the sliding surface 85 can be provided with a lubricious covering, for example made of polytetrafluoroethylene.
  • the coupling piece 71 also has a securing element against independent rotation for releasing the pre-locking under the upper container 20.
  • This consists of a filler 88, which is designed to correspond to a corner (square) recess 89 in the rectangular center piece 77 of the (upper) coupling projection 74 (FIG. 13).
  • the filler 88 can be moved up and down in the locking direction 28 such that it fills the recess 89 in the securing position, that is, it is pushed up and, in contrast, in the final securing position releases the recess 89 by being fully inserted into the abutment 72.
  • the dome can be opened Insert piece 71 by rotating it through the elongated hole 25 of the corner fitting 22 of an upper container 20. This is facilitated by a bevel 95 diagonally opposite the recess 89 on the center piece 77 (FIG. 13).
  • the filler 88 is automatically pushed up into the recess 89 by a spring mechanism arranged outside the filler, which in the simplest case consists of a compression spring (not shown) which is partially accommodated in the (lower) coupling projection 76.
  • a spring mechanism arranged outside the filler, which in the simplest case consists of a compression spring (not shown) which is partially accommodated in the (lower) coupling projection 76.
  • an actuating pin 90 running transversely thereto is provided in the area of the underside of the filler 88. This lies with the filler 88 located in the recess 89 in the region of the abutment 72 (FIG. 13).
  • the filler 88 is first pressed down by hand against the spring force of the spring mechanism arranged below it on the actuating pin 90, so that the recess 89 in the center piece 77 of the (upper) coupling projection 74 is released is. Then, with a corresponding relative displacement of the coupling piece 71 to the elongated hole 25 of the corner fitting 22 and with a corresponding rotation of the coupling piece 71, the anchoring lugs 78 and 91 of the (upper) coupling projection 74 can be inserted through the elongated hole 25 into the corner fitting 22.
  • the anchoring lugs 78 and 91 assigned to the center piece 77 at right angles to one another ensure that the coupling piece 71 can only be pre-locked in a relative position under the corner fitting 22 of the (upper) container 20, because only in a (correct) position relative to the coupling piece 71 engage the anchoring lugs 78 and 91 through the vertical elongated holes 93 also arranged at right angles to one another in the corner fitting 22.
  • the coupling piece 71 is turned back so far that the cross bar 78 extends essentially transversely to the elongated hole 25.
  • the coupling piece 71 has now reached the pre-locking position.
  • the coupling piece 71 is automatically secured by simply releasing the actuating pin 90, in that the filling piece 88 is then pushed into the recess 89 by the spring mechanism and the middle piece 77 is thereby given an almost complete square or rectangular cross section (FIG. 13), which an automatic unscrewing of the coupling piece 71 prevented from the pre-locking position.
  • the connection between them is established by completely moving the coupling piece 71. If the coupling piece 71 has been pre-locked under the upper container 20 such that the latter is already in the locking position (FIG. 14), then the sliding piece 85 shown on the right pushes the coupling piece 71 away from the end face 80 of the container 20 and 21, until the anchoring lug 83 can enter the corner fitting 23 through the elongated hole 25 (FIG. 15).
  • the entire coupling piece 71 is moved in the opposite direction to the end faces 80 of the containers 20 and 21 by means of the correspondingly designed sliding surface 87 ( Fig. 16).
  • the sliding surface 87 is supported on the end region of the elongated hole 25 of the corner fitting 23 which is directed away from the anchoring nose 83.
  • the coupling piece 71 comes into the locking position.
  • the anchoring lug 83 engages behind an edge region of the corner fitting 23 adjacent to the elongated hole 25.
  • the anchoring lug 78 comes into a position engaging behind the edge region of the elongated hole 25 of the corner fitting 22 (of the upper container 20) (FIG. 16).
  • the concave depression on the underside 94 of the anchoring lug 78 encompasses a lower edge region of the vertical elongated hole 92 of the corner fitting 22 assigned to it, in order to prevent the coupling piece 71 from automatically moving out of the locking position.
  • the back and forth movement of the coupling piece 71 for locking the containers 20 and 21 is facilitated by the covering 81 with good sliding properties on the upper side 73 of the abutment 72.
  • This covering 81 is namely when the containers 20 and 21 are placed one on top of the other by the sliding surface 85 or 87 triggered reaction force against the bottom of the corner fitting 22 of the upper container 20.
  • the covering 81 receives the vertically directed force component of the sliding surface 85 or 87, while the vertically directed force component is brought to move the coupling piece 71 into the locking position or the unlocking position for the connection of the containers 20 and 21.
  • the covering 81 ensures that the opposite horizontal force component resulting from the friction between the upper side 73 of the abutment 72 and the lower side of the corner fitting 22 is the horizontal force component generated by the sliding surface 85 or 87 does not cancel even under difficult conditions, so there is always a transverse displacement of the coupling piece 71 to ensure a proper automatic locking of the containers 20 and 21 by the coupling pieces 71.
