Definitions
- the present invention relates to cargo containers, liners for installing inside a cargo container, centres of suspension and methods of installing a liner inside a cargo container.
- Standardized containers or boxes have become into very extensive use for the shipment of freight by land and see, and the many advantages of such containers have made it extremely desirable to adapt them for use with as many types of cargo as possible. Accordingly, there have been attempts, with varying degrees of success, to use such standardized containers to carry bulk cargo such as dry bulk chemicals, powdered and pelletized resins, flour, coffee, cocoa and grains.
- liners are often used to line the interior walls of surfaces of cargo containers that are used to carry bulk cargo.
- the liners protect the cargo during shipment e.g. from rain and debris; and after the cargo is delivered, the liner can be removed so that the container is again usable, without significant cleaning, to carry other cargo.
- bulk heads are often secured to the back ends of the liners to help hold and support the liners inside the cargo containers, particularly when cargo is being loaded into and discharged from the liners.
- a bulk head is secured to the back end of the liner by means of an adhesive, by staples or both; and during transportation, a bulk head may partially break away from a liner, tearing or rupturing the liner.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a liner which fits into the container as well as possible, so as to ease the loading/unloading of the container.
- a liner is provided which extends entirely to the inner walls and the interior corners of the container.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide an easy and profitable method of installing a liner inside a cargo container.
- Another object of the invention is to provide centres of suspension, which are to be releasably secured in wedgelike relationship at upper corners of the container rear end and front wall.
- a further object of the present invention is to avoid the drawbacks of the prior art cargo containers and liners.
