Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coupling piece for releasable connection of corner fittings of neighboring containers, in particular stacked containers on board ships, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Dome pieces of the type mentioned are used in technical jargon commonly referred to as "twistlocks". These dome pieces are mainly used to get on board ships to connect transporting containers with each other. Thereby relative shifts of the containers during the Ship transportation can be prevented.
  • WO-A-92 05093 is also a semi-automatic one Coupling piece with the features of the preamble of claim 1 known that over a single pull rope Actuator has.
  • This only pull rope has however, the disadvantage that the coupling piece only in one certain relative arrangement to the containers to be connected can be used. An incorrect arrangement of the coupling piece results in it not automatically having an end lock brings about.
  • Another disadvantage is that the known dome piece in case of an accidentally occurred Unlocking can no longer be locked. Finally, this dome piece not either from the upper or lower Uncouple the container.
  • DE-A-41 33 498 is a semi-automatic coupling piece known that has only a single pull rope. This known coupling piece therefore also has the disadvantages of of WO-A-92 05093 known coupling piece.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of being universal usable, semi-automatic coupling piece to create a simple and error-free operation guaranteed.
  • a coupling piece to solve this problem has the features of claim 1.
  • the locking bolt in opposite directions twist.
  • Incorrect operations and, in particular, incorrect operations Locks can be made with the coupling piece according to the invention Avoid due to the two existing pull cords or cancel.
  • the coupling piece according to the invention universally applicable.
  • the two pull cords are preferably made of (half-length) Sections of a single limp or flexible Actuating means, for example a rope or a rope-like Strands, formed. Opposite ends of the Actuating means are each with an actuating end Mistake. It is also possible to have two separate, shorter ones Use actuating means to form each pull cord. In in this case there is a free end of each actuating means about its own end of activity.
  • the Cross bolt of the locking bolt essentially the same educated. Because of this, there is no need to pay attention to that the coupling piece with a certain crossbar to one the container to be connected is pre-locked. The Rather, the coupling piece can be turned over as desired, namely with both the upper and the lower crossbar one of the containers are pre-locked. This allows in a surprisingly simple way Simplify the operation of semi-automatic coupling pieces.
  • the dome shown here is for semi-automatic Connect stacked containers shown in the figures are not shown.
  • the dome piece sits in the essentially together from a housing 20, a Locking bolt 21, an actuator 22 and a locking device 23.
  • the housing 20 of the coupling piece shown here is in two parts educated. It consists of two housing halves 24 and 25 that screwed together in a central division plane 26 are.
  • the division plane 26 runs longitudinally through the center of one Through hole 27 in the housing 20.
  • the division level 26 and the through hole 27 extend with respect to the in the Fig. 1 and 2 shown use position of the coupling piece vertically through the housing 20.
  • the exterior of the housing 20 is divided into three sections, namely in a central abutment 28, the one on the other stacked containers between adjacent corner fittings of the container (not shown) comes to rest as a spacer, and two on opposite sides of abutment 28 arranged center pieces 29 and 30.
  • the center pieces 29 and 30 protrude into corresponding containers Elongated holes in the corner fittings of containers lying one above the other inside.
  • the locking bolt 21 is composed of an in essential cylindrical middle part 31 and two crossbars 32 and 33.
  • the locking bolt 21 is in one piece trained, for which the crossbars 32 and 33 opposite ends of the middle part 31 are formed.
  • With the middle part 31 is the locking bolt 21 in the Through hole 27 of the housing 20 about its longitudinal central axis 34 rotatably mounted.
  • the two crossbars 32 and 33 protrude opposite ends of the housing 20 out.
  • the crossbars 32 and 33 are thus above the respective Center piece 29 or 30 of the housing.
  • the two cross bolts 32 and 33 of the locking bolt 21 are advantageously of substantially the same design.
  • the cross bar 32 and 33 has at its respective Center piece 29 or 30 of the housing 20 facing (rear) side over an approximately rectangular base area (FIG. 12).
  • 33 tapers conically its free end, which thereby has a flat tip 35.
  • On the parallel, long sides of each cross bar 32 and 33 are arranged diagonally opposite projections 36. This protrude in areas opposite the rectangular base each cross bar 32, 33 before (Fig. 13).
  • the tops of the Projections 36 run obliquely to the tip 35 of the respective Crossbar 32, 33. This gives the crossbar 32, 33 a winding extending from the tip 35 to the projections 36.
  • the undersides of the projections 36 are at each cross bar 32 and 33 with bevels 37.
  • the bevels 37 and the winding of the top of each cross bar 32 and 33 have a slope which is chosen such that in certain relative positions of the respective cross bar 32 and 33 to the corner fitting of the corresponding container of the relevant crossbar the locking bolt 21 at Insert in the corner fitting or when pulling out of the Corner fitting twisted automatically.
  • one Crossbar 32 is offset to the other crossbar 33, namely by about 90 ° (Fig. 13). If the coupling piece is turned over accordingly is so that the lower cross bar 33 is on top, and then the locking bolt 21 by 90 ° to the Longitudinal central axis 34 is rotated, the original reaches lower crossbar 33 in a position in which the previously overhead crossbar 32 was.
  • a locking device 23 is located in the interior of the housing 20 arranged, the locking bolt 21 in the three different positions according to FIGS. 3, 6 and 9 locked.
  • the locking device 23 is composed from a spring-loaded plunger 38 mounted in the housing 20 and one assigned to the locking bolt 21 Link plate 39, which corresponds to the plunger 38.
  • the Link plate 39 is non-rotatable on the central part 31 of the Locking bolt 21 stored and therefore together with the Locking bolt 21 rotatable.
  • the spring loaded plunger 38 is on a center through the abutment 28 of the housing 20th extending and the longitudinal central axis 34 of the Locking bolt 21 perpendicular intersecting central axis 40 movable.
  • a plunger plate 41 of the spring-loaded Tappet 38 is in by a spring, namely a compression spring 42 Biased towards the locking bolt 21.
  • a spring namely a compression spring 42 Biased towards the locking bolt 21.
  • the link plate 39 has a protruding nose 45 and 46.
  • the nose 45 is the Link plate 39 in a central recess 47 of a groove 48 in the contact surface 44 of the plunger plate 41 (Fig. 6).
  • the locking bolt 21 of the coupling piece in the locked position locked.
  • the opposite is the opposite nose 46 of the plunger plate 41 in the recess 47 of the groove 48 of the tappet plate 41 (Fig. 3) when the upper cross bar 32 is in its unlocked position (Fig. 4), but the lower cross bar 33 is locked (Fig. 5).
  • the actuating device 22 has two flexible and / or limp tensile strands 57 and 58.
  • the two pull strands 57 and 58 are advantageously made of a single Actuator formed in the shown Embodiment designed as a continuous rope 49 is. Approximately one half of the rope 49 forms one Drawstring 57 or 58. A central area of the rope 49, the the tension strands 57 and 58 connects to one another Junction 50 with the link plate 39 des Locking bolt 21 connected.
  • the rope 49 is through a transverse eyelet 51 on the from the contact surface 44th technological back of the plunger plate 41 and on the opposite sides of the eyelet 51 by one Thickening in the form of a compression sleeve 52 on the rope 49 locked in a longitudinally immovable manner.
  • the Locking bolt 21 by pulling on one end of the a section of the rope 49 forming a pull cord 57 in the Clockwise and by pulling on the opposite end of the rope 49, namely on the pull cord 58, counterclockwise be twisted.
  • the coupling piece By pulling the knob 56, the coupling piece reaches the in 3 to 5 position shown.
