Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kuppelstück zum Verbinden zweier übereinander gestapelter Container, insbesondere an Bord von Schiffen, an ihren Eckbeschlägen mit zwei voneinander weg gerichteten Kupplungsvorsprüngen, von denen der eine Kupplungsvorsprung in den Eckbeschlag des einen Containers und der andere Kopplungsvorsprung in den Eckbeschlag des anderen Containers eingreift.The invention relates to a coupling piece for connecting two stacked containers, in particular on board ships, at their Eckbeschlägen with two mutually away coupling projections, of which engages a coupling projection in the corner fitting of a container and the other coupling projection in the corner fitting of the other container ,

Ein solches Kuppelstück ist aus der DE 102 38 895 A1 bekannt. Beim Verladen von Containern an Bord von Schiffen werden die Container zunächst am Kai mit einem Spreader angehoben und sodann in die unteren Eckbeschlägen des angehoben Containers die Eckbeschlägen eingehängt. Anschließend wird der Container an Bord gehoben und dort auf einen bereits an Deck stehenden Container abgesetzt. Dabei verriegeln die Kuppelstücke an den oberen Eckbeschlägen des unteren Containers. Der Container ist jetzt gegen Verrutschen und Abheben gesichert; kann jedoch durch Zurrstangen zusätzlich gesichert werden.Such a coupling piece is from the DE 102 38 895 A1 known. When loading containers on board ships, the containers are first lifted on the quay with a spreader and then hooked into the lower corner fittings of the raised container, the corner fittings. Then the container is lifted on board and deposited there on a container already on deck. The coupling pieces lock on the upper corner fittings of the lower container. The container is now secured against slipping and taking off; but can be additionally secured by lashing bars.

Das in der DE 102 38 895 A1 gezeigte Kuppelstück weist eine zur Seite gerichtete Verriegelungsnase an dem unteren Kupplungsvorsprung auf. Ein Problem bei diesem Kuppelstück ist, daß es in zwei unterschiedlichen Orientierungen eingesetzt werden kann, nämlich jeweils um 180° um die vertikal Achse verdreht. In der Schrift ist deshalb ausgeführt, daß es sehr wichtig ist, daß die Verriegelungsnase in der an einer Stirnseite des Containers befindlichen Kuppelstücke in dieselbe Richtung weisen, damit sich der Container einwandfrei end- und verriegeln läßt. Es ist möglich, daß alle vier Verriegelungsnasen in dieselbe Richtung oder die Verriegelungsnasen an einer Stirnseite in die eine und die Verriegelungsnasen an der anderen Stirnseite in die andere Richtung weisen. Wie gesagt, wichtig ist nur, daß die Verriegelungsnasen an einer Stirnseite jeweils in dieselbe Richtung weisen. Es wird insoweit auf die DE 102 38 895 A1 verwiesen.That in the DE 102 38 895 A1 shown coupling piece has a side-facing locking lug on the lower coupling projection. A problem with this coupling piece is that it can be used in two different orientations, namely rotated by 180 ° about the vertical axis. It is therefore stated in the document that it is very important that the locking lug points in the same direction in the coupling pieces located on one end face of the container, so that the container can be perfectly closed and locked. It is possible that all four locking lugs in the same direction or the locking lugs on one end face in one direction and the locking lugs on the other end face in the other direction. As I said, it is only important that the locking lugs point at one end in each case in the same direction. It is so far on the DE 102 38 895 A1 directed.

Sicherungen, die verhindern, daß die Kuppelstücke so eingesetzt werden, daß die Verriegelungsnase an einer Stirnseite in unterschiedliche Richtungen weisen, sind in der DE 102 38 895 A1 nicht gezeigt. Vielmehr ist das korrekte Einsetzen der Kuppelstücke in die Verantwortung des Stauers gestellt. Fehlbedienungen durch menschliches Versagen sind damit nicht ausgeschlossen.Fuses that prevent the dome pieces are used so that the locking lug on a front face in different directions are in the DE 102 38 895 A1 Not shown. Rather, the correct insertion of the dome pieces is the responsibility of the jam. Operating errors due to human error are thus not excluded.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung das Problem zugrunde, ein Kuppelstück der eingangs genannten Art derart weiterzubilden, daß stets sichergestellt ist, daß die Verriegelungsnasen an einer Stirnseite des Containers immer in dieselbe Richtung weisen, also kein Kuppelstück versehentlich verkehrt herum eingesetzt wird.Proceeding from this, the invention is based on the problem, a coupling piece of the type mentioned in such a way that it is always ensured that the locking lugs always have in the same direction at one end of the container, so no coupling piece is used inadvertently upside down.

Zur Lösung dieses Problems ist das erfindungsgemäße Kuppelstück dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß an einem der Kupplungsvorsprünge eine Asymmetrie vorgesehen ist, derart, daß das Kuppelstück nur in einer bestimmten Orientierung in den Eckbeschlag einsetzbar ist.To solve this problem, the coupling piece according to the invention is characterized in that provided on one of the coupling projections asymmetry is, such that the coupling piece can be used only in a certain orientation in the corner fitting.

Die Erfindung nutzt dabei den Umstand aus, daß das Langloch am Eckbeschlag, in denen das Kuppelstück mit seinem einen Kupplungsvorsprung eingesetzt wird, asymmetrisch im Eckbeschlag plaziert ist. Das Langloch ist nämlich nicht genau mittig im Eckbeschlag, sondern diagonal zum Container hin versetzt angeordnet. Durch die Asymmetrie an dem Kupplungsvorsprung ist sichergestellt, daß das Kuppelstück nur in einer bestimmten Orientierung eingesetzt werden kann. Das Einsetzen in einer anderen, um 180° verdrehten Orientierung ist nicht mehr möglich.The invention makes use of the fact that the slot on the corner fitting, in which the coupling piece is used with its one coupling projection, is placed asymmetrically in the corner fitting. The slot is not exactly centered in the corner fitting, but arranged diagonally offset towards the container. The asymmetry of the coupling projection ensures that the coupling piece can only be used in a specific orientation. The insertion in another, by 180 ° twisted orientation is no longer possible.

Am sinnvollsten ist es, wenn die Asymmetrie an dem Kupplungsvorsprung angeordnet ist, der zuerst in einen der Container eingesetzt wird. In der Praxis ist das der Kupplungsvorsprung, der in den unteren Eckbeschlag des oberen Containers eingreift. Ein fehlerhaftes Einsetzen des Kuppelstücks ist damit von vornherein vermieden.It is most useful if the asymmetry is located on the coupling projection, which is first inserted into one of the containers. In practice, this is the coupling projection, which engages in the lower corner fitting of the upper container. A faulty insertion of the coupling piece is thus avoided from the outset.

Bei einer konstruktiven Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist an dem betreffenden Kupplungsvorsprung ein Distanzstück, beispielsweise ein Dorn, vorgesehen.In a constructive embodiment of the invention, a spacer, for example a mandrel, is provided on the relevant coupling projection.

Vorzugsweise ist das Distanzstück (der Dorn) an einer Stirnseite des Kupplungsvorsprung, also in Richtung der Längsmittelachse des Containers, angeordnet. Zwar ist es auch denkbar, das Distanzstück seitlich anzuordnen. Diese Variante würde es aber erfordern, daß zwei gesonderte Kuppelstück werden für die linke und rechte Seite, also den linken und rechten Eckbeschlag, vorgesehen werden, da das Distanzstück immer nach außen weisen muß.Preferably, the spacer (the mandrel) on an end face of the coupling projection, ie in the direction of the longitudinal center axis of the container, arranged. Although it is also conceivable to arrange the spacer laterally. However, this variant would require that two separate coupling piece are provided for the left and right side, so the left and right corner fitting, since the spacer must always face outward.

Um das Anbringen weiterer Zurrmittel an den Eckbeschlag zu ermöglichen, sollte die Asymmetrie entsprechend angeordnet sein. Dieses wird konkret dadurch erreicht, daß die Asymmetrie keine Überdeckung mit einem Auge am Eckbeschlag aufweist. Mit anderen Worten, die Asymmetrie ist versetzt zum Auge im Eckbeschlag angeordnet.In order to allow the attachment of additional lashing to the corner fitting, the asymmetry should be arranged accordingly. This is specifically achieved in that the asymmetry has no overlap with an eye on the corner fitting. In other words, the asymmetry is offset from the eye in the corner fitting.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand von in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to embodiments shown in the drawing. Show it:

Das dargestellte Kuppelstück 10 weist einen ersten Kupplungsvorsprung 11 und einen zweiten, vom ersten Kupplungsvorsprung 11 weg gerichteten Kupplungsvorsprung 12 auf. Der erste Kupplungsvorsprung 11 wird in der Regel in den unteren Eckbeschlag 13 eines oberen Containers eingesetzt. Dieser Kupplungsvorsprung 11 wird deshalb häufig auch als oberer Kupplungsvorsprung 11 bezeichnet. Beim Absetzen des oberen Containers auf einen unteren Container im Containerstapel greift der andere Kupplungsvorsprung 12 immer in den oberen Eckbeschlag des unteren Containers und verriegelt so die beiden Container miteinander. Der andere Kupplungsvorsprung 12 wird auch als unterer Kupplungsvorsprung 12 bezeichnet. Selbstverständlich wäre es aber auch möglich, das Kuppelstück 10 anders herum, also in einer Überkopfanordnung (direkt an Bord) zu verwenden.The illustrated coupling piece 10 has a first coupling projection 11 and a second coupling projection 12 directed away from the first coupling projection 11. The first coupling projection 11 is usually inserted into the lower corner fitting 13 of an upper container. This coupling projection 11 is therefore often referred to as the upper coupling projection 11. When depositing the upper container on a lower container in the container stack engages the other coupling projection 12 always in the upper corner fitting of the lower container, thus locking the two containers together. The other coupling projection 12 is also referred to as the lower coupling projection 12. Of course, it would also be possible to use the coupling piece 10 the other way around, ie in an overhead arrangement (directly on board).

Wie in Fig. 2 und Fig. 3 gut zu erkennen ist, ist am Übergang zwischen dem oberen Kupplungsvorsprung 11 und dem unteren Kupplungsvorsprung 12 ein Wulst 14 vorgesehen. Mittels des Wulstes 14 wird die vertikale Position des Kuppelstücks 10 zwischen den Eckbeschlägen 13 fixiert, indem der Wulst 14 in einer durch eine Phase 15 an einem Langloch 16 jedes Eckbeschlages 13 gebildete Nut greift.As in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 can be clearly seen, a bead 14 is provided at the transition between the upper coupling projection 11 and the lower coupling projection 12. By means of the bead 14, the vertical position of the coupling piece 10 is fixed between the corner fittings 13 by the bead 14 engages in a formed by a phase 15 at a slot 16 of each corner fitting 13 groove.

Beim Einsetzen des Kuppelstücks 10 in den Eckbeschlag 13 des oberen Containers wird der obere Kupplungsvorsprung 11 in das Langloch 16 dieses Eckbeschlages 13 eingeführt. Dabei hintergreift ein Vorsprung 17 am oberen Kupplungsvorsprung 11 das Langloch 16, so daß das Kuppelstück 10 nicht mehr herausfällt. Wie das in der DE 102 38 895 A1 gezeigte Kuppelstück weist das Kuppelstück 10 am unteren Kupplungsvorsprung 12 eine seitlich zur Längserstreckung des Langlochs 16 weisende Verriegelungsnase 18 auf. Beim Absetzen des oberen Containers auf dem unteren Container gleitet der unteren Kupplungsvorsprung 12 in gleicher Weise wie bei dem in der DE 102 38 895 A1 beschriebenen Kuppelstück in das Langloch des oberen Eckbeschlages des unteren Containers, wobei die Verriegelungsnase 18 das Langloch des oberen Eckbeschlages hintergreift.When inserting the coupling piece 10 in the corner fitting 13 of the upper container, the upper coupling projection 11 is inserted into the slot 16 of this corner fitting 13. In this case, a projection 17 engages behind the upper coupling projection 11, the slot 16, so that the coupling piece 10 does not fall out. Like that in the DE 102 38 895 A1 shown dome piece, the coupling piece 10 on the lower coupling projection 12 has a laterally to the longitudinal extent of the elongated hole 16 facing locking lug 18. When settling the upper container on the lower container slides the lower coupling projection 12 in the same manner as in the DE 102 38 895 A1 described coupling piece in the slot of the upper corner fitting of the lower container, wherein the locking lug 18 engages behind the slot of the upper corner fitting.

Mit dem insoweit beschriebenen Kuppelstück 10 wäre es möglich, dieses in zwei unterschiedlichen Orientierungen in den Eckbeschlag 13 einzusetzen, nämlich um jeweils 180° um eine vertikale Längsachse 19 des Kuppelstücks 10 verdreht. Um dieses zu verhindern, ist der obere Kupplungsvorsprung 11 mit einer Asymmetrie versehen. Konkret ist an dem oberen Kupplungsvorsprung 11, nämlich an einer Stirnseite des Vorsprungs 17, ein Distanzstück, nämlich ein Dorn 20 angeformt. Wie in Fig. 1 zu erkennen ist, ist nämlich das Langloch 16 außermittig im Eckbeschlag 13 angeordnet. Das Langloch 16 weist zu den freien, mit Augen 21 versehenen Wänden 22, 23 einen größeren Abstand auf, als zu den anderen, zum Container weisenden Wänden 24, 25. Das Langloch 16 ist also diagonal zum Container hin gegenüber der Mitte des Eckbeschlages 13 versetzt. Die Länge des Dorns 20 ist so bemessen, daß er in den Raum zwischen der Stirnseite des Vorsprungs 17 und der Wand 22 paßt, nicht aber bei um die Längsachse 19 verdrehter Orientierung in dem Raum, der sich zwischen der Stirnseite des Vorsprungs 17 und der gegenüberliegende Wand 24 ergeben würde. Hierfür wäre der Dorn 20 zu lang.With the dome piece 10 described so far, it would be possible to use this in two different orientations in the corner fitting 13, namely rotated by 180 ° about a vertical longitudinal axis 19 of the coupling piece 10. To prevent this, the upper coupling projection 11 is provided with an asymmetry. Specifically, a spacer, namely a mandrel 20 is integrally formed on the upper coupling projection 11, namely on an end face of the projection 17. As in Fig. 1 can be seen, namely the slot 16 is arranged eccentrically in the corner fitting 13. The slot 16 has to the free, provided with eyes 21 walls 22, 23 a greater distance than to the other, pointing to the container walls 24, 25. The slot 16 is thus diagonally to the container towards the Center of the corner fitting 13 offset. The length of the mandrel 20 is sized so that it fits into the space between the end face of the projection 17 and the wall 22, but not in about the longitudinal axis 19 twisted orientation in the space extending between the end face of the projection 17 and the opposite Wall 24 would result. For this purpose, the mandrel 20 would be too long.

Wie Fig. 1 zu entnehmen ist, ist der Dorn 20 so positioniert, daß er nicht mit dem Auge 21 in der Wand 22 des Eckbeschlages 13 fluchtet. Der Dorn 20 ist also versetzt zum Auge 21 in der Wand 22 positioniert. Hierdurch bleibt das Auge 21 frei, um weitere Zurrmittel, insbesondere den Einhakbeschlag einer Zurrstange, anzubringen.As Fig. 1 it can be seen, the mandrel 20 is positioned so that it is not aligned with the eye 21 in the wall 22 of the corner fitting 13. The mandrel 20 is thus positioned offset to the eye 21 in the wall 22. As a result, the eye 21 remains free to attach further lashing means, in particular the Einhakbeschlag a lashing bar.

In Fig. 3 ist weiterhin ein Sicherungsmittel, nämlich ein Hebel 26 zu erkennen, welcher das Kuppelstück 10 gegen herausfallen sicherte, während das Kuppelstück 10 beim Transport vom Kai auf das Schiff oder umgekehrt (Hiev) hängt. Sobald der obere Container an Bord des Schiffes mit dem unteren Container verriegelt ist, ist dieser Hebel 26 wirkungslos. Am eigentlichen Verriegelungsvorgang ist der Hebel 26 also nicht beteiligt.In Fig. 3 is further a securing means, namely to detect a lever 26, which secured the dome piece 10 against falling out, while the dome piece 10 during transport from the quayside on the ship or vice versa (Hiev) depends. Once the upper container is locked on board the ship with the lower container, this lever 26 is ineffective. At the actual locking process, the lever 26 is therefore not involved.

Der Hebel 26 ist als zweiarmiger Hebel ausgebildet und durch ein Gelenk 27 gelagert. Ein Bedienhebel 28 dient zum Lösen des Kuppelstückes 10 durch den Stauer, wenn das Kuppelstück nach dem Entladen (Löschen) des Containers entfernt wird.The lever 26 is formed as a two-armed lever and supported by a hinge 27. An operating lever 28 is used to release the coupling piece 10 by the stevedores when the coupling piece is removed after unloading (deletion) of the container.

Bei den Ausführungsbeispielen gemäß Fig. 4 bis 7 ist das Sicherungsmittel ein mittels eines Gelenkes 29 schwenkbar gelagerter Kloben 30. Dieser ist in die in Fig. 4 bis 7 gezeigten Sicherungsstellung mittels einer Druckfeder 31 vorgespannt und kann gegen die Kraft der Druckfeder 31 nach innen (in Fig. 5 bzw. 7 im Urzeigersinn) geschwenkt werden, so daß das Kuppelstück 10 eingesetzt oder aus dem Eckbeschlag entnommen werden kann. Die Kraft der Druckfeder 31 ist dabei so bemessen, daß sie ein ungewolltes Herausfallen verhindert, jedoch die Entnahme des Kuppelstücks durch den Stauer ermöglicht.In the embodiments according to Fig. 4 to 7 the securing means is a pivot 30 mounted pivotably by means of a hinge 29 Fig. 4 to 7 shown securing position biased by a compression spring 31 and can against the force of the compression spring 31 inwards (in Fig. 5 or 7 in the clockwise direction), so that the coupling piece 10 can be inserted or removed from the corner fitting. The force of the compression spring 31 is dimensioned so that it prevents accidental falling out, however, allows the removal of the coupling piece by the stevedores.

Zusätzlich oder alternativ könnte der Dorn 20 auch seitlich am oberen Kupplungsvorsprung 1 angeordnet sein, so daß er in den Raum zwischen dem oberen Kupplungsvorsprung 11 und der Wand 23 paßt. Die Länge des Dorns 20 wäre dann wieder so zu bemessen, daß er für eine um 180° um die Längsachse 19 verdrehte Orientierung zu lang wäre. Diese Variante ist aber weniger bevorzugt, da das Langloch 16 immer zur Containermitte hin versetzt ist. Ein seitlicher Dorn würde daher zwei unterschiedliche Kuppelstücke für Links und Rechts erfordern.Additionally or alternatively, the mandrel 20 could also be arranged laterally on the upper coupling projection 1, so that it fits into the space between the upper coupling projection 11 and the wall 23. The length of the mandrel 20 would then again be sized so that it would be too long for a rotated by 180 ° about the longitudinal axis 19 orientation. This variant is less preferred because the slot 16 is always offset to the center of the container. A lateral mandrel would therefore require two different coupling pieces for left and right.
