Description

La présente invention se rapporte au domaine des conteneurs utilisés dans le transport international. Elle se rapporte en particulier à un dispositif de manutention d'un tel conteneur. De tels conteneurs, notamment adaptés au transport multimodal, sont notamment définis par les normes IS0668 et ISO1161. L'invention n'est bien sûr pas limitée aux conteneurs définis par cette norme.The present invention relates to the field of containers used in international transport. It relates in particular to a handling device of such a container. Such containers, particularly suitable for multimodal transport, are defined in particular by IS0668 and ISO1161 standards. The invention is of course not limited to the containers defined by this standard.

Les conteneurs définis par la norme IS0668 sont équipés de coins répondant à la norme ISO1161 tel que ceux divulgués dans le document GB 2209184 , c'est-à-dire de boites comprenant des ouvertures oblongues prévues pour y introduire un dispositif de manutention ou d'arrimage, Un coin ISO permet d'y assurer la prise du dispositif de manutention sur le conteneur. Par exemple, ce dispositif de manutention peut être un crochet ou une manille de levage. Ce dispositif peut aussi être un dispositif d'arrimage, permettant, par exemple de fixer le conteneur ainsi équipé au pont d'un navire ou à la soute d'un aéronef.Containers defined by IS0668 are equipped with ISO1161 compliant corners such as those disclosed in the document GB 2209184 , that is to say, boxes with oblong openings provided to introduce a handling device or stowage, An ISO wedge makes it possible to ensure that the handling device on the container. For example, this handling device may be a hook or a lifting shackle. This device can also be a securing device, allowing, for example to fix the container and equipped to the deck of a ship or the hold of an aircraft.

Il est particulièrement avantageux de pouvoir utiliser un dispositif articulé de telle façon qu'il accepte toutes les orientations de traction compatibles avec les coins répondant à la norme ISO1161 tout en restant verrouillé quelle que soit l'orientation, et qui puisse rester en place pendant le transport du conteneur qui en est équipé. En particulier, cela limite le nombre et la durée des opérations lors du déchargement du conteneur. Or, le gabarit routier européen est de 2550 mm et la largeur d'un conteneur ISO est de 2438 mm. Ainsi, il ne reste de part et d'autre du conteneur, dans le sens de sa largeur, que 56 mm. Les dispositifs de manutention connus de l'état de l'art ont un encombrement tel qu'un conteneur qui en est équipé excède le gabarit routier européen, c'est-à-dire que ces dispositifs de l'art antérieur font une saillie transversale de plus de 56 mm par rapport au coin sur lequel ils sont en prise. En outre, la diminution de cette saillie transversale est particulièrement importante pour le transport aérien, compte tenu de l'étroitesse des soutes des aéronefs.It is particularly advantageous to be able to use an articulated device in such a way that it accepts all ISO1161 compatible wedge-compatible traction orientations while remaining locked regardless of the orientation, and which can remain in place during transport of the container equipped with it. In particular, this limits the number and duration of operations when unloading the container. However, the template European road is 2550 mm and the width of an ISO container is 2438 mm. Thus, it remains on both sides of the container, in the direction of its width, only 56 mm. The handling devices known in the state of the art have a bulk such that a container equipped with it exceeds the European road gauge, that is to say that these devices of the prior art make a transverse projection more than 56 mm from the corner on which they are engaged. In addition, the reduction of this transverse projection is particularly important for air transport, given the narrowness of the aircraft bunkers.

L'invention a pour but de proposer un dispositif de manutention formant une saillie transversale, par rapport à la charge avec laquelle il est en prise, de préférence moins de 56mm. Plus particulièrement, l'invention a pour but de proposer un dispositif d'arrimage et de manutention pour un conteneur défini par les normes IS0668 et ISO1161, suffisamment résistant pour supporter les efforts lors du transport ou du levage, dont le verrouillage sur le conteneur ne dépend pas de l'orientation de ces efforts, et prévu pour pouvoir rester fixé au conteneur durant son transport, notamment son transport routier. Un autre but de l'invention est aussi de proposer un dispositif de manutention apte à être utilisé à la fois pour le levage et l'arrimage du conteneur.The invention aims to provide a handling device forming a transverse projection, relative to the load with which it is engaged, preferably less than 56mm. More particularly, the object of the invention is to propose a securing and handling device for a container defined by standards IS0668 and ISO1161, sufficiently resistant to withstand the forces during transport or lifting, the locking of which on the container does not depend on the direction of these efforts, and planned to remain fixed to the container during transport, including road transport. Another object of the invention is also to provide a handling device adapted to be used both for lifting and securing the container.

Selon l'invention, un tel dispositif de manutention pour un conteneur muni d'un orifice de manutention, comprenant un anneau de manutention, un corps principal et un lardon, le corps principal et le lardon étant mobiles l'un par rapport à l'autre en rotation autour d'un axe principal, entre une première position dans laquelle le corps principal et le lardon présentent ensemble un profil transversal apte à traverser l'orifice de manutention, et une deuxième position, dans laquelle le corps et le lardon présentent, ensemble, un profil transversal inapte à traverser l'orifice de manutention, le corps principal comprenant en outre une empreinte dans laquelle le lardon peut se bloquer en rotation lorsqu'il est dans la deuxième position, est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un piton comprenant un arbre s'étendant selon l'axe principal, le lardon étant disposé à une première extrémité dudit arbre, l'arbre étant axialement prolongé à une deuxième extrémité opposée à la première par une zone fileté, le dispositif comprenant en outre un écrou mobile, entre une position visée et une position dévissée, sur la zone filetée, la deuxième extrémité de l'arbre portant une pièce de butée, la zone filetée formant avec l'arbre un épaulement, de sorte que le déplacement axial de l'écrou est limité entre la pièce de butée, dans sa position dévissée, et l'épaulement, dans sa position vissée.According to the invention, such a handling device for a container provided with a handling port, comprising a handling ring, a main body and a lardon, the main body and the lardon being movable relative to the another rotating about a main axis, between a first position in which the main body and the lardon together have a transverse profile adapted to pass through the handling port, and a second position, in which the body and the bacon present, together, a transverse profile unfit to pass through the handling port, the main body further comprising an impression in which the lardon can lock in rotation when it is in the second position, is characterized in that it comprises a bolt comprising a shaft extending along the main axis, the gib being disposed at a first end of said shaft, the shaft being axially extended at a second end opposite the first by a threaded zone, the device further comprising a movable nut, between a target position and a unscrewed position, on the zone threaded, the second end of the shaft carrying an abutment piece, the threaded zone forming with the shaft a shoulder, so that the axial displacement of the nut is limited between the abutment piece, in its unscrewed position, and the shoulder, in its screwed position.

L'arbre est de préférence formé d'une seule pièce avec le lardon.The tree is preferably formed in one piece with bacon.

Avantageusement, afin d'augmenter la compacité du dispositif, la pièce de butée est disposée pour ne jamais être située axialement au-delà de l'écrou relativement au lardon.Advantageously, in order to increase the compactness of the device, the stop piece is arranged to never be located axially beyond the nut relative to the bacon.

De préférence, le dispositif comprend des moyens pour bloquer le lardon dans sa première position relativement au corps principal.

La figure 1 illustre un dispositif de manutention 1 selon l'invention. Le dispositif 1 est organisé autour d'un axe longitudinal X1, représenté horizontalement. Ce dispositif de manutention est prévu pour venir se monter sur les trous oblongs d'un conteneur du type défini par les normes IS0668 et ISO1161.The figure 1 illustrates a handling device 1 according to the invention. The device 1 is organized around a longitudinal axis X1, shown horizontally. This handling device is intended to be mounted on the oblong holes of a container of the type defined by the standards IS0668 and ISO1161.

A la figure 1, les principaux composants du dispositif 1 sont éclatés selon l'axe X1. On distingue d'avant en arrière, l'avant et l'arrière étant arbitrairement choisis ainsi que précédemment exposé, un piton 2, une butée 3, un ressort hélicoïdal 4, un anneau 6, un écrou 7 associé à une broche 8 et une capsule annulaire 9.To the figure 1 , the main components of the device 1 are exploded along the axis X1. We distinguish from front to back, the front and rear being arbitrarily chosen as previously exposed, a pin 2, a stop 3, a coil spring 4, a ring 6, a nut 7 associated with a pin 8 and a annular capsule 9.

Le piton 2 comprend, d'avant en arrière, un lardon 11, un arbre 12, une zone intermédiaire filetée 13 et un embout cylindrique 14. L'embout cylindrique est percé d'un passage transversal 15, prévu pour recevoir la broche 8. La butée 3, le ressort 4 et l'anneau 6 sont prévus pour se monter sur l'arbre 12. L'écrou 7 est prévu pour être vissé sur la zone filetée 13. La pastille 9 est prévue pour se monter sur l'embout cylindrique 14.The bolt 2 comprises, from front to rear, a bolt 11, a shaft 12, a threaded intermediate zone 13 and a cylindrical end 14. The cylindrical end is pierced with a transverse passage 15, designed to receive the spindle 8. The stop 3, the spring 4 and the ring 6 are provided for mounting on the shaft 12. The nut 7 is provided to be screwed on the threaded zone 13. The patch 9 is provided to be mounted on the tip cylindrical 14.

Le lardon 11 a une forme transversale oblongue, complémentaire de celle d'un orifice 20 de manutention (voir figures 9-11) d'un coin d'un conteneur 60 tel que prévu par la norme ISO1161. Le lardon 11 est dimensionné de sorte que son passage dans l'orifice 20 se fait sans effort. Le lardon est symétrique relativement à l'axe X1. L'arbre 12, la zone 13 et l'embout 14 sont coaxiaux avec l'axe principal X1. L'arbre 12 s'étend vers l'arrière depuis le lardon 11. Le diamètre D12 de l'arbre 12 est inférieur à une largeur L11 du lardon 11. Le diamètre D 13 de la zone filetée 13 est inférieur au diamètre D12 de l'arbre 12, et le diamètre D14 de l'embout est inférieur au diamètre intérieur du filetage de la zone filetée 13.The gib 11 has an oblong transverse shape, complementary to that of a handling port 20 (see FIG. Figures 9-11 ) a corner of a container 60 as provided by ISO1161. The gib 11 is dimensioned so that its passage through the orifice 20 is effortless. The bacon is symmetrical about the X1 axis. The shaft 12, the zone 13 and the tip 14 are coaxial with the main axis X1. The shaft 12 extends rearwardly from the gib 11. The diameter D12 of the shaft 12 is less than a width L11 of the gib 11. The diameter D 13 of the threaded zone 13 is smaller at the diameter D12 of the shaft 12, and the diameter D14 of the nozzle is smaller than the internal diameter of the thread of the threaded zone 13.

La butée 3 comprend un corps 21 de forme transversale oblongue, sensiblement identique à celle du lardon 11 et adaptée à pénétrer sans effort dans l'orifice 20. La profondeur P21, mesurée axialement, est supérieure à l'épaisseur P20 de la paroi 19 du coin ISO1161, au voisinage de l'orifice de manutention 20. La butée 3 comprend en outre un disque 22, à l'avant duquel s'étend le corps 21. Le disque est d'axe X1, et, dans l'exemple illustré, le diamètre D22 du disque 22 est légèrement supérieur à la longueur L21 de la forme oblongue du corps 21. Comme particulièrement illustré aux figures 1 et 7, le disque 22 est prolongé vers l'arrière par une zone annulaire 23 de diamètre D23 inférieur au diamètre D22 du disque 22. Une empreinte ayant la forme d'une gorge 24, ouverte vers l'avant, est formée dans le corps 21, sensiblement transversalement à la dimension L21 la plus grande du corps 21. La largeur L24 de la gorge 24 est sensiblement identique à la largeur L11 du lardon 11, de sorte que le lardon 11 peut coulisser sans effort dans la gorge 24. L'épaisseur de matière E24 entre le fond de la gorge 24 et la face avant du disque 22 est inférieure ou égale à l'épaisseur E20 de la paroi du coin ISO1161. La gorge a une profondeur P24.The abutment 3 comprises a body 21 of oblong transverse shape, substantially identical to that of the lardon 11 and adapted to penetrate without effort into the orifice 20. The depth P21, measured axially, is greater than the thickness P20 of the wall 19 of the corner ISO1161, in the vicinity of the handling port 20. The stop 3 further comprises a disk 22, in front of which the body 21 extends. The disk is of axis X1, and in the illustrated example , the diameter D22 of the disc 22 is slightly greater than the length L21 of the oblong shape of the body 21. As particularly illustrated in FIGS. figures 1 and 7 , the disk 22 is extended rearwardly by an annular zone 23 of diameter D23 less than the diameter D22 of the disk 22. A cavity having the shape of a groove 24, open towards the front, is formed in the body 21, substantially transversely to the largest dimension L21 of the body 21. The width L24 of the groove 24 is substantially identical to the width L11 of the gib 11, so that the gib 11 can slide without effort in the groove 24. The thickness of material E24 between the bottom of the groove 24 and the front face of the disk 22 is less than or equal to the thickness E20 of the wall of the ISO1161 wedge. The throat has a depth P24.

Le lardon comprend en outre une engravure 61 à chacune des ses extrémités longitudinales, ouverte vers l'arrière (voir figure 4). Les engravures sont disposées pour laisser entre elles un tenon 62 de longueur L62. La longueur L62 du tenon est sensiblement égale à la largeur L24 de la gorge 24. Ainsi, le tenon 62 est prévu pour pouvoir s'engager dans la gorge 24 lorsque le lardon 11 est aligné avec le corps 21 de la butée 3, de sorte que le lardon 11 est bloqué en rotation relativement à la butée. Une telle disposition permet l'introduction simultanée du lardon et du corps au travers de l'ouverture 20.The lardon further comprises an engravure 61 at each of its longitudinal ends, open towards the rear (see figure 4 ). The engravures are arranged to leave between them a post 62 of length L62. The length L62 of the pin is substantially equal to the width L24 of the groove 24. Thus, the pin 62 is provided to be able to engage in the groove 24 when the blade 11 is aligned with the body 21 of the abutment 3, so that the lardon 11 is locked in rotation relative to the stop. Such an arrangement allows the simultaneous introduction of the bacon and the body through the opening 20.

La butée comprend en outre un passage 26 pour l'arbre 12. Le passage 26 s'ouvre vers l'avant au fond de la gorge 24. Le diamètre D26 du passage 26 est sensiblement identique au diamètre D12 de l'arbre 12, de sorte que l'arbre 12 puisse s'y déplacer sans effort en translation et en rotation. Le passage 12 s'ouvre vers l'arrière sur un logement cylindrique 27 de diamètre D27 supérieur au diamètre D26. Le logement 27 est prévu pour y loger le ressort 4, comme particulièrement illustré à la figure 1.The abutment further comprises a passage 26 for the shaft 12. The passage 26 opens forwardly at the bottom of the groove 24. The diameter D26 of the passage 26 is substantially identical to the diameter D12 of the shaft 12, so that the tree 12 can move without effort in translation and rotation. The passage 12 opens rearwardly on a cylindrical housing 27 of diameter D27 greater than the diameter D26. The housing 27 is provided to accommodate the spring 4, as particularly illustrated in the figure 1 .

L'anneau comprend un corps 31 et une anse 32. L'anse est articulée sur le corps autour d'un axe X6, transversal et non sécant avec l'axe principal X1. L'anse 32 s'étend sensiblement dans un plan incluant l'axe transversal X6. Le corps 31 est prévu pour être monté sur l'arbre 12. L'anse est prévue pour recevoir un crochet de levage ou un agrès d'arrimage pour le conteneur. Le corps 31 de l'anneau 6 est de forme symétrique relativement à un plan transversal à l'axe principal X1. Le corps 31 est percé d'un orifice 33 axial pour le passage sans effort de l'arbre 12. Le corps 31 comprend à l'avant et à l'arrière de l'orifice 33, des renfoncements respectifs cylindriques 34A, 34B dont les diamètres D34A et D34B sont supérieurs au diamètre D33 de l'orifice 33. Un premier renfoncement 34A s'ouvre à l'avant du corps 31. Le deuxième renfoncement 34B s'ouvre à l'arrière du corps 31.The ring comprises a body 31 and a handle 32. The handle is articulated on the body about an axis X6, transverse and non-secant with the main axis X1. The handle 32 extends substantially in a plane including the transverse axis X6. The body 31 is provided to be mounted on the shaft 12. The handle is provided to receive a lifting hook or lashing device for the container. The body 31 of the ring 6 is of symmetrical shape relative to a plane transverse to the main axis X1. The body 31 is pierced with an axial orifice 33 for the effortless passage of the shaft 12. The body 31 comprises at the front and at the rear of the orifice 33 respective cylindrical recesses 34A, 34B whose diameters D34A and D34B are greater than the diameter D33 of the orifice 33. A first recess 34A opens at the front of the body 31. The second recess 34B opens at the rear of the body 31.

Le diamètre D34A, du premier renfoncement 34A est supérieur au diamètre D23 de la zone annulaire 23 de la butée 3, de sorte que la zone annulaire 23 peut y pénétrer sans effort. En outre, le renfoncement avant 34A est prévu pour recevoir et servir d'appui au ressort 4. Ainsi, le ressort 4 est prévu pour être comprimé entre un fond à l'avant du logement 27 de la butée 3 et un fond à l'arrière du renfoncement 34A.The diameter D34A of the first recess 34A is greater than the diameter D23 of the annular zone 23 of the abutment 3, so that the annular zone 23 can enter it effortlessly. In addition, the front recess 34A is provided to receive and serve as a spring support 4. Thus, the spring 4 is provided to be compressed between a bottom at the front of the housing 27 of the abutment 3 and a bottom to the rear of the recess 34A.

Comme particulièrement illustré aux figures 5 et 6, l'écrou 7 a une partie 37 de forme transversale lobée, de sorte qu'il offre une bonne prise à l'utilisateur, de sorte que l'écrou peut être manipulé sans utilisation d'un outil. Dans l'exemple illustré, l'écrou 7 comprend quatre lobes 35, inscrit dans une forme cylindrique 35A axiale, chaque lobe 35 étant séparé de chaque lobe voisin par une cuvette cylindrique 35B.As particularly illustrated in Figures 5 and 6 the nut 7 has a lobed cross-section portion 37 so that it provides good grip to the user, so that the nut can be handled without the use of a tool. In the example shown, the nut 7 comprises four lobes 35, inscribed in a cylindrical shape 35A axial, each lobe 35 being separated from each neighboring lobe by a cylindrical bowl 35B.

L'écrou 7 comprend aussi un prolongement cylindrique 36, s'étendant vers l'avant depuis la partie lobée 37, dont le diamètre D36 s'inscrit entre les lobes 7. Le prolongement cylindrique 36 est prévu pour se loger et venir en appui dans celui 34B des renfoncements 34 qui est à l'arrière du corps 31 de l'anneau 6. L'écrou comprend en outre un trou taraudé 38 s'étendant axialement depuis l'avant de l'écrou 7 et prévu pour venir en prise sur la zone filetée 13 du piton 2. L'écrou est en outre traversé, diamétralement et de part en part d'un passage transversal 39. Le passage 39 est prévu pour venir dans le prolongement du passage 15 du piton 2 et pour y introduire la broche 8. Comme particulièrement illustré aux figures 5 et 6, l'écrou 7 comprend aussi un logement cylindrique 41, ouvert vers l'arrière, et à l'avant duquel débouche le trou taraudé 38. Le diamètre intérieur D41 du logement 41 est supérieur au diamètre extérieur du taraudage du trou taraudé 38. Le logement 41 est prévu pour recevoir la capsule 9.The nut 7 also comprises a cylindrical extension 36, extending forwards from the lobed portion 37, the diameter of which D36 is between the lobes 7. The cylindrical extension 36 is adapted to be housed and abut in that 34B of the recesses 34 which is at the rear of the body 31 of the ring 6. The nut further comprises a tapped hole 38 extending axially from the front of the nut 7 and provided to engage the threaded zone 13 of the stud 2. The nut is also traversed, diametrically and from one side of a transverse passage 39. The passage 39 is intended to come in the extension of the passage 15 of the pin 2 and to introduce the pin 8. As particularly illustrated in Figures 5 and 6 , the nut 7 also comprises a cylindrical housing 41, open towards the rear, and in front of which opens the tapped hole 38. The inner diameter D41 of the housing 41 is greater than the outside diameter of the thread of the tapped hole 38. housing 41 is provided to receive the capsule 9.

La broche 8 est une broche à billes, elle est maintenue reliée à un lobe 35 de l'écrou 7 par un câble 42. La broche 8 comprend une tige cylindrique 8A à une première extrémité de laquelle des billes 8B sont disposées. La tige 8A est reliée par une deuxième extrémité, opposée à la première, à une tête cylindrique 8C. Le diamètre D8C de la tête 8C est supérieur au diamètre 8A de la tige 8A. Le passage 39 comprend une zone élargie 39A, prévue pour y recevoir la tête 8C et diamétralement opposée, une zone 39B pour recevoir la tige 8A.The pin 8 is a ball pin, it is maintained connected to a lobe 35 of the nut 7 by a cable 42. The pin 8 comprises a cylindrical rod 8A at a first end of which balls 8B are disposed. The rod 8A is connected by a second end, opposite the first, to a cylindrical head 8C. The diameter D8C of the head 8C is greater than the diameter 8A of the rod 8A. The passage 39 comprises an enlarged zone 39A, provided to receive the head 8C and diametrically opposite, a zone 39B for receiving the rod 8A.

Comme particulièrement illustré aux figures 2 et 3, la capsule 9 est de forme annulaire. Son diamètre extérieur D9A est inférieur ou égal au diamètre du logement 41, de sorte que le l'écrou 7 peut se déplacer en translation ou en rotation autour de la capsule 9. Son diamètre intérieur D9B est sensiblement égal au diamètre D14 de l'embout 14 du piton 2, de sorte que la capsule peut être montée ajustée sur ledit embout 14. La capsule 9 comprend aussi, sur son avant, une engravure 44, formant deux épaulements coplanaires 44A. L'engravure 44 est prévue pour venir en coïncidence avec la zone 39A, pour servir de logement à la tête 8C de la broche 8, lorsque cette dernière est montée comme illustré à la figure 9. La capsule 9 comprend aussi, sur son avant, une rainure 45, diamétralement opposée à l'engravure 44 et prévue pour laisser passage à la tige 8A, dans la position de la figure 9.As particularly illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 capsule 9 is annular in shape. Its outside diameter D9A is less than or equal to the diameter of the housing 41, so that the nut 7 can move in translation or rotation around the capsule 9. Its inner diameter D9B is substantially equal to the diameter D14 of the nozzle 14 of the piton 2, so that the capsule can be mounted fitted to said tip 14. The capsule 9 also comprises, on its front, an engravure 44, forming two coplanar shoulders 44A. The engraving 44 is intended to coincide with the zone 39A, to serve as a housing for the head 8C of the pin 8, when the latter is mounted as shown in FIG. figure 9 . The capsule 9 also includes, on its before, a groove 45, diametrically opposed to the engravure 44 and provided to allow passage to the rod 8A, in the position of the figure 9 .

Le diamètre extérieur D9A est supérieur au diamètre extérieur du taraudage de l'écrou 7. Ainsi, lorsque l'écrou 7 est dévissé, la pastille peut venir en butée contre un épaulement formé entre le trou taraudé 38 et le logement 41. Lorsque l'écrou 7 est complètement vissé sur la zone filetée 13, sa face avant vient en butée contre un épaulement formé entre la zone filetée 13 et l'arbre 12.The outside diameter D9A is greater than the outside diameter of the tapping of the nut 7. Thus, when the nut 7 is unscrewed, the pellet can abut against a shoulder formed between the tapped hole 38 and the housing 41. nut 7 is completely screwed on the threaded zone 13, its front face abuts against a shoulder formed between the threaded zone 13 and the shaft 12.

En outre, la capsule 9 comprend un passage transversal 48 prévu pour venir en coïncidence avec un passage 49 correspondant de l'embout 14 afin d'y introduire une goupille élastique. Ainsi, la pastille 9 est prévue pour être monté sur le piton 2 de sorte que leurs extrémités arrières respectives 9Z, 2Z sont affleurantes entre elles.In addition, the capsule 9 comprises a transverse passage 48 provided to coincide with a corresponding passage 49 of the tip 14 to introduce an elastic pin. Thus, the patch 9 is provided to be mounted on the stud 2 so that their respective rear ends 9Z, 2Z are flush with each other.

La goupille élastique permet de fixer la pastille 9 sur le piton 2, de façon indémontable par un utilisateur du dispositif de manutention 1. Ainsi, l'écrou 7 est monté de façon imperdable sur le piton 2, entre deux positions, l'une dans laquelle l'écrou est totalement dévissé (voir figure 9), en butée contre la pastille 9, l'autre position totalement vissé (voir figures 10 et 11), dans laquelle l'écrou est en butée sur l'arbre 12. Le dispositif est 1 est configurée de sorte que quelle que soit la position de l'écrou 7, la pastille 9 est toujours à l'intérieur du logement 27. La compacité du dispositif en bénéficie particulièrement. Un tel dispositif s'étend donc moins à l'extérieur du coin du conteneur que les dispositifs de l'art antérieur.The elastic pin makes it possible to fix the pellet 9 on the stud 2, in a way that can not be dismantled by a user of the handling device 1. Thus, the nut 7 is mounted captively on the stud 2, between two positions, one in which the nut is completely unscrewed (see figure 9 ), in abutment against the pellet 9, the other fully screwed position (see Figures 10 and 11 ), wherein the nut is in abutment on the shaft 12. The device is 1 is configured so that whatever the position of the nut 7, the pellet 9 is always inside the housing 27. The compactness of the device particularly benefits. Such a device therefore extends less outside the corner of the container than the devices of the prior art.

La pastille 9, l'écrou 7 et le piton 2 forment ensemble un boulon indémontable sur lequel l'ensemble des autres pièces 3, 4, 6, 7 du dispositif 1 sont maintenues entre le lardon 11 et la pastille 9, de façon imperdable et indémontable, la broche 8 étant elle-même reliée à cet ensemble par le câble 42. Le dispositif de manutention 1 selon l'invention constitue une pièce unique qui peut être utilisée sans autre accessoire et sans outil.The pellet 9, the nut 7 and the peg 2 together form a bolt that can not be dismounted on which all the other parts 3, 4, 6, 7 of the device 1 are held between the lardon 11 and the pellet 9, in a captive manner and non-removable, the pin 8 itself being connected to this assembly by the cable 42. The handling device 1 according to the invention is a single piece that can be used without other accessories and without tools.

La butée 3 et le ressort 4 forment ensemble des moyens de rappel 3,4 qui tendent à ramener le piton vers l'arrière du dispositif.The abutment 3 and the spring 4 together form return means 3,4 which tend to bring the bolt towards the rear of the device.

Comme particulièrement illustré à la figure 5, l'écrou comprend une gorge 52 dans chacun de ses lobes 37. Les gorges 52 sont disposées de façon à ce que le câble 42 peut s'y loger lorsque la broche est dans la position de la figure 9. Ainsi, lorsque le dispositif 1 est fixé à un conteneur, le câble est protégé et rangé, sans risque d'être accroché involontairement lors d'une manipulation du conteneur.As particularly illustrated at figure 5 , the nut comprises a groove 52 in each of its lobes 37. The grooves 52 are arranged so that the cable 42 can be housed therein when the pin is in the position of the figure 9 . Thus, when the device 1 is attached to a container, the cable is protected and stored, without the risk of being hooked involuntarily during handling of the container.

On va maintenant décrire le fonctionnement du dispositif 1, notamment en référence aux figures 9 à 11. Ces figures représentent partiellement un coin ISO1161 d'un conteneur 60. Dans l'exemple illustré, l'orifice de manutention 20 du conteneur, de forme oblongue, est disposé verticalement, c'est-à-dire que sa plus grande dimension est verticale. Pour simplifier les figures, l'anse 32 n'y a pas été représentée.The operation of the device 1 will now be described, in particular with reference to the Figures 9 to 11 . These figures partially represent an ISO1161 wedge of a container 60. In the illustrated example, the container handling port 20, of oblong shape, is arranged vertically, that is to say that its largest dimension is vertical . To simplify the figures, the handle 32 has not been shown.

A la figure 9, le dispositif de manutention 1 est représenté verrouillé dans l'orifice 20. Dans cette configuration, l'écrou est vissé, en butée contre l'arbre 12. Le lardon 11 est horizontal, perpendiculaire au corps 21 de la butée 11. Le corps 21 traverse l'orifice 20, le lardon est engagé dans la gorge 24 et la paroi 19 du coin Iso est pincée entre le lardon 11 et le disque 22. Le ressort 4 tend à maintenir le lardon 11 dans la gorge 24. Il existe un jeu axial J, entre le logement 34A du corps de l'anneau 6 et la zone annulaire 23 de la butée 3. Le jeu J est inférieur à la profondeur P24 de la gorge 24, de sorte que même en cas de choc contre le dispositif 1, le lardon ne peut pas s'extraire involontairement de la gorge. Ainsi, le dispositif 1 est fixé fermement et en toute sécurité sur le conteneur 60.To the figure 9 , the handling device 1 is shown locked in the orifice 20. In this configuration, the nut is screwed, abutting against the shaft 12. The gib 11 is horizontal, perpendicular to the body 21 of the abutment 11. The body 21 passes through the orifice 20, the gib is engaged in the groove 24 and the wall 19 of the Iso wedge is pinched between the gib 11 and the disc 22. The spring 4 tends to keep the gib 11 in the groove 24. There is a axial clearance J, between the housing 34A of the body of the ring 6 and the annular zone 23 of the abutment 3. The clearance J is less than the depth P24 of the groove 24, so that even in the event of impact against the device 1, bacon can not unintentionally get out of the throat. Thus, the device 1 is fixed firmly and securely on the container 60.

Comme illustré à la figure 10, pour retirer le dispositif, on dévisse l'écrou 7 jusqu'à ce qu'il vienne buter contre la pastille 9, de sorte que le jeu J devient supérieur à la profondeur de la gorge 24. On enfonce ensuite le piton 2 vers l'avant de façon à dégager le lardon 11 de la gorge 24. On fait ensuite tourner l'écrou 7 d'un quart de tour supplémentaire, toujours dans le sens du dévissage, de telle sorte que le lardon 11 se trouve aligné avec le corps 21 de la butée 3. On relâche la pression axiale sur l'écrou, de sorte que le tenon 62 vient s'engager dans la gorge 24 et prend la position de la figure 11, sous l'action du ressort 4.As illustrated in figure 10 to remove the device, the nut 7 is unscrewed until it abuts against the pellet 9, so that the clearance J becomes greater than the depth of the groove 24. front so as to release the gib 11 from the groove 24. The nut 7 is then rotated an additional quarter turn, always in the direction of the unscrewing, so that the gib 11 is aligned with the body 21 of the abutment 3. It releases the axial pressure on the nut, so that the post 62 engages in the groove 24 and takes the position of the figure 11 under the action of spring 4.

Comme illustré à la figure 11, le lardon 11 et le corps 21 étant alignés, il suffit de retirer le dispositif vers l'arrière pour le dégager de l'ouverture 20.As illustrated in figure 11 , the lardon 11 and the body 21 being aligned, simply remove the device backwards to release it from the opening 20.

Pour remettre le dispositif en place, le dispositif étant dans la configuration de la figure 11, il faut d'abord l'engager dans l'ouverture 20. En suite, on exerce une pression sur l'écrou 7 et on fait faire un quart de tour à l'écrou, de sorte que le lardon se trouve dans la position de la figure 10. Puis, on relâche la pression, de sorte que le lardon 11 vient s'engager dans la gorge 24.To put the device back in place, the device being in the configuration of the figure 11 it must first be engaged in the opening 20. Next, it presses on the nut 7 and is made a quarter turn to the nut, so that the bacon is in the position of the figure 10 . Then, release the pressure, so that the bacon 11 is engaged in the throat 24.

Pour verrouiller le dispositif 1 sur le conteneur 60 il suffit alors de visser l'écrou 7, jusqu'à ce qu'il soit en butée contre l'arbre 12, tel qu'illustré à la figure 9. Le jeu J entre le corps 31 de l'anneau 6 a été réduit, de sorte que le jeu J est insuffisant pour que le lardon 11 puisse échapper de la gorge 24 mais suffisant pour permettre une rotation de l'anneau autour de l'axe principal X1. Ainsi, l'anneau peut librement tourner autour de l'arbre 12, de sorte qu'il peut s'aligner naturellement avec des élingues prévues pour lever le conteneur 60 ou bien être orienté, anse vers le bas, pour être utilisé à l'arrimage du conteneur sur le pont d'un navire, sur le plateau d'un camion ou dans la soute d'un aéronef.To lock the device 1 on the container 60 it is then sufficient to screw the nut 7, until it abuts against the shaft 12, as shown in FIG. figure 9 . The clearance J between the body 31 of the ring 6 has been reduced, so that the clearance J is insufficient for the bolt 11 to escape from the groove 24 but sufficient to allow rotation of the ring about the axis main X1. Thus, the ring can freely rotate about the shaft 12, so that it can align naturally with slings provided to lift the container 60 or be oriented, handle down, to be used at the stowage of the container on the deck of a ship, on the platform of a truck or in the hold of an aircraft.

Comme illustré à la figure 9, notamment lorsque le dispositif 1 est utilisé pour l'arrimage du conteneur et afin de garantir que l'écrou 7 ne se dévissera pas au cours du transport, on introduit la broche 8 dans les passages 15,39 prévus à cet effet dans l'écrou 7 et le piton 2, empêchant ainsi la rotation de l'écrou relativement au piton.As illustrated in figure 9 , especially when the device 1 is used for securing the container and to ensure that the nut 7 will not be unscrewed during transport, the pin 8 is inserted in the passages 15, 39 provided for this purpose in the nut 7 and the bolt 2, thus preventing rotation of the nut relative to the bolt.

Comme particulièrement illustré à la figure 12, le piton 2 comprend un logement axial 70 prévu pour y loger la broche 8 lorsque celle-ci ne sert pas au blocage de l'écrou 7, c'est-à-dire, notamment lorsque le dispositif 1 n'est pas verrouillé sur un conteneur 60. Ainsi, disposée, la broche est protégée et ne peut être perdue. Le logement 70 comprend une première chambre cylindrique 71 ouverte à l'extrémité arrière 2Z du piton 2. La première chambre a un diamètre D71 et une longueur L71 suffisants pour y loger la tête 8C de la broche 8. Cette première chambre 71 est prolongée vers l'avant par une deuxième chambre cylindrique 72 dont le diamètre D72 est sensiblement égal à celui D8A de la tige 8A. La deuxième chambre 72 est prolongée vers l'avant par une troisième chambre 73, de diamètre D73 supérieur au diamètre D72 de la deuxième. La deuxième chambre est plus courte que la tige 8A, de façon à ce que les billes 8B puissent se déployer dans la troisième chambre 73, de sorte que la broche 8 est maintenue en sécurité dans le logement 70. La broche comprend en outre une prise 8D s'étendant à l'opposé de la tige 8A depuis la tête 8C. La prise 8D s'étend hors du logement 70 lorsque la broche s'y trouve, de façon à fournir une prise pour pouvoir retirer la broche du logement.As particularly illustrated at figure 12 , the stud 2 comprises an axial housing 70 provided to accommodate the pin 8 when it is not used to lock the nut 7, that is to say, especially when the device 1 is not locked on a container 60. Thus, arranged, the pin is protected and can not be lost. The housing 70 comprises a first cylindrical chamber 71 open at the rear end 2Z of the stud 2. The first chamber has a diameter D71 and a length L71 sufficient to accommodate the head 8C of the pin 8. This first chamber 71 is extended towards the front by a second cylindrical chamber 72 whose diameter D72 is substantially equal to that D8A of the rod 8A. The second chamber 72 is extended forwards by a third chamber 73, of diameter D73 greater than the diameter D72 of the second. The second chamber is shorter than the rod 8A, so that the balls 8B can be deployed in the third chamber 73, so that the pin 8 is held safely in the housing 70. The pin further comprises a socket 8D extending opposite the rod 8A from the head 8C. The socket 8D extends out of the housing 70 when the pin is there, so as to provide a socket to remove the pin housing.

Un tel dispositif est particulièrement compact, de sorte qu'il peut être laissé en place sur un conteneur, sans qu'il excède le gabarit routier. Il peut ainsi, être utilisé à la fois pour le chargement et le déchargement du conteneur sur le plateau d'un camion, et, pendant le transport, servir à l'arrimage du conteneur sur ce plateau. Ainsi, les risques d'accidents liés à la mise en place d'un tel dispositif en sont diminués, en même temps que le temps perdu à une telle opération.Such a device is particularly compact, so that it can be left in place on a container, without it exceeding the road gauge. It can thus be used both for loading and unloading the container on the tray of a truck, and, during transport, used to tie the container on the tray. Thus, the risk of accidents related to the implementation of such a device are reduced, along with the time lost to such an operation.

Bien sûr, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples qui viennent d'être décrits.Of course, the invention is not limited to the examples which have just been described.

En particulier, si la description précédente a été faite en référence à la norme ISO1161, il est évident qu'un dispositif selon l'invention peut être adapté à un autre type de conteneur présentant notamment un orifice de manutention qui n'est pas circulaire, de sorte qu'une rotation d'un lardon de forme adaptée en empêche le retrait; quelle que soit la forme de l'orifice.In particular, if the foregoing description has been made with reference to the ISO1161 standard, it is obvious that a device according to the invention can be adapted to another type of container having in particular a handling port which is not circular, so that a rotation of a bacon of suitable shape prevents the withdrawal; whatever the shape of the orifice.
