Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coupling piece for coupling two stacked containers together, in particular on board ships, with an upper coupling projection for engagement in a lower corner fitting of the upper container; a lower coupling projection for engaging an upper corner fitting of the lower container; a stopper plate disposed between the coupling projections; wherein the lower coupling projection adjoins the stop plate with a shank having on one side a perpendicular to the stop plate extending front wall and on the front wall opposite side an insertion bevel, which merges at its end facing the stop plate in a chamfer for correspondence with the chamfer on Slot of the corner fitting, wherein the chamfer rests with coupled dome piece on the chamfer on the slot of the corner fitting, seen atRockuppeltem coupling piece in the longitudinal direction of the container laterally arranged coupling nose and on the side facing away from the coupling nose side of the lower coupling projection, vertical rear wall, so that the distance between a free edge of the coupling nose to the rear wall is less than or equal to the width of an upper
  • Such a coupling piece is from the DE 102 38 895 A1 or the corresponding WO 2004/020316 A1 known.
  • a first step to increase the safety of the stevedores and to accelerate the container handling in the ports were semiautomatic twistlocks (Semi Automatic Twistlock - SAT).
  • Semiautomatic twistlocks automatically lock when the upper container is placed on the lower container so that the stacked containers are firmly coupled together.
  • the semi-automatic twistlocks must be manually opened by the stevedores. This is very safe for the stevedores, since, once the ship is in port, they can open all the twistlocks of the containers to be dropped and then leave the ship before the containers are hoisted off the shelf. The stevedores no longer need to be under suspended loads. The manual uncoupling of the twistlocks is still very time consuming.
  • the invention is based on the problem of further developing the coupling piece mentioned above in such a way that it reliably couples two containers stacked on top of one another, even in the case of pure tensile forces, and prevents "Z movements" during coupling and uncoupling.
  • the coupling piece according to the invention is characterized in that the lower coupling projection in the rear wall has a groove extending over the entire length of the lower coupling projection recess.
  • the dome piece according to the invention is thus essentially like a fully automatic twistlock after DE 102 38 895 A1 or the corresponding WO 2004/020316 A1 educated. However, it is provided in the rear wall of the twistlock a groove-like recess, wherein the distance of a free edge of the coupling nose to the rear wall is less than or equal to the width of an upper slot in the upper corner fitting. As a result, there is no longer a "Z movement" when connecting and disconnecting.
  • the coupling nose slides on the tension side despite all precautions from the associated corner fitting, so get free behind the edge of the upper slot this corner fitting, the upper container slides horizontally on the lower container in a direction opposite to the direction in which the coupling nose is set, ie in the direction of the recess.
  • the edge of the upper slot opposite the coupling nose engages with the recess, so that the coupling piece is not completely decoupled.
  • the upper container remains coupled to the lower container.
  • the coupling piece according to the invention thus has certain emergency running properties.
  • the sloping shoulder need not be as flat as an oblique shoulder of the coupling nose.
  • the angle of the shoulder to a rear wall of the lower coupling projection can therefore be greater than the angle of the shoulder of the coupling nose to a front wall.
  • the shoulder of the nose is aligned with an inner surface of a recessed grip in the lower coupling projection.
  • the dome pieces are namely Usually made of cast steel and the aligned shoulder simplifies the mold.
  • the recess On a side opposite the nose, ie on a side facing the upper coupling projection side, the recess is bounded by a further development of the invention by an insertion bevel.
  • Insertion bevel ensures that the coupling piece (again) reaches its coupled position.
  • the coupling piece shown has an upper coupling projection 10 and a lower coupling projection 11. Between the coupling projections 10, 11 a stop plate 12 is arranged, which simultaneously forms a parting plane between two stacked containers (not shown). The bottom of the stop plate 12 rests on the top of the upper corner fitting of the lower container, while the bottom of the lower corner fitting of the upper container is on the top of the stop plate 12.
  • form the stop plate 12 in a known manner only as a wedge-like projecting bead, which then engages in a groove formed on the slots of the Eckbehave groove, so that the corner fittings of the container are directly on each other.
  • the upper coupling projection 10 has above the stop plate 12 on a shaft 13 which in turn on its side facing away from the stop plate 12 a Head 14 carries. As in Fig. 1 can be clearly seen, the head 14 is on both sides on the shaft 13, thus forming locking projections 15 and 16th
  • the lower coupling projection 11 also includes a shaft 17 to the stop plate 12 at.
  • the shaft 17 has on one side a perpendicular to the stop plate 12 extending front wall 18.
  • At the front wall 18 opposite side of the shaft 17 has an insertion bevel 19, which merges at its end facing the stop plate 12 in a chamfer 20.
  • This chamfer 20 corresponds to a chamfer on the slot of the corner fitting and rests with coupled coupling piece on this chamfer.
  • the chamfer 20 could therefore also be regarded as part of the stop plate 12, in particular if the stop plate 12, as explained above, is formed only as a bead.
  • the insertion bevel 19 is at its end facing away from the stop plate 12 in an arc-like manner in a rear wall 21, which is also arranged perpendicular to the stop plate 12.
  • the lower coupling projection 11 further has a coupling nose 22, which is opposite to the rear wall 21.
  • the coupling nose 22 is arranged laterally with respect to a longitudinal axis of the two containers to be coupled together.
  • the coupling nose 22 On its upper side, the coupling nose 22 has an obliquely outwardly sloping shoulder 23.
  • a Ein Industrieskegel 24 is disposed on the underside of the coupling nose 22.
  • the width b of the coupling nose 22, that is, a distance of a free edge 25 of the coupling nose 22 to the rear wall 21, is at most as wide as the width of the slot into which the lower coupling projection 11 engages.
  • the coupling piece according to the present embodiment has a groove-like recess 26 in the rear wall 21.
  • the recess 26 extends over the entire length of the lower coupling projection 11 and the rear wall 21 and has a parallel to the rear wall 21 extending bottom 27.
  • the groove 26 At her the upper one Coupling projection 10 and the stop plate 12 facing side, the groove 26 by an insertion bevel 28 and at its the insertion chamfer 28 opposite, so from the upper coupling projection 10 and the stop plate 12 opposite side, bounded by an inclined shoulder 29.
  • the groove 26 thus has the shape of a trapezoid, wherein the angle of the insertion bevel 28 on the one hand and the oblique shoulder 29 on the other hand need not be equal to the rear wall 21. Rather, it is in Fig. 1 good to see that the insertion bevel 28 is steeper, namely an angle of about 135 °, as the inclined shoulder 29, which has an angle ⁇ 29 of about 110 ° to the rear wall 21.
  • the oblique shoulder 29 is not as steep as the oblique shoulder 23 of the coupling nose 22.
  • the recess 26 delimiting oblique shoulder 29 is aligned to a lower inner surface 30 of a recessed grip 31, which in Fig. 1 is shown as a hidden edge with a dashed line.
  • a further nose 32 is formed, the top of which forms the recess 26 bounding oblique shoulder 29. With this additional nose 32, the coupling piece can if necessary chop behind an edge on the upper slot of the associated corner fitting.
  • the locking projections 15, 16 of the head 14 of the upper coupling projection 10 have lower, the stop plate 12 facing bearing surfaces 33 and 34, respectively.
  • the bearing surface 34 of the locking projection 16, which is arranged above the locking lug 22, is closer to the upper side of the stop plate 12 (parting plane between the stacked containers), ie lower, arranged as the bearing surface 33 of the opposite locking projection 15th
