Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of ISO containers adjustable in the length direction, and more particularly to an optimized use of such adjustable ISO containers.
- This invention and the claims attached to it were the subject of a patent application filed in France at the end of May 2013 by the same applicant and inventor namely Mr. Mohamed Sahbi MILED.
- the intermodal container is a box (preferably a parallelepiped), usually made of steel, reusable-and-standardized-used-for-the-stoekage-and-the-freight-of-goods-The-intermodal-freight system containerized is global and allows for safe and efficient movement of goods.
- the term "intermodal" indicates that the container can be moved from one mode of transport to another (maritime, river, rail, road) without breaking the load, that is to say without unloading and reloading the contents of the container.
- the containers each have a unique identification mark governed by ISO 6346; their length generally varies from 8 feet (2.388 m) to 56 feet (17.07 m) and their height from 8 feet (2.438 m) to 9 feet 6 inches (2.9 m).
- the capacity of the containers is often expressed in units equivalent to twenty feet (capacity equal to a length standard of 6.10 m "width of 2.44 m).
- ISO containers we will call them later the "ISO containers" because they must comply with the ISO requirements in force at the time of their manufacture; for example in transport to allow transport by truck, train, boat and / or barge.
- ISO 568: 1995 which defines containers of 10, 20, 30 and 40 feet
- ISO 668: 2013 whose contents are incorporated herein by reference.
- the present invention thus relates to the field of ISO containers adjustable in the direction of their length, and more particularly to an optimized use of such adjustable ISO containers.
- ISO standardization of container transport has greatly contributed to a streamlining of container transport on a global scale
- the Applicant has developed a critical improvement to the container transport system which will allow for better management of containers. movements of goods around the world. Indeed, globalization leads to unbalanced container freight movements that can not be controlled and / or optimized because of the global mobility of supply and demand. Containers that have traveled from one point to another often end up either in storage at the destination, or leave empty and / or partially filled to another destination. There is therefore a need for optimization of container transport while respecting the international standards in force.
- WO2011110725 relates to an adaptable container, provided with means for modifying its dimensions so that the columns of its frame and the walls Lateral, frontal and posterior are expandable from standard container to double height container.
- the particularly sought-after application for containers of this type concerns the habitat; indeed, Figure 10 of WO2011110725 shows a modular assembly obtained by grouping the different containers together and attaching them to each other (this including a stack) to form a house, a showroom, a place of leisure,. ..
- the present invention therefore relates to the field of ISO containers adjustable in the direction of their length, and more particularly the optimized use of such adjustable ISO containers.
- An ISO container is a transport vehicle
- an adjustable ISO container consisting of a central element characterized in that said central element comprises a fixed central portion corresponding to an ISO container of dimension A and two integral parts of the fixed central part, movable in the length direction and deployable on either side of the fixed central part, and allowing the conversion of the dimension A container into a container of dimension B greater than A.
- the present invention also relates to the use of an adjustable ISO container consisting of a central element characterized in that said central element comprises a fixed central portion corresponding to an ISO container of dimension A and two integral parts of the fixed central part , movable lengthwise and deployable on both sides of the fixed central part, and allowing the transformation of the dimension A container into a B-size container greater than A, said use relating to the transport of goods by A-size ISO container and B-size ISO container using the same ISO adjustable container.
- the present invention also relates to a method of optimizing the transport of goods by the use of the adjustable ISO container as claimed.
- Figure 1 illustrates a three-dimensional view of an exemplary ISO container according to the present invention in its elongated configuration.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a three-dimensional view of an exemplary ISO container according to the present invention in its elongated configuration, a configuration realized by means of a motorized machine also shown in the figure.
- Figure 1 illustrates:
- the elongate configuration (“elongated mode") according to FIG. 1 illustrates a dimension container.
- adjustable container retains its ISO characteristics and requirements in all configurations, whether the latter are compact or elongated.
- the adjustable container according to the present invention comprises wedge pieces allowing the said container to be tied down and / or stacked on other containers (and vice and
- the container according to the present invention comprises at least four corner pieces either on its upper face or on its lower face; preferably at least four corner pieces on each of these two faces, ie eight corner pieces. These corner pieces are arranged at the four / eight ends of the faces - in accordance with the ISO standards for existing containers and in force at the time of their
- the container according to the present invention also comprises at least four corner pieces either on its upper face or on its lower face; preferably at least four corner pieces on each of these two faces, eight corner pieces. These corner pieces are arranged at the four / eight ends of the
- the movable lateral parts which merge with the fixed central part in compact mode have an identical length.
- the interlocking between the removable parts and the fixed central part can be done in any way-suitable-for-as-as-the-container-retains its-characteristic-ISO-in-all-its
- the movable lateral parts which merge with the fixed central part may either surround the said central part or - and this constitutes a preferred configuration according to the present invention corresponding to the illustration of FIG. said fixed central part in compact mode.
- the corner pieces of the moving parts will preferably be removable so as not to disturb the movement of the moving parts within the fixed part.
- the corner pieces of the fixed central part will preferably be removable so as not to disturb the movement of the moving parts outside the fixed part.
- said container comprises at least sixteen corner pieces, of which at least eight are on its upper face and at least eight on its lower face; and, preferably, at least eight of which are removable.
- each of the son containers will be equipped with two pieces of wedges at the top that can be removed laterally to allow the integral entry of the
- the wire containers also each have two corner pieces attached at the bottom.
- the container will also be equipped with a pin pin which will be positioned according to the desired dimensions (45, 40, 30, 20, 10 ).
- the container according to the present invention may also be provided with additional anchor points 150.
- the two moving parts in the direction of the length of the container and deployable on either side of the fixed central portion are integral with the fixed central portion.
- This solidarity can be obtained by any appropriate means provided that the container retains its ISO characteristic in all its possible configurations.
- the "solidarity system” and will be given by way of non-limiting examples the linear guiding systems, for example linear roller guide systems, guide tables, roller / rail systems, the guide rails with cage, pneumatic linear guide modules, etc.
- the integral system comprises at least one linear guide system, preferably at least two 160 linear guidance, allowing the mobility of the deployable parts relative to the fixed part of the container.
- These guiding systems can be placed on any longitudinal faces integral with the moving parts and the fixed part of the container, for example only on their upper walls or, preferably on both their upper and lower walls, or on all of their longitudinal walls.
- the system can be placed on any longitudinal faces integral with the moving parts and the fixed part of the container, for example only on their upper walls or, preferably on both their upper and lower walls, or on all of their longitudinal walls.
- the container 165 integral with the container according to the present invention comprises at least four linear guide systems of which at least two are on the upper walls and at least two on the lower walls; it may also advantageously add at least one linear guide system positioned on the longitudinal side walls of the container.
- the integral system 170 also comprises a rigid axis, movable within the guide system, and of length substantially equivalent to the maximum length available on the corresponding wall of the fixed part. .
- This type of configuration allows the preservation of the ISO feature of the container in elongated mode and therefore its rigidity.
- a characteristic of configurations of this type is that the guide system of the left mobile part is not aligned with the guide system of the right-hand mobile part of the container.
- the integral system also comprises safety stop systems for controlling the
- the container comprises at least two safety stop systems, one for each part
- Any other type of solidarity system may also be used provided that it allows the mobility of the moving parts relative to the fixed part and as long as the container retains its ISO characteristic in all its possible configurations.
- the two integral parts of the fixed central part of the container and 190 deployable on either side of said fixed central portion are movable and preferably of identical length.
- the dimensions of the moving parts protruding on either side of the fixed part are identical.
- the mobility of the deployable parts of the container according to the present invention can be provided by any suitable means; this mobility can be of autonomous, semi-autonomous or forced type as explained below.
- finite elements of resistance is the following: with a system of guide in translation by rollers placed laterally as well as a system composed of ball socket which will be placed at the top and bottom, the two son containers make lateral movements inside the mother container.
- the latter system of 200 guidance in translation by rolling elements ensures proper operation and reduces the phenomena of friction.
- the solutions used were designed and manufactured from parts (standard guide elements).
- the mother container is a welded structure in the form of a metal corridor.
- the welded parts are simple and standard geometries that exist on the market.
- the lateral sides are made from rebate sheets like conventional containers.
- the ceiling is when it is made from sheets with EPE beams to ensure the maintenance and proper operation of the rails.
- the mother container and to facilitate the movement of the son containers will also include sockets and pebbles. ( Figure 3,4 and 5).
- each will be equipped with two laterally removable upper corner pieces 210 to allow the complete entry of the son containers in the mother container. These pieces of corners that are moved with a screw guided by an oblong hole will be fixed at the desired position depending on the position of the son containers. If the wire containers are in the closed position to have the dimension 20 feet "these-pieces-of-corner-will-not-be-functional-by-e-shells-containers-son-are in open position, that is to say we will have a container of dimensions 40 feet, these corner pieces will be 215 functional and will be used for fixing the containers and possibly handling the container.
- the wire containers also each have two corner pieces attached at the bottom.
- the mobility illustrated therein is of the "forced" type because it is carried out using a motorized machine (for example of the truck, forklift, etc. type) which therefore allows pulling on the moving parts so as to deploy the container to its elongate mode and / or to push the moving parts back so as to return the container to its compact mode.
- a motorized machine for example of the truck, forklift, etc. type
- the opening and closing as well as the assembly of the removable parts can be performed by a dedicated fixed station for this new type of container.
- the adjustable ISO container can be easily adapted to become an automated system with variable structure.
- the eight adjustable ISO container corners may for example support the load of five 40 foot containers; as for the handling, it can be performed by the 4 welded corners on the fixed central part.
- each integral part must bear a maximum load of 7 tonnes of goods and the adjustable ISO container must not exceed 30 tonnes.
- the displacement of the moving parts towards the elongated and compact modes of the container is will do in a synchronized way.
- the major part of the adjustable ISO container according to the present invention may be steel (eg S355 having a high yield strength). Both moving parts can also be steel (eg S355 having a high yield strength). Both moving parts can also be steel (eg S355 having a high yield strength). Both moving parts can also be steel (eg S355 having a high yield strength). Both moving parts can also be steel (eg S355 having a high yield strength).

Both moving parts can also be steel (eg S355 having a high yield strength). Both moving parts can also
- the removable parts may be of light material (eg aluminum alloy) to facilitate manual assembly.
- light material eg aluminum alloy
- the movable parts of the container comprise and / or consist of materials lighter than the fixed part. They can also be constituted by isothermal walls to have a refrigerated container in compact mode.
- This invention will also have a container adaptable to the nature of the commodity to have an open top container from a dry container or also an insulated container.
- the present invention thus makes it possible to considerably reduce the transport costs of the empty and / or partially filled containers 270.
- the present invention contributes to the respect of the environment by optimizing the transport of goods and the number of empty journeys. And finally improves the insulation of containers.
- the present invention therefore also relates to a method of optimizing the transport by the use of the adjustable ISO container as claimed.
- This optimization can also be achieved with a new concept called the fractional container, which consists of making small containers of lengths 5 or 10 feet and width 4 or 8 feet and which will be glued at corner pieces by a new tool that we call. So to have a 20 feet ISO container is assembled 4 containers 5 feet long and 8 feet wide next to one another or also by bringing together 8 containers of dimensions 5 feet by 4 feet.
