Definitions
- a slidable locking mechanism for a collapsible shipping container comprises a plate, a linkage bar coupled to the plate, a lever arm coupled to the linkage bar and having a hinge point at one end and a removable pin.
- the linkage bar and plate move in a lateral direction upon rotation of the lever arm about the hinge point.
- FIG. 104 is a perspective view of the upper cap plate of the door right access panel.
- FIG. 131 is a detailed perspective view of the external locking mechanism of
- a hammer locking mechanism 78 is slideably secured to the hammer lock retainers 732 in the recessed portion730 of the lower portion of the base right beam 676.
- the hammer locking mechanism 78 therein includes a slide hammer 79 slideably mounted on a hammer locking bolt 80.
- the hammer locking bolt 80 can be selectively positioned at an unlocked position in which the hammer locking bolt 80 is in a retracted position substantially outside of the interlock 116 immediately adjacent thereto, and a locked position in which the locking bolt 80 extends through the bolt holes 726, 728 of the interlock 116 immediately adjacent thereto.
- each of the locking bolt assemblies 773 so described is selectively positionable between a first position in which the locking bolt 823 is received within one of the locking bolt holes 610 in the lower face 608 of the roof right beam 600, when the container 10 is in the unfolded condition, and a second position in which the locking bolt 823 is fully withdrawn from that locking bolt hole 610.
- corrugated sheet metal 910 extends from the front right upper cap plate 895 to the front right beam 900 along the entire length thereof, and from the first front right access member 903 to the second front right access member 906 along the entire length thereof.
- the corrugated sheet metal 910 is welded all along its entire perimeter to the immediately adjacent front right upper cap plate 895, first front right access member 903, front right beam 900, and second front right access member 906.
- the second front right access member 906 is welded to the corrugated sheet metal 910 such that the long flange 907 is visible from the interior of the container 10 when the container 10 is in its unfolded condition. As shown in FIGS.
- a locking bar 943 is pivotably connected at one end 944 to one of the locking rods 92 of the right door 926, and a locking block 945 is fixedly secured to the left door 927 at a location that is aligned with the locking bar 943 when both of the doors 926, 927 are closed.
- the locking bar 943 further includes a lock pin hole 946 that extends vertically through the locking bar 943, and the locking bar 943 has a locking rod recess 947 adjacent the distal end 948 of the locking bar 943.
- each of the locking bolt assemblies 3919 so described is selectively positionable between a first position in which the locking bolt 823 is received within one of the locking bolt holes 610 in the lower face 608 of the roof right beam 600 when the container 10 is in the unfolded condition, and a second position in which the locking bolt 823 is fully withdrawn from that locking bolt hole 610.
- a slide locking mechanism 4916 including a slide lock lever 4917, and a slide locking bolt 4918, is slideably secured to each of the slide lock retainers 4915 within the recesses 4914 such that each slide locking mechanism 4916 is positionable by use of one of the slide lock levers 4917 between an unlocked position in which the respective slide locking bolt 4918 is in a retracted position outside of the left side bolt holes 795 of the left side panel 16, and a locked position in which the respective slide locking bolt 4918 extends through the immediately adjacent locking bolt hole 4909 of the second door left access member 4906 and one of the left side bolt holes 795 of the left side panel 16.
- FIG. 115 shows a schematic side view of the base 17 with the side panels erect.
- the side panels are structurally tied to the base panel 17 by side hinge members that provide both a hinge function for the side panels, and shear load capability for the container in its unfolded condition. While this design may perform satisfactorily, it incorporates structural features that may not be desirable in certain applications.
- the side panels which provide 80% of the load carrying capability of the base panel 17 (by effectively increasing the beam-height from a structural point of view), do not extend all the way to the ends of the base panel 17 where the right and left side door interlocks, and the right and left side front interlocks take all of the vertical loading. Consequently, stress is concentrated at the points 5009, 5010, where the ends of the side panels meet the base panel 17. By extending the side panels the full length of the base panel 17, to the end of the beam, this stress concentration can be eliminated.
- the pin ratcheting feature 5027 which is preferably a cylindrical disk, includes a plurality of gear teeth 5028 which face the non- cylindrical section 5026 and which are all canted in the same circumferential direction.
- the non-cylindrical section 5026 and the pin ratcheting feature 5027 are integral with the cylindrical main section 5025, so that rotation of the non-cylindrical section 5026 necessarily causes the pin ratcheting feature 5027 to rotate in the same direction.
- the hinge pin 5024 of the hinge pin torsion spring 5023 is received within a hole 5036 in base hinge member 5022.
- the hole 5036 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cylindrical main portion 5025 of the hinge pin 5024 so as to allow the hinge pin to rotate freely therein.
- the attachment ring 5031 is fixedly attached to the base hinge member 5022, either by welding or by some other attachment method that prevents rotation between the attachment ring 5031 and base hinge member 5022.
- Base hinge member 5022 is welded to the base left beam 685 along the vertical edge 5037 immediately adjacent thereto, and to the base left beam 685 along the horizontal edge 5038 immediately adjacent thereto.
- the hammer locks located on the roof panel adjacent the front edge thereof are engaged by hammering the locking bolts into the holes of the interlocks and the holes of the base tangs received therein, as shown in FIG. 111.
- This locks the roof panel to the base panel at the front edges thereof.
- the pair of locking straps are removed from their stored position, and then re-attached to the folded container such that each locking strap is located between a pair of upper door stop receivers in the roof panel, and a pair of lower door stop receivers in the base panel.
- two locking levers 6202 and corresponding corner posts 6002 are positioned adjacent a front panel 12 and an additional two locking levers 6202 and corresponding corner posts 6002 are positioned adjacent a door panel 18 of the container.
- Use of four locking levers 6202 provides sufficient locking redundancy and security for a collapsed storage container.
