  • the vertical portions 3a of the stanchion stool 3 have a height h1. Corner fittings 4 can be found at the corners of the frame 2 'of the base plate 2. As can be seen in this figure, the width B3 of the stanchions 3 is greater than the width B2 of the base frame 2 '. As explained in more detail below, this helps to maximize the volume of wood that can be transported by means of a container wagon. To secure the wood to be transported (not shown here) 3 lashing straps 5 and hooks 6 are provided attached to the frame 2 'of the base plate 2 between two stanchion bolsters. Details of the lashing straps 5 and the hooks 6 are explained below.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a device for transporting wood, by means of which wood can be transported on container wagons with maximum loading capacity and with the required safety, without the container wagons having to be modified.
  • container wagons especially the type Sg ..., have a total loading length that is a multiple of the standardized basic length of 20 feet. So-called Sgns wagons with a total loading length of 60 feet are particularly widespread.
  • the device 1 can be placed on as many as possible container wagons which have a total loading length of a multiple of 20 feet, the length L2 of the device 1 is preferably 20 feet.

  • the device according to the invention can also have a length of 40 feet in addition to 20 feet.
  • Figure 2 shows a perspective, schematic view of a container wagon 100 of the type Sg .... Since the dimensions in the container business are preferably entered in the imperial unit system, the dimensions of the various elements are also entered here in this unit system. But he is definitely an expert able to convert these units into units of the metric system.
  • a Sgns wagon 100 has a loading length L100 of at least 18400mm, which is slightly more than 60 feet, and a width B100 of 2438mm, approx. 8 feet, which corresponds to the width of an ISO container.
  • the trolley 100 has an open frame 101 on which twenty-eight foldable mounting pins 102 are attached. In the Figure 2 certain landing pegs 102 are shown in their unfolded position and others in their folded down position. Details of the placement pin 102 in their unfolded position can be seen in the detailed view. The shape and dimensions of the pins 102 are part of ISO standard 668. So that the device 1 can be placed on the mounting pins 102, the device 1 has mounting holes 4a in the fastening modules 4, such as Figures 3 and 4th show. The lateral D4a and longitudinal D4b distances between the placement holes 4a are selected such that the device 1 can be placed on the standardized placement pins 102 of the container wagon 100.
  • the placement pins 102 are positioned in the trolley 100 in such a way that containers with a length of 20, 30, 40 or 60 feet can be transported on the trolley 100.
  • a distance LA between pins A1 and A2 which corresponds to the length of a 20 foot container.
  • the distance between pins A1 and B1 corresponds to a container with a length of 30 feet
  • the distance between pins A1 and C1 corresponds to a container with a length of 40 feet
  • the distance between pins A1 and D1 corresponds to a length of 60 feet.
  • the foldable attachment pins 102 therefore ensure a very high degree of flexibility in the position on which the 20-foot container can be attached.
  • pins A3 and A4 are also spaced apart by a length LA and therefore enable a 20-foot container to be placed on the carriage 102 at the position of these pins.
  • a device 1 for transporting wood with a length of 20 feet can therefore be placed on the trolley 100 at various positions.
  • the device 1 is designed so that it can be placed in particular on the placement pins A1 and A2. So find three Devices 1 on a Sgns trolley 100 place, as in Figure 5 shown. As can be seen in this figure, the three devices 1 are not arranged directly flush with one another, but there is a distance Ds between two devices 1.
  • a protective plate 110 is arranged between two devices 1.
  • the protective plates 110 are each fastened to only one device 1 by means of fastening means 111.
  • the upper frame width B100 of a Sgns wagon 100 corresponds to the width of ISO containers.
  • the width B100 is, however, smaller than the maximum permitted width of a rail vehicle or rail car in the clearance profile. It is therefore possible for the device 1 to have a width B3 which is greater than B100.
  • container wagons 100 such as Sgns wagons
  • Container transport wagons 100 have no further fastening means or means for securing the goods to be transported apart from the placement pins 102 and therefore cannot easily transport wood.
  • a container wagon 100 in particular a Sgns wagon
  • the device 1 comprises the hooks 6 and the lashing straps 5.
  • the lashing straps 5 are on one side of the device 1 on the tensioning mechanisms 5 'attached, for example in the form of a winch as can be clearly seen in FIG.
  • the lashing straps 5 with the tensioning mechanisms 5 ' are secured to the frame 2' of the base plate 2 of the device 1 for empty journeys with the triangle 7 on the bolt 5 '''.
  • the other end of the lashing straps is fixed by means of a pin in the winch 5 'so that the straps can be exchanged particularly easily.
  • the lashing straps 5 have a triangle 7 at one end (see Figures 10 and 11 ), which can be inserted into the hook 6.
  • protective plates are also used 5 "provided ( Figures 6 and 7 ).
  • the hooks 6 are preferably welded to the frame 2 '.
  • the stanchion bolsters 3 which are advantageously designed with a U-profile, have a bevel 3b at the uppermost end of the vertical portions 3a of height h1.
  • the height h1 of the vertical portions 3a with the bevels 3b and the width B3 of the stanchions 3 of the device 1 correspond in the loaded state to the maximum permitted clearance profile G1, or G2 or another standardized profile.
  • the vertical portions 3a of the stanchions 3 are not aligned exactly perpendicular to the base plate 2 of the device 1.
  • the angle ⁇ allows the elastic, high-strength stanchions to deform under load without exceeding the clearance profile.
  • FIG 13 shows a perspective view of a second preferred embodiment of a device 1 for transporting wood according to the present invention.
  • the device 1 of the second embodiment additionally comprises the attachment blocks 8.
  • the height h8 of the attachment blocks is selected such that a container 10 can be placed on the attachment blocks 8 without the container touching the upper edge of the stanchion bolsters 3.
  • the attachment blocks 8 have attachment pins 102 which can be folded down like a standardized container wagon 100.
  • the placement pegs 102 of the placement blocks 8 can preferably be folded outwards, that is to say in the opposite direction of the opposite placement block.
  • the device 1 can optionally be used to transport wood or, as indicated by the dashed line, a container 10 without having to modify the device 1.
  • the placement pins 102 are advantageously folded over, as in FIG Figure 17 shown, and thus protected.
  • the mounting pins 102 are again in the in Figure 16 shown position unfolded.
  • the placement pins 102 are mounted on the plates 103, which are connected to the placement blocks 8 of the device 1 via the joints 104.
  • the joint 104 is designed in such a way that the pin 102 has a clearance. The pin 102 can thus be folded shut and pushed under a securing guide and thus secured from being opened while driving.
  • so-called 20-foot ISO containers and 20-foot swap bodies with a width of up to 2550 mm can be transported. If two or more devices 1 comprising the attachment blocks 8 are combined on a container wagon, similar to FIG Figure 5 The situation shown here, larger containers can also be transported, for example 40-foot containers.
  • FIG. 9 shows a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of a hook 6 which, together with a triangle 7, forms a securing device 9 according to the invention.
  • the hook 6 comprises a hook body 6a, a hook slot 6b and a flat part 6c for attaching, for example by welding, the hook 6 to, for example, a device 1 for transporting wood.
  • the hook slot 6b is oriented obliquely with respect to the longitudinal axis C of the flat part 6c.
  • the angle between the hook slot and the longitudinal axis C is preferably at least 45 °, more advantageously at least 60 °.
  • the orientation of the slot 6c with respect to the longitudinal axis C ensures that a triangle 7, which has been snapped into the hook 6 and is logically guided by a lashing strap, cannot separate from the hook 6 without external influence.
  • Figure 10 shows a triangle 7, which comprises a triangle body 7b, in the form of a triangle, and two flattened areas 7a.
  • the thickness of the triangle body 7b is selected such that it is greater than the width of the slot 6b of the hook 6.
  • the thickness of the triangle 7 at the positions of the flats 7a is, however, selected to be just small enough that the triangle 7 can be inserted into the hook 6, as in FIG Figure 11 shown.
  • a belt 5 is shown schematically.
  • the hook 6 and the triangle 7 together form a securing device 9, by means of which wood can be secured on a device for transporting wood 1 or on another freight wagon suitable for transporting wood.
  • the belt 5 can be tensioned, for example by means of a winch 5 ′ of the device for transporting wood 1.
  • Figure 12 shows the relative positions of the triangle 7 and the hook 6 after tensioning the belt 5. Even if the triangle 7 were to move within the hook 6 during transport, it is practically impossible that the triangle 7, thanks to the dimensions of the slot 6b and of the body 7b and the orientation of the slot 6b with respect to the longitudinal axis C, would fall out of the hook 6 by itself.
