Abstract

CONTAINER, SUCH AS A SEA CONTAINER, WITH RIBBED UPRIGHTS. IT INCLUDES A FLOOR 17, A FRONT SIDE 10, A SIDE FOR OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOORS OPPOSED TO THE SAID FRONT SIDE, AND TWO SIDE SIDES 11, 12, THE SAID FACES BEING ASSEMBLED ON FOUR ANGLE POSTS 6, 7 .. MADE WITH THE HELP OF RIBBED PROFILES. EACH UPRIGHT 7 SHAPES AT THE TOP OF DIHEDRUS SHAPED BY THE TWO SIDES 10, 12, ... THAT IT ASSEMBLIES, A VERTICAL TUBE 19 OF CLOSED SECTION, AND CONTAINS ON EACH OF ITS SIDES A FLAT PART 21, 22 FOLLOWED BY RIB 23, 24, ON WHICH IS FIXED THE END OF THE CORRESPONDING FACE 10, 12 SO AS TO FORM ANOTHER VERTICAL TUBE WITH A CLOSED SECTION 25, 26. AT LEAST ONE OF THE TUBES 25, 26 IS USED BY DRILLING ORIFICES 27, 28, 29, AS A CHIMNEY FOR AERATION OF THE INTERIOR PART OF THE CONTAINER.

Description

The present invention relates to a container, such as a

  maritime container, with ribbed posts.

  Such a container generally comprises a floor, a completely closed front, an opening and closing face composed of doors, opposite said front face, and two full side faces. All the faces are assembled at an angle. straight, by welding

  or other, on four corner posts, one at each corner, made

  tagously using ribbed sections, hardened by cold profiling,

  which gives them great mechanical strength.

  With the amounts currently used, there is always, at the top of the dihedron formed by each amount in the extension of the two

  faces that it assembles, a narrow nook particularly difficult to paint-

  dre and therefore susceptible to corrosion attacks.

  The present invention relates to a container which does not have this kind of disadvantage. Moreover, the container of the invention is

  increased strength, allowing the use of more lightweight materials

  reduce its dead weight In addition, such a container is

  constructed in such a way that it allows, by a simple piercing of

  additional fires, to create vertical ventilation chimneys

  avoiding condensation inside the container It is essential to

  characterized in that each amount is realized in such a way as to form, at

  top of the dihedron formed by the two faces that it assembles, a vertical tube

  cal of closed section, and, to comprise at least on one of the faces of the-

  said dihedron, a flat part followed by a rib on which is fixed the end of the face corresponding to said side so as to form there

  at least one other vertical tube of closed section.

  The invention will be better understood from the following description:

  a non-limiting example of embodiment, with reference to the appended drawings in which

  FIG. 1 is an end view of the front face of the container of the in-

  Figure 2 is a partial sectional view in the direction AA of Figure 1; Figure 3 is an enlarged view of one of the corner posts of the container of the invention; Figure 4 is a sectional view in the direction; BB of Figure 3 showing the use of the amount according to the invention as a chimney

  aeration of the inner part of the container.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the front face 1 of the con-

  content contains four grip boxes (2,3,4,5) called "corner pieces"

  on which are welded the corner posts (6,7), which are vertically

  caux, and the upper 8 and lower 9 sleepers, which are horizontally

  The corrugated bottom plate 10 is welded on the one hand to the uprights (6, 7) and on the other hand to the crosspieces (8, 9). This front panel, thus formed, is connected in the same way to the corrugated side plates. (11,12) and

  upper (13,14) and lower (15,16 d) spars to form the

  The rear half is made of the same material

  However, the bottom plate 10 is replaced by the rear doors of the container. The base of the container is constituted by a wooden floor.

  resting on auxiliary support beams (18, FIGS. 3 and 4)

  over the lower corner pieces (5,6) The roof of the

  neur, not apparent in the drawings, is for example also constituted by a corrugated sheet It can be also b Mché on certain models

container called "open-top".

  Referring now more particularly to FIGS. 3 and 4, an angle post such as the amount 7 is constituted in accordance with

  to the invention, from a rib profile, in the form

  3, that is to say having a vertical tube 19 of square section, closed by the junction of two

  folds and sealed with a plastic gasket 20

  that, located, as we see in the drawing, at the top of the dihedron formed by the two faces (10,12) assembled by the amount 7

  two perpendicular plane portions (21,22) contiguous with each

  said faces (10,12) assembled and following said tube 19 following each of said planar portions (respectively 21,22)

  two ribs (23,24 respectively) of the original section.

  As can also be seen in Figure 3, the ends of the

  faces 10 and 12 are fixed by welding on the inner faces of the

  both so as to realize, with the ribs (23,24), two other

  vertical tubes (25,26) of closed sections.

  As can be seen in Figures 3 and 4, and according to a

  particularly interesting aspect of the invention, the tube 26 and

  created is on the one hand pierced with lateral openings 27 placing it in

  communication with the inside of the container and, on the other hand, it is placed in communication, at the top and at the bottom, with the outside air by piercing

  of orifices (28,29) in the lower and upper corner pieces 5 and 2.

  The tube 26 then operates, as indicated by the arrows on the drawing,

  a ventilation chimney inside the container, to prevent

  condensation on its internal walls. Note that with

  container described here, the lower orifice 28 is not absolutely indis-

  thinkable since the floor 17 is placed above the upper level of the corner piece 5, which allows communication with the outside

  as indicated by the dashed arrow 30.

  In FIG. 4, the lateral holes 27 have been beaded at the

  high tie of the tube 26 They can be of course also drilled in the lower part of it One can in the same way use

  also the other tube 25 air vent.

  In the foregoing description, and in the figures corresponding to

  only the corner amounts corresponding to the

  this front of the container, closed by the bottom plate 10 The rear face of the container is constructed in the same way-but, due to the presence of the two doors replacing the bottom plate 10, the amounts

  only parts, such as 24, 22 and 19,

  the side faces such as 12, and obviously do not include the parts such as 21 and 25 contiguous to the bottom plate 10 since the face 10 does not exist and is replaced by the doors and their hinges.

REV EMICATIONS

  Container comprising a floor (17), a front face (10), an opening and closing face composed of doors, opposite to said front face (10), and two lateral faces (11, 12), said faces being assembled on four corner posts (6, 7) made using

  of ribbed sections, characterized in that each upright (7) is

  so as to form, at the top of the dihedron created by the two faces (10, 12,) which it assembles, a vertical tube (19) of closed section and, at the same time, on one of the sides (10, 12) of said dihedron, to conmporter a flat portion (21, 22) followed by at least one rib (23, 24) on which is fixed the end of the face corresponding to said c 8 tee (10, 12) so as to form

  at least one other vertical tube (25, 26) has a closed section.
