Abstract

PURPOSE:To load and unload cargo from above and side using crane, forklift, etc., by a method wherein, at the time of loading and unloading a heavy and large cargo, a hood is temporarily drawn together to outside of the one end part of a container to enable both the side parts and roof part of the container to be opened. CONSTITUTION:A corner post 5 is erected at each of the four corners of floor 1 and a container body C is provided which has two side parts, a roof part and one open end part T. The container body also has a hood part 11 which covers an opening part and is capable of freely expanding and contracting in the direction of the open end part T and whose width is made smaller than the distance between the corner posts 5 at the open end part T. The individual rollers 13 separately provided in the lower end parts of inverted U-shaped hood frames, 12 are engaged with a sliding rail 14 slidable a predetermined distance to the outside of the open end part T on the fixed rails 15 provided on both the sides of the floor 1. At the time of loading and unloading cargoes, therefore, both the side parts and the roof part can be opened to enable the loading and unloading operation to be performed by crane, forklift, etc., despite the existence of the hood part and the handling of the hood part is extremely easy.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container with a hood which facilitates loading and unloading of cargo and handling of the hood.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, cranes and forklifts have been used for loading and unloading heavy and large cargo such as steel plate coils, timber, construction machinery and industrial machinery, etc., so that both sides, roofs, and gables are mainly used. Flat rack containers with open parts were used, and after loading, they were covered with waterproof sheets.

That is, if a hood or the like is provided in advance, the hood will be an obstacle during the loading and unloading work of the cargo, and the loading and unloading work will be extremely troublesome.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and when loading and unloading the above weight and large cargo, the hood is placed outside the container body, that is,
It has a structure that can be temporarily stored outside one of the gable parts, and that both side parts and the roof part can be opened, and that the hood can be handled by a single worker, and also can be automatically operated by a robot or the like. The purpose is to provide a container.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a container body in which corner posts are respectively erected at four corners of a floor and both side parts, a roof part and one gable part are opened. And a hood that covers the opening and is expandable and contractible in the direction of the gable. The width of the hood is configured to be narrower than between the corner posts of the one gable that is open, and the hood has an inverted U shape. Each of the rollers provided at the lower end is engaged with a slide rail that slides on a fixed rail provided on both sides of the floor for a predetermined distance to the outside of the one open end portion.

[0006]

According to the present invention, both sides and the roof can be opened at the time of loading and unloading of cargo, and the loading and unloading of cargo by a crane, a forklift or the like can be performed.

That is, in the present invention, a hood 11 having a shape that covers both side portions and the roof portion of the container 1 via a suitable number of inverted U-shaped hood bones 12 is provided, and the width S of the hood 11 is set. It is narrower than between the corner posts 5 of the open wife part T,
In addition, each roller 13 provided at the lower end of the inverted U-shaped hood bone 12 is configured to be expandable and contractable in the direction of the end portion T, and is opened on the fixed rails 15 provided on both sides of the floor 1. It is engaged with a slide rail 14 that slides a predetermined distance outside one of the end portions T.

Therefore, if the slide rail 14 is slid to the outside of the one end portion T of the opening, and at the same time, the hood 11 is folded at the upper part thereof, the hood 11 is moved to the outside of the one end portion T for storage. It is possible to open both sides and the roof.

As described above, according to the present invention, when loading and unloading the weight of steel plate coils, lumber, construction machinery, industrial machinery, etc. and large cargo, as described above, one of the wives with the hood 11 opened. When the slide rail 14 is slid to the outside of the one end T by a predetermined distance while being folded in the direction of the portion T, the hood 11 is moved and stored outside the container body C, that is, outside the one end T. Both sides and the roof are opened, and cargo can be loaded and unloaded from both sides or from above using a crane, forklift, etc., as in the conventional flat rack container.

Furthermore, one operator is sufficient to handle the hood 11, and unlike the conventional case, no manual labor is required, and automatic operation by a robot or the like is possible.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the present invention, the bottom side rails 2 are provided on both side portions of the floor 1, the bottom end rails 3 are provided on both end portions, and the cross members 4 are provided below the floor 1 between the bottom side rails 2 with appropriate intervals. Is provided, the corner posts 5 at the four corners are further erected, both side parts, the roof part and one of the wife parts T are opened, and the wife panel 6 is provided on the other wife part to form the container body C. .

Reference numeral 7 in the drawing denotes a twist lock provided at a lower portion of the corner post 5, which is used at the time of stacking, and a corner metal fitting 8 for receiving the twist lock is provided at an upper end of the corner post 5.

In the figure, reference numeral 9 denotes a top end rail provided between the corner posts 5 of the one open end T.
Reference numeral 0 denotes an upper end of the gable panel 6, which is a top end rail provided between the corner posts 5.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a waterproof hood, and as shown in FIG. 4, the width S is made narrower than the space between the corner posts 5 of the one open end T. It is supported by an appropriate number of inverted U-shaped hood bones 12, and is configured to cover both side portions of the container body C, the roof portion, and one of the open end portions T, and further, expands and contracts in the end portion T direction. It is freely configured.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, rollers 13 are provided at both lower ends of the inverted U-shaped hood bone 12, and the respective rollers 13 are attached to the slide rails 14. Fixed rails 1 engaged with each other and further provided with the slide rails 14 on both sides of the floor 1.
