Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The subject tie device of the present invention is more particularly used for connection to a rod that is used to fasten and support a container to be carried on a cargo ship, and The coupling device is fixed to the end of the rod. [Prior Art] Various solutions for the coupling device (locking head) for fastening and supporting the rod of the container are known in the art. For example, European Patent Publication EP 1 424 277 proposes a solution with associated knotting means which is a locking head which can be fitted into different sized apertures which are placed in the corner pieces of the corners of the container. In the solution according to the publication, a locking head is fitted into a long groove at the end of the rod, and the locking head is movable in the long groove. A notice is known from the German Patent No. DE 525 322, in which two fixed locking heads for holes of different sizes are assembled into the rod. A tie rod is known from the German patent DE 3 5 01 1 09, the ends of which comprise a locking head. There are many weaknesses in conventional technology solutions. One weakness of the prior art solution is that when the bar is placed in a cross to secure the container, the longitudinal adjustment margin is achieved by the slotted hole of the hinge point in the locking head, so that the second rod is further from the container, and nevertheless, the rod They still collide with each other, and the holes also weaken the locking head and, on the other hand, limit the alignment of the rods. -5-201249726 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A coupling device according to the present invention is characterized by what is described in the characterizing part of the first item of the patent application. The coupling device according to the present invention is also characterized by the items described in the appended claims 2-6. The solution according to the invention currently provided has some meaning over the prior art solutions. The coupling device according to the present invention is currently provided by using the solution, and the distance between the rod and the container can be adjusted to be appropriate at different angles using different locking heads (different containers), and thereby avoiding extremely poor rods colliding with each other. . Compared to the prior art solutions, unlike the prior art mode in which the pivot pin of the support bar is free to move to a random point, in the solution according to the invention, regardless of the user and the loading state The distance between the top of the pole and the corner of the container is optimal, and the support rod is connected to the corner of the container. The solution according to the invention is also extremely durable and structurally robust, yet simple and easy to use. In the following, reference will be made to Figure la-3, which will be explained in more detail by means of some examples of embodiments of the invention. [Embodiment] FIG. 1A is a perspective view showing a conventional technical solution in which a longitudinal adjustment margin is realized by an elongated hole of a hinge point in a locking head, so that the other of the rod is fastened as shown in the drawing. In the state, it is farther from the container. -6 - 201249726 Figure 1 b corresponds to the side view of the solution shown in Figure 1 a, and the hole (long groove) can be seen in this figure, the rod fits into the hole so that it can fit in the hole mobile. Figure lc correspondingly shows a prior art solution in which the locking head is curved and has a slotted hole therein into which the rod is movably fitted. Figure 2a shows a side view of the solution according to the invention. And shown in the coupling device 1 having at least two locking heads A, B, the locking heads comprising ends 4, 5, and the ends further comprising support surfaces 6, 7 for fastening Features and support functions. The ends can be fitted into the holes 10, 12 (see Figure 3) at the corners of the container for fastening and supporting the container, and in this case, the support surfaces 6, 7 and the inner surface of the hole (in the drawing) Not visible) Contact" According to Figure 2a, the two locking heads A, B can be assembled to the rotating rod 2 (or to the end of the rod) by means of a hinge 8, so that the locking head can be as indicated by the arrow The end of the rod is rotated to the desired angular range to select the locking head A or B to be used. Figure 2a shows the locking head A for the tightening function and the supporting function. In the tightening condition in which the locking head A is used, the support surface 6 of the locking head a is separated from the hinge 8 by a horizontal distance A' (or, in other words, the center line of the rod drawn via the hinge, the line is indicated by a broken line) In this case, the support surface 7 of the second locking head B is separated from the same hinge 8 by a horizontal distance B', which is shown in Figure 2b. Correspondingly, as shown in Figure 2c (2b), the locking head B is used for the fastening work and the supporting function. In this case, the support surface 7 is separated from the same strand 201249726 chain 8 (or, in other words, The horizontal distance from the center line in the direction of the rod drawn through the hinge 8 is B '. The support surface identified by the symbol 18 can be seen in Figure 2a. According to Figure 3, the support surface is placed on the corner surface of the container, and correspondingly, when the locking head B is used for the system When supported and supported, the corresponding support surface placed on the corner surface of the container is identified by the symbol 17 of the container. The end pieces 4, 5 may comprise curved end faces 14, 15, but such end faces may also be flat. There may be rounded corners 20 between the ends A, B. In Figure 2a, the surfaces at an angle to the support surfaces 18 and 17 are identified by reference numerals 16 and 19. In the condition shown in Fig. 3, a tightening condition is shown in which the lower containers 21, 22 (including the corner pieces 21', 22', on the top of which the container 丨 and 13 are placed) are fastened/supported by the rod 2, in which The end is a coupling device 3 according to the solution of the invention. According to the illustration, the coupling device 3 rests on the corner 9' of the container 9 by the surface 18, and the locking head 5 of the coupling device is inside the hole 10, In this case, the support surface 6 shown in Fig. 2a is in contact with the inner surface of the hole (not visible in Fig. 3). Correspondingly, the locking head 4 is fitted into the hole 12 of the container 13. In this case, the support surface 17 (not visible in Fig. 3) shown in Fig. 2a is in contact with the corner 13 of the container 13. According to the illustration, the pole position is at a different distance from the corner of the cargo (between the vertical angle and the surface of the container), because the locking head A (see Figure 2a) is used in the container 1 and Correspondingly, the 'locking head B (see Fig. 2c) is used in the container 13 'and therefore the rods do not collide with each other, because, according to the drawing, the tie rod 2 of the container 13 is closer to the corner of the container. The surface/container corner 隅-8- 201249726 It is known to those skilled in the art that the different embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the above examples, and therefore, they may vary within the scope of the following appended claims. In the coupling device according to the invention, the locking heads (A, B) can be identical pieces, but it is also conceivable to find a solution in which the locking heads (A, B) are of different pieces 'that is' In the case of 'they can rotate independently of each other in an articulated manner. There may also be three or more locking heads in each of the coupling devices. If necessary, features that may be present in the specification in combination with other features may also be used individually. [Simple diagram of the diagram] The first la-lc diagram provides many conventional technical solutions for correlating devices. Figures 2a-2c provide the coupling device according to the invention at different locations. Figure 3 shows the use of the solution according to the invention for fastening and supporting the container.
