Definitions

  • the lower cone 104 is shaped such that, under the situation where the shaft 102 is at a first rotational position A described later with the lower cone 104 being in engagement with the engaging aperture Fa of the corner fitting F, when the lower cone 104 is brought into contact with and pressed against the edge of the engaging aperture Fa of the corner fitting F, the pressing force is applied to the corner fitting F through the lower cone 104 whilst the lower cone 104 receives a reaction force thereof, with the result that the lower cone 104 is rotated around the rotation axis of the shaft 102 by the reaction force acting on the lower cone 104 .
  • FIG. 25 is a bottom plan view of the container coupling metal joint shown in FIG. 23 ;
  • one end of a connecting tool for example, a control cable 72 such as of Kevlar, of operation member 7 is anchored at the flange portion 32 of the shaft 3 and the other end of it is anchored at the operation lever 71 through the safety mechanism 8 .
  • the tip of the pressing piece 61 is set such that it abuts against each arm 33 in the second cavity 2 b and, for example, when the upper metal fitting 4 is caused to abut the stopper 24 by the biasing force of the torsion spring 34 , the pressing piece 61 is struck against by the arm 33 of the shaft 3 and thrust out by it along the guide aperture 61 a and the guide groove 61 b as shown in FIG. 6 .
  • the stopper 24 is caused to retreat inside the joint main body 2 from the position at which the stopper 24 is protruded from the upper face of the upper fitting portion 22 by pressing down the operation rod 241 against the biasing force of the spring.
  • the shaft 3 is rotated to the position at which the upper metal fitting 4 overlaps the upper fitting portion 22 by the biasing force of the torsion spring 34 .
  • FIGS. 17 to 19 A third embodiment of the container coupling metal joint 1 is shown in FIGS. 17 to 19 .
  • the container coupling metal joint of the invention though it has a simple structure, when it is used, by only stacking the container to be loaded, on the lower container, the container coupling metal joint can couple the both containers automatically and securely. Furthermore, the container coupling metal joint can release the lower container automatically and securely by only lifting up the upper container coupled to the lower container. Therefore, the operation of operation tools and work at high places are unnecessary and it is beneficial in terms of operation and safety.
