States Patent Ofitice 3,1 l 1,1 M Patented Nov. 19, 1963 3,111,104 HINGED CONTAINER GUIDES FUR CONTAINER SHIPS David J. Seymour, Timonium, and George T- Welshlro,
Baltimore, Md assignors to Bethlehem Steel Company, a corporation of Pennsylvania Filed Aug. 10, 1961, Ser. No. 130,681 11 Claims. (Cl. 114-72) This invention relates generally to vessels adapted to carry cargo in containers and, specifically, to hinged guide means associated with the container cells of the vessel to guide the containers into the proper position over the container cells for entry therein.
'Brieily, this invention comprises ramp elements pivotally mounted to the hatch coarning for rotation in a vertical plane, with spring elements rnounted to the ramp elements to resiliently counterbalance the same when the latter are in non-operative position. When in operative guiding relation with the containers, the ramp elements are rotated above the level of the hatch coaming and are supported in such position by the coam-ing shelf or similar member.
One of the objects of this invention is to provide hinged guide means cooperating with a container cell to facilitate the entry of containers into said cell.
Another object of this invention is to provide hinged guide means adapted to be rotated in a vertical plane above the level of the hatch coaming to operative guiding relation with the containers or selectively to be rotated below the level of the hatch coaming into the container cell out of operative guiding relation with the containers.
A further object of this invention is to provide a springbalanced hinged container guide in which the weight of the container guide when in non-operative position is supported substantially by said spring.
Still other and further obiects of this invention will become apparent during the counse of the following description.
Referring now to the drawings in which like numerals represent like parts in the several views:
FIG. 1 represents a view in plan of one hold of a vessel, with portions of adjacent holds, showing diagrammatically the location of the hinged container guides about the holds and showing in phantom the containers in the several container cells in the holds.
FIG. 2 represents an enlarged section in elevation taken along the line 22 of FIG. 1, showing hinged container guides in operative guiding position between cells of adjacent holds, and showing in phantom the containers and two positions of the left-hand hinged container guide when rotated out of operative guiding position.
FIG. 3 represents an enlarged section in elevation taken along the line 33 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 represents an enlarged section taken along the line 44 of FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 represents an enlarged section in elevation taken along the line 5-5 of FIG. 1.
The container ship is seen to comprise hatch openings 1 defined by hatch ccamings 2 and coa-rning members 3. Guide angles 4 in hatch openings 1 define container cells 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 1%, 11, 12 and 13 into which containers 14 may be loaded and stacked. Guide angles 4 may be flared at their upper ends, as between cells a and 7, 9 and 1d, and 12 and 13. Hinged container guides 15 are spaced around the hatch openings 1 as shown in FIG. 1.
Each hinged container guide 15 comprises ramp element 16 pivotally mounted, by means of bolt 17, to pads 18 secured to the perimeter of batch opening 1, for rotation in a vertical plane. Spring 19, loosely mounted about bolt 17, is provided with one end 21} extending into a perforation in ramp element 16 so as to be fixed thereto,
and with another end 21 adapted to bear against hatch coaming 2. Spring 19 is interposed between ramp element 16 and hatch coaming 2 so as to resiliently resist rotation of the ramp element 16 into the container cell, the modulus of spring 19 preferably being chosen so as to just counterbalance and support the ramp element 16 in the substantially horizontal position 15 shown in FIG. 2. Spring 19 is also anranged so as to offer no resistance to the rotation of ramp element 16 to operative guiding position above coaming member 3, but rather to partially elevate ramp element 16 from position 16 (the position occupied by ram element 15 when the hatch cover is closed) to position 16, thereby facilitating the rotation of ramp element 16 to operative guiding position.
Each ramp element 16 comprises sloping guide face 22, side brackets 23 with rear support legs 24, and brace 25 secured between side brackets 23. Side brackets 23 may be recessed as at 26 to penmit ramp element is to be installed and operated over gasket seal bar 27, which latter is a conventional element of hatch construction serving to engage the gasket on the hatch cover (not shown).
In operation, when the hatch cover is removed, spring 19 raises ramp elements 16 of hinged container guides 15 from position 16 to position 16'. Ramp elements 16 are then lifted and rotated, by any convenient means such as a grappling hook or the like, to operative guiding position above the level of hatch coarnin-gs 2 and coaming members 3. It will be noted that, in the disclosed embodiment, of the two longer sides of each container cell, only one side is provided with hinged container guide means 15, viz., that side adjacent the edge of the batch opening 1, the other side adjacent the center of the hatch opening 1 not being provided with such hinged container guides 15. Containers 14 are swung over the cells to be loaded, being urged slightly towards those longer sides of the cells adjacent the edges of the hatch opening 1 and provided with said hinged container guides 15, and are lowered into the cells, sloping guide faces 22 facilitating the entry of the containers 14 into the cells and cooperating in this operation with the flared upper ends of the opposite guide angles (FIG. 5).
After the container cells have been loaded, ramp elements 16 are rotated into the cells below the level of hatch coamings 2 and coarning members 3, springs 19 preferably resiliently counterbalancing ramp elements 16 in the substantially horizontal position it? of FIG. 2. Thereafter, the hatch covers are placed over the hatch openings 1 and, where part of the lower hatch cover structure contacts the said ramp ele rent 16, the latter may he depressed out of the way against the force of spring 1& to the position shown in phantom in PEG. 2 as 16". It will be noted from an examination of FIG. 2 that sufiicient clearance is provided in the container cell above the topmost container 14 to permit rotation of ramp element 16 to the position 16".
