Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a freight container storing apparatus for container ship.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a container storing apparatus into which containers and such freights as cannot be contained in the container can be loaded together in the same hold.
  • the container storing apparatus is characterized by that supporting pillars of suitable height are mounted on the inner bottom of the container hold along container guides which are provided vertically in the container hold near at four corners of the each container, the containers are supported on the tops of the supporting pillars.
  • container guides which are provided vertically in the container hold near at four corners of the each container, the containers are supported on the tops of the supporting pillars.
  • FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a part of a container ship providing a container storing apparatus in accordance with the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2-2 in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged elevational view of supporting pillars illustrated in FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view-of the pillars taken on line 44 in FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken on line 5-5 in FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a top part of container guides.
  • These container guides 18 are formed of angle-iron and extend vertically the height of the container hold, and welded to brackets 19 which are welded to the longitudinal bulkhead 12, deck 14 and beams 15 and 16.
  • the lower ends-of the container guides 18 are secured on doubling plates 22 fixed to an inner bottom plate 20.
  • the container guides 18 are spaced to provide relatively small clearance between the container guide and the container 17 and to guide the corners of the containers 17 when the containers are loaded.
  • container supporting pillars 23 are stood on the doubling plates 22 along the inner sides of the container guides 18. Height of the container supporting pillar 23 is determined according to height of the freight hold to be formed.
  • the container supporting pillars 23 have supporting plates 24 at the tops of them to receive corner posts 21 of the containers 17. From the one side plate of the container supporting pillar 23 are projected two L-shaped hooks 25. The bended portion 27 of the each hook 25 projects outwardly from the container guide 18 through hole 26 and the inner side of the bended portion 27 engages with the outside of the container guide 18 to hold the supporting pillar 23 in vertical state. Thus, if the supporting pillar is lifted a height nearly equal to the length of the bended portion 27, the supporting pillar may be removed from the container guide 18.
  • the supporting pillars 23 are provided along the each container guide 18 as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the freight 28 is then loaded on inner bottom 20, and may be stacked the height of the supporting pillars.
  • the containers 17 are then lowered into the container hold along the container guides 18 and rested on the supporting plates 24 of the tops of the supporting pillars 23 by the corner posts 21 of them, and more containers are stacked on the loaded container.
  • the supporting pillars are removed. As a result the all space in the container hold may be used for storing the containers.
  • each set comprising four upright angle members defining a container cell adapted to slidably receive a container to guide the same, a set of four pillars for each container cell, each pillar mounted in the angle of one of the container guides adjacent the bottom thereof, said pillars having bases engaged on the bottom of said hold and tops cooperable to support the corners of a container received in said guides at a predetermined elevation above the bottom of said guides.
  • Apparatus according to claim 1 including releasable fastening means securing each of said pillars to its associated container guide.
  • Apparatus according to claim 2 wherein said releasable fastening means comprise hooks on said pillars and openings in said container guides in registry with said hooks so as to eifect releasable engagement of said pillars with said guides by engagement of said books through said openings.
