Definitions

  • the invention has for its object to provide a container of said type, whereby lifting thereof is made possible by means of a lifting gear provided with gripper elements, the distance between the engaging members of the container being standardized, i.e. the engaging members have a certain spacing corresponding to the gripper elements of the lifting gear
  • the engaging members of the container thus are independent of the size of the container.
  • FIG. 1 shows in perspective view a container according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows the same container suspended from a lifting gear or framework.
  • the container according to the example shown consists of a parallelepipedic box body for transport goods. It will immediately be understood that Whichever form or structure of the container can come into question for the use in connection with the invention, the container itself forming no part of the present invention.
  • the container 1 is provided with two pairs of brackets 2, 2' and 3, 3' arranged as shown in FIG. 1, i.e. as inwardly directed angular members rigidly connected to the container and having the Patented Dec. 16, 1969 top surface located in the same plane as the top surface of the container.
  • brackets 2, 2' and 3, 3' arranged as shown in FIG. 1, i.e. as inwardly directed angular members rigidly connected to the container and having the Patented Dec. 16, 1969 top surface located in the same plane as the top surface of the container.
  • the engagement members 2, 3 of the container 1 are designed to cooperate with gripper elements of a lifting frame suspended from under a crane or ships boom.
  • said gripper elements are constituted by hooks 4 which can be swung in under the brackets 2.
  • the hooks 4 are arranged at lifting heads 5 from under the lifting frame 8, which is suspended by wires 6 passing the pulleys 9.
  • the hooks 4 can be movable in relation to the lifting heads 5 in different ways to obtain engagement with the brackets 2 of the container 1.
  • the hooks 4 thus can be movable in pairs against and away from each other in crosswise direction of the container as suggested by the double arrow v. If the hooks 4 are moved against each other they will go out of engagement with the brackets 2. If they are moved in outward direction away from each other, they go to engagement under the brackets 2 and are ready for lifting the container.
  • the hooks 4 can in case be arranged separately rotatable about their axes a. If they are turned so that the horizontal engagement parts protrude inwardly in direction of the middle of the container, the latter is released. If they, however, are swung in direction outwardly to the position shown in FIG, 2 parallel with the container the hooks will engage at the lower surface of the brackets 2, 3.
  • the brackets 2 may also cooperate with gripping hook pairs. This means that the elements 4 are formed by cooperating pairs which can be swung up or down around the point of rotation c. The hooks can thereby be swung out of engagement or into engagement in a plan parallel with the side plane of the container.
  • the last-mentioned expression should cover all kinds of mechanical devices which can be brought to engagement with or be released from brackets arranged in two pairs symmetrically arranged at a certain spacing from the ends of the container and with their top sides located substantially in the same plane as the top side of the container.
  • An arrangement relating to containers of various sizes of the type used for loading, unloading, transporting and storage of goods all of said containers being of parallelepipedic shape and having side walls and a generally planar top surface extending across the top of the container between the side walls, and including at least two recesses formed in and extending transversely across the top of the container, each of said containers comprising at the top thereof pairs of symmetrically positioned engagement members arranged to cooperate with lifting gear of a lifting head suspended from a frame; the engagement members being rigidly secured to the container, each engagement member being in the form of a pair of brackets located in one of the recesses and extending horizontally and inwardly from the container side wall transversely across the container toward the other bracket of its pair, and said pairs being spaced along the length of the container from each other pair, the upper surface of each bracket being in substantially the same plane as the top surface of the container, the said brackets being secured to reinforcements of the walls of the container, whereby when the containers are stacked, part of the weight is absorbed by
