Definitions

  • cargo containers has rapidly assumed the type which is of rectangular configuration in three perpendicular planes and comprises four top corner receptacles or fixtures at the corners of its upper surface capable of receiving hooks, latches or such connecting means as is adapted to project downwardly from four corners of a frame-like lifting implement now known in the industry as a spreader.
  • essential objects of this invention are to provide a spreader arrangement capable of handling cargo containers of different lengths; to provide a spreader arrangement that will substantially minimize the cost of equipmentnecessary for handling containers of different lengths; to provide equipment that is easily, securely, and conveniently stored, e.g., in the hold of a ship, on the top of containers or hatch covers having a pattern of receptacles corresponding to its pattern of latches, with the latches interlocked with the receptacles.
  • a spreader combination based upon the general concept that the basic component of the combination is a complete independent spreader called a master spreader, constructed to interlock with cargo containers of substantially shortest length to be handled in practical quantities.
  • Another essential component is one or more auxiliary spreaders, generally of greater length.
  • Such a spreader is termed herein as a slave spreader and has receptacles in its principal upper plane corresponding in "ice pattern with the latches of the master spreader.
  • Much structure and some of the actuating facilities carried on the master spreader are not duplicated on the slave spreader as both spreaders are normally equipped with power-retractable guides and power-operated latches.
  • a control system may be provided in a preferred embodiment for bypassing the latches and guides, most importantly the latches, of the master spreader so that an operator cannot inadvertently detach the slave from the master.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cargo container, an auxiliary or slave spreader in position on the top surface of a container, and a master spreader with some minor parts not shown as supported by a crane in separated but vertically aligned position above the slave spreader;
  • FIG. 2 is a fragmentary perspective view of a corner portion, essentially of a top corner fixture, of the container of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a fragmentary perspective view of a corner unit of either spreader and part of the mechanism for activating the latch housed by the unit;
  • FIG. 4 is a longitudinal side elevation of the upper or master spreader of FIG. 1;
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 are longitudinal side elevation and plan views, respectively, of the slave spreader of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 7 is a diagram of the hydraulic system which extends through and is carried cooperatively by both spreaders of the foregoing figures.
  • FIG. 8 is an electrical diagram for controlling elements of the hydraulic system illustrated in FIG. 6 as carried on a crane, the master spreader, and the slave spreader.
  • a master spreader 5 of the single point suspension type is suspended from a crane 6 shown with a single cable lift 7 but typifying any type of crane capable of providing single point suspension for a sling-type rigged spreader 5.
  • the master spreader 5 is of a self-leveling type, and by Way of example as illustrated and described herein, utilizes selfleveling mechanism such as disclosed in US. Patent No. 3,191,983.
  • the spreader 5 is basically a rectangular frame of generally planate configuration in the horizontal plane as operatively positioned. Its structure is reinforced by diagonal members arranged in X pattern from corner to corner of its periphery. Corner units 8, 9, 10, and 11 constructed as shown in detail in FIG. 3 form the structure of all four corners of the master spreader 5 as well as the corners of the slave spreader 15. Each spreader is equipped with six retractable guides 16 which may be of the pantograph type shown in the drawing and disclosed in US. Patent No. 3,101,967.
  • These guides are provided for the purpose of bringing a latch 17 of each corner unit (see units 8 to 11 of the master spreader and units 18 to 21 of the slave spreader) into vertical registry with a corresponding receptacle (see receptacle 23 of FIG. 2) forming each of the top corner portions of the container 24.
  • the slave spreader 15 has latch receptacles, i.e., receptacles 26, 27, 28, 29, which correspond in horizontal pattern to the latches of corner units 8 to 11 of the spreader 5.
  • the receptacles 26 to 29 have apertures 26a to 290, respectively, similar to aperture 23a in FIG. 2.
  • the spreader 15 is necessarily designed with all structure within this pattern of receptacles disposed below the upper surfaces thereof so there is no vertical interference of one spreader with the other when coupling the two Spreaders. For example, since actuating mechanism for retracting the guides 16 is conveniently located above the frame portion of the slave spreader, the guides are attached to the spreader frame longitudinally exteriorly of the region in which the master spreader engages the slave spreader.
  • the axes of the latches 17 of either spreader may be regarded as disposed within two longitudinal vertical planes and the spacing of such planes of the master spreader is equal to the spacing between corresponding planes of the slave spreader.
  • apertures 26a to 29a of receptacles 26 to 29 are disposed within the longitudinal vertical planes which contain the latch axis of corner units 18 to 21 and also within corresponding planes of the master spreader in order to enable coupling of the two spreaders.
  • corner units 8 to 11 master spreader
  • 18 to 21 slave spreader
  • the corner units 18 to 21 are structurally similar taking into consideration the Slight differences which differentiate them into right and left.
  • the corner units 18 to 21 are higher in the vertical direction to dispose rollers 31, 32 at a greater height with respect to latches of respective corner units. In this manner, more positive guiding action is provided than needed for the master spreader in order to compensate for the greater length and greater loads handled by the slave s reader.
  • the corner units are rigidly attached to the basic rectangular frame portion of the spreader by means such as welding. As shown, the webs of the beam members of the frame are cut out to permit partial insertion of the units Within the outer periphery of the rectangular frame portion. However, each corner unit is substantially outwadly disposed with respect to the outer periphery of the rectangular frame to dispose the axis of rotation of the shafts of latches 17 outwardly with respect to the frame members of the rectangular frame. For example, shaft axes 35 to 37 are located outwardly of the outer periphery defined by the frame members 38, 39, 40, and 41. As suggested before, receptacle openings 26a to 29a are disposed also outside of this periphery. Corner units utilizing other types of latches may advantageously follow this general arrangement of the corner units in respect to the rectangular frame.
  • corner unit 10 shown in detail in FIG. 3, is exemplary except for difference of height in both spreaders.
  • the unit comprises a housing 44, the latch 17, rollers 31 and 45 rotatably supported by the housing with portions of their peripheries protruding from one of the two outward facing vertical surfaces, i.e., surface 46, of the housing, a roller 32 and another lower roller not visible in FIG. 2 also rotatably supported by the housing and protruding from the other outward surface 47 of the housing.
  • the purpose of these rollers is to engage the vertical guide ways of ships or other container-receiving structure.
  • the unit also includes a vertically-aligned rod-like switch actuator 48 supported by the housing in journal-bearing relation therewith but with freedom to move in its vertical or longitudinal direction to actuate a switch 49 of the unit.
  • Switch 49 is disposed within an electrical circuit, as indicated in FIG. 8, to function as a safety device and prevent operation of the spreader in the event the spreader is not squarely engaged with a container or another auxiliary spreader with which interlocking is intended.
  • the latch 17 and the receptacle 23 are recognizable as standard container couplings structure now adopted as standard by the United States of America Standards Institute, formerly the American Standards Association.
  • the latch 17 comprises a shaft 51 supported by the housing in both journal and end-bearing relationship whereby the latch is rotatable but has a fixed axial relation With the housing.
  • the latch also has a downwardly tapered head 52 elongated in a horizontal direction and attached symmetrically with respect to a shaft axis, and another crank lever 53.
  • the housing provides an upper chamber within which the lever 53 is rotatable through at least 90 degrees, and an opening 55 in a longi' tudinally-facing surface of the housing.
  • Mechanism for actuating the latch includes a push rod 57 of the turn buckle-type connecting with the lever 53 extending through the opening 55 into connection with the crank arm 58 fixed on a shaft 59 journaled in the frame of the spreader with its axis extending transversely thereof.
  • Latch-actuating mechanism further includes another crank arm 61 attached to the shaft 59 and connected at a desired lever arm with the piston rod of a double-acting cylinder 62. As shown, the housing of the cylinder is pivotally connected to an element 64 of the spreader frame.
  • the shaft of axle 59 is rotatably supported within the spreader frame adjacent an end thereof and extends substantially through the frame in a transverse direction in order to be connected in operating relation with the latches of both corner units at that end of the spreader. Rotation of the shaft 59 is stopped in one direction at a desired point by a stop 65 fixed to the spreader frame. The stop is engaged by a pad extension 66 of the lever 61 as the actuating cylinder 62 undergoes a contracting stroke.
  • the master spreader 5 herein described comprises self-leveling mechanism actuated primarily by a double-acting cylinder 70 having one end anchored to the spreader frame and the other end anchored to a block longitudinally shiftable within the frame of the spreader to which ends of cables 73, 74, 75, and 76 are secured. Portions of the cables extend from a shackle 77 around respective corner pulleys 81 to 84.
  • the portions of cables between the shackle and the pulleys may be lengthened at one end of the spreader while shortened at the other end to obtain leveling of the spreader while supporting an unbalanced load.
  • the self-leveling function of the master spreader is required regardless of whether it is used independently as a container lifter or has attached to it the slave spreader and a container connected therewith.
  • the cylinder 70 of the self-leveling mechanism is retained operatively within the hydraulic system regardless of the type of service and is not bypassed although that portion of the hydraulic system of the master spreader for operating the latches and the guides may be completely bypassed during operation of the slave spreader and the master spreader in intercoupled relationship.
  • leveling of the spreader is not a problem when the crane and master spreader are of the types providing a plurality of points of suspension of the master spreader and the self-leveling mechanism may be dispensed in this instance.
  • FIG. 7 indicates that the master spreader carries a motor 85, an oil pump 86 driven by the motor, and a reservoir system including a tank 87.
  • the pump is the source of hydraulic power for operation of any hydraulic equipment on the master spreader such as the cylinder 70, and latch and guide cylinders similar to those carried on the slave spreader.
  • the diagram indicates that the hydraulic system comprises quick-disconnect couplings 88 and 89 in the pressure and return lines 88a and 89a, respectively, extending between the master and slave spreader.
  • Cylinders 16a actuate the guides 16 and are divided into groups of three to which the flow of oil is cycled in one direction or the other by four-connection two-position reverse-flow solonoid valves 91 and 92.
  • Another similar solonoid operated valve 93 controls the flow in either direction to latch cylinders 62.
  • Flow regulating valves 94 may be used in association with the valves 81, 82, 83, as shown, to regulate the passage of oil to each cylinder in either stroke of each cylinder.
  • the coupling halves of couplings 88 and 89 are preferably of the commercial type which comprise a valve element which closes the adjacent line upon separation of the halves to prevent escape of liquid from the hydraulic system.
  • FIG. 8 is intended to be schematic without presenting the wiring system in the full detail possible. For example, many lines are gathered into a cable and lead out of the cable to a desired electrical device in the diagram of FIG. 8. With certain principals recited hereinbelow, the diagram should be understandable to the skilled without full showing of all circuit portions.
  • FIG. 8 pertains merely to an electrical control system for operating (1) the cylinder 70 of the tilting or selfleveling mechanism of the master spreader 5, (2) the cylinders 16a of the slave and master spreaders depending on Whether the two spreaders are connected, and (3) the cylinders 57 for shifting the latches 17 to latching or unlatching positions. Since a crane ordinarily performs many tasks and thus has an independent control system, the diagram does not include electrical controls for raising and lowering the crane 6; the diagram thus has reference only to spreaders 5 and 15.
  • the electrical system is arranged so that all lines between the operators station in the crane and the master spreader may be grouped into a single cable suspended from the crane to extend into and out a collector 100 on the master spreader. Except for an unbroken connection 106 to the motor 85 on the master spreader, all pass through quick-disconnect couplings 101 and 102 if the slave spreader is attached to the master spreader. However, if the master spreader is operated independently of the slave spreader, then coupling half 101a is coupled with coupling half 102a and all lines lead into a main junction box 104 of the master spreader from which circuits are completed to the various solenoids, lights, switches, etc., of the master spreader. The coupling of coupling halves 101a and 10111 is indicated in dotted line.
  • the coupling half 101b has terminals mating with proper terminals within the coupling half 101a to place circuits to the solenoid valves controlling the guides and latches of the slave spreader into such completion as to be operable by a button or switch in the operators station.
  • a corner unit at each end of both spreaders include a duplex switch (see switch 49 of FIG. 3) which registers the up or down relationship of the latch with its corresponding receptacle.
  • switches 110 register rotation of the latches to latched condition, a green lamp 107 is illuminated.
  • the switches 49 and 110 of all corner units must close in series.
  • the opening of switches 110, and the operation of switches 49 to indicate the up condition will energize an amber lamp 108 to indicate a condition of the spreader free of the container wherein it is safe to lift the spreader clear of the container.
  • Lamps 107 and 108 are on the master spreader.
  • the hydraulic pumping system which operates regardless of the spreader used, is placed in operation by depressing a start button which energizes the motor 85, the operation of which is indicated by a lamp 113.
  • the solenoid valve 93 is spring-loaded to normally force the latches into locked or latching position.
  • a button type switch 122 operates the solenoid valve 93 to rotate the latches to unlatched position which will be maintained as long as the button is depresed. Lamps 107, 108, 115, and 116 are affected by this maneuver as indicated above.
  • Spreader leveling by operation of solenoid valve 124 is effected through operation of a three-position switch 125.
  • Switches in the control assembly 126 enable separate raising and lowering of the retractable guides 16 of either spreader in two groups. With the slave spreader attached as shown, only the guides of the slave spreader are operated. The circuits for operating the master spreader are temporarily deactivated by construction of the quick-disconnect couplings 101 and 102 with respect to guides.
  • Equipment for handling cargo containers of different lengths which have latch-receiving receptacles in the top surfaces thereof comprising a master spreader, at least one slave spreader, latch-and-receptacle means for connecting the master and slave spreaders together as a single container-lifting unit, and latch means on the slave spreader for connecting with containers, said master spreader associated with vertically adjustable means which supports the master spreader and connects it to a support therefor;
  • said switch and said electrical-conducting means being arranged in circuits of which conductors therefor terminate in a first coupling half at the end of a portion of one of said cables carried by the master spreader;
  • said cable means of the slave spreader comprising conductors mating with a second group of selected conductors terminating in said first coupling half when said spreaders are joined and the first and second coupling halves are joined to the third and fourth halves, respectively, said conductors of the slave spreader then completing circuits to electrically responsive devices of the slave spreader and selected electrically responsive devices of the master spreader.
  • each cable includes a quick-disconnect means comprising two coupling halves;
  • said switch and said second electrical-conducting means are arranged in circuits of which conductors therefor terminate in a first coupling half at the end of a portion of one of said cables carried by the master spreader;
  • portion of the other cable carried by the master spreader terminates in a second coupling half mating with said first coupling half with conductors extending from the second coupling half to various electrically responsive devices of the master spreader, said conductors of the second half being mated with a first group of selected conductors from the first half when the said two halves are joined; said slave spreader having cable means comprising a third coupling half and a fourth coupling half, said third half being turnable with the first half, and the fourth half being joinable with the second half; said cable means of the slave spreader comprising conductors mating with a second group of selected conductors terminating in said first coupling half when said spreaders are joined and the first and second coupling halves are joined to the third and fourth halves, respectively, said conductors of the slave spreader when completing circuits to electrically responsive devices of the slave spreader and selected electrically responsive devices of the master spreader.
