Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a locking arrangement for a door, such as the door (or doors) of a vehicle, trailer or freight container which is used for the transportation of goods by road, rail or sea.
  • Embodiments of the present invention find particular, but not exclusive, use with freight containers of the type that have a pair of hinged doors provided for allowing access to the interior of the container.
  • Each door is hinged at an outer edge, with the two doors meeting at the centre of the container.
  • Each door is locked individually by an upright operating bar which is arranged to engage with at least one keeper provided on the door frame.
  • the operating bar is provided with a handle which is connected to the operating bar such that rotation of the handle causes the operating bar to rotate and for a cam member provided on the bar to engage with the keeper.
  • One door is typically arranged to close first so that an edge of the other door overlays it when both are closed.
  • Figure 1 shows a typical freight container, having a pair of doors
  • Figure 2 shows an embodiment of the present invention fitted to a typical freight container
  • Figure 3 shows a front view of an embodiment of the present invention
  • Figures 4a and 4b show a rear view of an embodiment of the present invention in two different configurations
  • Figure 5 shows a top view of an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Figure 6 shows a close-up detailed view of the interconnector.
  • Figure 1 shows a prior art, typical, freight container, which is used to transport goods by sea, rail or road.
  • the container 10 comprises a pair of doors 1 1 , 12 which close off one end of the container 10. Each door is hinged on an outer edge and the doors meet at respective inner edges.
  • the left-hand door typically overlays the right-hand door to provide a weatherproof seal. Additional weather seals may also be provided as necessary.
  • Each door has a pair of locking devices, but only the inner ones will be considered here.
  • the locking arrangement on each door comprises a vertical operating bar 15, 16 which causes a cam member at each end to engage with respective keepers on the door frame.
  • the operating bar is provided with a handle 13, 14 which is coupled to the operating bar and arranged to pivot such that the operating bar rotates in its mount.
  • Figure 2 shows a locking device according to an embodiment of the present invention fitted to a container of the type shown in Figure 1.
  • Figures 3-6 show different views of the same locking device.
  • Figure 2 shows how the locking device 100 is fitted to cover the region where the handles 13, 14 couple to the respective operating bars 15, 16.
  • the locking device 100 comprises a first portion 1 10, arranged to couple and cover the first operating bar and handle, and a second portion 120, arranged to cover the second operating bar and handle.
  • the first and second portions are coupled together by means of an interconnector 130, integrally formed with the second portion 120.
  • the interconnector 130 is in the form of an elongate element which, in use, sits in a complementary elongate slot 132 provided in the first element 1 10. Entry of the interconnector 130 into the slot 132 is provided in an end face of the first elemenl 10.
  • the interconnector 130 is provided with a plurality of apertures along its length. These apertures are provided to allow a distance between the first and second elements to be set as required and as will be described shortly.
  • the engagement portion is arranged to securely cover and protect the coupling between the operating bar and the respective handle.
  • the engagement portion comprises an essentially U-shaped member, arranged such that, in use, the operating bar sits within the U-shape.
  • Extending from the outward-facing arm of the U-shape is a shield element, arranged to extend beyond the operating bar and to cover the point where it couples to the handle, as well as a portion of the handle.
  • the shield element also comprises a pair of projections which, in use assist in maintaining the locking device 100 in position over the handles of the container.
  • the first element 1 10 further comprises a closure device, comprising an L-shaped plate 133, positioned externally to a bottom surface of the first element 1 10, with a leg of the L- shaped plate extending to be adjacent to a complementary plate 134 extending from a lower surface of the first element 1 10.
  • a closure device comprising an L-shaped plate 133, positioned externally to a bottom surface of the first element 1 10, with a leg of the L- shaped plate extending to be adjacent to a complementary plate 134 extending from a lower surface of the first element 1 10.
  • Both the L-shaped plate 133 and the complementary plate 134 are provided with a corresponding apertures to receive, e.g., the hasp of a padlock or a TIR, C-TPAT or other seal.
  • the closure device is movable towards and away from the lower face of the first element 1 10 by means of a pin 135 which extends through an aperture provided in the lower wall and then through an aperture in internal wall 136 and one of a plurality of apertures provided in interconnector 130.
  • the pin 135 may then also protrude through an aperture provided in the exposed upper wall of the first housing.
  • the locking device 100 is positioned near the handles and operating bars.
  • the first and second elements 1 10, 120 are moved apart such that their respective engagement portions are positioned over the points where the handles couple to the respective operating bar. In this configuration, each operating bar is securely located within the U-shaped section of the engagement portion and the handles protrude from the respective end of the first or second section, from under the shield element. This is clearly shown in Figure 2.
  • the L-shaped plate 133 of the closure device is moved so that it lies adjacent to the lower surface of the first element, and the corresponding holes in the leg of the L-shaped portion and the complementary plate 134 align.
  • the pin 135 locks the interconnector such that the distances between the first and second elements is fixed and the device is secured in position.
  • the shield elements ensure that it is not possible to mechanically interfere with the couplings of the handles and operating bars.
  • the design is intended to be foolproof in that it is not possible to lock the device with a padlock, C-TPAT, TIR or other seal unless the L-shaped plate is fully adjacent the first element, which ensures that the interconnector 130 is locked at a particular position.
  • the security device may take the form of a tracker device, operable to transmit location or other information. This information may be transmitted continually, or in response to an alarm condition, indicative of an attempt to interfere with the locking device and so gain access to the container.
  • the information may be transmitted by a mobile telephone signal, a satellite telephone signal or other radio technology.
  • the electronic security device is arranged to fit within the body of the first element 1 10, and to protrude partly through aperture 137. By protruding through the aperture, an antenna of the security device is better able to transmit a signal.
  • a second pin 138 is provided from the L-shaped plate 133. This, like the first pin 135, also passes through the housing of the first element, but only through the lower wall. It is arranged so that once the L-shaped plate is moved into a locked configuration, as shown in Figure 4a, the second pin engages with a switch provided in the electronic security device to arm it, so that any future attempts to interfere with it will trigger an alarm condition.
  • the locking device 100 can be used with or without the optional electronic security device. If used without, then it provides a mechanical lock which prohibits or at least seriously hinders access to the container via the doors. If used with the optional electronic security device, then the status of the locked container can be monitored and tracked remotely, giving an early indication of a problem and a chance to apprehend any thieves.
  • the locking device 100 In order to remove the locking device 100, it is first necessary to remove the padlock, C- TPAT, TIR or other seal fitted through the L-shaped plate 133 and complementary plate 134. Then, the L-shaped plate 133 is moved away from the body of the first element 1 10, causing pin 135 to be moved out of the hole in interconnector 130. This allows the first and second elements 110, 120 to be moved together and the entire locking device to be removed. If an electronic security device is included, then this will trigger an alarm condition, but if it is a planned removal, this can be ignored. It should be noted that the locking device 100 may be fitted as shown in the accompanying drawings, or it may be fitted the other way up. References to upper/lower or similar should be interpreted accordingly.
  • Embodiments of the invention are suitably formed from steel, and/or aluminium, shaped and welded as required.
  • the thickness of the metal can be selected to give the desired degree of mechanical strength.
