Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improvement made to containers, in particular metal containers, of the type comprising two longitudinal side rails as well as a plurality of support crutches articulated on the body of the container and integral with the latter.
- Containers of this type are known per se. They nevertheless have the essential drawback that the crutches, in the folded position, are always projecting relative to the volume of the container, which is a major drawback for the use thereof and its handling.
- the invention aims to remedy these drawbacks.
- an improvement is proposed for this purpose for containers, in particular metal containers, of the type comprising two longitudinal side rails as well as a plurality of support crutches articulated on the body of the container and integral with the latter, characterized in that each stand, in the storage position, can be fully retracted in the side rails of the container so as to leave no protruding part under the structural volume of said container.
- This device has the advantage of being able to be adapted to any existing container with side rails, while respecting the constraints linked to the road gauge.
- FIG. 1 is a partial view in side elevation of a device according to the invention in the position of use ;
- Figure 2 is a front view of Figure 1;
- FIG. 3 is a partial side elevational view of the device of Figure 1 in the retracted position;
- FIG. 4 is a front view in cross section illustrating a detail of the crutch retraction device.
- a device secured to a container which can be incorporated into the volume thereof and into the original structure of a standard container, for example a 20-foot container constructed at ISO standard, crutches also remaining integral with the container in the retracted position without exceeding the authorized road gauge.
- Figure 4 For understanding the structure of the container. This comprises a container body (1) proper, with a floor (2) and resting on lateral beams (3,4) open laterally outward, braced by joists (5) in I integral with said beams .
- a sleeve (7) is housed from one side member to the other, in which the support arms (8, 9) of the crutches are able to slide. In their sliding, these support arms are guided and retained in the extreme deployed position so as to avoid their exit from the sheath (7), by a rod (10) provided on one of its ends with a locking washer (11) welded to a stand (12) and at its other end with a washer (13) which can slide relative to the other stand (14).
- the locking washer (11) will be welded to the outside of the support arm (8).
- the support arm (9) has at its inner end a crutch extension stop washer (15) and at its outer end a welded plug (16).
- each sleeve corresponding to a pair of crutches will be welded to the side members (3,4).
- FIG. 1 where there is shown for example the stand (15) with the corresponding spar (3.3a) and the container 1.
- This figure also shows the cylindrical sheath (7) and the support arm (8).
- the stand (15) comprises a support arm (16) comprising a removable pin (17) journalled on a yoke (18) integral with said support arm.
- the strut is movable, like the support arm (16) in a substantially vertical plane.
- the articulation (20) comprises a support plate (21) welded to the spar and carrying a nut axis (22) with pin.
- the strut (19) is articulated on this assembly by a ball joint (23).
- a ball joint 23.
- it will include, attached to the support arm, a substantially triangular gusset (24) (see Figure 4).
- each stand will have a support sole (26) for a better distribution of the force on the ground.
- the device After sliding of the support arm in its sheath, the device occupies the position shown in FIG. 3.
- the support arm (16) will include an insert (28) which will cooperate for locking with a yoke
- the pin (17) and its locking pin (30) will advantageously be used, which furthermore avoids losing it.
- a tab (31) added to maintain the strut in the locked position on said support arm.
- the axis passage (32) of the strut will be threaded on a stud fixed to the spar.
- the crutches (12,14) may include an individual locking means to replace their assembly in pairs using the rod (10) to allow removal, for example by rotation of half turn.
- each transversely retractable structure will include a stop (36) which cooperates with a limiter (37).
