Definitions

  • the invention is related to a container locking de ⁇ vice of t istlock type for lockingly interconnecting stacked containers, for locking containers to the deck of a ship, etc, using the container standard corner boxes and the elongated openings thereof, comprising a twistlock housing, an upper and a lower twistlock connec ⁇ tor carried by a common shaft extending through the hous ⁇ ing, the upper connector being spring biased towards a locking position, and being rotatable to an unlocked po ⁇ sition by rotating the shaft using the lower connector as a handle, said housing being provided with upright upper and lower neck means for penetrating into a respective box opening and for fittingly interacting therewith.
  • the invention also relates to use of the inventive lock ⁇ ing device for locking upper and lower containers, of which, after stacking, one end is freely accessible and the other end is substantially non-accessible.
  • Containers of the actual type have two standard sizes with a length of 20 foot or 40 foot.
  • the containers When trans ⁇ ported on ships, but also when handled on docks, quays, in storing houses etc, the containers are normally stacked on top of each other.
  • a modern container ship has a capacity of 4000 TEU, Twenty-foot Eqvivalent Units, that is 4000 containers of 20 foot-length type.
  • container ships having a capacity of 6000 TEU, a lenght of about 300 and a width of about 42 m.
  • the stacking height is 10-15 containers, " each hav ⁇ ing a height of 2,5 m, i.e. a total of more than 25... m.
  • the containers must be safely secured to each other and to the deck of the ship in order not to slide or become offset, for ex ⁇ ample during rough weather conditions.
  • corner boxes or castings provided in each corner of the container are used for locking and lashing the containers.
  • a com om type twistlock comprises a twistlock housing having a base plate on which the upper container rests against the lower con- tainer, said base plate being provided with upper and lower upright neck means which fit into said openings, upper and lower rotateable locking cones which, after having been introduced into said openings, will grip un ⁇ der an adjoining surface of the box, and an operating means for bringing said locking cones to unlocked posi ⁇ tions.
  • This twistlock has been disclosed in the international patent application WO92/05093, equivalent to SE Patent No. 9003041-1.
  • said operating means com ⁇ prises a flexible wire handle.
  • the twist or locking cones which are spring biased towards a locking posi- tion, may be rotated by pulling this handle into differ ⁇ ent defined positions.
  • the handle may be operated from deck by the use of a so called actuator pole.
  • a said rigid type lock ⁇ ing means has the general feature that it will automati- cally slide into engagement when putting down the upper container, respectively slide out of engangement when lifting the container after the conventional twistlocks have been unlocked.
  • a rigid type locking means is disclosed in US patent 3,973,684.
  • This locking means comprises a planar base member with an upright post connector having a ramped sliding surface, and on the opposite side of said base member a flanged foot connector.
  • the foot con ⁇ nector When used, the foot con ⁇ nector is introduced into a corner box of the lower con ⁇ tainer, thereafter the locking means is rotated round its vertical axis, thereby engaging its flanges with the in ⁇ terior of the corner box.
  • said post connector penetrates into the openings of the upper container, and by sliding on said sliding sur ⁇ face a free end of said post connector is brought into a vertical opening of the corner box.
  • a rigid locking means of similar type is marketed by the company Peck & Hale under the name “Lock-Matic Stacker F733"; still another by the company Ceman- under the name “Selflock G3.7”; yet another by the company International Lashing Systems America Inc. under the name "Self-locating Stacker IF-
  • the so called "Automatic fixing cone AFC-1" marketed by Conver OSR GmbH represents a different approach of a rigid type locking means, comprising a housing having fixed upper and lower connectors, each connector being provided with fixed nose elements extending in the longi ⁇ tudinal direction of the corner box opening, a locking element being provided for preventing longitudinal move- ment.
  • the upper connector When in use, the upper connector is introduced into a corner box at the "non-accessible" end of the hanging container until the nose element of the upper connector has penetrated into said vertical box opening. In this position said locking element is brought to a locking po ⁇ sition, thereby securing the locking means in the corner box by preventing the same from sliding along the open ⁇ ing.
  • this locking means demands a defined sequence of "interlocking steps" during loading, in the sense that the nose element of the lower connector must achieve its locking position before the twist locks at the opposite end come into grip, because otherwise the container may not move longitudinally and allow the fixed nose element to pass into the lower corner box.
  • this locking means requires an almost perfect hori ⁇ zontal position of the ship, which may change during loading. Expressed in other words, the operabability of this lock during loading depends on both "trim” and “list” of the ship, which is clearly disadvantageous.
  • An- other drawback being that said locking element is rather fragile and small and therefore difficult to operate with rough workgloves on your hands. Yet another drawback is that the lock shows a substantial clearance in the verti ⁇ cal direction.
  • European patent application No. 91116305.3, appli ⁇ cant Conver OSR GmbH discloses a modified version of the "Automatic fixing cone" described above.
  • the upper and lower connectors are made in one piece which is moveable along an elongated, vertical through-hole in said housing, said unit being biased in the direction of said nose elements.
  • a locking element is used for locking the position of the housing in the longitudinal direction of the upper con ⁇ tainer opening after the upper connector has been prop ⁇ erly introduced therein.
  • the design is relatively compli ⁇ cated as consisting of numerous components, some of which have comparatively small dimensions, and therefore not very well fitted for the relatively low precision manu-poleuring methods which are preferably used, involving casted and forged elements.
  • a common disadvantage of this version and the one described above is the fact, that said locking element, being a relative fragile component, will have to withstand the longships horizontal forces acting upon the housing when the lower connector slides into its locking position, this "negative feature" being a direct consequence of the design concept, requiring that the upper fixed connector needs to be rotatable in the box opening by rotating the housing for its attach ⁇ ment therein. Therefore, it is not possible to have an upright neck means, which fits into said opening, on the upper side like on the lower side of the housing base plate. In combination these shortcomings may explain the fact that the last described version has not appeared on the market.
  • One object of invention is to obtain a locking de ⁇ vice not showing the drawbacks of prior art devices as described above. Another object is to obtain a locking device of a design making it possible to use a preferable and safe method for handling the same during container loading and unloading. Still another object is to obtain a locking device of a design making it possible to main ⁇ tain the benefits as to costs and relibility of using casted and forged components therein. Other objects of invention and advantages obtained thereby will be evident from the following desciption.
  • a locking device ac- cording to the opening paragraph of this specification wherein said lower connector provides a latch nose ex ⁇ tending transversally in relation to said shaft, and, when the upper connector takes its locking position in an upper container corner box, said latch nose extending in the longitudinal direction of said opening and being, in the same direction moveable in relation to said shaft for lockingly engaging the corner box of a lower container.
  • the inventive locking device has the advantages, that the upper container may be put down straight vertically and released simply, after having disconnected the opposite end twist locks, by the nose sliding out of engagement, and that the user ergono y is good because, when attach ⁇ ing the locking device in the underside corner boxes of a hanging container, a twister operation may be used for bringing the upper connector to its unlocked position which is the same as used for the twist locks at the op ⁇ posite end of the container, in both cases using the lower connector as a handle. This eliminates confusion when the locking devices are secured respectively re- leased in the quay area. Another advantage being that the basic design and throuroughly tested design elements of the common twist lock may be used to a large extent.
  • said movable latch nose is elastically bi- ased in its movement direction.
  • the biasing automatically brings the latch nose into grip with the adjoining sur ⁇ face part of the corner box.
  • said lower connector has a generally cone-shaped body of which the base adjoins the housing, has the characterizing feature that the latch nose is provided by a front end part of the cone base, which is moveable in relation to the ver ⁇ tical shaft.
  • the latch nose is formed by a base part of said cone body shaped as a trun ⁇ cated cone, which is moveably attached to the shaft via an oblong vertical hole therein.
  • the lower end of the shaft is provided with a horizontal spindle to which the cone shaped body is attached via oblong recesses.
  • said truncated cone part or said cone-shaped body will tilt around said spindle and said force will be taken up at the contact surface between an upper rear end part thereof and the housing.
  • said rear end contact surface provides a frictional surface which is pressed against the housing by a lifting force acting upon the locking device. The friction created thereby secures the engage ⁇ ment position of the latch nose.
  • the shaft is verti- cally moveable, and said truncated cone part alterna ⁇ tively said recesses have a "widening-wedge function" in the nose engagement direction. From this follows, when the latch nose moves in the engagement direction, that the shaft will be moved downwardly by said wedge func- tion, thereby decreasing the overall vertical clearance of the locking device. This feature generally improves and safeguards the interconnecting function of the lock ⁇ ing device and may be specifically important in relation to high container stacks. Further preferred embodiments of the inventive lock ⁇ ing device are evident from the following claims.

  • a biasing helical spring 30 is provided on a horizontal pin 29, which is fixed to the shaft, said spring 30 continuing into a recess into which the pin 29 penetrates when the nose part 26 is moved. This movement (to the left on the drawing) takes place when the connector is introduced into the corner box opening by sliding the inclined sur- face 19 of the nose part 26 against box edge part 12.

  • the oblong vertical opening of the nose part allows tilting of the nose part 26 when the engagement nose end 31 thereof is pressed downwards by a lifting upper con ⁇ tainer.
  • the tilt movement of the nose part 26 takes place without the transfer of a torque to the shaft 7, thereby eleminating bending forces on the same.
  • the torque will be taken up by the upper rear end surface 32 of the nose element 26, being pressed into contact with the adjoining surface of the housing. In turn this creates friction between the nose element 26 and the housing which secures the horizontal position of the nose element and thereby its engagement under said box edge part 12.
  • the truncated-cdne shaped nose element 26 has a wedge shape in the plane of the drawing which narrows in the direction of the nose 31.
  • said wedge wid ⁇ ens successively and creates thereby, via part 27, a pulling force on the shaft 7, moving the shaft and the upper connector 2 downwards. From this movement of the shaft follows that the upper connector 2 will be tight ⁇ ened against the interacting box surface, thereby reduc ⁇ ing the vertical clearance of the locking device.
  • Fig. 5 discloses a fourth embodiment of the locking device according to the invention, comprising a housing with base plate 4, upper and lower neck means 5 and 6 and the extension 22 with the erect element 14, as well as an upper connector 2, all in correspondence with the embodi ⁇ ments disclosed in Figures 3 and 4.

  • the spindle 37 allows for a tilt movement of the connector body when influenced by a pressure force on its nose engagement surface 33.
  • the torque is taken up at the contact surface between the rear upper part 32 of the connector body and the opposite surface of the housing. Again friction is created at said place of contact, which secures the engagement position of the latch nose, and furthermore makes it possible to use a more inclined and rounded engagement part 33 of the nose, which in turn creates a close fit to the shape of the engagement surface of the corner box, thereby allow- ing the nose to penetrate as far as possible under said edge part 12.
  • the sloped nose has positive ef ⁇ fects on the performance when sliding the latch nose out of grip.
