Definitions
- the corner fitting of the above type specified in the international standard ISO 1161 is intended for large containers, whose external dimensions are between 10 and 40 feet (around 3 to 12 m) in length, 8 feet (around 2.40 m) in width and up to 8 1 1 2 feet in height.
- the known, standardized corner fittings are designed as cuboid box-like components with dimensions of approximately 170 x 160 x 120 mm and are correspondingly heavy.
- a disadvantage of the known corner fittings is that because of the arrangement of the openings mentioned and because of the different design of the upper and lower corner fittings, four different corner fittings are required for the eight corners of a container.
- the invention has for its object to provide a corner fitting for small and medium-sized containers, which is designed so that it can be used in the same shape for at least the four upper corners and in the same shape for the four lower corners of a container, with little Weight and small dimensions has a high rigidity and additionally allows a simple and direct lateral coupling between the facing corners of adjacent containers in order to combine a group of smaller containers into a unit that can be handled in one piece.
- the opening formed in the triangular surface can have the shape characterized in one of claims 3 or 4. In both cases, the corner areas of the triangular surface are left, so that the stiffening effect of this inclined surface is guaranteed.
- the same also applies to the development of the invention according to claim 5, in which instead of a single opening three openings are provided which are assigned to the respective trimmed walls of the corner fitting.
- the corner fitting can be formed from a blank of simple, closed form essentially by a cut and edging processes around essentially two straight lines.
- the two quarter surfaces of the blank which come to lie on top of one another and are connected to one another, advantageously result in the upper surface of a corner fitting to be attached to an upper container corner or the lower surface of a lower corner fitting.
- the top wall of the corner fitting has double thickness is important because this surface serves to accommodate containers to be stacked thereon, as well as an attack surface for crane hooks, coupling or lashing elements.
- the double thickness of the lower wall is important for its strength as the support surface of the container. If sufficient material thickness is assumed, the remaining three surfaces of the corner fitting facing the container, such as those available for the corner fittings for large containers specified in the international standard ISO 1161, can be omitted.
- connection between the node piece and the outer walls of the corner fitting can be made according to the development of the invention according to claim 33 in that the tips of the node piece are bent in the direction of the outer container corner or in the opposite direction and welded overlapping with the walls.
- the corners of the three walls of the corner fitting, which are diagonally opposite the outer corner of the fitting can be folded inwards and welded to overlap with the knot piece trimmed at its tips.
- the opening 15 provided in the inclined surface 14 has the shape of a circle inscribed in the triangle of the inclined surface. 2 and 3, the opening 15 'or 15 "has the shape of a hexagon, in FIG. 2 it is a regular hexagon, of which every other side coincides with the triangle of the inclined surface 14, so that only the corner areas of the triangular area remain. In FIG. 3, the hexagonal opening 15 "takes up almost the entire triangular area.
- the inclined edge formed by the inclined surface 14 and the upper wall 12 of the container fitting is reinforced according to FIG. 1 by a wing 21 which extends approximately obliquely upwards and outwards and is approximately in the form of a segment of a circle.
- This wing 21 also has the function of an alignment and stop element when stacking containers, the corresponding inclined edge on the lower corner fitting of the container to be placed on it being guided into the correct position by the wing 21.
- the obliquely upward-pointing wing 21 is provided only for fittings intended for upper corners of containers, while it is missing for lower corner fittings.
- upper corner fittings are different from lower corner fittings; Due to the cubic shape, however, each corner fitting can be used for all four upper or all four lower container corners.
- wire ropes, packaging tapes, chains or similar connecting elements can also be used, which are pulled through the holes in the relevant corner fittings and tensioned.
- the blank according to FIG. 4 is cut through in the upper part of line 36 in FIG. 4, as shown with the solid line, in the lower part of line 36 as well as along line 35 each bent in the same direction by 90 °.
- the two quarter surfaces 33 and 34 come to lie on one another and are sufficiently welded to one another.
- the fold line 35 is offset in the area of its intersection with the line 36 by the material thickness of the blank 30 in order to ensure a clean cube shape in the finished corner fitting.
- the holes 19 provided in the side walls 31, 32 of the corner fitting serve for the lateral coupling of containers standing next to each other, and these holes 19 can also be accommodated in the quarter-circular starting surface of the blank, which is also advantageous because of the material and weight savings, especially since corner area of the wall lying outside the circular arc (with an imaginary square initial shape) is of little importance for the strength of the corner.
- the corner fitting shown in FIG. 5 is mounted on the respective container by inserting its edge profile elements into the edge areas of the corner fitting or also placing them on and welding them.
- a breakthrough 50 is provided in the reinforcement wall 48 which, in conjunction with the elongated hole 20 provided in the upper surface of the corner fitting, serves to hang a crane hook.
- the walls 12 and 13 and the node piece 53 leave open a triangular opening in FIG. 10 which faces the container.
- Corresponding triangular openings are formed by the node piece 53 with the two walls 13 and 16 and the two walls 12 and 16.
- the frame elements of the container can be inserted through these openings, which are shown in FIG. 13 as angle profile rails 55 are.
- angle profile rails 55 By overlapping the ends of the angle profile rails 55 with the edge areas of the corner fitting, inaccuracies in the lengths of the angle profile rails can be compensated for without impairing the overall outer dimensions of the container.
- the angle profile rails can be welded overlapped with the corner fitting.
