Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for connecting containers stacked on ships, in particular on the deck of ships, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • bridge fittings are used to anchor the upper layer of containers stacked on a ship's deck or hatch covers, for example.
  • the devices connect two adjacent containers in the horizontal direction.
  • the device has two hook-shaped or socket-shaped hooking sections which fit into the recesses of upper container corner fittings of two adjacent ones Intervene container.
  • the effective length of the device can be varied by changing the distance between the hooking sections or the connecting parts.
  • a device of this type is known from EP-A-268 415, in which the hooking section of a first connecting part is connected to one end of an elongated adjusting section.
  • a second connecting part is slidably mounted on the adjustment section.
  • the adjustment section has locking steps that correspond to locking steps on the second connecting part. These locking stages are arranged on a pawl which is pivotally mounted on the second connecting part. By actuating the pawl, the second connecting part can be displaced on the adjusting section and the distance between the hooking sections of the individual connecting parts can thereby be changed in stages.
  • a disadvantage of the known device is the pawl for making or releasing the connection between the two connecting parts.
  • This pawl represents an additional component that makes the device unnecessarily expensive.
  • the pawl can be easily damaged due to the rough operation on board ships and / or rust in the salty air at sea or by contact with salt water. Both have the consequence that the device no longer works properly or is even destroyed.
  • the pawl does not necessarily ensure reliable locking of the second connecting part on the adjustment section. This can lead to an incorrect connection of the containers going unnoticed.
  • the object of the invention is to design a device of the type mentioned at the outset such that the distance between the hooking sections or connecting parts to one another can be easily adapted to the respective position of the containers to be connected to one another and, moreover, the device is robust and easy to handle.
  • the device according to the invention has the features of claim 1.
  • the distance between the connecting parts can be changed and locked by simply rotating the (second) connecting part on the adjustment section of the (first) connecting part.
  • the hooking sections arranged on the connecting parts can only be brought into engagement with the corner fittings of the containers to be connected if the (second) connecting part is locked on the adjusting section.
  • the latching steps are preferably formed by projections and depressions. These can be formed by trapezoidal, sawtooth, shaft or ring grooves. In particular, wave-shaped annular grooves come into consideration, which are particularly insensitive to external influences.
  • the latching steps are designed such that they can be moved past one another in the displacement position and come into engagement with one another by rotating one of the two connecting parts in a locking position.
  • the hooking sections are designed in such a way that after they are inserted into the respective container corner fitting, they are held almost rigidly, in particular cannot be tilted. In this way, the hooking sections do not exert any bending moment on the elongated adjustment section on the first connecting part.
  • the adjustment section is therefore only subjected to tension and can therefore be dimensioned accordingly small. This leads to weight savings, which are particularly important when handling the device according to the invention.
  • the devices shown are bridge fittings 10 for anchoring preferably the upper layer of a ship's deck or hatch covers stacked containers, not shown.
  • the bridge fittings 10 establish a transverse, horizontal connection between two adjacent containers by bridging container corner fittings 11 of the adjacent containers.
  • the bridge fitting 10 is provided with two connection parts 12, 13 which are operatively connected, arranged at a variable distance from one another and which determine the effective length of the bridge fitting 10.
  • Each of the two connecting parts 12, 13 enters a recess 14 in the respective container corner fitting 11 of two (not shown) adjacent containers.
  • the other (second) connecting part 13 can be moved back and forth in the direction of the double arrow 15 and can be locked in place.
  • the effective length of the bridge fitting 10 is determined by the gradual displaceability and lockability of the second connecting part 13 on the first connecting part 12.
  • the first connecting part 12 has an elongated adjustment section 16.
  • a hooking section 18 is integrally formed on one end 17 of the adjusting section 16.
  • a multiplicity of latching steps 20, which are located at a short distance from one another, are arranged, which receive the second anchoring part 13 in a displaceable and lockable manner.
  • the hooking section 18 is hook-shaped.
  • On the leg 21, which extends approximately perpendicular to the adjustment section 16, a retaining lug 22 is arranged at the end, which extends approximately parallel to the adjustment section 16 and is directed away from the end 19 of the adjustment section 16.
  • the retaining lug 22 comes to rest on the underside 23 of the container corner fitting 11 in the region of the reveal of the associated recess 14, in particular when the entire bridge fitting 10 is loaded.
  • the hooking section 18 together with its leg 21 and the retaining lug 22 is inserted into the associated recess 14 of the container corner fitting 11 by a corresponding rotation of the adjustment section 16.
  • the insertion or hooking-in preferably takes place in the direction of the smaller dimension of the elongated oval recess 14.
  • the end 19 of the adjustment section 16 provided with the latching steps 20 is approximately flat profile-like (see in particular FIGS. 3 to 5).
  • the latching steps 20 are arranged on two opposite sides, in particular on the top 24 and the bottom 25 of the connecting piece 16, namely arc-shaped areas between two opposite flats 38 on the cylindrical adjustment section 16.
  • the locking steps 20 at the end 19 of the adjustment section 16 are formed on the opposite sides 24, 25 by alternating projections 26 and depressions 27.
  • the projections 26 and depressions 27 along the arcuate regions of the upper side 24 and the lower side 25 of the flat profile-like end 19 of the adjustment section 16 are formed here as wavy annular grooves.
  • a bolt 28 is also provided which, as a holder, prevents the second connecting part 13 from sliding down from the end 19 of the adjustment section 16 and thus being lost.
  • the second connecting part 13 comprises an anchoring sleeve 29 which surrounds the end 19 of the adjustment section 16 in the axial direction (cf. in particular FIGS. 1 and 2).
  • the anchoring sleeve 29 of the second connecting part 13 is designed such that the other connecting part 13 can be displaced on the adjusting section 16 provided with locking steps 20 and at the same time brought into or out of engagement with the adjusting section 16 by rotation about the longitudinal axis 30.
  • the anchoring sleeve 29 is provided on its inner circumference 31 with at least one, but here with three counter-latching steps 32.
  • the counter-locking steps 32 can be connected to one another in a form-fitting manner with the correspondingly designed locking steps 20 of the adjusting section 16 by rotating the other connecting part 13 about the longitudinal axis 30 of the adjusting section 16.
  • the counter-locking steps 32 on the inner circumference 31 of the anchoring sleeve 29 are of the same shape and shape as the locking steps 20 of the connecting piece 16 and are also arranged at the same distance from one another.
  • the counter detent steps 32 are also formed with alternating projections 33 and depressions 34 by annular grooves, which are themselves wave-shaped.
  • the projections 33 and depressions 34 are, however, only provided along a partial inner circumference 35, in particular on opposite sides 36, 37, which essentially correspond to the flats 38 located between the upper side 24 and the lower side 25 of the flat profile-like adjustment section 16.
  • the second connecting part 13 is equipped with a hooking section 39, on which a retaining lug 40 is integrally formed.
  • This retaining lug 40 comes to rest on the underside 23 of the container corner fitting 11 in the region of the reveal of the associated recess 14.
  • the anchoring base 39 with the retaining lug 40 engages by rotating the second connecting part 13 with its anchoring sleeve 29 about the longitudinal axis 30 of the adjustment section 16 into the associated recess 14.
  • the insertion of the hooking section 39 with the holding lug 40 takes place in particular in the direction of the larger dimension of the recess 14, which is also elongated oval like the one into which the hooking section 18 of the bridge fitting 10 is inserted together with the holding lug 22. Only the direction of insertion of hooking sections 18 with holding lug 22 or of hooking section 39 with holding lug 40 is different.
  • the second connecting part 13 is finally provided with a handle 41 or an actuating lever of a comparable type, which is arranged approximately diametrically to the retaining lug 40 formed on the hooking section 39, in particular for better leverage.
  • the adjustment section 16 which can be subjected to tensile and compressive loads, lies in the anchoring position of the hooking section 18, on the one hand, and the second connecting part 13, on the other hand, only a small distance above the top 42 of the two associated container corner fittings 11, approximately parallel trending this. In this way, bending moments caused by the force transmission, which mainly act on the adjustment section 16, can be kept relatively low.
  • the bridge fitting 10 is first brought into an inclined position according to FIG. 1.
  • the hook-shaped hooking section 18 with the molded-on retaining lug 22 is inserted into the associated recess 14 of the container corner fitting 11 of the one container, in particular in the direction of the smaller dimension of the elongated oval recess 14, in accordance with the arrow 43.
  • the adjustment section 16 By turning the adjustment section 16 about its end 17 in accordance with arrow 44, the retaining lug 22 comes to rest on the underside 23 of the container corner fitting 11 in the region of the reveal of the recess 14.
  • the second connecting part 13 is brought into positive engagement with the latter via the interlocking locking steps 20 and counter-locking steps 32 by rotating it about the longitudinal axis 30 of the adjusting section 16 according to arrow 45 in FIG. 4.
  • the holding lug 20 of the hooking section 39 engages under the underside 23 of the container corner fitting 11 during this rotary movement and comes into contact with it when the rotary movement of the second connecting part 13 ends in the region of the reveal of the recess 14, as shown in FIG. 5.
  • the hooking section 39 is in the transition region to the handle 41 with a stop 46 provided.
  • the second connecting part 13 is first rotated back about the longitudinal axis 30 of the adjustment section 16 of the first connecting part 12 according to arrow 47 according to FIG. 5 into the starting position according to FIG. 3. This is then followed by everyone in the train assembly instructions, but in reverse order.
  • the bridge fitting 10 according to the second exemplary embodiment of the invention can be seen from FIGS. 6 and 7. It is also composed of two connecting parts 49, 50.
  • the first connecting part 49 is formed here in several pieces. It has an elongated adjustment section 51 and a hooking base 52 articulated thereon.
  • the hooking base 52 has a hooking section 53 which is designed such that it holds the hooking base 52 inserted into the container corner fitting 11 almost rigidly, namely non-tilting, in the container corner fitting 11.
  • the hook-in base 52 has a support surface 54 resting on the container corner fitting 11.
  • a central section 55 with a cross bar 56 fixedly attached to it connects to the support surface 54.
  • the central section 55 is approximately cylindrical and dimensioned such that it passes through the recess 14 in the container corner fitting 11.
  • the cross bar 56 has approximately the dimensions of the elongated recess 14. In this way, the hooking base 52 of the connecting part 49 can be inserted into the container corner fitting 11 from above through the recess 14 in a position rotated by 90 ° with respect to the illustration in FIG.
  • the elongated adjustment section which is arranged in an articulated manner on the hook-in base 52, has at its end 19 facing away from the hook-in base 52 a plurality of latching steps 20 made of successive projections 26 and depressions 27 which, as in the case of the adjustment section 16 of the first exemplary embodiment of the bridge fitting 10 are formed, to which extent reference is made.
  • the second connecting part 50 essentially corresponds to the connecting part 13 of the first exemplary embodiment.
  • the hooking section 57 is designed for rigid, namely in turn non-tiltable, fastening of the connecting part 50 to the container corner fitting 11.
  • the hooking section 57 has a support surface 58, which is supported at the top on the container corner fitting 11, namely on opposite edge regions of the elongated recess 14.
  • the hooking section 57 has a central section 59 which projects through the elongated recess 14 and protrudes towards the inside of the container corner fitting 11.
  • two opposing pawls 60 are arranged, which can be moved into the recess 14 into the central section 59 for inserting the hooking section 57 and can be moved out of the central section 59 after being inserted into the container corner fitting 11 into those in FIG. 6 Shown position for locking the hooking section 57 in the recess 14 of the container corner fitting 11.
  • the hooking section 57 is rotatably connected to the anchoring sleeve 29 of the connecting part 50, which is designed like the connecting part 13 of the first exemplary embodiment of the bridge fitting 10.
  • the prescribed configuration of the hooking sections 53 and 57 of the connecting parts 49 and 50 of the exemplary embodiment of the bridge fitting 10 according to FIGS. 6 and 7 ensures that the elongated adjusting section 51 essentially only tensile forces are transmitted.
  • the adjustment section 51 of this exemplary embodiment of the bridge fitting 10 can absorb greater loads or - given the same loads - can be made smaller in cross section than the adjustment section 16 of the first exemplary embodiment of the invention, thereby saving weight compared to the bridge fitting 10 of the first exemplary embodiment .
  • the invention is not restricted to the exemplary embodiment shown.
  • the bridge fitting according to the invention could also easily be used in recesses other than the upper recesses of two adjacent container corner fittings.
