Definitions

  • the second elongate component comprises a sheet material having a planar part and one or more limbs extending from the planar part, each of the one or more limbs including a respective bend at a location along the length of the limb, and the planar part being absent of any bend, and wherein a face of the planar part of the second elongate component is secured against a face of the second panel of the first elongate component, ends of each of the one or more limbs furthest from the planar part of the second component are secured against the wall, and an edge of the first panel that is opposite to the first bend is secured against the wall at a location separated from the one or more limbs.

  • the container 1 absorbs and upwardly directs forces of an explosion originating inside the container 1 by the container being structurally sound and strong due to the two side walls 4, 5 and the rear wall 3 being integrally formed and the door 2 being securely attached to the container 1.

  • the container 1 remains in its position as it is secured to the ground upon which it stands.
  • the three walls 3, 4, 5 can withstand forces of great magnitude as they are formed out of a single sheet of metal.
  • the door 2, being in a locked position, remains secured to the container 1 due the locking hooks being located in the channels 66.
  • the locking channel structures 50 attached to the container 1 can resist forces generated from an explosion within the container in a direction perpendicular to the side walls 4, 5 due to the second panel 54 of the first elongate component 51 lying in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the side walls 4, 5.
  • the locking channel structures 50 can also resist forces exerted perpendicular to the plane of the door 2 due to the third panel 55 of the first elongate component 51 being attached to the first planar part 60 of the second component 52.
  • the locking pins 28 located in the channels 66 when the door 2 is in a locked position add additional structural integrity to the locking channels as they prevent the channels from collapsing by the second wall 54 being forced to a position parallel to the side walls 4, 5 of the container 1.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une structure permettant de retenir un crochet de verrouillage. La structure comprend une paroi, un premier composant allongé et un second composant allongé. Le premier composant allongé comprendre une longueur de matériau en feuilles présentant une première courbure raccordant directement un premier panneau du premier composant allongé à un second panneau du premier composant allongé. Le second composant allongé comprend un matériau en feuilles présentant une partie plane et un ou plusieurs organes s'étendant depuis la partie plane. Chacun des organes comprend une courbure respective à un endroit situé le long de l'organe, la partie plane ne comportant pas de courbure. Une face de la partie plane du second composant allongé est fixée contre une face du second panneau du premier composant allongé. Les extrémités de chacun des organes les plus éloignés de la partie plane du second composant sont fixées contre la paroi, et un bord du premier panneau qui est opposé à la première courbure est fixé contre la paroi à un endroit séparé desdits organes.
