Definitions

  • the invention relates to a quick-release fastener with a connecting part of an attachment for transportable large containers, in particular an attachment from a lifting or depositing device for large containers, for example containers, shelters, cabins or the like, which have ISO corner fittings with elongated holes, with each of which a quick-release fastener can be brought into engagement, the quick-action lock having an axially displaceable and rotatable locking bolt against spring pressure with a locking head, the length of which is greater than the width of the elongated holes in the ISO corner fittings and which results from an ineffective assembly or. Insert position can be rotated through an angle of 90 ° into an effective clamping position and can be tightened against the inside of the respective ISO corner fitting by a clamping nut on the locking bolt.
  • the above-mentioned known lifting and depositing device for transportable large containers has four rack and pinion jacks, the brackets of which can be attached to the ISO corner fittings of the container in question by means of quick-release fasteners via approximately container-high connecting bars.
  • the arrangement is such that each connecting bar with a pin rigidly fixed axially parallel to the connecting bar on a cantilever arm is suspended in an upper ISO corner fitting, while the lower end of the connecting bar is connected to the lower one via a cantilevered arm by means of a horizontally arranged quick release fastener ISO corner fitting is fixed.
  • This quick-release fastener is permanently installed in the relevant laterally projecting arm at the lower end of the connecting bar and is provided with a projection which fits exactly into the slot in the lower ISO corner fitting.
  • DE-GM 8 235 609.2 shows a solution of how to attach the arms of a lifting or depositing device for large containers to a corner fitting of a large container by means of a rigid and an axially movable engagement pin.
  • this construction is not readily transferable to the quick fasteners for ISO corner fittings explained above.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a quick release, which avoids the above disadvantages and is flexible to attach attachments easily, quickly and safely to an ISO corner fitting of a large container.
  • the repair of the quick-release fastener is to be simplified and the unit weight of the attachments is to be reduced.
  • the quick-release fastener is designed as an interchangeable component, in which the locking bolt with its biasing spring is mounted in a housing which has a support head relative to the clamping nut and then a main body part with a clear cross section of an elongated hole of an ISO corner fitting has a corresponding cross-section, and that the connecting part contains an elongated hole for fittingly accommodating the main housing part, which can be brought into alignment with an elongated hole of an ISO corner fitting.
  • the quick-release fastener is also suitable for any add-on parts, in particular for connecting parts of lifting and lowering devices for large containers.
  • the quick-release fasteners according to the invention can be dismantled from their connecting parts, so that their piece weights are reduced accordingly.
  • the quick-release fastener can be sent separately for repair and the maintenance of the interchangeable quick-release fasteners is also more convenient than in the prior art.
  • the interchangeable quick-release fastener according to the invention can advantageously also be combined with a quick-release fastener rigidly installed in an add-on part and is therefore also suitable for retrofitting.
  • Another example of an attachment is a roller block.
  • a slot is designed for a suitable reception of the locking head of the locking bolt in its clamping position, it is ensured that when the locking bolt is rotated from its insertion position into its clamping position upon reaching the locking head engages in the slot by spring pressure and is thus blocked against further rotation. This indicates to the operator that the quick-release fastener is in its locked position in this state.
  • the support head on the quick-release fastener housing is frustoconical, the weight of the quick-release fastener is reduced.
  • a still further embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the lengths of the main housing part and the locking bolt of the quick-release fastener are dimensioned for the joint clamping of several attachments. These attachments can e.g. act as a boom of a lifting or depositing device and about the connecting part of a roller block.
  • a lifting or depositing device for a large container 10 has four cantilevers 11 of the same construction which can be detachably fastened at the corners and are each assigned to a rack winch, not shown, by means of which the large container 10 can be raised and lowered.
  • ISO corner fittings 19 and 18 are provided at the top and bottom, on which an approximately container-high connecting bar 20 of the boom 11 can be attached to the large container 10 over a corner and at a distance.
  • the connecting bar 20, which in the exemplary embodiment consists of a square tube, is provided at its upper end with a laterally projecting arm 21, to which a pin 22 is attached, pointing downward, axially parallel to the connecting bar 20.
  • the pin 22 can be inserted into a corresponding opening in the top of the upper ISO corner fitting 19 during assembly of the connecting bar 20 or bracket 11, as a result of which the bracket 11 can be "suspended" on the large container 10 at the start of assembly.
  • the lower end of the connecting bar 20 is then releasably connected to the lower ISO corner fitting 18.
  • a right-angled connecting part 16 is fastened, which is reinforced by a welded-on stiffening plate 15 (FIG. 3).
  • the lower ISO corner fitting 18 has two perpendicular elongated holes 14 arranged with a corner, with which an interchangeable quick-release fastener 17 and a further quick-release fastener 17 'can be brought into engagement.
  • the further quick-release fastener 17 ' is only permanently installed in the connecting part 16 by way of example and a replaceable quick-release fastener 17 can also be provided in its place. The latter construction is even preferred for various reasons explained at the outset.
  • the interchangeable quick-release fastener 17 has a locking bolt 23 which carries a locking head 24 at one end and is provided with a threaded section 25 in the region of its other end.
  • a clamping nut 26 is screwed onto this threaded section 25 and has a rotary handle 27 in addition to its hexagonal section.
  • the locking bolt 23 is also provided with a cylindrical bearing section 28 and a further, reduced-diameter cylindrical bearing section.
  • the quick-release fastener 17 also contains a solid housing 30, which is composed of a main housing part 31 and a support head 32.
  • the main housing part 31 has a cross section which corresponds to the clear cross section of the elongated holes 14 in the ISO corner fitting 18.
  • this main housing part 31 extends through an elongated hole 14 and through an elongated hole 33 in the connecting part 16, which is aligned with the elongated hole 14 in question and has the same cross section as this.
  • the support head 32 is frustoconical and is seated on the outside of the connecting part 16 when the quick-release fastener 17 (FIG. 3) is installed.
  • the quick-release housing 30 contains a bore 34 into which a compression spring 35 and a bearing bush 36 are installed, the latter being axially displaceable.
  • the locking bolt 23 is rotatably and axially displaceably mounted in the housing 30.
  • the bearing section 28 of the locking bolt 23 is seated in a housing bore 37, while the bearing section 29 is mounted in the bush 36.
  • a washer 38 is arranged between the clamping nut 26 and the support head 32.
  • a locking pin 39 fastened to the outer end of the locking bolt 23 prevents the clamping nut 26 from being inadvertently unscrewed from the locking bolt 23.
  • a transversely axial slot 40 is worked out, into which the locking head 24 in its in FIG. 3 and 6 shown clamping position engages or engages under the pressure of the spring 35.
  • the locking bolt 23 'of the quick-release fastener 17' has an elongated cylindrical bearing section 28 'and is mounted with it in a bore 37' which is worked out in the connecting part 16.
  • the projection 41 also includes the slot 40 into which the locking head 24 engages in its clamping position shown in FIG. 3.
  • the bearing bush 36 and the compression spring 35 are installed in a bore 34 'in the connecting part 16. In Fig. 3, both quick fasteners 17 and 17 'are in their clamping positions in order to firmly connect the connecting part 16 on the connecting bar 20 to the ISO corner fitting 18 or the large container 10.
  • the bar 20 is, as already explained, first hooked into the upper ISO corner fitting 19 with the pin 22. Then the connector 16 is brought into contact with the lower ISO corner fitting 18. During this process, the interchangeable quick-release fastener 17 has not yet been installed and the projection 41 on the connecting part 16 can thus be inserted into the slot 14 in question in the ISO corner fitting 18.
  • the closure head 24 is in the assembly or insertion position shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 for the quick release 17.
  • the locking bolt 23 is rotated through an angle of 90 ° into its clamping position, which is shown in FIGS. 3 and 6.
  • the locking head 24 engages in the slot 40 and comes into contact with a bearing surface 42 on the inside of the ISO corner fitting 18. Now the quick-release fastener 17 'can be pretensioned by appropriate rotation of the clamping nut 26.
  • the interchangeable quick-release fastener 17 is inserted with the main housing part 31 into the elongated holes 33 and 14 of the ISO corner fitting 18 in its assembly state shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 until the support head 32 rests on the outside of the connecting part 16.
  • the closure head 24 thus assumes the insertion position shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 during this process.
  • the locking bolt 23 is rotated by an angle of 90 ° , whereupon the locking head 24 automatically engages in the slot 40 on the housing 30 under the influence of the compression spring 35.
  • the locking head 24 comes into contact with a further contact surface 42 on the ISO corner fitting 18.
  • the quick-release fastener 17 can also be pretensioned by a corresponding rotation of the clamping nut 26, whereupon the lower end of the connecting rod 20 or its connecting part 16 is firmly attached the lower ISO corner fitting 18 is connected to the large container 10.
  • the quick-release fastener 17 is removed, namely by loosening the clamping nut 26, until the locking bolt 23 can be moved axially inwards so far that the locking head 24 lies outside the slot 40 and the locking bolt 23 can then be rotated through an angle of 90 ° to bring the closure head 24 into its ineffective mounting or insertion position (FIGS. 4 and 5). Then the quick release 17 can be pulled out of the elongated holes 14 and 33.
  • the quick fastener 17 is also suitable for other attachments and can be fixed to the lower and / or upper ISO corner fittings of a large container or the like.
