Description
- This invention relates to a retainer, more particularly to a retainer for securing together upper and lower shipping containers.
- Referring to
Figs. 1 and2 , to prevent a stack ofshipping containers 12 from shifting away from each other or slipping into the sea from acontainer ship 11, aside from using a binding device (not shown) to fix theshipping containers 12 to thecontainer ship 11, a plurality ofretainers 13 are further used to engagecorner pieces 14 of each pair ofsuperimposed shipping containers 12. Each of theretainers 13 has upper and lower retainingmembers intermediate member 131 between the upper and lower retaining members 132,133. - In use, the upper retaining
members 132 of theretainers 13 are first inserted into thecorner pieces 14 of oneshipping container 12, after which amagnetic hanging system 15 is used to move theshipping container 12 to thecontainer ship 11. Thelower retaining members 133 of theretainers 13 are then inserted into thecorner pieces 14 of anothershipping container 12 that is disposed on thecontainer ship 11, thereby securing together the two superimposedshipping containers 12. - Under normal circumstances, the
shipping containers 12 maintain their orderly arrangement in a stack for the duration of the journey. However, when the container ship 11 encounters heavy wind and big waves, or bumps into something, the center of gravity of theshipping containers 12 usually follows the body of thecontainer ship 11 and deviates. This results in some of thelower retaining members 133 of theretainers 13 being moved out of therespective corner pieces 14, so that some of theshipping containers 12 may shift away from the stack and may even fall off into the sea. - Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a retainer that is capable of overcoming the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art.
- According to this invention, a retainer for securing together upper and lower shipping containers comprises a hollow lower retaining member, an upper retaining member, and at least one swing member. Each of the upper and lower shipping containers is provided with a corner piece that has a hole. The hollow lower retaining member is adapted to be inserted into the hole in the corner piece of the lower shipping container, and has a bottom end. The upper retaining member is connected to the lower retainingmember, is adapted to be inserted into the hole in the corner piece of the upper shipping container, and has a top end aligned with the bottom end along an axial line of the retainer. The swing member is disposed inside the lower retaining member at one side of the axial line, and includes a lower pivot portion connected pivotally to the lower retaining member, and an upper engaging portion extending upwardly from the lower pivot portion. The upper engaging portion is in a non-engaging position when the axial line of the retainer is substantially vertical, and is in an engaging position when the axial line of the retainer is inclined and non-vertical. The upper engaging portion is proximate to the axial line when the upper engaging portion is in the non-engaging position, and moves away from the axial line when the upper engaging portion is in the engaging position.
- Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment of the invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-

Fig. 2 illustrates how the shipping containers ofFig. 1 are secured together using conventional retainers; -
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a retainer according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the preferred embodiment taken along line IV-IV ofFig. 3 ; -
Fig. 5 is a view similar toFig. 4 , but illustrating how two swing members of the preferred embodiment are moved to an engaging position; -
Fig. 6 is a schematic view of the preferred embodiment in a state of use; -
Fig. 7 is a view similar toFig. 6 , but illustrating how the retainer of the present invention secures together corner pieces of upper and lower shipping containers when an axial line of the retainer is inclined and non-vertical; and -
Fig. 8 illustrates how shipping containers are secured in a stack using the retainers of the present invention when a container ship encounters big waves. - Referring to
Fig. 8 , a plurality ofshipping containers 2 are stacked on acontainer ship 9. The stackedcontainers 2 are coupled together by using a plurality ofretainers 100 of the present invention. Each of theretainers 100 is adapted to secure together twocorner pieces 3 of two superimposed upper andlower shipping containers 2. Eachcorner piece 3 has ahole 30. - Referring to
Figs. 3 to 7 , eachretainer 100 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention defines an axial line (X), and is shown to comprise a lower retainingmember 5, anupper retaining member 6, anintermediate member 4, a pair ofswing members 7, and anactuating lever 8. - The
lower retaining member 5 is hollow, and is adapted to be inserted into thehole 30 in thecorner piece 3 of thelower shipping container 2. Thelower retaining member 5 has two spaced-apart sidewalls 51, abottom wall 52 interconnecting bottom ends of thesidewalls 51 and cooperating with thesidewalls 51 to define areceiving space 50, and two blocking members 53 (only one is shown inFig. 5 ), each of which projects into thereceiving space 50 from a respective one of thesidewalls 51 transversely of the axial line (X). - The
upper retaining member 6 is connected to thelower retaining member 5, is adapted to be inserted into thehole 30 in thecorner piece 3 of theupper shipping container 2, and has atop end 62 aligned with abottom end 521 of thelower retaining member 5 along the axial line (X), and anaxial hole 61 extending to thetop end 62. - The
intermediate member 4 is connected between the upper andlower retaining members lower shipping containers 2, and has acentral hole 41 communicating with theaxial hole 61 and thereceiving space 50. - The
swing members 7 are disposed inside thelower retaining member 5 within thereceiving space 50 at two opposite sides of the axial line (X), respectively. Eachswing member 7 includes alower pivot portion 71 connected pivotally to and disposed between thesidewalls 51 and supported by thebottom wall 52, an upperengaging portion 72 extending upwardly from thelower pivot portion 71, and anarm 75 connected to the upperengaging portion 72 and extending transversely to the opposite side of the axial line (X). The upperengaging portion 72 is movable between a non-engaging position, as shown inFigs. 4 and6 , and an engaging position, as shown inFigs. 5 and7 . In the non-engaging position, the upperengaging portions 72 of theswing members 7 extend into thereceiving space 50, so that the upperengaging portions 72 are proximate to the axial line (X), and do not engage thehole 30 in thecorner piece 3 of thelower shipping container 2. In the engaging position, the upperengaging portions 72 of theswing members 7 extend outwardly of thereceiving space 50, so that the upperengaging portions 72 are moved away from the axial line (X), and engage thehole 30 in thecorner piece 3 of thelower shipping container 2. - The
arm 75 of eachswing member 7 has anarm counterweight 751 at the opposite other side of the axial line (X). Each blockingmember 53 limits movement of the upperengaging portion 72 of eachswing member 7 to the opposite side of the axial line (X), thereby placing the upperengaging portion 72 in the non-engaging position. - The actuating
lever 8 is connected pivotally to theintermediate member 4 at a pivot point (A) located on the axial line (X), and has ahead portion 811 extending upwardly from the pivot point (A) into theaxial hole 61 and disposed movably in the upper retainingmember 6, and atail portion 812 extending downwardly from the pivot point (A) into the lower retainingmember 5 between theswing members 7. Thehead portion 811 is hollow, and receives acounterweight ball 82 that is rollable therein. Thetail portion 812 has atransverse rod 8121 disposed between the upperengaging portions 72 of theswing members 7. The actuatinglever 8 is rotatable about the pivot point (A) so as to move thehead portion 811 and thetail portion 812 in opposite directions, and is substantially aligned with the axial line (X) when the axial line (X) is substantially vertical. - Use of a
single retainer 100 will be described hereinafter to simplify the description. With reference toFigs. 6 and8 , the upper retainingmember 6 is inserted into thehole 30 in thecorner piece 3 of theupper shipping container 2, and may be rotated slightly so as to ensure secure positioning within thehole 30. Thelower retaining member 5 is then inserted into thehole 30 in thecorner piece 3 of thelower shipping container 2. Under normal circumstances, i.e., when the axial line (X) of theretainer 100 is substantially vertical, the upperengaging portions 72 of theswing members 7 are in the non-engaging positions, thecounterweight ball 82 is located at the center of thehead portion 811, and thetail portion 812 is located between the upperengaging portions 72 of theswing members 7. In this state, thelower retaining member 5 can be moved in or out of thehole 30 in thecorner piece 3 of thelower shipping container 2 so as to proceed with a stacking or removing operation of theshipping containers 2. - With reference to
Figs. 7 and8 , when the container ship 9 encounters big waves that render the stack of theshipping containers 2 unstable, the axial line (X) of theretainer 100 is moved to incline, and is non-vertical. Consequently, thecounterweight ball 82 of theretainer 100 rolls downward by gravity to one side of thehead portion 811 away from the axial line (X), and thetail portion 812 of the actuating lever 81 moves upward to push the upperengaging portion 72 of one of theswing members 7 away from the axial line (X). The upperengaging portion 72 of theother swing member 7 moves away from the axial line (X) by gravity at the same time, so that the upperengaging portions 72 of theswing members 7 are in the engaging position that engage thehole 30 in thecorner piece 3 of thelower shipping container 2. Hence, the lower retainingmember 5 is prevented from moving out of thehole 30 in thecorner piece 3 of thelower shipping container 2, thereby securing together the upper andlower shipping containers 2. - From the aforementioned description, it is apparent that when the axial line (X) of the
retainer 100 of the present invention is inclined and non-vertical, the upperengaging portions 72 of theswing members 7 can automatically engage thehole 30 in thecorner piece 3 of thelower shipping container 2 , so that relative movement between theshipping containers 2 does not occur.
