Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a member for locking shipping containers, and, in particular, concerns a member that is configured to be positioned adjacent the doors of the shipping container so as to inhibit opening of these doors and the member is adapted to be held in place as a result of the weight of the shipping container.
  • Shipping containers are large, generally rectangular containers in which cargo is stored for shipping purposes. These containers are typically large rectangular boxes that can be shipped via container ships, rail cars or truck beds. Typically, these containers are shipped short distances via truck and long distances via ships, barges or trains.
  • the shipping container often sits for comparatively long periods of time in dock yards, rail yards or on trains. As these containers are often packed with very valuable merchandise, they have become a target for thieves.
  • the standard shipping container has two overlapping hinge doors at one end.
  • a latch mechanism which latches the hinged doors shut is typically adapted to receive some sort of lock which inhibits unauthorized access and entry into the interior of the shipping container.
  • supplemental locking devices often require the use of additional keys or combinations that must be provided to the recipient upon receipt of the container so as to unlock the container. It will be appreciated that this complicates the use of the container.
  • the supplemental lock member of the present invention which, in one aspect, is comprised of a barrier member with a securing member extending outwardly therefrom.
  • the securing member is adapted to be positioned underneath a surface of the container such that the barrier member is positioned in front of the doors of the container to thereby inhibit opening of the doors.
  • the engagement between the surface of the container secures the supplemental locking member in this position with the barrier member in front of the doors so as to inhibit unauthorized opening and entry into the container. Since the supplemental locking member is secured by the container, no additional keys or combinations are necessary to allow authorized access into the container. Moreover, since the containers are typically very heavy, removal of the supplemental locking device typically requires a fork lift or other mechanical lifting machine. As these devices are generally unavailable to thieves, the locking device successfully inhibits unauthorized entry into containers.
  • the supplemental locking member includes a retaining member that is adapted to be mounted adjacent a container prior to the container being positioned on the securing member.
  • the retaining member allows the supplemental locking member to be mounted on a container while the container is being moved via a lifting machine, such as a fork lift, onto a trailer or onto another container.
  • the retaining member is further adapted so that when the container is positioned onto a flat surface the securing member is positioned underneath the container such that the supplemental locking member is positioned in front of the doors of the container to inhibit the unauthorized opening of the doors.
  • the retaining member is comprised of a cross piece member that is adapted to be positioned underneath the locking poles of the doors of the container to thereby retain the supplemental locking member adjacent the doors of the container.
  • the supplemental locking member is adapted to prevent unauthorized entry into two containers that are stacked on top of each other.
  • the supplemental locking member includes an elongate barrier member with a securing member extending outwardly therefrom positioned between a first and second ends of the elongate barrier member.
  • the securing member is adapted to be positioned between the two containers and engage with the containers such that the engagement with the containers and the weight of the upper container secures the securing member between the lower surface of the upper container and the upper surface of the lower container such that the elongate member is positioned in front of the doors of both the upper container and the lower container.
  • the supplemental locking member of the present invention inhibits unauthorized entry into the containers as a result of the member being positioned in front of the door such that the door can not be fully opened without removal of the supplemental locking member. Since the supplemental locking member is adapted to be secured in position by the container itself, such that the container must be lifted to remove the supplemental locking member, no additional locks, keys or combinations are necessary to inhibit unauthorized entry into the container. Moreover, the supplemental locking member can be easily removed at the shipping destination as, presumably, the shipping destination will have a fork lift or other mechanical lifting machine capable of lifting the container off of the ground such that the locking member can be removed from the container.
  • the supplemental locking member can be secured to the container during shipment but allow for easy removal of the supplemental locking member upon the shipping container arriving at the desired destination.

  • Figure 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating the manner in which the supplementary locking member of Figure 2A is mounted on the shipping container;

  • the doors 104a, 104b are overlapping such that a first door overlaps the second door so that the second door cannot be opened unless the first door is opened previously.
  • 104b typically include elongate latching members 114 secured to the front wall 116 of the door via brackets 120.
  • the elongate latching members 114 preferably engage with openings (not shown) formed in the upper surface 106 and the lower surface 110 of the container such that the elongate latching members 114 can engage with the latch and hold the hinged doors 104a, 104b in a closed positioned.
  • Each of the elongate latching members 114 is attached to a latch 122 that can be used to rotate and manipulate the elongate latching member 114 so as to latch and unlatch the elongate latching member 114 to thereby secure the doors in a weii known manner.
