Abstract: A freight container includes a cylindrical tank disposed within an outer frame. The tank is connected to the corner regions of the frame by means of eight saddle pieces which have curved borders welded to tensioning rings surrounding the tank near the ends thereof. Each tensioning ring is composed in the peripheral direction of the tank of two sections clamped together by tensioning screws and locked in both axial directions of the tank by a plurality of sheet metal pieces welded to the tank shell on both sides of each tensioning ring. The tank may be detached from the frame by loosening the tensioning screws whereupon the tensioning rings may be raised over the sheet metal pieces in axially moving the frame relatively to the tank. In assembling the freight container, the metal pieces are welded to the tank in the final manufacturing step after the tank and the frame have been positioned relatively to each other with the required dimensional accuracy.

Abstract translation: 货物集装箱包括设置在外框架内的圆筒形容器。 油箱通过八个鞍形件连接到框架的拐角区域，这些鞍形件具有焊接到靠近其端部的罐周围的张紧环的弯曲边界。 每个张紧环通过张紧螺钉夹在一起的两个部分的箱体的周向方向组成，并且通过焊接在每个张紧环的两侧上的罐壳体上的多个金属片夹在箱的两个轴向上。 通过松开张紧螺钉，罐可以从框架脱离，因此张紧环可以相对于罐轴向移动框架而升高在金属片上。 在组装货物集装箱时，在罐和框架相对于所需的尺寸精度相对定位之后，在最终制造步骤中将金属片焊接到罐。

Abstract: A freight container for flowable substances comprising a fully closed vessel formed at least partly of cylindrical sheet metal, two rectangular end frames interconnected by corner fittings for lifting and stacking the freight container and saddle members connected to the vessel and respective frame members. According to preferred embodiments, the saddle members are formed of sheet sections of an arched area and planar triangular surfaces adjacent opposite lateral edges of the arched area, each of the saddle members being interposed between an adjacent corner of the end frames and the vessel. The arched area has a conical surface having an apex located near an associated corner of the end frames and an arcuate base edge curved to conform with the wall of the vessel. Each of the triangular surfaces has an axial outer edge beginning near the apex of the conical surface and extending outwardly therefrom and being connected to an adjacent one of the members of the end frames. The saddle members support the tank in a manner so as to accept loads in horizontal, vertical, axial and radial directions.

Abstract: The bottom structure of small and medium size tank containers includes a pair of longitudinal fork lift channels and a pair of tranverse fork lift channels extending perpendicularly of the longitudinal channels. The transverse channels are defined by gaps between portions of profile bars forming the longitudinal channels. The profile bar portions are equipped with bottom plates which have openings for engagement by locking members provided on the loading platforms of vehicles. Locking plates are further provided at the bottoms of end frames of the tank container, each locking plate having a plurality of further openings for engagement by locking members as commonly provided on road and railway vehicles for ISO containers. A portion of an upper transverse bar of each end frame is formed as a grappler arm pocket provided with an upper guide plate. An upper portion of the guide plate forms an eye reinforced by a transverse member for engagement by a crane hook.

Abstract: A symmetrical latching plate, which includes a central latching portion having a recess and two lateral hook portions, is used for mutually coupling two back-to-back containers and for simultaneously locking the same to a common twistlock. In the latching position, in which the latching plate extends in parallel to a loading surface accommodating the containers, the twistlock engages in the recess, and the hook portions engage behind web portions respectively provided on either container. In a vertical position, which is pivoted by 90.degree. relative to the latching position, the latching plate can be withdrawn along a bottom framework member of at least one of the containers.

Abstract: A tank container suitable especially for smaller tank volumes comprises two triangular end frameworks (10) each composed of two equal-length legs (11) and a bottom transverse beam (12). The tank (15) can be joined to the framework structures (10) directly via end mounting structures (16) so that a framework base structure can be omitted. The apex of each end framework structure (10) is provided with a fitting (14) for engagement by hoisting equipment. In this way a light-weight framework is obtained. At the same time, it is possible to couple the tank container to the respective hoisting equipment at only two points without any risk of tilting during lifting.

Abstract: A longitudinally adjustable rod coupling 1, especially for connecting rod fittings for windows, doors, or the like, in which one connecting rod has a U-shaped coupling shoe with fine teeth at the insides of its legs. The other connecting rod is equipped on two narrow sides with a complementary fine teeth which can engage in the fine teeth of the shoe. The cross-section of the connecting rod is reduced in thickness in the region of the coupling shoe and correspondingly enlarged in width. The fine teeth have their profiles extending transversely over the total width of the portion of the connecting rod, section that is reduced in thickness. The lateral wings of the said connecting rod section that is reduced in thickness, which wings project beyond the width of the normal connecting rod cross-section, are bent approximately 90.degree. to the plane of the connecting rods and form the legs of the coupling shoe.

Abstract: A container is locked by use of a locking plate (15) which engages a fork-lift opening (12) formed in a lower container frame member (10) and which has a portion (15a) projecting from said opening (12) and formed with a hole (18) for engagement with a twistlock (19). The opening (12) is disposed at an intermediate position of the frame member (10) between the ends thereof, so that the container is secured against tilting about its front and rear edges. The configurations of opening (12) and locking plate (15) are matched to each other such that the container is also locked against transverse movement.
