    摘要: A truss structure includes upper and lower beams with vertical interconnecting beams on which cargo of any type may be suspended. The truss structure is adapted to be supported on horizontally spaced wheel suspensions, such as is common in overthe-highway vehicles, or it may be disposed in and be connected to structural components in aircraft wherein the truss structure supports the cargo and provides a primary structural component of both modes of transportation. In a railway car a relatively narrow upright truss structure is supported at its opposite ends on trucks. The truss structure is provided at opposite ends with short sill sections which contain coupler housings supporting conventional couplers. At opposite ends of the truss structure horizontal stabilizing members extend laterally outwardly of the truss structure and are adapted to be connected to conventional single or double axle trucks in conventional fashion. The narrow truss structure is the sole structural support of the car and provides on opposite sides thereof, between the trucks, a free and unencumbered space to which ready access may be had by suitable powered handling devices which may lift cargo into position to be connected and suspended on opposite sides from said truss structure. A modified embodiment comprises a railway car which includes a pair of truss sections which have outer ends supported on single axle trucks, and adjacent inner ends supported on double axle trucks by means of an articulated connector assembly.

    摘要: A cargo handling and transportation system includes a truss type of frame on which vehicles are suspended upon leaving the manufacturer''s assembly line. The frame is connected to a longitudinal beam which moves in a track and transports the vehicles from the factory to a means of ground or highway transportation. In loading a railway car, the truss and vehicles thereon are removed from the longitudinal beam by a crane and are lowered through the open roof of the car into connecting relation with brackets disposed within the car so that the frame and cargo are ready for shipment. Similarly, the truss frames may be removed from the highway trailers or railway cars by lift mechanisms which shift the frames into aircraft or into holds of ships for further transportation. The longitudinal beams are movable in tracks below the ground, and may be removably connected to the lower ends of the truss to be transported therewith so that they may be guided in suitable track members in a ramp loading arrangement, such as may be desired for loading aircraft. The frames also may be stored within the hull of a ship or airplane fuselage in similar tracks which are engaged by the longitudinal beams removably connected to the lower ends of the truss frame.
