More awkwardly, the connecting device is a fully automatic twist lock. This prevents the connecting device from rotating by the locking portion of the locking mechanism. In order to prevent the possibility of the expected and special movement, the locking member is placed in the relative displacement of the locking member after the undesired movement of the first engaging portion. This feature may, for example, be in April

The common improvement of containers. The invention is described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The word hunting is described in more detail by the example of the shell and the tea. For example, the connecting device including the outer casing 25 is shown in Fig. 2b and Fig. 3b. The outer casing 25 includes the at least part of the outer casing 25 to form the first... Tooth. The engaging member 42' of the knife 2, the engaging portion 2, is intended to assist in holding the connecting device 1 in the first corner fitting % of the first container 27 (shown in the drawing). It can be seen in Figure 1 that the second merging portion 3 for holding the connectors in the music cabinet corner fittings 28 of the second container 29 is disposed relative to the outer casing 25 at substantially opposite ends of the connecting device. The second engaging portion 3 is disposed at an end of the outer casing 25 of the connecting device 1 which extends at the @axis 3〇. The shaft 3 is provided with a spring 31 which acts to bring the second engaging portion 3 into the neutral position when no external force acts on the second engaging portion 3. When the two containers are tightened together, the first engaging portion 2 is usually first inserted into the first corner fitting 26 below the first container 27. Typically, a connecting device is inserted into the four lower corner fittings of the container. After the first merging portion 2 of the device has been held in the first corner fitting 26, the first knowing cabinet 27 is usually followed by, for example, a crane The first container 2 9 is moved downward to lower the second engaging portion 3 into the second corner fitting 28 above the second container 29. When the two engaging portions: 2:3 are fastened in the respective corner fittings 26, 28, the first container ": the second container 29 (shown in the figure) is now tightened together.

f In this embodiment, the connecting device is a so-called "automatic twist lock", the first tooth. The minute 3 is rotated during insertion and release of the cabinet fitting 28 of the second container 29 of the connecting device. In contrast to the insertion of the second engaging portion 3 into the corner fitting 28, when released, the second engaging portion 3 is rotated in the opposite direction. The required rotational movement of the second engaging portion 3 for insertion and release in this embodiment is about 90 in the neutral position of the second engaging portion 3 in two directions, and the neutral position of the second engaging portion is The position at which the second engaging portion is used when the external force acts on the second engaging portion. In the neutral position, the second merging portion 3 cannot be removed from the cabinet corner fitting 28 without changing the position of the second merging portion 3. The guiding portion 45 of the second merging portion 3 may be provided with an eccentric portion of the cam portion cam 50 having an extension direction substantially the same as the eccentricity of the guiding portion 45 with respect to the axis 47 of the shaft 3 (). The helical flange of the lead portion 45 can be described as a double-acting twisted cone, which is in the rotational axis of the first engaging portion 3 rather than a symmetric orientation. The double-acting twisted cone drives the second spray portion 3 in an automatic state to rotate during the ringing and release of the corner fittings, wherein the vertical movement of the connector! is partially converted into a 35-part portion. 3 forced rotation. Eccentricity 120267.doc -17- 200815257 and cam 50 cooperate during the unloading of the container to force the cargo sand to move in the lateral direction. On the other hand, since the rotation system is in the opposite direction, the period cam 5G and the eccentric twist cone function in different ways. The connecting device 1 may further comprise a section 4 disposed between the two merging portions 2, 3. This section 4 is configured in use to be located between the two stacked containers 27, 29 and thus creates a space between the two containers. There is also a ramp 53 which is provided at the lower portion of the section 4 to permit the connector to move up and sideways during unloading in the automatic state. The first merging part 2 of the connecting device according to the present invention is usually worn by the first container to be loaded during the period of the _ on the top of the other goods (which can be seen in the figure). 27 of the four lower cabinet corner fittings in the hole. The outer casing 25 and the spray member 42 are designed to allow the attachment to be securely retained in the corner fitting 26. The crane or other lifting device lifts the first container 27 above the second container 29 and the first container 27 is lowered straight down to the second container during the lowering of the second cabinet 27, due to the edge of the hole second The contact 'between the rotational guiding paths of the engaging portions 3' is viewed from the lower side, and the second merging portion 3 connected to m will rotate clockwise. The guiding portion 4T5 will perform rotation and longitudinal movement. This is due to the fact that the core 46 of the guiding portion 45 is eccentrically positioned from the axis of rotation 47 of the shaft 30. Since the guiding portion is constantly moving in the direction of the circular expansion, the first container can be vertically straight during the merging between the second merging portion 3 and the hole of the upper cabinet corner fitting 28 of the second container 29. Down to the second container. When the "container is lowered from this position, the second engaging portion 3 will start to rotate due to the pitch of the guiding surface to be guided at the hole. 120267.doc -18- 200815257 The connection between the two containers During the final phase (when the guiding portion 45 of the second engaging portion 3 has fully entered the corner fitting), the spring 3 turns the second engaging portion 3 back to the neutral position and thus locks the first container and the second container Together, this is because the guiding portion 45 is eccentrically positioned, and because the guiding portion 45 has a horizontal elliptical shape in the horizontal cross section - it cannot directly pass through the oblong shape of the elliptical hole of the (4) fitting. Due to the described automatic state, the loading and joining of the two containers to each other can be performed fully automatically. It is possible to use the combination of the surface of the cam 50 and the surface of the spiral 51 as a means for horizontally opposing the corner of the cabinet. The piece guides the merging part to be flat on the guiding path. If the knife is unintentionally opened, the cam 5() which is in contact with the longer side of the aperture will be used for further steps. Rotate the guide path to prevent In this case, during the unloading period, in the automatic state, the lifting device is used to lift the first container 27 from the second container 29. During the first container and four connections, the second guide of the guiding portion 45 The pitch of the surface will cause the second spray part 3 to rotate counterclockwise when viewed from below. When the first-fitted part rotates, the translation path of the cam 5〇 will interact with the longer side of the hole. 25. The eccentric positioning due to the guiding portion C will force the outer casing 25 and the first container 27 to move in the direction of the shorter side of the flat light with a horizontal component during unloading. The cabinet 1 is used by the second part And connected to the first (four) (four) accessories 26 towels, so the connection is set to 2 cabinets. All four connections will cry, and the labor will rise and move sideways, and it will wait for I20267.doc 19- 200815257 Mutual (if necessary). = During the release period of the connector ' 'in the automatic state', the pitch of the surface 49 will vertically drive the rotation of the second accommodating portion 3 of the moving material, and this The drive rotation is used by the geometry of the guiding portion 45. The outer casing 25 is forced by a horizontal component on the 'one έΐΡ έΐΡ 、, / \ Τ / 。. t release the first container and the fourth portion 3 of the connector 脱离 is disengaged from the hole of the corner fitting, the spring 31 will Rotating the second merging portion back to the neutral position. The neutral rotating position is achieved by the spring 31 acting on the shaft 3GJ1, and the yellowing 31 makes the second indwelling portion 3 from the neutral position in both the clockwise direction and the counterclockwise direction. The rotated position returns to the neutral position. As is understood from Fig. i, in the outer casing 25, the washer 5 (movable portion knife) is rotatably disposed relative to the upper portion 8 of the shaft 3 。. $ includes an engaging member or a locking tooth 22 and a locking device 6 is disposed in the housing 〇. In this embodiment, the locking device 6 including a locking lug 23 is fixedly disposed relative to the outer casing 25 of the connecting device. In this embodiment, the locking lug 23 is fabricated as an integral part of the outer casing 25. The locking lugs 23 and the locking teeth 22 of the washers are positioned in the same central plane, wherein the central plane extends in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shaft portion. The configuration is such that the locking teeth 22 of the washer $ can be sprayed with the locking lugs 23 of the locking device 6. The engaging portion 8 of the shaft 30 has a shape similar to that of the hole when viewed in plan view, that is, a substantially circular portion 13 and a substantially opposite side extending from the upper engaging portion 8 of the shaft 3〇. The slender part 丨8. The gasket $ is configured with a hole or through hole 12 having a circular portion 14 corresponding to the circular portion 13 of the shaft portion 8 having 120267.doc -20-200815257. This means that the spoon-shaped portions (13 and 18) of the shaft portion 8 can extend into the apertures in such a manner that the circular portion 14 of the aperture is filled by the circular portion 13 of the engagement portion 8 to provide the axis of rotation 2 i of the washer 5, The rotation axis 21 of the locking tooth 22 (which is eccentric with respect to the axis 43 of the vehicle 3) is thus provided, and thus the axis of rotation 21 of the engagement portion 8 is provided. The portion 18 of the engaging portion 8 is designed in a slightly elongated manner and extends into the aperture portion 丨5, and the aperture portion 15 extends from the circular portion 13. The portion 18 only fills the bulge half of the portion of the aperture 12 (when viewed in the axial direction of the gasket 5) and provides a limited angular movement of the gasket 5. The gasket 5 has a weight which gives the gasket 5 a certain inertia against movement. Thereby, the gasket 5 acts as an inertial component. The spring member 1〇 is disposed relative to the washer $ and the engaging portion or the shaft 30) in such a manner that the washer 5 and the shaft 3〇 are rotated together, as long as the force acting on the shaft 3G is not sudden or strong so that the external force overcomes the washer/inertia The spring force of the component 5 and the shaft portion 8 held in their initial relative positions. The invention will now be described in terms of functionality. As can be seen in Figures 2c, when the connecting device is disposed in the pivot fitting, no external force acts on the connecting device, the elongated portion 18 abuts against the side wall 19 of the aperture 15 due to the influence of the spring member 1〇.疋 position. In this state, the locking teeth are not engaged with the locking lugs u. Therefore, when the shaft 30 rotates, the washer 5 freely rotates with the shaft 30. If the shaft 30 is rotated in a sufficiently slow manner (i.e., without moving beyond the spring force (or rotational acceleration) that holds the elongated portion 18 toward the side wall 19, the loop 5 will rotate with the shaft 3〇. Therefore, it is possible to achieve the insertion of the toothed portion 3 into the corner fitting 28 and the shaft 30 and the second engaging portion 3 of the fitting angle portion 3 in Fig. 3a to Fig. 3c. Rotate in Figure 2d and Figure 2e φ s . (10) Zhongzhan does not add another #连接 When the sudden force is struck, the sudden force causes the second two to be expected to rotate, and the sudden force also causes the shaft to turn. If the grass exceeds the grass during the movement, ##^疋转, a certain limit of rotational acceleration, the washer 5 will be attributed to

Its inertia is delayed by a certain _rotation angle with respect to the axis 3〇, and the spring teacher stretches. When the washer 5 is rotated thereafter, it will rotate about its axis 21, and the loop 5 is now rotated by the shaft 30 and the upper joint portion 8 (called around the axis, relative to the wheel, the movable portion, the movable portion) The locking teeth 22 of 5 will undergo linear movement and a shorter rotational displacement (the movements are a combination of two circumferential movements (around the axes 21 and 43)) and the locking teeth "contact the locking lugs 23, which results in the connection device 1 Immediate locking of the shaft 30 and prevention of the engaging portion 2

Shown to remove the second turn of the second piece 28. Progress is relatively mobile. The elongated portion 18 of the engaging portion 8 is positioned against the side wall 2 of the aperture 12 in this locked position. When the force acting on the second engaging portion 3 is released, the spring 3 1 acting on the shaft 3 will return the shaft 30 to its neutral position. Therefore, the engaging portion 8 will rotate and the rotational axis 21 of the washer 5 will be positioned at a new relative position with respect to the engaging portion 8. The washer 5 will rotate relative to the engaging portion 8 under the influence of the spring member 10, which stops the locking and returns the locking tooth 22 to a position where the locking tooth 22 does not abut the locking lug 23. 4 to 6f disclose a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, similar features as in the previous embodiment have been indicated by like numerals. According to 120267.doc -22- 200815257, only the connecting device of the % example also comprises a washer 5 having an elongated portion 18 and a circular trowel 13 upper engaging portion 8 and having a hole 12 (movable) And the yellow member is 1 弹. Further, the connecting device according to this embodiment also packs 5 a movable unit 24 which is disposed in the casing 25 of the connecting device 1. The movable unit 24 is linearly movable within the outer casing 25. Further, the shaft 3A includes a butt portion u disposed below the upper joint portion 8. The movable unit 24 includes a recess 32 that is positioned such that the docking portion and thus the shaft 30 is rotatable for inserting the second engaging portion 3 of the connecting device 1 into the movable unit when no external force is applied to the movable unit The corner fitting 28 and the amount required to remove it from the corner fitting 28 are required. The movable unit 24 is further provided with a lip 33. 5d to 5g, according to the previously described embodiment, when the sudden force acts on the shaft 30 and the shaft 3〇 is rotated at an acceleration exceeding a certain limit rotational acceleration, the washer 5 and its lock The teeth 22 will be displaced radially relative to the shaft 3〇. However, in this embodiment, the locking teeth 22 will abut the lip Μ and move the movable unit μ linearly after the further rotation of the shaft 30. The recess 32 of the movable unit 24 will then change its position and the abutment portion 11 of the shaft 3 will abut the movable unit after further rotation of the shaft 30. Therefore, the shaft 30 will be prevented from moving so that the shaft 3〇 will not be able to rotate for the amount required to insert or remove the second engaging portion 3 into the corner fitting 28 from the corner fitting 28. Also according to the previous embodiment, when the expected rotation of the shaft 3G occurs, it can be performed by the acceleration that the washer 5 is not displaced relative to the shaft portion 8. Thus, as shown in Figures 6a-6f, the locking teeth 22 do not engage the lip 33 and the movable unit 24 does not shift under the expected movement. Although the present invention has been described in connection with the specific embodiments of the present invention, it is to be understood that various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Change and adjust. The interface file 8 and the washer 5 and their associated engagement members can provide a limited angular movement of the abutment member about the eccentric axis. Alternatively, the 0 engagement member does not need to have a rotatable movement. The movement can also be a linear axial or radial displacement movement, which occurs in the first container and the second cargo

Unexpected relative movement of the cabinet (the first and second spitting portions) causes the engagement member to engage the locking device. A connection device i having a housing has been described. However, it is not a must-have design, and if an outer casing is present, the outer casing can be shaped by a number of alternatives. It is possible that the outer casing may not be present because the first engaging portion 2 may have a shape similar to that of the second salivating portion 3. If there is no external I, the locking member can be configured with the same parts and functionalities as described above, but configured to connect to separate units in the device. The merging member and the cymbal device 6 have been described as 敎(4) and locking lugs 23, respectively. However, the engaging member a of the locking device 6 or the washer 5 can dry the projection or other portion, and the present invention can be described by self-connecting the device. However, it is also possible to utilize the present invention in the case of a semi-moving connection-injury, in which the state of the spray portion of the present unlocking is changed. Non-manual 120267.doc -24- 2ϋϋΗ15257 Furthermore, according to the connection of the invention, between the part and the second object: Pair: for manual prevention of the first longitudinal member can have many different configurations, but member. Exceeding the first ',' of the certain - extreme rotational acceleration prevents the relative movement between them. Move = divide with second. The toothed part can be used in a row of elevators =: prevent it can be used, for example, in so-called string containers. ::::= For the part of the toothed part (4), the risk of shock-free, due to the knife, and the younger one. The toothed portion also prevents movement caused by the impact. Manually guarding the line for arranging the operating member, and attaching the core to the second joint; for (4) to the shaft 3, the two joints may be connected to each other. The wire can be positioned outside of the outer casing 25 by the end joints that are attached to the wire by the mutual engagement. The interconnection of (4) ^ ^ at the part allows the operating mechanism to extend through the first opening, and the == is in its fully automatic state. However, if the operator changes the position of the manipulating member such that the wire extends through the second opening, the second opportunistic portion 3 will be forced to rotate clockwise (from below) due to the engagement between the wire and the shaft 3〇. This forced rotation can, for example, cause the connecting device to guide or contact the two substantially water surfaces toward the surface of the elliptical aperture surrounding the corner fitting 28 of the second armature 29. Because if the force acts on any of the goods, or any of the connected devices, the guiding path of the connecting device in this position does not contact the cabinet angle 28 or the cabinet corner (4), so The fully automatic state of the connected device 1 is disabled. Therefore, in the case of not going to the corner fitting 120267.doc -25-200815257:8: the two-parting part 3 of the combination, the connecting device 1 is now positioned in a lock-like manner and it is possible to lift two mutually joined containers, Even if there is a prescribed movement for the de-spray connection device 1. The connected device can also be set back to a fully active state by operating the operating member back to the first opening provided in section 4. ~ Another way to establish this manual lock is to provide a lever that is configured to block the movement of the loop 5 when a manual lock is required. This can be achieved by a crossbar extending from the section of the outer casing so that the operator can manipulate it. The adapter can cause the other end of the lever to squat at the recess or protrusion (4) of the washer 5 after the operator's manipulation and thereby block the movement of the loop. * When the shaft 30 rotates, the washer 5 will not engage with the joint. The portion 8 rotates together and will establish a lock for the second engagement portion. A third way to provide manual tampering is to provide a spur of the movable unit in the second embodiment described above. This protruding tab can protrude from the outside of the peripheral and acts as an directional member. Due to the design of the outer casing, it is possible to insert the first toothed portion 2 into the corner fitting in two alternative orientations. The connecting device 1 rotates between two alternative orientations. In the first orientation, the nose is then positioned against one of the side openings 4, 4, of the corner fitting 26, and the nose can thus protrude through the side opening. When connecting devices! When t is placed in this position, the recess 32 of the movable unit 24 can be positioned such that the docking portion of = 30: the insertion and removal of the portion 3 is sufficient to rotate without abutment with the movable unit. Therefore, the function of the connected device 1 will be fully automatic in the case where the connection device 1 is placed in this position. Initial 120267.doc * 26 - 200815257 However, if the insertion of $筮^田 into the cabinet corner fitting 26 is _, the protruding nose does not protrude through the opening and closing of the m & j opening The protruding protrusion will be the side wall of the corner fitting 26 of the cabinet. The neighboring state presses u as the dog's nose. Now the cabinet corner is adjacent to the cabinet corner. Therefore, the movable unit 24 is forced to linearly shift. The linear displacement system positions the docking portion of the movable unit 24 adjacent to (4). When the second spouting portion 3 is rotated, as when the second engaging portion is removed from its (four) fitting 28, the butt portion u of the shaft 3G will be associated with the movable single

The docking portions of the elements 24 are contiguous. Therefore, the further rotation of the shaft 30 will be prevented and thus the further rotation of the second engaging portion 3 will be prevented.
