Definitions
- the object of the present invention is an adapter for connecting consecutive 20-foot containers to each other on top of the hatch cover of a cargo ship.
- the loading of 20- foot and 40-foot containers one on top of another in the same stack is enabled .
- containers are transported in a hold below hatch covers and also on deck on top of the hatch covers in a number of parallel rows and in a number of tiers one on top of the other.
- On deck are detachable hatch covers, with which the hold below is closed.
- the containers above deck are transported on top of the hatch covers.
- the lowermost container of each container stack is locked onto the hatch cover with twistlocks and containers that are one on top of the other are further locked to each other with twistlocks.
- a typical container arrangement on top of a hatch cover is that each individual stack of containers is composed of either 20-foot or of 40-foot containers.
- 20-foot containers cannot be stacked on top of a 40-foot container, and on the other hand two consecutive stacks of 20-foot containers are situated so far apart from each other that it is possible to work in the space between the container stacks and to connect lashing bars between a container stack and the hatch cover.
- this type of solution it is not possible to stack a 40-foot container on top of two consecutive 20-foot containers.
- the stacks of containers are disposed on top of supports that are rigidly welded to a hatch cover, and that being the case the positioning of the supports determines the locations of the container stacks. It has not been possible to stack 20-foot and 40- included a so-called lashing gangway between consecutive 20-foot containers.
- the purpose of the present invention is to enable the stacking of 40-foot containers onto the same stack as 20-foot containers.
- This is implemented with an adapter according to the invention, the adapter being characterized by what is defined in independent claim 1.
- Preferred embodiments of the adapter according to the invention are defined in the dependent claims.
- the object of the invention is therefore an adapter, which can be connected to existing supports in the center area of a hatch cover at a point in which there is space according to the original container arrangement for connecting the lashing bars of consecutive 20-foot containers.
- the adapter are fastening points, on top of which consecutive 20-foot containers are supported from their corner castings, e.g . by means of twistlocks.
- the fastening points of the adapter are disposed at such a distance from each other that a 40-foot container can be lifted and locked at its corners on top of consecutive 20-foot containers that are on the adapter.
- the adapter is self-supporting, i.e. its strength is so great that the loading exerted on the adapter from the 20-foot containers that are on top of the adapter is transmitted into the supports originally on the hatch cover and into the support structures below the top plating .
- the adapter can be connected in a detachable manner to the existing supports.
- the adapter can also be connected in a fixed manner to the existing supports and/or to the top plating of a hatch cover.
- the adapter according to the invention it is possible to change the distance between two consecutive 20-foot containers or container stacks to be so small that 40-foot containers can be stacked on top of 20-foot containers or container stacks.
- Fig. 1 presents a general view from the deck of a container ship, as viewed from the side, in the case of two stacks of consecutive 20-foot containers.
- Fig. 2 presents a general view from the deck of a container ship, as viewed from the side, in the case of a stack of consecutive 40-foot containers.
- Fig. 3 presents a general view from the deck of a container ship, as viewed from the side, in the case of a container stack composed of 20-foot and 40-foot containers.
- Fig . 4 presents 20-foot containers in their original locations.
- Fig . 5 presents a 40-foot container in its original location.
- Fig . 6 presents the 20-foot containers in their new location by means of the adapter according to the invention.
- Fig . 7 presents two 20-foot containers installed into position on top of an adapter according to the invention.
- Fig . 8 presents the orig inal supports in the center area of the hatch cover.
- Fig . 9 presents an adapter accord ing to the invention installed into position on top of the original supports.
- the hatch cover 1 lies on top of the hatch coaming 2 that is on the deck of a cargo ship.
- a hatch cover 1 functions as the cover of the cargo hold 3 and at the same time it is possible to transport containers 6, 7 on top of the hatch cover.
- a lashing bridge 4 for fastening the lashing bars 5 of containers can also be installed on the coaming 2.
- a hatch cover 20-foot containers 6 and 40-foot containers 7 are generally transported in such a way that in one stack there are only containers of the same length.
- the locations of the containers are determined according to the positioning of the supports 8, 9, 10 (Figs. 4-9) welded onto the hatch cover.
- the supports for 40-foot containers are marked with the reference numbers 8 and 8', the outer supports for a 20-foot container with the reference numbers 9 and 9', and the inner supports for a 20-foot container with the reference numbers 10 and 10'.
- the adapter can be quickly installed into its position, it may be necessary to remove the locking elements 13, 13', which are generally welded on, in the lashing gangway for fastening the lashing bars of the containers.
- the locking elements 13, 13' which are generally welded on, in the lashing gangway for fastening the lashing bars of the containers.
- Locking devices 14, with which the adapter can be quickly and easily connected into its position, are made according to the location of the original supports in the adapter 12.
- the locking device 14 can be a device integrated into the adapter, which is used manually when fastening and detaching the adapter.
- the adapter can be implemented in such a way that a separate device, such as a twistlock, is used as the locking device, which can be manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic in its operation.
- the adapter 12 is self-supporting, i.e. its strength is so great that the loading exerted on the adapter from the 20-foot containers 6 that are on top of the adapter is transmitted into the supports 10, 10' originally on the hatch cover 1 and into the support structures below the top plating. In this case there is no need to weld separate support structures to the hatch cover.
- Fastening points 15, 15' are made in the center area of the adapter at the point of the corner castings of the 20-foot containers. Typically separate twistlocks 16, 16' are installed into these fastening points, into which twistlocks the containers are locked from their corner castings.
- the fastening points 15, 15' of the adapter 12 are situated at such a distance from each other that a 40-foot container 7 can be lifted and locked at its corners onto consecutive 20-foot containers 6 placed on top of the adapter.
- tiers of 20-foot containers 6 are stacked on top of it and on top of these a number of tiers of 40-foot containers 7.
- tiers of 40-foot containers 7 are stacked on top of it and on top of these a number of tiers of 40-foot containers 7.
- weight of the containers also other types of combinations are possible.
- An adapter 12 can be connected to existing supports also by welding or with other mechanical devices than what is presented herein.
- An adapter 12 can be steel or composite or some other sufficiently strong material. It is obvious to the person skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but that it can be varied within the scope of the claims presented below.
