Coupling means to be used for lashing and supporting containers, more particularly containers to be transported on cargo ships, which coupling means comprises a lashing bar (2) and a locking head (1) connected to it, which locking head comprises a locking means for locking into the corner casting (7)of a container, and between which locking head (1) and lashing bar (2) is a joint arrangement, which enables movement of the lashing bar in relation to the locking head towards the corner casting and away from the corner casting. The invention is implemented such that when the locking head (1) is locked into the corner casting (7) of a container at least a part of the joint arrangement is above the horizontal plane (L) traveling via the centre of curvature of the bottom edge of the locking hole of the corner casting. |
