TAG MOUNTING DEVICE USED FOR LOCATING SHIPPING CONTAINERS AND TRUCK TRAILERS

摘要

A tag mounting device (10) can temporarily mount a tag transmitter on a shipping container (12) or trailer for tracking location of the shipping container or trailer. The tag mounting device includes a mounting frame (14) having a support leg (16) with opposing ends. A clamp mechanism (18) is carried by the support leg for clamping the support leg onto a rim (20) of a container or trailer such that the support leg extends against a surface of the container or trailer. A tag support member extends outward from the support leg. A tag transmitter (34) is carried by the tag support member (32) and operative for transmitting wireless signals to at least one receiver for subsequent processing to determine the location of the tag transmitter and a container or trailer on which the tag mounting device is mounted.
