1,199,182. Stud and socket fastenings. STRICK CORP. 13 Oct., 1967 [21 Feb., 1967], No. 46904/67. Heading E2B. A corner fitting for a cargo container 10 comprises a member 26 having a central cavity 76, a lower horizontal wall 68 with a slot 88 herethrough communicating with the cavity and a vertical end wall 74 including an elongated opening 90 therethrough communicating with the cavity, the end of the slot 88 nearest the end-wall being spaced a predetermined distance from the outer face of the end wall the thickness of which exceeds that distance and the inner surface of which includes cutouts 118, 120 so that a head 112 of a vertical coupler approximating the dimensions of the slot 88 can enter therethrough and be rotated to traverse the slot in the coupling position. As shown, the container is adapted to be releasably attached to a wheeled adaptor frame (30), (32) Fig. 1 (not shown) and of known construction which carries the vertical coupler heads 112 and to which a bogie (44) can be releasably coupled. The opening 90 of the member 26 includes an inwardly tapered throat 94 and portions 98 which merge into an elongated slot 100 communicating with the cavity 76, and allows containers to be coupled end to end by means of coupling members (126), Fig. 9 (not shown) of known construction, in which each coupler is inserted through the opening 90, and a reduced portion (130) of the coupler is seated in a socket 124 of the member 26, whereafter the member 26 of the other container is engaged over a head (132) of the coupler which`is then rotated to engage the heads (128) and (132) across slots 100. |
