A container locking device on a vehicle, for locking a container having a corner fitting to be transported on a loading surface of the vehicle, the device including a lock housing (1), a locking bolt (2) and a first drive (3). The locking bolt (2) has a shaft (20) and a locking head (21) which, in the unlocked state, can be introduced via an opening in the corner fitting of the container and, in the locked state, secures the container via projections engaging behind the opening in the corner fitting. The lock housing (1) with the locking bolt (2) can be lowered and raised again by means of a lever mechanism (7) from a locking position, in which the locking head (21) projects sufficiently above the loading surface for locking with the corner fitting of the container, into a rest position, in which the locking head (21) does not project above the loading surface. The first drive (3) is operatively connected solely to the locking bolt (2), and a second drive (6) is operatively connected to the lever mechanism (7).

A container locking device on a vehicle (F), for locking a container to be transported on a loading surface of the vehicle and having a corner fitting, comprising a lock housing (1), a locking bolt (2) and a drive (3), said locking bolt (2) having a shaft (20) and a locking head (21) which, in the unlocked state, can be introduced via an opening in the corner fitting of the container and, in the locked state, secures the container via projections engaging behind the opening in the corner fitting, the locking bolt (2) with its shaft (20) being mounted so as to be both axially movable in the lock housing (1) and also rotatable about its axis. A wedge slide (4) is mounted in the lock housing (1) so as to be movable to and fro laterally, that is to say perpendicularly to the axis of the locking bolt (2), and can be driven by the drive (3), and the wedge slide (4) has a lead-in slope which engages with the locking bolt (2) during the lateral movement of the wedge slide (4) and allows the locking bolt (2) an axial movement and a rotary movement about 90?, a horizontal lock bolt (7) being mounted in the lock housing (1) so as to be axially and horizontal movable. The invention also relates to a container locking method for said container locking device.

A pallet adapter, system and method for restraining air cargo during flight are disclosed. A pallet adapter shifts a shipping container in an inboard direction of an aircraft so that the container does not contact an interior structure of the aircraft. Rigid restraints restrain the container from moving in the vertical direction during flight. Corner fittings restrain the container from moving in the fore-and-aft direction and the side-to-side direction during flight.

A container-securing device is provided. A main body of the container-securing device is detachably/attachably supported on a cargo bed yet movement of the main body is restricted in any direction within the horizontal plane. The container-securing device 1 includes a socket 3 which is fixed onto the cargo bed; and a main body 2 which is fixed into the socket 3 to fix a container: The main body 2 has its lower region formed with projections 22b extending horizontally; and the socket 3 has a storage space 31 to store the projections 22b, a first restrictor 32 around the storage space 31 which allows rotation of the projections 22b within a horizontal plane but restricts other movement thereof in any direction within the horizontal plane, an opening 33 which communicates with the storage space 31 and allows the projections 22b to be inserted through, and a second restrictor 34 around the opening 33 which restricts movement of the projections 22b in the vertical direction.

The present invention relates to a multifunctional locking device for a container of a trailer, in which a lock is operated by the weight of the container, whereby it is possible to automatically or manually lock the container to the trailer, and it is possible to prevent movement and disengagement of the container due to the increased fixing force of the container during trailer operation, thereby improving stability.

A lock for securing a container includes a lock platform, a coupler including a portion that is disposed above the lock platform, an interaction member associated with the coupler, and a linkage mechanism including an actuation device and an actuation surface. The actuation surface is curved or sloped. In addition, movement of the actuation device causes movement of the interaction member along the actuation surface in a first direction such that the coupler automatically secures the container to the lock.

An intermodal container mobilizer that includes a tow vehicle and forward and aft intermodal shipping container attachments. The forward container attachment is carried by the tow vehicle and connects to one end of an intermodal container. The aft container attachment is wheeled and connects to an opposite end of the intermodal container. The forward and aft attachments, together with the tow vehicle, support the intermodal container for rolling transport across a flat surface.

The present invention provides a locking apparatus of a container for a trailer that can fixing a container by automatically or manually coupling the container to a trailer, using a locking pin that is operated by the weight of a container, and can improve stability by preventing movement and separation of a container from a trailer in transportation. The locking apparatus includes: an outer housing; an inner housing; an automatic actuator; a locking pin having a cylindrical body, a head, a first locking protrusion, and a guiding portion; a guide member; and a manual actuator having an extension, a length adjusting portion, and a lever.
