Electronic bolt for cargo containers
An electronic bolt seal assembly for locking a hasp of a cargo container, the assembly comprising: a bolt member comprising a head and an elongate shank extending therefrom; a locking body with a housing comprising a cavity for engaging the shank of the bolt member such that during use in a locking configuration the locking body is operable to lock the shank to the locking body in response to axial displacement of the shank within the housing; an electronic module arranged at or adjacent the head in a housing, the electronic module having one or more tracking and communication devices and an electronic circuit to communicate the electronic bolt seal assembly's location to a remote communication center wherein the one or more sensors further comprise an accelerometer for sensing movement and orientation of the bolt member.

Door for separating two environments with different pressures
A door that is adapted to separating two environments with different pressures and to an aircraft with such a door. The door may include a door leaf, a door frame having a door stop and a roller, and an actuating system having a latch element and an inward-moving drive system. The inward-moving drive system may include a puller shaft and a puller that is non-rotatably attached to the puller shaft. The puller may include a guide rail that moves along the roller during a rotation of the puller such that the puller moves the door leaf in direction of the first environment thereby disengaging the latch element from the door stop.

Secured equipment carrier holding device and rail vehicle with an equipment carrier holding device
An equipment carrier holding device has a housing with a door. A screwing block is arranged in the housing. A clamping block and a fastening screw fix a fastening link of an item of equipment between the clamping block and the screwing block. The clamping block is positioned in relation to the door such that, in the event of incomplete arresting of the fastening screw, the fastening screw forms a mechanical barrier to complete closing of the door. A rail vehicle is also described which is equipped with such an equipment carrier holding device.
AUTOMATIC HATCH COVER FOR A CONTAINER AND METHODS OF OPERATION THEREOF
The present invention provides a system for automatic operation of a top hatch cover for a container, comprising a hatch cover, a cylinder mount, a main operating lever, a connecting link, and a hatch locking lever. The cylinder mount is configured for pivotally connecting a piston to the container. A lower portion of the main operating lever is connected to a cylinder rod of an air cylinder. A first extension of the connecting link is rotatably connected to an upper portion of the main operating lever and a second extension of the connecting link is coupled to the hatch cover. The main operating lever and the hatch locking lever are rotatably coupled to a main shaft mount, where the hatch locking lever is configured to pivot around the main shaft mount to move between a locked position and an unlocked position.

Adjustable hatch cover locks
A hatch lock cover includes inner and outer flanges, with a keeper and a handle positioned between the flanges. The handle is rotatable with respect to the flanges to move a batten bar contacting surface into and out of engagement with a batten bar or a hatch cover tab of a hatch cover. A downwardly extending portion of an arm of the keeper may define an aperture and/or include a projection for securing an adjustment plate or extension piece to the arm to provide an alternative batten bar contacting surface. Alternatively, a mounting bracket may be provided to secure the hatch cover lock to a railcar, with the mounting bracket accommodating the hatch cover lock in different positions having different elevations. Such configurations allow the hatch cover lock to be adjusted for use with a batten bar or hatch cover tab having a gasket that has become worn out.
