Embodiment Construction

[0033] The present invention discloses systems and methods for improving the collapsibility of shipping containers. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for improving the manner in which container walls are folded and erected. Discussion of the present invention refers to and pertains to Figure 3-16 .

[0034] now refer to image 3 , the collapsible container 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in its upright, erect configuration, while Figure 4 The container 100 is shown in its collapsed state. The container 100 includes a bottom deck 102 , a top deck 104 spaced a distance from the bottom deck 102 , the top deck 104 being substantially parallel to the bottom deck 102 . A pair of opposing and parallel side walls 106 extend between the bottom plate 102 and the top plate 104 , wherein the side walls 106 are rotatably coupled to the bottom plate 102 along bottom edges 108 of the side walls 106 . ...

Abstract

The present invention discloses a novel apparatus and way to aid in the folding of a shipping container. One or more spring assemblies are provided to control the load applied during the folding process by applying a torque to a series of torsion springs and bar extending along at least a portion of the length of the container sidewall.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to shipping containers. More particularly, the present invention relates to systems and methods for folding and unfolding shipping container walls. Background technique [0002] In domestic and global commerce, the shipping industry uses large cargo containers to ship goods from one point to another. The containers are designed to be easily moved from one mode of transportation to another, traveling across continents by road or rail, or across oceans. Such containers are sometimes referred to as "combined shipping containers" or "freight containers". The use of such containers has essentially eliminated the need to manually transfer cargo from one ship to another, or from one vehicle or train to another, to transport the cargo to its final destination. [0003] Today, the size and structure of freight containers are often standardized through international certification standards as well as national standards....
