Embodiment Construction

[0121] Refer to attached picture.

[0122] figure 1 A perspective view is shown of a typical collapsible flat frame 10, comprising a platform base 11 having infill panels or base panels 13 (such as timber supports) with inwardly folded end frames or walls 12 at their opposite ends.

[0123] Each end frame 12 has, or is arranged between, a pair of corner end posts 14 mounted on the platform base plate 11 by hinges 15 .

[0124] figure 2 A detailed side sectional view showing a conventional hinge 15 with posts 14 locked vertically.

[0125] This is a conventional hinge made by known manufacturing methods and has an inner hinge element 17 attached to the post 14 and an outer hinge element 16 attached to the base plate 11 .

[0126] At the bottom corner (drawn on the right-hand side) a corner fitting 37 is mounted, which is of standard form for container acquisition, handling and centering stacking.

[0127] The corner fitting 37 comprises a cast iron cuboid box with a handli...

Abstract

A fabricated hinge, for mounting a folding (support) post (14) upon a platform base (11) of a collapsible f latrack container (10), features opposed f langes (27, 28), with differential flange depths to interface with a diversity of mounted post size and attendant tension or compression loading, whereby a common hinge format suits a diversity of mounted post and loading conditions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to so-called collapsible flat-rack containers for the transport and storage of goods. Background technique [0002] Generally, such flat frames include a rectangular platform base with collapsible posts and / or end walls. [0003] Columns are usually arranged at corners as corner end columns. [0004] This means that the intermediate uprights can be located on the inside of the span of the flat frame base. [0005] Mount the column and / or wall to the base with hinges. [0006] One (fixed) hinge element can be fixed to the platform base, while the other (movable) hinge element can be fixed to the column or wall. [0007] Provided the hinges are lockable by interconnected fixed and movable hinge elements, the columns and / or walls can be used to stack and erect other containers in the upright position. [0008] Once the hinges are unlocked, the columns and / or walls fold down to lie flat on the platform base for compact, ec...
