Problems solved by technology

Securing and protecting the cargo is difficult using traditional lashing means, since they generally function by the use of muscular force.
The forces caused by securing, transporting and handling the cargo strain the lashing means, thus easily resulting in stretching and other deformations of the lashing members.
In long distance transport, the stretching of ropes and lines can cause dangerous situations due to the loosening of the cargo lashing.
The excessive tightening of the lines can easily cause damage to goods being transported and to the cargo covers or to the lashing means themselves, especially at the comers of the cargo.

Embodiment Construction

[0003] The present invention concerns a cargo cover according to patent claim 1. Certain advantageous applications of the invention are presented in the other claims.

[0004] The invention solves some of the aforementioned problems and eliminates drawbacks of the known technology, producing a cargo cover, the tensioning force of which can be controlled and which also covers the cargo better Damage to the cover and lashing means is also reduced.

[0005] The invention is based on the placing of pads, inflatable with an appropriate medium, between the cargo and the cover, particularly at the corners. The cargo is secured to the flat by passing the lashing members around the cargo,. after which the pads are filled with the medium The pads expand and adapt in shape, at the same time tightening the lashing members to the desired tightness The strain caused by the lashing is divided over a large surface, so that there is no damage to the goods secured. By varying the pressure in the pads, the ...

Abstract

The object of invention is a cargo cover (1) , incorporating on the inside pads (2) , inflatable with a medium (air). The cover is placed over the cargo (7) , and at the same time the pads are placed in the corners and at other appropriate places. The cargo is secured with ropes (6) , and the medium is introduced into the pads, causing the pads to expand and tighten the ropes. The fastening of the cargo is elastic and non-loosening, since the deformation of the pads and fastening, members can be compensated.

Description

BACKGROUND TO THE TECHNOLOGY[0001] The object of invention is a cargo cover, which is used for covering and securing cargo units in connection with transport and storage.[0002] In transport and storage the cargo is often first covered with separate covers, after which they are attached with appropriate means, such as lines or the like. The lines are to be tightened to a sufficient degree to hold the cargo and the covers firmly in place. Securing and protecting the cargo is difficult using traditional lashing means, since they generally function by the use of muscular force. The forces caused by securing, transporting and handling the cargo strain the lashing means, thus easily resulting in stretching and other deformations of the lashing members. In long distance transport, the stretching of ropes and lines can cause dangerous situations due to the loosening of the cargo lashing. The excessive tightening of the lines can easily cause damage to goods being transported and to the carg...
