Container

Abstract

The present invention discloses a container comprising a base frame, bottom side rails are provided respectively at both sides of the base frame and extends along a lengthwise direction of the container, and corner fittings are provided respectively at positions close to both ends of the each bottom side rail, the each bottom side rail is provided with a twist lock receiving groove which is formed by notching upward vertically from a bottom of the each bottom side rail, a bottom side of which is open, and a position of which corresponds to a position of a twist lock provided on a container carrier and disposed below the each bottom side rail. In the container of the present invention, it will be effective to prevent impact or press on the bottom side rails from twist locks provided on the container carrier, and the service life of the container is increased.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is based upon and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 200710187605.6 filed on Nov. 19, 2007, which application is expressly incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a container, and more particularly, to a structure of a bottom side rail thereof.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]As shown in the FIG. 1, a conventional container comprises a base frame 1′, bottom side rails 11′ are provided respectively at both sides of the base frame 1′ and extends along a lengthwise direction of the container, and corner fittings 12′ for stacking and / or lifting the container are provided respectively at positions close to both ends of the each bottom side rail 11′. Generally, when the container is transported by a container carrier, the corner fittings 12′ are engaged respectively with twist locks (not shown) provided on the contain...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a container that prevents damage or deformation of the bottom side rails caused by impact or press from twist locks on a container carrier. This is achieved by notching upward vertically from the bottom of each bottom side rail a twist lock receiving groove that matches the position of a twist lock on the container carrier. Additionally, a reinforcing rib plate and sealing plate are provided along the peripheral wall of the twist lock receiving groove to increase the strength and longevity of the bottom side rails. These features improve the safety and durability of the container and reduce maintenance costs.

Problems solved by technology

However, because the twist locks are protrusively provided on a carrying surface of the container carrier, when a container is fixed on the container carrier, some twist locks, which do not work for fixing the container, would exert upward impact or press on the bottom side rails of the container, which would yield damage or deformation of the bottom side rails, the service life of the container is reduced and the maintenance cost is increased.
