Abstract: The invention relates to a container with a pneumatically driven locking mechanism and more specifically a container. One disadvantage of conventional containers is that when they are stacked on top of each other, it is not possible to raise and transport several of such containers at the same time. Another disadvantage is that stacked containers have hitherto needed to be locked manually, resulting in a considerable safety risk for dock workers and ship workers. The aim of the invention is to provide a container which is fitted in such a way that it can be locked with other similar containers without the need for manual activity and enable several stacked containers to be transported simultaneously. This is achieved by providing the container with corners having pneumatically driven, rotatable and displaceable locking devices arranged therein.

Abstract: A container has a hinging panel compressing a gasket against a door frame, preferably as an intermodal waste container. A spring biased catch is engaged by forcing the door panel beyond a certain point approaching its sealed position, for example by slamming the door. A lever-operated cam closure can then be engaged to fully compress the seal as the door panel is pulled to its sealed position. A clamping structure along a bottom edge of the door panel is adjustable to obtain an intermediate span of adjustment that is variable, along the bottom edge. A sill rod has fingers to grasp tabs on the bottom edge of the door. The pressure exerted at each tab is variable using a bolt adjustment. The individual adjustment can correct for wear or generally correct the tendency of the door panel to become bowed outwardly, thus reducing the incidence of leaks.
