Abstract: A shock-absorbing or vibration-absorbing assembly includes a metal base and an elastic shock-absorbing or vibration-absorbing material secured to the metal base. A top surface of the metal base has at least one orifice extending from the top surface to at least one hollow chamber beneath the top surface. The hollow chamber occupies a planar area of the metal base parallel to the top surface that is larger than a planar area of the metal base that is occupied by the orifice at the top surface. The elastic material is secured to the metal base by the elastic material filling the orifice and the hollow chamber of the metal base and the elastic material filling a region above the top surface of the metal base that has a cross-sectional area parallel to the top surface of the metal base that is larger than the planar area of the metal base that is occupied by the orifice at the top surface of the metal base.

Abstract: An Interconnector device designed to couple the top corner castings together on two ISO containers providing both horizontal pull strength and compression as well as the required 3″ spacer between the outer face of the castings. The device is designed in two pieces rather than just one to overcome the problem of inadequate grip for designs that must be inserted horizontally.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a locking device which can be engaged in a conventional ISO aperture of a corner casting of an upper and lower shipping container stacked on a carrier to lock the containers together. The locking device has a housing having a compression pad with an upper and lower shear block. A spring-biased twist-head is engaged to the upper shear lock, and a spring-biased hook is engaged in the housing. When the upper and lower shear block of the lock are respectively engaged in the ISO aperture of the upper and lower corner castings of the stacked containers and the twist-lock and the hook are each in a closed position within the corner casting, relative movement between the containers is limited.

Abstract: A freight container twistlock device for engaging a carrier to a freight container. The device having a housing, a shear block engaged on a top of the housing, a stem engaged to a twistlock head, and passing through both the housing and the shear block, a handle engaged to an end of the stem opposite to the twistlock head to rotate the twistlock head into a locked or unlocked position relative to the freight container, a roll pin fixed to the stem within the housing, and an adjustable handle positioner selectively engaged in the housing to limit turning of the handle when engaged by the roller pin from an open position of the handle to a closed position of the handle from either a left side of the open position or a right side of the open position.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a front bolster pinlock device for attachment to either end of a front bolster beam of a chassis for engaging and transporting a freight container. To accomplish this the pinlock device has a housing adapted to be fixed to said front bolster beam. A first side wall having a slot which extends away from the front bolster beam and the locking pin is slidably engaged in the housing. A handle is fixed to the locking pin slidable in the first slot. A latch having a second slot is rotatably engaged to said side wall and the handle extends through the second slot. When the locking pin is engaged to the freight container the gravity latch maintains the handle in a locked position when the device is fixed at either end of said front bolster beam, in spite the fact that the devices are rotated 180 degrees in relation to each other to their operational position with the handles pointing towards each other.
