Abstract: Device for establishing a gastight and fluidtight connection in a horizontal level between two or more containers (100, 200) of the iso-container type. The device includes a substantially band shaped, elastic sealing member (300) which surrounds an opening (20) between the containers to be connected and which is arranged on a supporting surface (105). A pressure exerting member (130) is provided to hold the sealing member (300) tightly against the supporting surface (105) with tightening members (400) to force the sealing member (300) against the supporting surface (105). The sealing member (300) in mounted position is arranged with a generally rectangular cross section and is placed against a supporting surface (105) on the respective containers, generally extending in the main level of the respective containers. The pressure exerting member constitutes at least four generally band shaped members (130) arranged at the respective flat supporting surfaces (105) of a container (100).
Abstract: A device for connecting two or more ISO type containers (101, 102). A support (401, 451) is arranged at each container (101a, 102a) to encircle an equivalent aperture (10) of each container to establish a land surface (402, 452) facing the internal cavity of each respective container (101a and 102a). The sealing means (201) establishes a continuous sealing extending from said first land surface (402) of said first container (101a), across the aperture (10) between the containers and to said second land surface (452) of the second container (102a), and along the entire perimeter of the aperture (10) between the containers, and being retained sealingly to said land surfaces (402, 452) by a first and second frame-shaped clamping means (301 and 351). The respective clamping means (301, 351) presses the underlying sealing means (201) towards their respective land surfaces fy fastening means.
