  • Patent number: 8562399
    Abstract: The invention concerns a ventilation valve arrangement (1) with two valve openings (5, 6) in a valve plate (3), the opening degrees of said openings being controllable by means of a valve element, which is rotatable in relation to the valve plate (3). It is endeavored to create a large range of control opportunities in a cost-efficient manner. For this purpose it is provided that in parallel to at least one valve opening (5, 6) a ventilation channel (9) is arranged, whose flow cross-section is adjustable by means of a motor controlled valve (10). The ventilation valve arrangement (1) can be dimensioned so that at the same time it serves as underpressure valve for a transport container.

  • Patent number: 8490423
    Abstract: In a container 1 with an end wall 5, an air treatment system 6 that is arranged in the end wall 5 and comprises an opening 14 on its bottom side, through which it emits an air flow, a floor 2 provided with channels guiding the air flow in a direction away from the end wall 5, and an air guide 15 forming, in an operation position, together with a part of the end wall 5 and a part of the floor 2 an air channel 16 that guides the air flow between the opening 14 and the channels in the floor, it is endeavoured to prevent the air guide from being damaged by the forks of a fork lift truck. This is achieved in that the container 1 comprises a spring arrangement that counteracts a movement of the air guide 15 in the direction of the end wall 5.

  • Patent number: 7963410
    Abstract: The invention concerns a container floor plate (1), in particular for a refrigerated container, with an upper floor layer (2), a lower floor layer (3) and an intermediate insulating layer (8), support blocks (9) being located between the upper floor layer (2) and the lower floor layer (3). The purpose of the invention is to obtain a good insulation with a small mass. For this purpose, the lower floor layer (3) is provided with several transversal supports (10, 11), each support block (9) being supported on a transversal support (10).
