Abstract: The improved double-walled transport container for transporting liquids and gases which have to be protected against heating or cooling and against mechanical shock, has a fully insulated inner vessel and an outer vessel comprising an upper shell, a lower shell and two dished endwalls. A shock-absorbing and thermally insulating layer is provided between the outer and the inner vessel, and support flanges extend over the entire length of the outer vessel. The sum of the distances between the endwalls of the inner and the outer vessel is at least equal to the distance of the crest of the arch from the edge of an endwall of the outer vessel.

Abstract: For charging and discharging a freight container, a device for tipping the container has a U-shaped frame, to which two tipping cheeks are connected which are adapted to be raised and lowered together and to pivot and which have rotary locking devices for engaging the lower corner fittings of the freight container. The device can be mobile and self-propelled or towable, is collapsable into a relatively small space when not in use and has hydraulic thrust and tipping actuators.

Abstract: With a view to eliminating the annealing of the entire container for stress-relieving purposes after assembly and to prevent excessive stressing of its tanks, a self-contained transport container with two adjacent and rigidly interconnected cylindrical liquid tanks has the tanks screwed together with each other and with saddle elements and intermediate saddles via T-members and additional transverse connecting members.
