  • Patent number: 12017847
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cooling container e.g. a refrigerated cargo box of a truck or trailer, a railway container, an intermodal container or a shipping container comprising panels to be connected, having at least one connection between panels (10, 40) comprising a layer of overmoulding material (14), where a panel (10, 40) at least partially is covered on a first side (100) and a second side (200) by the overmoulding material (14). The invention further relates to a method of assembling a cooling container e.g. a refrigerated cargo box of a truck or trailer, a railway container, an intermodal container or a shipping container comprising panels to be connected, where at least one panel (10, 40) is provided with an overmoulding zone (11) comprising a layer of overmoulding material (14) covering at least partially a first side (100) and a second side (200) of the panel (10, 40).

  • Publication number: 20220194692
    Abstract: The invention relates to a floor (10) for a container, the floor comprising at least one section (11,11?,11?) is, wherein the floor section (11,11?,11?) is formed from a single sheet element and includes a number of protruding elements (20?, 20?, 20?) and a base (28), the floor section (11,11?,11?) has a polygonal shape with a length (L) extending in a first direction (X) and a width (W) extending in a second direction (Y) being perpendicular to the first direction (X), each protruding element (20, 20?, 20?) includes a base element having two side walls (22,23) extending perpendicularly from a base (28) of the floor section (11,11?,11?). The invention further relates to a method of manufacture of a floor section (11, 11?, 11?) for a container floor (10).

  • Publication number: 20220153514
    Abstract: The invention relates to a profile in a container, where a profile (5, 6, 7, 8, 101) comprising a cross section where at least a part of the cross section over a length of the profile is provided with a crumple zone, which crumple zone has a critical buckling load being smaller than the critical buckling load for zones abutting the crumple zone. The invention further relates to a method of manufacturing a profile for a container, where one or more profiles (5, 6, 7, 8, 101) in the container (1) is provided with a crumple zone, which crumple zone has a critical buckling load being smaller than the rest of the profile (5, 6, 7, 8, 101).

  • 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: 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).
