VEHICLE FOR RESERVOIRS WITH DANGEROUS MATERIAL AND METHOD OF SECURING SUCH RESERVOIRS IN SHIPMENT CONTAINERS Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering; materials carriage. SUBSTANCE: proposed device has containers for reservoirs with dangerous material and means for holding reservoirs inside container. Load holding means have first base surface with holes for accurate fitting of lower part of each reservoir with dangerous material and second base surface with holes for accurate fitting of upper part of reservoirs with dangerous material. First base surface fills completely the surface of container bottom, and second base surface completely fills container intermediate surface arranged in parallel with container bottom surface. First base surface is formed by large number of separate first shaped parts shifted relative to each other. First shaped parts adjoin each other and rest against container wall at edge of first base surface. Second base surface is formed by large number of separate shaped parts shifted relative to each other, adjoining each other and resting against container wall at edge of second base surface. First and second shaped parts are provided with recesses at edges forming upwards opening cavities in first and second base surfaces between adjoining shaped parts. Wedge are driven into these cavities. According to proposed method of securing reservoirs with dangerous material in containers, lower parts of reservoirs are fitted in holes of first base surface, and intermediate surface of container arranged in parallel with bottom surface is completely filled-in by second base surface. Upper part of reservoir installed in first base surface is accurately and tightly fitted in holes. EFFECT: enhanced reliability of holding reservoirs with dangerous material in shipment. 14 cl, 3 dwg
