CONTAINER Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: packaging equipment, particularly for special-purpose items, namely for space-crafts storage and transportation.

SUBSTANCE: container has bottom with supporting adapter installed on base, baffle with space-craft transversal position compensators and lid. Supporting adapter is provided with damping system. Side position compensators are formed as horizontal adjustable rods having bearing rollers cooperating with space craft by contact surfaces thereof. Each adjustable rod includes cup secured inside baffle orifice by threaded end thereof and stop pivotally connected to bearing roller. Cup and stop are connected one to another by means of longitudinal and transversal position fixer. Contact surface of each bearing roller is covered with metallized film applied on resilient material, which is secured to bearing roller. Limit load dampers are installed between each cup and each stop coaxially thereto and arranged in stop longitudinal direction. Longitudinal rotational axis of each bearing roller is located in plane perpendicular to longitudinal space-craft axis.

EFFECT: elimination of additional loads applied to space-craft in overloaded conditions during transportation and temperature deformations; reduction of vibro-impulsive loads applied to space-craft during transportation thereof, increased operational efficiency of damping system.
