CONTAINER Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B65D88/00 

FIELD: space systems engineering; production of containers for placing in them articles of special equipment.

SUBSTANCE: the invention is pertaining to the field of space systems engineering, in particular, to the containers used for placing in them of the articles of special devices, namely the spacecrafts at their transportation, storage and land preparation. The container includes the frame 1, the lever mechanism 2, the supporting device 3 for fixation of the spacecraft 4 and the cover 5. The lever mechanism 2 is linked with the frame 1 by hinges 6. The lever mechanism 2 consists of the lower bars 7 and the upper bars 8 linked to each other by hinges 9. On the upper bars 8 there are the fixed resilient arc-shaped brackets 11, which are linked with the coupling rods. On the coupling rods there are bearing disks disposed in the guiding sleeves. On the upper flanges of the guiding sleeves there are the fastened covers linked by the hinges 18 with supporting device 3. The coupling rods are passing through the coaxial guiding channels made accordingly in the covers and the bottoms of the guiding sleeves. The bearing disks are in contact with the sets of the resilient components, which are disposed in the guiding sleeves between the bottoms and the covers. The resilient arc-shaped brackets and the upper bars 8 of the lever mechanisms 2 are placed in one vertical plane. The resilient arc-shaped brackets may consist of a set of the lamellar components made out of the thin sheet steel. The resilient components may be made out of rubber. The non-standard (emergency) vertical g-loadings are at transportation are being reduced due to the bending of the resilient arc-shaped brackets 11 and compaction of the set of the resilient components in guiding sleeve. The invention ensures keeping of the integrity and serviceability of the spacecrafts placed in the container under action of the nonstandard (emergency) g-loadings possible at the stage of their transportation.

EFFECT: the invention ensures keeping of the integrity and serviceability of the spacecrafts placed in the container under action of the nonstandard (emergency)g-loadings possible at the stage of their transportation.
