METHOD FOR INSTALLING A 40HQ CONTAINER IN OPEN CAR Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC B61D45/00 B60P7/13 

FIELD: railway engineering.

SUBSTANCE: railway transport and container cargo transportation. The method includes the use of four identical supports, each of which contains a lower base and an upper base with two guide supports (4) and a rack (5) placed between them. The lower base of each of the cradle is placed in the corresponding corner of the open car until its two adjacent end surfaces touch the corresponding two adjacent side walls of the open car and is rigidly attached to them, then the upper base of each cradle is placed on the lower base so that the rack (5) faces to the corresponding corner of the open car. Before fixing the upper bases on the lower bases, maintain size 12192⁺¹⁰ between the end surfaces of the guide supports (4), placed in pairs opposite each other along the length of the open car, and size 2437⁺¹⁰ between the end surfaces of the guide supports (4), placed in pairs opposite each other along the width of the open car. The symmetry of the placement of the upper bases relative to the longitudinal axis of the bottom of the open car is checked, they are rigidly fastened to the lower bases, and opposite the guide supports, the upper frame of the open car is equipped with means signaling the location of the guide supports. The lowering of the container into the open car is oriented using signaling means to ensure that the container fittings hit the support platforms of the cradle.

EFFECT: improving the efficiency of cargo transportation by rail by providing simple, fast, safe and reliable installation of 40HQ containers into various types of open cars.
