Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004020316A1] The invention relates to, above all, a coupling piece for joining two containers (35, 36) that are stacked one atop the other, particularly onboard ships, at their corner fittings (43, 44). Said coupling piece comprises a stop plate (21) and a coupling projection (22, 23) on each side of the stop plate (21), of which the first coupling projection (22) can be placed on the corner fitting of one container (36) and the other coupling projection (23) is provided with a locking catch (28, 46, 54) for locking inside a corner fitting of the other container (35). Prior art coupling pieces have a drawback in that front-side openings in upper corner fittings (43, 44) of a container (36) are obstructed by a locking catch of the coupling piece thereby hindering the use of lashing means. In order to prevent this drawback, the inventive coupling piece is characterized in that the locking catch (28, 46, 54), when viewed in the longitudinal direction of the containers (35, 36), is laterally situated on the other coupling projection (23).
