Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006021579A1] The invention relates to a coupling part (10) for connecting two containers stacked on top of one another, in particular on board ships, at their corner fittings (13). Said part comprises two coupling projections (11, 12) facing in opposite directions, one of said projections (11) engaging in the corner fitting (13) of one container and the other projection (12) engaging in the corner fitting of the other container. The aim of the invention is to ensure that coupling parts (10) of this type can be mounted in the corresponding corner fitting in such a way that locking lugs (18) of the coupling part (10) always face in the same direction on an end face of the container, i.e. that no coupling part (10) is inadvertently inserted the wrong way round. To achieve this, the inventive coupling part (10) is characterised in that one of the coupling projections (11) is asymmetrical, which means that the coupling part (10) can only be inserted into and mounted on the corner fitting (13) in a specific direction.
