    Device for the auxiliary actuation of lashing elements between maritime containers. Lashing devices commonly used to stabilize maritime containers over time may become inoperative, and there are no specific tools for unlocking them to date. The invention proposes a device that is inserted into the recess that participates in the means of fixing the container through one of its elongated slots (3), so that after its insertion said body (4) is rotated to be blocked, presenting an axial stem (9) destined to be struck externally with a hammer or similar, and which at its other end pushes a plate (5) as an articulated lever with respect to said body (4) through a tilting axis (10), so that the tilting of the latter causes the tilting and release of the lashing element.

    [0002] Device for the auxiliary actuation of lashing elements between maritime containers
    [0004] TECHNICAL SECTOR
    [0006] The present invention refers to a device for the auxiliary actuation of lashing or locking elements between maritime containers, the purpose of which is to enable these devices to be actuated towards their unlocking position, when they cannot be unlocked by their own means.
    [0008] The object of the invention is to provide a device that allows such unlocking to be carried out in a comfortable, fast and safe way.
    [0010] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    [0012] As is known, for the transport of maritime containers by sea, said containers are stacked together, forming piles of several floors, which must be stabilized to prevent their overturning.
    [0014] In this sense, the containers have, in correspondence with their vertices, recesses with holes in three different planes for the passage of locking or lashing elements, known as "twistlock." These locking elements have a cable that when pulling it in against the tension of a spring they cause the rotation of the interlocking triggers, releasing the containers.
    [0016] However, with the passage of time, blows, environmental factors, etc., these devices may become inoperative, from the point of view of unlocking, due to breakage of the pulling cable, accumulation of dirt, etc., which forces the stevedores to have to improvise means, in most cases ineffective, to try to unlock these elements, causing the unloading process to stop, with the enormous economic costs that this entails.
    [0017] EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION
    [0019] The device for the auxiliary actuation of lashing elements between maritime containers that is advocated solves in a fully satisfactory way the problems set forth above, based on a simple but effective solution.
    [0021] To this end, the device of the invention allows the locking element between containers to be actuated directly, simply and precisely, being intended to be inserted through one of the holes that are free from the recess of the vertex of the container, acting as a lever that makes rotate said locking element until it can be released.
    [0023] More specifically, the device of the invention is embodied in a body that is intended to be inserted over the vertical groove of the container recess, presenting a configuration that is also vertically elongated, so that in its intermediate zone it includes a perimeter recess of a corresponding width. to the width of the wall of the recess, and that allows once inserted said body to rotate it 90 ° so that it is perfectly stabilized.
    [0025] Said body has an axially movable stem inside it, which at one of its ends is linked to a plate acting as a tilting lever, intended to come into contact with the locking element to be unlocked, which plate is articulated with respect to said body. main at a certain distance from the point of application of the rod, which creates a torque that is applied to the locking element to carry out its rotation and consequent unlocking.
    [0027] The stem will have a cylindrical body attached to said stem at its end opposite that of the plate acting as a lever, which threads into the main body of the device, either by means of a wing nut, screwdriver, etc., so that it can be adjusted and blocking the positioning of said stem and consequently of the plate, in order to facilitate the actuation maneuvers of the device.
    [0029] It only remains to point out, finally, that the body of the device could incorporate a magnet or be of a magnetic nature, in order for it to stabilize quickly, comfortably and easily.
    [0030] In this way, an extremely simple but very effective and safe accessory of reduced dimensions is achieved, which can be carried in a pocket by any stevedore, and can be applied without wasting time in unlocking maneuvers between containers, when conventional means of unlocking may not work.
    [0032] DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
    [0034] To complement the description that is going to be made below and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of a practical embodiment thereof, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description. where, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:
    [0036] Figure 1.- Shows a detail in perspective and in section of two containers at the level of the locking / lashing means between them, on which a device made according to the object of the present invention appears ready to be inserted. on the upper pocket of said assembly.
    [0038] Figure 2.- Shows a view similar to that of figure 1, but in which the device appears in an initial insertion phase.
    [0040] Figure 3.- Shows a view similar to that of figure 2, but in which the device, once inserted, is rotated 90 °.
    [0042] Figure 4.- Shows a view similar to that of figure 2, but in which the device appears actuated, it being possible to observe how the actuation thereof causes the rotation and release of the anchoring element.
    [0044] Figure 5.- Shows a detail of the assembly of figure 4 from another point of view.
    [0046] Figure 6.- Shows a perspective and longitudinal section view of the device object of the present invention.
    [0048] Figure 7.- Finally, shows a view similar to that of figure 6, but with the device in the operating position of its plate acting as a lever.
    [0050] PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
    [0052] In view of the outlined figures, it can be seen how the device of the invention is designed to operate a locking mechanism in which a pair of locking elements (1) participate between two containers (2), which in correspondence with their vertices include recesses with elongated grooves (3) in correspondence with three planes orthogonal to each other, so that the locking elements (1) are rotated once they have been inserted in the corresponding grooves, so that these prevent the separation between containers .
    [0054] Well, in accordance with the invention, it has been foreseen that the device is embodied in a body (4) with a section according to the section of the elongated grooves (3), in the middle area of which it undergoes a perimeter recess (6), in height according to the width of the elongated slots (3) in order that said body, once inserted in the corresponding slot, can be rotated 90 °, as shown in figures 2 and 3, establishing the side walls (7) of said recess means for stabilizing the device in a situation to be actuated.
    [0056] The body (4) has a through hole, through which a rod (9) is movable, the front end of which pushes a plate (5) acting as a lever, which is articulated to said body (4) through an axis of tilt (10).
    [0058] This plate (5) acting as a lever will present a configuration according to the physiognomy of the locking element (1), to adapt to its surface, so that when the rod (9) is displaced in the axial direction the plate will cause the rotation release of said locking element (1).
    [0060] To this end, provision has been made for the stem (9) to be subsequently finished off in a cylindrical body (8) integral with said stem, threaded, and which threads into the main body of the device, already either by actuation by a wing nut, lever, screwdriver, etc., so that the positioning of said stem and consequently of the plate can be adjusted and blocked, in the position deemed convenient.
