| 70 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTERMODAL CONTAINER HANDLING | US15583583 | 2017-05-01 | US20170313525A1 | 2017-11-02 | David KUN |
| A rail-road intermodal freight system. In an embodiment, a conveyor system is provided for placing rail cars in a position for loading shipping containers thereon, while an over-the-road trailer is secured to the rail car. Rail cars have a frame with a front end and a rear end, and a bogie having at least four flanged rail wheels is pivotally mounted to the rear of the frame of the rail car. A method for unloading the rail cars includes lifting the front of the frame of the rail cars and pivoting the rail cars by an angle alpha from the track direction at an unloading area, and lowering the front end of the frame to the ground to allow truck access to trailers on the rail car. By utilizing the method, efficient loading and unloading of train involved in intermodal shipments may save considerable time, and thus reduce costs. | ||||||

| The invention relates to an inlet closure system for covering an inlet formed in an upper region of a container body The container body may a storage region of a hopper, a hopper vehicle such as a hopper railway wagon or other storage devices. The inlet closure system comprises at least one closure member arranged substantially above the inlet and moveable between a first closed configuration in which the inlet is substantially closed and a second fully open configuration in which the inlet is substantially open, and at least one actuator mounted on an end wall of the container body for moving the closure member. The actuator remains below an upper edge of the end wall when the closure member is in the second fully open configuration. The actuator is arranged in use to act upon the at least one closure member via a linkage, which linkage is arranged for pivotal motion relative to the end wall about a point substantially midway between the side walls. The linkage may comprise a first link and a second link. The second link may have a first and a second limb which meet at a non-straight angle. Preferably, the first limb and/or the second link lie below the upper edge of the end wall when the closure member is in the second fully open configuration. The second limb may lie substantially beyond an inward facing surface of the closure member when the closure member is in the second fully open configuration. If two actuators are arranged to act upon respective closure members, the first links of the linkages are arranged to pivot about a common pivot point. The common pivot point is preferably located on the end wall at a point substantially midway between the sidewalls. | ||||||
