US Patent:
8215240, Jul 10, 2012
Filed:
Dec 20, 2007
Appl. No.:
12/519963
Inventors:
Wolfgang Graaff - Auburndale MA, US
Marieno P. Graveland - Lexmond, NL
Michael W. Diluigi - Alpharetta GA, US
Gary L. Fenton - Edgerton WI, US
Thomas J. Draxler - Deerfield WI, US
Assignee:
RailRunner N.A., Inc. - Lexington MA
International Classification:
B61F 1/00
US Classification:
1052152, 1052151, 105 42
Abstract:
The disclosure provides a bimodal container chassis of differing lengths in a gooseneck type as well as a flat beam type for supporting ISO and domestic containers and other cargo during highway as well as railway transit. The bimodal container chassis has a front end equipped with a king-pin for connecting to a tractor and a rear end equipped with braking and suspension components, axles, wheels and tires, which make the bimodal container chassis suitable for road transport. The bimodal container chassis has front and rear ends for connecting, and thereby suspending, the bimodal container chassis including but not limited to its payload between two rail bogies, which make the bimodal container chassis suitable for rail transit. The bimodal container chassis is constructed of sufficient strength and stiffness to withstand in-train forces of 400,000 pounds tension and compression, yet the bimodal container chassis is constructed of reasonable weight for being competitive and complying with bridge laws as well as other highway regulations.

Filed:
Jun 7, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/491109
Inventors:
Wolfgang Graaff - Auburndale MA, US
Marieno P. Graveland - Lexmond, NL
Michael W. DiLuigi - Alpharetta GA, US
Gary L. Fenton - Edgerton WI, US
Thomas J. Draxler - Deerfield WI, US
Assignee:

International Classification:
B61F 13/00
B61F 1/00
US Classification:
1052152
Abstract:
A bimodal container chassis for supporting a container during roadway and railway transit includes a mainframe having first and second ends, a top edge and a bottom angled edge. The bottom angled edge is positioned at an angle from horizontal. A running gear attachment is connected to the mainframe and slidable along the bottom angled edge in first and second directions between an over-the-road position and an over-the-rail position. The first direction is upward and toward the first end and the second direction is downward and toward the second end such that the running gear attachment is disposed adjacent the second end when in the over-the-road position and disposed upward relative to the over-the-road position and toward the first end when in the over-the-rail position.

Large-Volume Refrigerated Shipping Container

View page
US Patent:
61519081, Nov 28, 2000
Filed:
Nov 17, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/193708
Inventors:
Wolfgang Graaff - Chicago IL
Assignee:
Contrail GmbH - Stade
International Classification:
F25D 308
US Classification:
62371
Abstract:
A large-volume shipping container has a pair of upright and spaced side walls and a floor extending between lower edges of the side walls and formed with at least two groups of full-length passages upwardly open at respective full-length slots. In accordance with the invention the passages of one of the groups has a flow cross section different from the passages of the other group. A roof extends between upper edges of the side walls, a rear end door wall extends between rear edges of the roof, floor, and side walls, and a front end wall extends between front edges of the roof, floor, and side walls and defines with the roof, floor, and other walls a closed cargo-containing space. A refrigerating apparatus in the front end wall forces cool air into front ends of the passages to distribute the cool air through the space differentially according to the flow cross sections of the passages. Normally there are two side groups of the passages flanking a center group of the passage and the flow cross sections of the passages of the center group are smaller than the flow cross sections of the passages of the side groups.
