ABSTRACT:
An adapter (50) is provided for adapting a wide-body container (10) including coupling members (20) to be supported upon a set of container supports (40) spaced at a pre-established standard width narrower than the width of the container. The adapter (50) includes a generally rectangular casting (52) having a plurality of apertures (54,56). A plurality of brackets (58,59,60) moveably mount the adapter (50) to a wide-body container coupling member (20) so as to permit deployment of the adapter below the container. When the adapter is not in use, the adapter is retained below the container adjacent to coupling member by a finger (88) engaging detent (86) on bracket (59). The finger (88) on the end of arm (90) can be released by removing retainer (98) and pulling on handle (102). A shaft (68) mounted to pivot within the adapter enclosure and a hook (80) fixed to the shaft for movement therewith is moved to a position engaging a container coupling member. The shaft (68) can be moved to a second position so the hook is disengaged from the container coupling member and situated generally within the adapter enclosure.
