ABSTRACT:
An air freight container for shipping goods, such as garments which are transported in the suspended position, is formed of an open scaffold-like frame. The frame is shaped to conform to the interior contour of the freight space in a transport aircraft. The frame includes a floor or base part, end frame parts which extend upwardly from the base part and are disposed in spaced relation to one another, transverse connectors located above the base part and extending between adjacent end frame parts, and diagonal struts connected between the base part and the crown portion of the end frame parts. The various parts of the frame are all formed of pipe sections having the same transverse shape and the various parts are secured together by connectors formed of rigidly connected sleeves which have an interior shape conforming to the exterior shape of the pipe sections which they interconnect. Screw members are threaded into the connector sleeves for securing the sleeves to the pipe sections.
