ABSTRACT:
A further modification of the invention of U.S. Ser. No. 06/649,522 below discloses a closed multi purpose product container suitable for heavy duty transportation of commodity products by railroad flat cars, freight ships and land motor truck powered trailers. The modification of a full top opening has two intersecting hinged flat rigid top lids and can have side flaps extending the container length. Each one-half flat hinged lid can open and hinge from one of the opposed two long flat rigid side walls. A pair of an opposed front end wall and a hinged rear end wall door can have end wall load reinforcement designed to prevent the container end walls from bowing and deforming in shape during the acceleration and deceleration of the loaded cargo container, during the starting and stopping of a loaded train having the product containers disposed on the flat cars of the train. The hinged top flat dual rigid lids and the hinged rear flat dual rigid doors of the container in combination enable the use of the same container for multi-purpose types of product loads. The CLC container can be loaded with granular or lump product commodities. When the cleaned CLC is used as a rear door loading container, multiple automobiles can be disposed inside, and secured to prevent the automobiles rolling. The automobiles can have pressure sensitive adhesively bonded elastomeric strips protectively disposed across the cars front and rear bumpers, as the automobiles are disposed on a horizontal ramp secured in the CLC container. The ramps can be disposed at least two high in the CLC container. If the automobiles are each 13 feet long, three automobiles can be secured on each ramp in a 40 foot long container for a total of at least six automobiles per CLC container.
