ABSTRACT:
A coupling fitting for releasably joining adjacent corners of sea shipment containers comprises a housing 10 having a central passage 11 for accommodating a rotatable bolt 12 having locking bars 13, 14 integral with its opposite ends. The bars extend outwardly of centering bosses 16, 17 which project from opposite sides of a central support flange 15 of the housing and enter slots 20 of container corner fittings, whereafter they are rotated to lock the containers together by turning the bolt 12. The housing is axially divided into two mating halves 21, 22 by an interfacing plane 23. One of the halves has undercut, hook-like projections 26 internally of each boss on one side of the passage 11, and pyramidal centering projections 31 on the other side. These projections engage in correspondingly configured recesses 27, 34 in the other housing half, and the assembled halves are secured together by pins extending through aligned bores 35, 36 in the bosses and pyramidal projections.
