ABSTRACT:
A freight container for air transport comprising a support frame structure disposed on a base plate and cladding means which at least partially clad the frame structure, wherein the side walls of the freight container are each delimited upwardly by a respective top member and both top members project beyond a common edge of the base plate and are respectively connected thereto by at least two members, is to be of such a configuration that, while providing a substantial reduction in weight, the stability of the structure is increased, while in addition permitting more advantageous storage and ease of assembly.
For that purpose, it is proposed that the side wall has a support frame comprising a vertical side member, the top member adjoining same and a member which is inclined outwardly from the base plate at an angle and which is attached to a projecting end of the overhanging top member. In that arrangement, a shaped panel is to be fixed as cladding means between the inclined members and a projection portion is to be formed out on the panel between marginal strip portions, the projection portion being provided with a bottom strip portion at a spacing with respect to the base plate.
