Abstract
A folding closure for cargo containers, formed by a tarp (3) arranged on rails (1) defining V-shaped tracks on which top and bottom carriages joined to the tarp (3) and top and bottom carriages incorporated on respective terminal profiles (7) arranged on the ends of the tarp (3) rest when running, by means of corresponding wheels.
Claims6
- A folding closure for cargo containers, of the type comprising a tarp (3) susceptible to folding by moving on longitudinal rails (1), characterized in that the rails (1) are made up of profiles internally defining top and bottom V-shaped tracks (10) on which the wheels (6) of top carriages (4) and bottom carriages (5), incorporated on terminal profiles (7) arranged on the ends of the tarp (3), rest in running assembly.
- A folding closure for cargo containers according to claim 1, characterized in that the wheels (6) of the carriages (4, 5, 8, 9) form two point supports on the tracks (10) of the corresponding rails (1), resting on the bottom track (10) or the top track (10) according to the position of the corresponding carriage.
- A folding closure for cargo containers according to claim 1, characterized in that the terminal profiles (7) define a longitudinal groove (11) wherein a closure mechanism (12), which can be slid in order to place it at a desired height, is arranged fitted.
A folding closure for cargo containers according to claims 1 and 3, characterized in that the top carriages (8) of the ends are incorporated by means of a freely sliding fitting with respect to the corresponding terminal profiles (7), forming a floating assembly of said profiles (7) between the rails (1).
- A folding closure for cargo containers according to claim 1, characterized in that the top and bottom rails (1) are made up of identical profiles, having on the outer lateral side a longitudinal groove (22) wherein an buffer protective device (24) is incorporated in the bottom rail (1), and a housing cavity (23) wherein a cover skirt (25) is incorporated in the top rail (1).
- A folding closure for cargo containers according to claims 1 and 3, characterized in that a complementary accessory (26), by means of which a spacing of the latch of said closure mechanisms (12) is defined for tautening the tarp (3), is arranged in the latching area of the closure mechanisms (12).
