Patent ID: 11987166

Abstract:
A remotely controlled twistlock assembly includes a T-shaped twistlock locking pin and a twistlock housing within which the T-shaped twistlock locking pin is mounted. A motion converter is mounted within the twistlock housing and is connected to the T-shaped twistlock locking pin. A remotely controlled pin actuator is linked to the motion converter in a manner such that extension and retraction of the pin actuator causes rotation of the motion converter and the T-shaped twistlock locking pin. A latch is mounted within the twistlock housing and is engageable with the motion converter such that the latch locks the motion converter when the latch is engaged with the motion converter and unlocks the motion converter when the latch is disengaged from the motion converter. A remotely controlled latch actuator is linked to the latch in a manner such that retraction and extension of the latch actuator controls engagement and disengagement of the latch with the motion converter. At least one feedback device is mounted within the twistlock housing and is positioned to provide remote reporting of a position of at least one of the motion converter and the latch.
