Patent ID: 7967161

Claim:
An apparatus and system for containing and controlling a flowable material within the interior of a cargo container, said apparatus and system comprising: a separating enclosure adapted to separately enclose substantially an entire volume of an interior of the cargo container; wherein said separating enclosure comprises an interior chamber adapted to contain the flowable material within said separating enclosure; wherein said interior chamber comprises a substantially vertical rear-boundary-wall, a substantially vertical front-boundary-wall, a substantially vertical first sidewall, a substantially vertical second sidewall, and a deflection limiter adapted to limit deflection of said substantially vertical rear-boundary-wall under a load imposed by the flowable material during containment within said separating enclosure and further adapted to guide flowable material towards a center of the substantially vertical rear-boundary-wall during discharge; and wherein said deflection limiter comprises at least four load transfer members, a first load transfer member attached to said substantially vertical rear-boundary-wall and said substantially vertical first sidewall, a second load transfer member attached at a different angle than first load transfer member to said substantially vertical rear-boundary-wall and at least one of said substantially vertical first sidewall and said substantially vertical front-boundary-wall, a third load transfer member attached to said substantially vertical rear-boundary-wall and said substantially vertical second sidewall, and a fourth load transfer member attached at a different angle than third load transfer member to said substantially vertical rear-boundary-wall and at least one of said substantially vertical second sidewall and said substantially vertical front-boundary-wall.
