Abstract:
A self loading container with specific improvements upon prior art. The aim is to expand self loading from industrial multi mode shipping units to less costly end uses with a range container sizes, shapes and customizations that perform common tasks and that can be self loaded into any size vehicle. Gravitational stability is improved by relocating the main rolling means of container from the bottom of vertically extendable jacks or legs to horizontally extendable support rails directly under container. As such, extendable legs are used only to vertically level container with a receiving surface onto which it can then be horizontally transferred by means of its horizontally extendable support rails. Cost and operating improvements include a simplified coupling mechanism torqued for heavy loads with which front and rear leg extension and retraction can be either in pairs, combined or locked. Operating simplicity, visibility and safety are improved by locating all manipulative tools on the same side of container and within easy reach. Ease of self loading container into vehicles and its safe retention during transport is made possible by retainer rails on an insertable vehicle cargo floor that automatically pivot to encase the container support rails.

Claim (Index 4):
The coupling operating shaft of  claim 3 , wherein its manipulative gearing comprises:\n a. two worms mounted on the interior of said operating shaft at predetermined distances from each other and from said exterior sidewall of container, the one of said worms closest to said wall termed coupling operating shaft front worm able to cooperate with a front coupling shaft worm gear in the end of a horizontal frontward facing front coupling shaft and the other of said worms termed coupling operating shaft rear worm able to cooperate with a rear coupling shaft worm gear in the end of a horizontal rearward facing rear coupling shaft, both of said front and rear coupling shafts perpendicular to said coupling operating shaft, and b. said frontward facing coupling shaft having in its other end a miter gear that cooperates with a miter gear mounted on a horizontal front legs operating shaft perpendicular to said frontward facing coupling shaft, and c. said rearward facing coupling shaft having in its other end a miter gear that cooperates with a miter gear mounted on a horizontal rear legs operating shaft perpendicular to said rearward facing coupling shaft, and d. said front legs operating shaft having a length that exceeds the width of said container of  claim 1  with said operating shaft supported by bearings in both exterior sidewalls of said container and with each exterior end of said shaft having spur gears mounted that cooperate with vertical exterior racks attached to said extendable front legs of  claim 3 a, and e. said rear legs operating shaft having a length that exceeds the width of said container of  claim 1  with said operating shaft supported by bearings in both exterior sidewalls of said container and with each exterior end of said shaft having spur gears mounted that cooperate with vertical exterior racks attached to said extendable rear legs of claim  3 a.
