Abstract
An adapter for use with a connector of a shipping container is disclosed, the adapter including a support body, a bolt and, optionally, a nut that can thread to the shaft of the bolt. The support body includes a front body portion having a through bore for passage of a shaft of the bolt and a U-shaped body portion extending from the front body portion, the U-shaped body portion including pair of elongate posts. The bolt is rotatable from a first position in which a bolt head rests against longitudinal ends of the pair of elongate posts to a second position in which the bolt head is received between the pair of elongate posts and in which the pair of elongate posts prevent the bolt head from rotating. The adapter provides the connector with an outwardly protruding shaft to which devices or apparatus can be coupled.
