    LOCK ZIPPER CONTAINER-RAIL

    Is a device formed by multiple locking points that fixes compactly the three parts of the fuselage (head, container and tail) with the rails. The transversal reinforcements of the fuselage contacts firmly with those of the rails, creating a single structure. A longitudinal axis with eccentrics operated by a hydraulic actuator moves two zippers of points (external and internal) in each rail. The weight of the container acting on the multiple locks of the zipper and forces the closing and enhances the solidity of the structure.
