Abstract

Cette invention est un appareil de sécurité portable destiné à supporter de multiples fonctions dans une échelle afin de libérer les charges que l'utilisateur doit habituellement maintenir. L'appareil se transporte, s'installe, se manipule, se déploie, se rétracte et se transborde rapidement et d'une seule main. Dans un premier temps, l'invention comporte un système de fixations composé d'éléments d'alignement et d'approche vers un ancrage rapide, sécuritaire et d'une seule main. A ce stade, la plupart des fonctions de l'appareil sont latentes et principalement dissimulées de façon compacte dans le quadrilatère formé par deux barreaux et deux montants d'échelle. A ce stade, l'appareil s'intègre et concilie entièrement l'utilisation de l'échelle. Dans un deuxième temps, l'appareil déploie de façon sécuritaire d'une seule main, de multiples extensions et plateforme en vue de multiples commodités et fonctions dont le but visé et le résultat atteint sont d'alléger l'utilisateur de toute surcharge afin qu'il récupère davantage d'autonomie, se facilite le travail, mais surtout et d'abord qu'il augmente son niveau de sécurité dans et autour de son environnement d'échelle. L'appareil respecte les fonctions d'échelle et l'espace utilisateur sauf lorsque le coffret plate-forme est déployée: alors elle ne peut être étirée ou rétractée. L'appareil est compacte et s'entrepose partout ou dans l'échelle.This invention is a portable safety apparatus for supporting multiple functions in a ladder in order to release the loads that the user usually has to hold. The device can be transported, installed, handled, deployed, retracted and transferred quickly and with one hand. Firstly, the invention comprises a fastening system made up of alignment and approach elements for rapid, secure and one-handed anchoring. At this stage, most of the device's functions are latent and mostly compactly concealed in the quadrilateral formed by two rungs and two ladder posts. At this stage, the device integrates and fully reconciles the use of the scale. Secondly, the device deploys in a safe way with one hand, multiple extensions and platforms for multiple conveniences and functions whose intended goal and achieved result are to relieve the user of any overload so that 'he regains more autonomy, makes his work easier, but above all and first of all, he increases his level of safety in and around his scale environment. The device respects the scale functions and user space except when the platform box is deployed: then it cannot be stretched or retracted. The device is compact and can be stored anywhere or on the ladder.

Mémoire descriptif Caractère général de l'invention Cette invention est un appareil de sécurité portable destiné à
supporter de multiples fonctions dans une échelle afin de libérer les charges que l'utilisateur doit habituellement maintenir.

La facilité, la capacité et la versatilité de l'appareil surpassent et transcendent le besoin initial et primaire d'un ouvrage précis ou en particulier si ce n'est la sécurité.

Articles et procédés antérieurs Depuis que l'échelle existe, les années ont vu défiler nombre de crochets, de plate-forme et d'appareils de soutien d'outils et matériels dans le but de venir en aide à
l'utilisateur d'échelle qui doit se libérer les mains afin de tenir sa propre personne en plus que de pouvoir travailler.

Bien que plusieurs de ces appareils aient atteint le pupitre de la revendication jusqu'à obtenir la note de brevet, aucun n'a atteint la noblesse de la véritable utilité.
Nul n'a survécu l'exigence et la rigueur ni du marcher niõ du chan er.çAucun ne résiste à l'usage si ce n'est le temps N

d'un rêve car chacun est davantage nuisance que commodité. Un fait important à remarquer c'est que la plupart nécessitent une manipulation à deux mains: ce qui n'en laisse pas beaucoup pour se tenir. Danger accru.

Plus souvent qu'autrement le service c'est-à-dire la position n'est pas au bon endroit et exige plus et davantage de contorsion et de détour pour l'utilisateur. Pour plusieurs de ces appareils on se demande s'il ne vont pas nous lâcher ou bouger par le vent ou par notre simple petit mouvement.
Pour le travailleur prévoyant en règle générale l'insécurité
règne et on les élimine pour le prochain travail. Et vient le jour de la direction poubelle.

Le petit dernier que j'ai pu trouver est le canfix paint can holder patent numéro us 6,431,509. Après avoir testé
ce dernier, il termine carrière au bac de récupération.
Malgré que j'ai offert gracieusement de le donner, nul ne le veut tellement l'appareil inspire la confiance dont sa publicité se vante. Situation que j'ai déjà auparavant expérimentée avec dix autres de ces tous aussi différents que géniaux appareils. Ma propre expérience couvre près de 50 ans.

Plus souvent qu'autrement ils augmentent le risque d'accident en inférant ou en gênant l'environnement d'échelle et son utilisateur. L'installation est ardue ou fastidieuse voire acrobatique et souvent par le derrière de l'échelle Parfois a prend les pieds et les mains.

De plus, pour plusieurs de ces appareils, la véritable utilité ou pertinence n'en est une que de papier. J'en viens à
me surprendre qu'untel n'ait pu faire breveter un collier étrangleur pour supporter un gallon de peinture à son propre cou et dans le but avoué de répondre au besoin du marché, de trouver des adeptes et d'engranger du profit grâce à de nombreux acheteurs. Et je suis sérieux car il existe un brevet canadien pas dur à trouver et frôlant cette vision. 2360605 La sécurité implorée n'est généralement que pieuse affirmation toute virtuelle et qui part en fumée aussitôt que l'utilisateur est saucé dans le réel et vrai environnement d'échelle aux vecteurs croisés, inter-actifs, et en perpétuel mouvement.
La dite sécurité n'est vraie qu'en des cas précis, pointus, ponctuels et stationnaires que l'on peut qualifier de position dead duck, stand-by et statique par exemple sur un devis ou sinon à ne pas se bouger d'un iota dans l'échelle.

Donc la règle généralisée c'est le syndrome de la performance ronflante et prometteuse alors que l'on tait assidûment l'insatisfaction garantie et le risque d'accident augmenté. Car dans un environnement d'échelle il ne faut surtout pas s'embarrasser d'inutilité. L'idéal c'est d'avoir un maximum de commodité à notre portée et sans être obligé de fouiller ni cafouiller mais en même temps faut-il avoir les mains libres et disponibles.

Et c'est ce qui explique en bonne partie que les `=.
tablettes et les catalogues des fournisseurs d'échelle 'et rr(..1 f ~, d'outils sont littéralement ou à peu de chose près vides et exempts de tous ces beaux appareils inventifs dont pourtant plusieurs ont été brevetés en pétaradant au plus fort et en revendiquant utilité, sécurité, finesse et technicité. Je répète .: davantage nuisance que commodité.

Et il en va de même en ce qui concerne les sacoches à
multiples poches présentement offertes et vendues par les fournisseurs d'équipement d'échelle. Ce sont de très belles sacoches et plusieurs sont très bien équipées. Cependant qu'il est déjà connu fastidieux de fouiller le contenu d'une sacoche sur le plancher des vaches, je m'élève à dire qu'une échelle n'est pas le meilleur endroit pour en fouiller une munie de multiples poches afin de s'y retrouver.

Voilà ce qui constitue et résume la situation de ce qui est antérieur à mon invention.

L'idée créatrice J'ai résolu tous les problèmes énumérés plus haut. Et je suis allé au-delà de l'idée du besoin initial et prir3 des appareils antécédents.

'~ E

Premièrement en créant un système d'ancrage invitant pour installer l'appareil par un mouvement naturel et convivial par et vers le devant de l'échelle: soutenez, poussez, lâchez d'une seule main, impossible à tromper, l'appareil se glisse, solide et stable. L'appareil est sécurisé.
Aucune complexité mécanique pouvant créer une incertitude subséquente.

Pour désinstaller l'appareil, seul un ensemble chronologique de contre mouvement volontaire et intentionné peut retirer l'appareil de ses gonds c'est-à-dire de ses barreaux. Il faut d'abord soulever et équilibrer en parrallèlle aux barreaux, pour ensuite soutenir et pour enfin pouvoir tirer vers soi. Le tout se fait facilement et toujours d'une seule main. L'ancrage ne peut aucunement se désengager soudainement suite à un oubli, une erreur ou à une défaillance mécanique.

Ce système d'ancrage est la base d'un châssis rigide conçu pour recevoir et supporter adéquatement de multiples fonctions, sous appareils, plate-forme, niches, crochets et extensions dont certaine partie, ensemble ou composante sont originales de mon invention. Augmentation d'utilité, de capacité et de sécurité. De plus, l'appareil peut être entreposé dans l'échelle sans nuisance aucune. A cet effet, et encore une fois, mon invention transcende le besoin initial de la ono fonction.

) Toutes fonctions déployées, l'utilisateur peut voyager dans l'échelle en tout temps: le passage demeure fonctionnel.

Mon appareil replié respecte l'intégralité des fonctions d'échelle. Mon appareil respecte aussi l'espace initial et ainsi que le mouvement de l'utilisateur.

Créant pour la première fois une situation plaisante, productive et sécuritaire et une générosité pleine de réserve en commodité et en capacité et exempte d'ambiguité et de double contrainte.

Au fait... mon invention sert dans l'échelle mais de plus elle peut aussi bien servir dans un escabeau ou sur le plancher des vaches. Mon invention peut par exemple s'accrocher à une cuve de lavage ou à une chaise.

Descriptive memory General character of the invention This invention is a portable security apparatus for support multiple functions in a ladder to release the loads that the user usually has to maintain.

The ease, capacity and versatility of the device surpass and transcend the initial and primary need for a specific work or especially if it's not security.

Earlier articles and methods Since the scale exists, the years have seen number of hooks, platform and support for tools and materials in order to help the ladder user who has to free his hands in order to to keep one's own person in addition to being able to work.

Although many of these devices have reached the desk of the claim until get the note of patent, none has attained the nobility of true utility.
No one has survived the exigency and rigor of either walking or chan er.çNo one can resist the use if not the time NOT

of a dream because everyone is more nuisance than convenience. An important fact to note is that the most require two-handed manipulation:
do not leave a lot to stay. Increased danger.

More often than not the service ie the position is not in the right place and requires more and more contortion and detour for the user. For many of these devices we wonder if they will not let us go or move by the wind or by our simple movement.
For the worker who generally foresees insecurity reign and eliminate them for the next job. And come on trash management day.

The last thing I could find is the canfix paint can holder patent us number 6,431,509. After testing the latter, he finishes career in the recovery tank.
Although I graciously offered to give it, no one wants so much the device inspires the confidence its advertising boasts. Situation that I already have before experienced with ten other of these all so different that great devices. My own experience covers by 50 years old.

More often than not they increase the risk accident by inferring or disturbing the environment of scale and its user. The installation is difficult or tedious or acrobatic and often by the back of Sometimes the ladder takes feet and hands.

In addition, for many of these devices, the true utility or relevance is only paper. I come to to surprise me that so-and-so could not patent a necklace choke to support a gallon of paint to his own neck and with the stated purpose of meeting the need of the market, find followers and reap the benefits thanks to many buyers. And I'm serious because he there is a Canadian patent not hard to find and close to this vision. 2360605 The implored security is generally only pious assertion all virtual and that goes up in smoke as soon as the user is saucé in the real and true environment of scale to intersecting, inter-active, and perpetual vectors movement.
The said security is only true in specific cases, sharp, punctual and stationary that can be described as dead position duck, stand-by and static for example on a quote or otherwise not to move one iota in the scale.

So the general rule is the syndrome of raucous and promising performance while we are silent assiduously guaranteed dissatisfaction and the risk of accidents increases. Because in a scale environment it does not take especially not bother with uselessness. The ideal is to have maximum convenience within our reach and without being forced to search or scramble but at the same time must have your hands free and available.

And that's why, for the most part, the `=.
tablets and catalogs of suppliers' scale and rr (.. 1 f ~, tools are literally or almost empty and free from all these beautiful inventive devices which nevertheless several have been patented while fading at the highest and claiming utility, safety, finesse and technicality. I
repeats: more nuisance than convenience.

And the same goes for the saddlebags multiple pockets currently offered and sold by scale equipment suppliers. These are very beautiful saddlebags and many are very well equipped. However that it is already known tedious to search the contents of a bag on the floor of the cows, I rise to say that a ladder is not the best place to search one with multiple pockets to navigate.

This is what constitutes and sums up the situation of this which is prior to my invention.

The creative idea I have solved all the problems listed above. And I went beyond the idea of the initial need and prir3 antecedents.

'~ E

Firstly by creating an inviting anchoring system to install the device by a natural movement and friendly by and towards the front of the ladder: support, push, let go with one hand, impossible to deceive, the device slips, solid and stable. The device is secure.
No mechanical complexity that can create a subsequent uncertainty.

To uninstall the device, only one set chronological counter-movement voluntary and intentioned can remove the device from its hinges ie to say of his bars. We must first lift and balance parallel to the bars, to support and finally, to be able to draw towards oneself. Everything is easy and always with one hand. Anchorage can not disengage suddenly following an oversight, error or to a mechanical failure.

This anchoring system is the basis of a rigid chassis designed to receive and adequately support multiple functions, under devices, platform, niches, hooks and extensions including some part, whole or component are original of my invention. Increase of utility, of capacity and security. In addition, the device can be stored in the ladder without any nuisance. For this purpose, and again, my invention transcends the need initial of the ono function.

) All functions deployed, the user can travel in the ladder at all times: the passage remains functional.

My folded device respects all functions scale. My device also respects the initial space and as well as the movement of the user.

Creating for the first time a pleasant situation, productive and safe and a generous generosity of reserve in convenience and capacity and free from ambiguity and double stress.

By the way ... my invention serves in the scale but the more it can serve as well in a stool or on the cows floor. My invention can for example cling to a wash tub or chair.

G l 7 v ;di i'0 La figure #7 est une photo de l'appareil ouvert déployé et chargé vue de face en diagonale.

Les figure #8, 9, 10 sont des photos de l'appareil montrant divers options et possibilités.

Description L'appareil illustré comprend (figure #1) un montant vertical gauche 25 et un montant vertical droit 25b, réunis par une traverse inférieure 13 et une traverse supérieure 2 Reliés entre eux ces composants forment une base rigide mais cependant et optionnellement ajustable par réalignement des trous prévus à cet effet avant d'être réunis (figure # 1 et #6) 24 selon que la distance entre deux barreaux adjacent varierait sur certaines échelles.

La figure #6 donne une bonne idée sinon rend évident comment la carcasse est accrochée à une échelle. Sur cette photo il est à noter qu'une seul main suffit en 26 pour tenir la carcasse, la manipuler, l'accrocher à une échelle ou l'en désinstaller. Dans un autre moment, la main s'appuie sur 23 (figure 41) car le coffret plate forme est installé sur la carcasse de l'appareil.

La hauteur totale des montants 25 est supérieure (environ 3 pouces) à la distance verticale qui sépare deux barreaux, s _.
adjacents, ce qui empêchent de passer tout droit et de basculer vers l'arrière de l'échelle lors du premier 1. ~i Installation de l apparei mouvement de 1 se ence d\

l'échelle c'est-à-dire appuyer ou pousser l'appareil sur deux barreaux adjacents afin d'aligner les fentes d'entrée des crochets à l'arrière de l'appareil. A ce moment, l'appareil étant appuyé au bas en 20 ainsi que simultanément en haut en 7 en même temps que de pousser l'appareil sur les barreaux du haut et du bas. Dans cette séquence, l'utilisateur ne s'occupe que d'aligner une seule fente dans un seul barreau et l'autre fente s'aligne automatiquement dans son propre barreau.

Suite à ce premier mouvement, les crochets s'insèrent simultanément en haut 3 et simultanément en bas 16 de la simple relâche de l'appareil qui se niche par-dessus ses barreaux par gravité.

Seule une contre séquence chronologique de mouvements volontaires, intentionnés et dirigés en contre gravité, peut désintaller l'appareil. Cependant toujours d'une seule main en23 Deux loquets 11, servant à fixer le coffre plate forme du haut 8 rétracté, s'accrochent en 10 mais pour être éventuellement retounés vers l'extérieur de l'échelle en tounant sur le pivot 12 afin de libérer le coffre plate forme en vue de le déployer en le basculant sur ses charnières 1 vers l'arrière allant l'appuyer sur le plat bord d'appui 2 large de plusieurs pouces afin d'offrir un support adéquat.

Un bras télescopique 6 est rétracté (figure 91) alors ce1e `:`
bras télescopique est déployé (figure #2) 3 Cette fonction est disponible que le coffre plate forme soit déployé ou rétracté.

Un crochet ou bouton d'arrêt 5 (figure 41) et (figure #2) retient l'anse d'une chaudière figure #4 en 5 et le même bouton retient de façon semblable, équerre, pied de biche, niveaux en 28 figure photo #7.

L'espace 4 avec son chassis 4.5 en (figure #1 et 2) sont conçus prévus afin de soutenir, ancrer et nicher différents équipements tels un bloc batterie, un mini treuil, une lampe télescopique goose neck dirigeable. Le tout afin que l'utilisateur d'échelle n'aie pas à les supporter de ses propres mains lorsqu'il travaille mais plûtot s'en libère les mains de façon à augmenter la sécurité.

Le mini treuil y sera électrique continu et ou manuel et ou le centre télescopique de ce montage sera motorisé par exemple par un perceuse torpille sans fil dont la niche est prévue possiblement en 30 et ou en 4 et 4.5 et ou dans un coffret plate forme. L'espace pour une autre barre télescopique est prévu sous jacent à la barre télescopique déjà montrée.

En 13 (figure 141 et 2) est un plat bord de fixation et de support pour un coffret plate forme dans la partie inférieure tout comme 2 en est un pour le coffret plate forme supérieur.

Ce montage est suffisant pour l'usage courant qui e ~iilL.i l~J f ~ '7i ne s~site point le parfait niveau ni la surcharge extrême.

: t? t Pour ces derniers il est prévu et conçu d'ajouter des câbles et ou chaînes de force de retenue comme en 32 (figure # 7) mais c'est une éventualité peu probable et optionnelle.

Le coffret plate forme 8 déployé par ses charnières 1 peut éventuellement être redéployé une seconde fois par ses charnières 9. cette deuxième plate forme étant le couvercle du coffre plate forme 8 lorsque rétracté. Le poids qui peut y être supporté est de quelques livres et davantage demandera l'usage de câbles de soutien plus haut mentionnés.

Comme autre équipement, l'appareil est muni figure 1 et figure 2 de crochets 17 soutenus accrochés en position fermés en 18 et pivotant vers l'extérieur de l'échelle sur le pivot 21 vers la butée d'arrêt 22 pour s'accrocher dans son encoche 19 et le tout afin d'offrir une niche 15 pour l'anse ou la gance de ou des chaudières retenues par un rebord 14.
et c'est idem des deux côtés de part et d'autres à droite et à
gauche de l'appareil et en débordement de l'échelle.
Éventuellement les barrures 11 pourraient aussi servir dans la même intention.

En figure# 2 et # 3 et # 4, un goujon 34 sert de barrure arrêt de la barre télescopique. Un autre système d'arrêt ainsi qu'une autre position de barrure peut être utilisé.

En figure # 1.1 et # 2.1, démontrent visuellement que l'appareil installé sur échelle permet le passage en tout temps. Le pied de l'utilisateur peut se poser sur 36 larréaû - s _ ..
du as et sur 38 barreau du haut.
n Les montants 25 peuvent évidemment être amincis.
L'appareil. peut être manipulé transféré d'étage en tout temps par une seule main en 23 (figure # 1 et 1.1) ainsi que le télescopique 6 rétracté ou déployé et utilisé ainsi que que le crochet gance 17 rétracté ou déployé et utilisé en tout temps lorsque le coffre plate forme est rétracté.

Cette manipulation demeure néanmoins possible mais plus difficile avec le coffre déployé et donc moins probable mais toujours d'une seule main.

Pour le transport il est totalement confortable de tenir tout l'appareil sous le bras par la main et ou les doigts en 23 avec le coffre plate forme vers l'extérieur doublement barré
par ses barrures 11 et en toute sécurité.

G l 7 v ; di i'0 Figure # 7 is a picture of the deployed open device and loaded front view diagonally.

Figures # 8, 9, 10 are pictures of the device showing various options and possibilities.

Description The illustrated apparatus includes (Figure # 1) an amount left vertical 25 and upright upright 25b, united by a lower cross member 13 and an upper cross member 2 Linked together these components form a rigid base but nevertheless and optionally adjustable by realigning the holes provided for this purpose before being put together (figure # 1 and # 6) 24 depending on the distance between two Adjacent bars would vary on some scales.

Figure # 6 gives a good idea if not make it obvious how the carcass is hung on a ladder. On this photo it should be noted that only one hand is enough in 26 to hold carcass, manipulate it, hang it on a ladder or uninstall. In another moment, the hand relies on 23 (figure 41) because the flat box is installed on the carcass of the apparatus.

The total height of the uprights 25 is greater (about 3 inches) at the vertical distance between two bars, s _.
adjacent to it, preventing it from going straight tilt back to the scale during the first 1. ~ i Installation of the device movement of 1 the scale that is to say press or push the device on two adjacent bars to align the entrance slots of the hooks on the back of the device. At this moment, the device being pressed down at 20 as well as simultaneously at the top in 7 at the same time as pushing the device on the bars of the top and bottom. In this sequence, the user only deals with aligning a single slot in one bar and the other slot automatically aligns in his own bar.

Following this first movement, the hooks are inserted simultaneously at the top 3 and simultaneously at the bottom 16 of the simple release of the device that nestles over its gravity bars.

Only a chronological sequence of movements intentional and directed in counter gravity, may detach the device. However always with one hand Two latches 11, used to secure the flat chest of the high 8 retracted, cling in 10 but to be possibly returned to the outside of the scale in tounant on the pivot 12 to release the flat chest in order to deploy it by tilting it on its hinges 1 towards the back, pressing it on the flat support edge 2 several inches wide to provide adequate support.

A telescopic arm 6 is retracted (Figure 91) so that: `
telescopic arm is deployed (Figure # 2) 3 This function is available as the flat chest forms either deployed or retracted.

A hook or stop button 5 (Figure 41) and (Figure # 2) holds the handle of a boiler figure # 4 in 5 and the same button retains similarly, square, crowbar, levels in 28 figure photo # 7.

Space 4 with its chassis 4.5 in (Figure # 1 and 2) are designed designed to support, anchor and nest different equipment such as a battery pack, a mini winch, a lamp telescopic goose neck dirigible. All so that the ladder user does not have to endure them own hands when it works but rather frees them hands to increase security.

The mini winch will be electric continuous and or manual and or the telescopic center of this assembly will be motorized by example by a wireless torpedo drill whose niche is possibly provided in 30 and or in 4 and 4.5 and or in a flat box form. Space for another bar telescopic is provided under the telescopic bar already shown.

In 13 (Figure 141 and 2) is a flat edge of attachment and support for a flat box in the lower part just like 2 is for the flat box superior.

This assembly is sufficient for the current use which e ~ iilL.il ~ J f ~ '7i it is not the perfect level or the extreme overload.

: t? t For these it is planned and designed to add cables and or retaining force chains as at 32 (Figure # 7) but it is an unlikely and optional event.

The flat box form 8 deployed by its hinges 1 can possibly be redeployed a second time by its hinges 9. this second platform being the lid of the trunk flat 8 when retracted. The weight that can to be supported is a few pounds and more will require the use of higher support cables mentioned.

As other equipment, the apparatus is provided with figure 1 and FIG. 2 of hooks 17 supported in position closed in 18 and swiveling out of the ladder on the pivot 21 to the stop stop 22 to hang in his notch 19 and all in order to offer a niche 15 for the handle or the gance of or boilers retained by a flange 14.
and it's the same on both sides on both sides right and left of the device and overflowing the scale.
Eventually the locks 11 could also be used in the same intention.

In figure # 2 and # 3 and # 4, a stud 34 serves as a stop sign of the telescopic bar. Another stop system as well that another lock position can be used.

In Figure # 1.1 and # 2.1, visually demonstrate that the device installed on ladder allows the passage in all time. The foot of the user can land on 36 larrede - s _ ..
of the ace and on the top bar.
not The amounts can obviously be thinned.
The camera. can be manipulated transferred from floor to whole time by one hand in 23 (Figure # 1 and 1.1) as well as the telescopic 6 retracted or deployed and used as well as the slip hook 17 retracted or deployed and used in any time when the flat chest is retracted.

This manipulation is nevertheless possible but more difficult with the chest deployed and therefore less likely but always with one hand.

For transportation it is totally comfortable to hold everything the device under the arm by the hand and or fingers in 23 with the boxed chest outwards doubly barred by its locks 11 and safely.
