CS205206B1 - Carrier of cylindrical bodies,especially of pressure gass bottle - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a carrier of cylindrical bodies, in particular of cylinders for compressed or liquid gas, such as oxygen, acetylene, hydrogen, etc.

So far, in practice, manual handling of cylinders without any handling means prevails. Due to the considerable weight of the cylinder, it is a stressful and particularly dangerous handling, which damages both the cylinder itself and the floors on which the cylinders roll. Workers are easily injured by such handling.

For long-distance transport, eg between operations, a single-axle handling truck is known for carrying one or two bottles. To place the bottle on this known trolley, the bottle must first be tilted, the trolley under the foot of the bottle and the bottle tipped onto the trolley. The same operations in reverse order must be performed when unloading the bottle from the trolley. During transport on the trolley, the bottle is in an inclined to horizontal position.

For certain types of handling, such as lifting the bottle, transporting over obstacles, stairs, picking up vehicles, etc., the known forklift cannot be used at all. Because the bottles are distributed in a number of workplaces, it is uneconomical to equip each workstation with a forklift. The disadvantage of handling on the trolley is the necessary inclined to horizontal position of the bottle during handling, in which the liquid gas is blackened, which causes technological difficulties.

These drawbacks are largely eliminated by the support of the cylindrical bodies, in particular the gas cylinders according to the invention, which consists of two identical half-rings provided with radially bent feet at their ends. The half-rings with the feet form a substantially loose bottle collar. The opposing, mirror-like beads of the half-rings are mutually movable and pivotably connected to each other by rigid couplings, each of the half-rings having a grip for exerting external force on the carrier.

It is advantageous if the shoe couplings are formed by a screw with a nut, which enables easy disassembly of the carrier or the carrier. Replacing the faulty carrier half.

For manual handling, it is preferable that the handle has the shape of a handle. For handling by lifting means, such as a crane, forklift, etc., it is preferable that the handle has a shape suitable for hanging, such as an eye, hook, etc.

For the possibility of handling both manual and mechanized, ie. without inter-operative manipulation, it is preferred that the handle has both a handle and an eye-or hook.

The carrier according to the invention allows any manipulation of the bottles, both manual and mechanized. Handling takes place in a vertical position so that the contents of the bottle are not clarified. Attaching and removing the carrier is easy, safe, does not require more space. The carrier is simple in design and manufacture. Acquisition of the carrier represents minimal cost, which enables to equip the carrier with all necessary workplaces, especially even temporary workplaces, eg in the field, on assemblies, etc. .

One possible embodiment of the carrier according to the invention is shown in the accompanying drawing, wherein FIG. 1 shows a view of the carrier in a working position and FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the carrier for manual handling.

The carrier consists of two identical half-rings 1 provided with radial feet 2. The half-rings are mirror-oriented to each other so that they form essentially a sleeve of the body to be lifted, e.g. a bottle. The feet 2 are provided with holes for a rigid coupling, for example a screw with a nut, wherein the diameter of the holes 3 substantially exceeds the diameter of the screw, so that the half-rings are guided slidingly and swivelly on the screw. Each of the half rings is provided with a handle 2, eg a U-shaped handle. The handle is, for example, welded to the half ring.

The function of the carrier according to the invention consists in sliding the carrier from above onto the bottle into a position suitable for carrying, the two halves being pressed perpendicularly to the surface of the bottle and lifted by the handles 2. Lifting the handles 2 causes the upper edge of the half-rings J. to buckle against the bottle and the screw in the feet of the 2 half-rings to buckle i ·

The carriers according to the invention can be used in all plants where compressed or liquid gas cylinders are used, especially in warehouses, welding workshops, laboratories, in hospitals in operating theaters, repair shops, etc.
