Definitions
- the present invention relates to work platforms, used for example in the building industry, or for installation and repair work, e.g. in water or electrical services or in erection work with large machines.
- Work platforms of this type have been made with a supporting structure incorporating a system of arms, either * in the form of a parallelogram linkage sytem or as scissors.
- the work platform is movable along a vertical mast or guide means, attached to a basic frame.
- the vertical movement of the work platform is provided by machinery, most often electrically driven.
- the present invention has the object of providing a very simple and cheap work platform, primarily intended for erection, installation and repair work and for being put to use in small building jobs.
- This object is achieved in a very simple manner by forming the work platform to coact with a anoeuverable lifting machine and to have a platform which is movable vertically.
- the platform At its first end the platform has a vertical support with guide means adapted for guiding vertical movement at this end, and has at its second end support an'd carrier means for coaction with machine-driven, vertically movable lifting means on the lifting machine, e.g. the tynes of a fork-lift trucko
- a lifting means for the platform comprises two carrier means, which are variable as to their lengths, the first carrier means carrying the first end of the platform and being arranged between the latter and the top of the guide means, while the second carrier means is arranged between the second end of the platform and an attachment arranged under the lowest position of the platform, this attachment being mounted on the lifting machine carrying the movable lifti,
- OMPI means means.
- the carrier means are so connected to each other that for platform movement the second means is shortened just as much as the first means is extended, the platform being parallel-displaced upwards. For the opposite variation in length of the carrier means, the platform is moved downwards.
- the entire work platform with supports is designated by the numeral 10 in the figure, while 11 designates a fork-lif truck.
- the work platform comprises a platform 20, a vertical support means 30 along which the platform 20 is vertically movable, and a lifting or operating means 40 for raising and lowering the platform 20.
- the platform 20 comprises a longitudinal beam structure 21, a walkway 22 and surrounding ..railing 23, comprising post and horizontal handrails.
- the platform 20 At its first end, to the left in the drawing, the platform 20 is carried by a vertical suppor means 30, described in more detail below.
- the platform i-s carried by the tynes 12 on the fork-lift truck 11.
- the tynes 12 can be inserted in tubes or channels 27 and be locked thereto, e.g. with the aid of through-holes and bolts or clamping means.
- a beam 27 is arranged for each tyne on the fork-lift truck 11 and the beams are connected together into a framed structure.
- Said structure has brackets 26 carrying a shaft 25, which also coacts with brackets 24 on the frame 21 of th platform 20 at its second or right end.
- the platform 20 and the truck 11 are thus articulated in relation to each other about the shaft 25 0 When the work platform is not in use, it rests on the ground via the support means 30 and the beams 27
- the support means 30, carrying the first or left end of the platform 20, comprises one or more vertical tubes or beams 31, which can slide in guides 28 on the platform.20.
- the beam or beams 31 are preferably unrotatably connected to the platform 20, but are disposed for movement substantially at right angles to the platform.
- the support 31 has at its upper end a carrier structure 32 for a rotatable pulley 45, which is part of the operating means 40.
- At its lower end the support 31 is provided with a castor wheel or wheels 33, pivotable about vertical shaft stubs 34.
- a cable is denoted by the numeral 41, one end portion 41' of which is fixed to an attachment 42 on the downward, front end part of the fork-lift truck.
- the cable portion 41" is taken upwards and round a rotatable cable pulley 43, which is arranged on the shaft 25 or in the vicinity thereof. From the cable pulley 43, the cable 41 extends along the platform 20 to the first or left end thereof, and to a rotatable cable pulley 44, which is mounted on the under side of the platform 20.
- the cable.41 is taken with a substantially, vertical portion 41" over a rotatable cable pulley 45 mounted on the upper end of the support 31 and thereafter downwards outside the platform 20 and outside the support 31 to an attachment point 46 on said support.
- the attachment point 46 is arranged at one end of a turnbuckle 47, the other end of which having anattachment point 48 rigidly connected to the lowest portion - 0 f the support 31.
- the platform 20 is moved upwards and downwards by raising or lowering the- tynes 12 of the fork-lift truck 11.
- the second end of the platform 20 is raised via the framed structure with the parts 25-27, carried by the tynes 12 of the fork-lift truck 11.
- the coacting structure 24 on the platform 20 is also lifted by the intermediary of the shaft 25.
- the portion 41* of the cable 40 will r be extended by the cable 41 under the platform being pulled out to the right or second end of said platform. This movement signifies that a corresponding length of the cable is taken away from the cable portion 41", which thus becomes shorter. It will be noted that the extension of the cable portion 41* to the shortening of the cable portion 41".
- the turnbuckle 47 is rotated so that the attach ment point 46 is moved downwards.
- the cable portion 41" wil thus be pulled upwards round the pulley 45 and be shortened thereby lifting the first or left end of the platform so th the latter can be adjusted with the same height at both end If, instead, the first or left end of the platform 20 is higher than the second end, the turnbuckle 47 is rotated so that the cable pulley 44 and thereby the first or left end the platform 20 is lowered to the desired position.
- An adjustment of the horizontal attitude of the platform in th way described results, for example, in that the platform 20 can be brought to a horizontal attitude and subsequently be moved upwards and downwards without this attitude being altered even if the substructure is such that the castor wheel or wheels 33 are somewhat lower or higher than their normal position in relation to the wheels on the fork-lift truck 11.
Abstract
Une plateforme de travail pouvant monter et descendre agit en association avec une machine de levage (11). Une plateforme mobile verticalement (20) possede a une extremite un support vertical (30) avec des moyens de guidage (28, 31) pour porter et guider le mouvement vertical de ladite extremite, et a son autre extremite des moyens de support et porteurs (27) agissant en cooperation avec des moyens de levage mobiles verticalement entraines mecaniquement, p.ex. les fourches (12) d'un elevateur a fourche (11). La plateforme est elevee et abaissee par un dispositif de levage (40) avec deux moyens porteurs variables en longueur. Le premier moyen porteur (41'') porte ladite extremite (44) de la plateforme de travail (10) et il est dispose entre ladite extremite (44) et la partie superieure (32) de la structure de support (30). Le second moyen porteur (41') est dispose entre l'autre extremite (24, 43) de la plateforme et une fixation (42), sous la position la plus basse de la plateforme (20), et il est fixe a la machine de levage (11) portant les moyens de levage mobiles (12). Les moyens porteurs (41', 41'') sont relies entre eux de telle maniere que, en vue du mouvement de la plateforme (20), le second moyen porteur (41'') est raccourci autant que le premier moyen porteur (41') est allonge, assurant ainsi le deplacement parallele vers le haut de la plateforme (20), et en faisant varier inversement les longueurs des moyens porteurs (41', 41''), la plateforme (20) est deplacee vers le bas. Les variations de longueur du second moyen porteur (41') sont obtenus grace aux moyens de levage (12) de la machine de levage (11).An up and down work platform acts in conjunction with a lifting machine (11). A vertically movable platform (20) has at one end a vertical support (30) with guide means (28, 31) for carrying and guiding the vertical movement of said end, and at its other end support and carrier means ( 27) acting in cooperation with mechanically driven vertically movable lifting means, eg the forks (12) of a forklift (11). The platform is raised and lowered by a lifting device (40) with two supporting means variable in length. The first carrier means (41 '') carries said end (44) of the work platform (10) and is disposed between said end (44) and the upper part (32) of the support structure (30). The second carrier means (41 ') is placed between the other end (24, 43) of the platform and a fixing (42), under the lowest position of the platform (20), and it is fixed to the machine lifting device (11) carrying the mobile lifting means (12). The carrying means (41 ', 41' ') are interconnected in such a way that, in view of the movement of the platform (20), the second carrying means (41' ') is shortened as much as the first carrying means (41 ') is lengthened, thus ensuring the parallel movement upwards of the platform (20), and by inversely varying the lengths of the carrying means (41', 41 ''), the platform (20) is moved downwards. The variations in length of the second carrier means (41 ') are obtained thanks to the lifting means (12) of the lifting machine (11).
