  • the invention relates to a transport and / or handling device for containers or the like. with a plurality of coupling claws, preferably approximately triangular coupling claws with points pointing upwards, each of which has a substantially flat rear side and a convex spherically curved front side which cross-sectionally converges with the rear side at the sides formed by the legs of the triangle, and with about pliers like locking pieces interacting with the coupling claws.
  • a plurality of coupling claws preferably approximately triangular coupling claws with points pointing upwards, each of which has a substantially flat rear side and a convex spherically curved front side which cross-sectionally converges with the rear side at the sides formed by the legs of the triangle, and with about pliers like locking pieces interacting with the coupling claws.
  • Lifting and tipping devices with coupling claws of the preferred type are known, for example, from EP-OS 235 784, DE-GMS 85 19 096 and DE-OS 36 39 861. These coupling claws interact with approximately complementary receiving pockets for refuse containers and have proven themselves as self-centering receiving members.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a transport and / or handling device of the type specified at the outset with which containers of all types, in particular large containers, can be easily handled, loaded and transported.
  • this object is achieved in a transport and / or handling device of the generic type in that two coupling claws are arranged on a crossmember of a lifting carriage, that the crossmember carrying the coupling claw is guided in a longitudinally displaceable manner in vertical guides of the lifting carriage and by a pressure medium piston-cylinder.
  • Unit is movable and that the lifting carriage is provided in its lower region below the cross member with at least one fork or plate reaching under the bottom of the container and in the guides of the vertical support of the mast or the like. can be moved by a drive, for example a hydraulic piston-cylinder unit.
  • the device according to the invention can be coupled in a simple manner to a container by retracting the forks or the support plate under the bottom of the container and then lifting the cross member in such a way that the coupling claw comes into coupling engagement with the complementary receiving pocket of the container and the forks or support plate lie under the floor of the container to support it.
  • the mast can be the mast of a forklift or other industrial truck.
  • the forklift trucks or industrial trucks can be front or side loading stacking vehicles.
  • containers can also be used in container racks, for example.
  • the mast can also be permanently installed, for example, at a container handling area.
  • the mast can also be arranged pivotably so that the container coupled to the lifting carriage can also be tilted for the purpose of emptying it.
  • a container that can be transported and handled by the transport and handling device according to the invention is provided with two receiving pockets arranged on one side at a distance from one another below the stiffened upper container edge, complementary to the coupling claws and open at the bottom, and is distinguished according to the invention in that at least one carrier running parallel to one side of the container is attached below its bottom, the distance of which from the container side wall corresponds to the length of the fork or plate.
  • a container adapted in this way can be coupled in a particularly simple manner to the transport and / or handling device according to the invention in that the forks or the support plate are inserted under the container until they abut the carrier, and then in the carriage of the Cross member is extended with the clutch claws in such a way that the clutch claws engage in the receiving pockets.
  • the fork tines or support plate expediently merge into a foot region under a curvature, the contour of which roughly corresponds to the curved region connecting a side wall to the bottom of the container.
  • This adaptation of the forks or plate to the shape of the container favors the form-fitting coupling of the container to the transport and / or handling device.
  • the task or the like in a transport and / or handling device for containers With several coupling claws, preferably approximately triangular coupling claws, each of which has a substantially flat rear side and a convexly spherically curved front side, which in cross section converges at an acute angle to the rear side formed by the legs of the triangle, according to the invention solved in that a supporting frame on opposite spars is provided with at least one each by a lever, the coupling at its lower free end claw wears.
  • a transport and / or handling device can be used, for example, as loading equipment for so-called spreaders, as are known, for example, from DE-OS 33 15 889.
  • the support frame which is expediently provided in its four corners with eyelets for attaching suspension cables or support chains, can be provided on opposite sides with one or two coupling claw-carrying levers.
  • containers can be easily picked up and transferred to container transfer stations, for example for sea or rail traffic, or to transshipment points for waste containers.
  • the levers are preferably designed to be pivotable so that they can be guided past the receiving pockets without hindrance when the supporting frame is lowered and can then be pivoted into a position from which they can be lifted when lifting Grip the support frame in the receiving pockets.
  • the containers can be provided on opposite sides with one or two receiving pockets below their stiffening upper edge.
  • the lifting frame 1 consists of side supports 2, 3, which are connected to one another by cross beams 4, 5 to form a frame.
  • the lifting frame 1 is provided on its rear side with two upper and lower bearing pieces 6, 7, in which rollers 8 are mounted, which run in the vertical supports 9 of the lifting frame consisting of U-profiles. The rollers 8 are guided between the inner flanks of the legs of the lifting profiles 9.
  • the vertical supports 9 of the lifting carriage 1 are provided with guides 11 which are approximately hammer-head-shaped in cross section and which are engaged by correspondingly shaped guide pieces 12 which are fastened on the rear side of a cross member 13 which carries approximately triangular coupling claws 14 in the region of its ends.
  • These Coupling claws 14 have flat outer support surfaces 15 and spherically curved rear sides 16, which can have approximately the shape of a cone section with a cutting surface parallel to the cone axis.
  • the cross member 13 is connected in the center to the piston rod 17 of a hydraulic cylinder 18, which in turn is fastened to the lower cross member 5 of the lifting carriage.
  • the lifting carriage 1 is provided at its lower end with fork-shaped prongs 20 which merge into foot pieces 21 via roundings.
  • the lifting carriage 1 is displaceable in the guides of the mast 9 by a hydraulic piston-cylinder unit 22.
  • locking levers 26 are pivotally mounted in upstanding bearing pieces 25, which are pivotable by pressure medium piston-cylinder units 27. In the coupled state of the containers 30, in which the coupling claws 14 engage in the complementary coupling pockets 31, these locking levers 26 lie on the circumferential upper reinforcing edge 32 of the containers.
  • the containers 30 are provided below their bottom 33 with supports 35 running parallel to a container side wall 34.
  • the carrier 35 consists of a double-T profile.
  • the forks 20 of the lifting carriage 1 travel under the container 30 until they abut the support profile 35.
  • the hydraulic piston-cylinder unit 17, 18 is extended so that the clutch claws 14 move into the receiving pockets 31.
  • the locking lever 26 is pivoted onto the container edge 32, so that the container 30 is positively coupled to the lifting carriage 1.
  • a rectangular lifting frame 40 is provided, which is provided in its corners with eyelets 41 for hanging in ropes or chains.
  • 1 or 2 carrying levers 46 are pivotably mounted on the bars 43, 44.
  • the support levers 46 are connected to coupling claws 14 at their lower ends via spacers 47.
  • These coupling claws 14 are complementary to the receiving pockets 31, which are arranged below the container rim 32 on the side walls of the container trough.
  • the receiving pockets 31 fastened to opposite side walls of the container 45 can be seen in FIG. 6 in plan view and top view.
  • the support levers 46 are designed in the manner shown in FIG. 7 as two-armed levers, the piston rods of pressure medium piston-cylinder units 46 being articulated to the shorter lever arms projecting from the support frame 40, the cylinders of which are articulated with the support frame in the manner shown 40 are connected.
  • the support levers 50 have angled support arms 51 which are extended beyond the coupling claws 14 and which are provided at the end with support plates 52 which are supported against the side walls of the container when they are lifted. Carrying levers of this type are particularly suitable if the containers 45 to be handled are only provided with two receiving pockets.
