Definitions
- the invention relates to a semi-fixed covering for an automobile-carrying wagon, a covering which comprises covering sections which can be moved outwards from the center line of the wagon in order to provide space for walking and for opening automobile doors in a loaded wagon.
- this construction In no case can this construction be applied in such a manner that it would, unaltered, be applicable to both single-decked and multiple-decked freight wagons. Furthermore, the construction is highly complicated, heavy and difficult to use, requiring a number of operating stages during both opening and closing.
- the object of the present invention is thus to provide for an automobile-carrying wagon a covering and its transfer mechanism, enabling the doors of automobiles loaded in the wagon to be opened without hindrance, increasing space in the wagon during loading and for purposes of getting off and on the wagon and for facilitating the installation of wheel chocks. It is also an object of the invention to provide a construction of this type which as such produces the results described above, regardless of whether the automobiles are loaded on one deck or two decks, the increasing of space also meaning the increasing of vertical clearance. It is a further object of the invention to provide a covering structure of this type, which enables the discharge of automobile exhaust gases and the supply of light from outside to both the upper driving deck and the lower driving deck. It is a further object of the invention to provide a covering structure of this type, which is simple as well as easy and light to operate, so that the drivers of the automobiles can, when necessary, move the covering themselves without any specific auxiliary tools.
- the covering according to the invention is characterized in what is disclosed in the characterizing clause of Claim 1. It can be deemed to be the most important advantage of the invention that it is applicable to being used in an automobile-carrying wagon in which the upper transport deck can be adjusted to different heights or be removed, additional clearance thus being always available regardless of the manner of use or the type of the automobiles to be transported. It is thus a further advantage of the invention that the construction is simple and reliable in operation, as well as easy to use.
- Figure 1 depicts generally two automobile-carrying wagons, partly as a cutaway.
- Figure 2 is a presentation of the principle of the covering structure according to the invention, in a cross section of the automobile-carrying wagon.
- Figure 3 depicts the structure of Figure 2, the automobile-carrying wagon being in another operating state.
- Figure 1 depicts two automobile-carrying wagons in which the semi-fixed covering according to the invention has been used; the covering of one automobile-carrying wagon is divided into sections, in this case into four covering sections, i.e. sections 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d in one wagon and respectively into sections 2e-h in the other.
- Each covering section 2a-d or 2e-h is in itself fixed in construction, i.e. each covering section, when shifted, moves as one unit, without changing its shape.
- the covering sections 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2f, 2g are depicted in the opened position, and the covering section 2e, as well as the cutaway section 2h, not shown, in the closed position.
- Each covering section 2 is transferred, according to the invention, between its closed position and its opened position by means of pivot-arm structures 3 and 4, which are at a distance from each other.
- Figures 2 and 3 depict cross sections of the automobile-carrying wagon according to the invention in such a manner that the continuous line depicts the sections 2 in the closed position, i.e. they correspond to a cross-section through B-B in Figure 1, of the state of its right side.
- the dot-dash line for its part depicts the sections 2 in the open position, which corresponds to a cross-section through A-A in Figure 1.
- the pivot arms 3 and 4, secured to a column, arch or the like 5, are located at a distance H1 from each other, the distance being parallel to the longitudinal wall 7 of the wagon.
- pivot arms 3 and 4 are both hinged to this wagon frame part 5 by first hinges 9 and respectively 10 and to the covering section by second hinges 11 and respectively 12, in such a manner that all of the pivot axes 9', 10', 11', 12' corresponding to these four hinges are perpendicular to the said distance H1.
- the pivot axes 9'-12' are thus perpendicular to the plane of the figure.
- pivot-arm pairs 3, 4 Because of the length of the covering section 2 it is in general necessary to provide at least two such pivot-arm pairs 3, 4 at a distance L, paral lel to the longitudinal center line P of the wagon, from each other, for example in the vicinity of the end edges 17 of the covering sections, in order that the load be evenly distributed and that no point loads or excessively high moments be produced in the covering section or the wagon frame.
- pivot axes 9', 11', corresponding to the hinge structures 9 and 11, of the first pivot arms 3 must in each covering section be mutually aligned, and respectively the pivot axes 10', 12', corresponding to the hinges 10 and 12, of the second pivot arms 4 must be mutually aligned, i.e. all the four hinge axes 9', 10' 11', 12' must be parallel.
- the distance H2 between the hinging points 11 and 12 of the pivot arms 3 and 4 in the covering section 2 is equal to the previously mentioned distance H1 between the hinges 9 and 10 in the frame structure 5 of the wagon. Also, it is advantageous if all the lengths R of the pivot arms 3, 4 are equal, in which case the hinge distances H1, H2 in the frame and in the covering section, together with the pivot arms, will always form a parallelogram having constant sides.
- the mechanism according to the invention functions as follows:
- the pivot arms 3 and 4 on the right side of the wagon move counterclockwise about the hinge axes 9', 10' of the hinges 9 and 10 in the wagon frame, and simultaneously, according to the laws of mechanics, the pivot arms will pivot clockwise about the hinge axes 11', 12' of their hinges 11 and 12 in the covering section, over the same angle a as they move counterclockwise.
- the arms 3 and 4 concerned and the distances H1 and H2 form a parallelogram throughout the duration of the pivoting movement, in which parallelogram the distance H1 in the frame will thus remain stationary and H2 will move away from it, and parallel to it, while the arms 3 and 4 pivot.
- the covering section will retain its position, unturned, throughout the transfer movement, thus implementing a so-called parallel transfer.
- the first hinges 9 and 10 are mounted in the frame part 5 in such a manner that their hinge axes 9', 10' are in the closed position close to the side surface 15 of the covering section wall 7, the pivot arms 3 and 4 being located in an approximately vertical position and parallel to the covering section 15 when the covering section is in the closed position.
- the advantageous extent of the pivoting movement is approx. 90°, the pivot arms 3 and 4 projecting, in the open position of the covering section, directly to the sides, i.e. in the case of Figures 2 and 3 horizontally.
- the covering section 2 has moved outwards to the distance of the length R of the pivot arms and upwards over the same length R, both lateral and vertical clearance having thus been produced in the wagon.
- the pivoting angle ⁇ is smaller than 90°, more lateral clearance is formed than vertical clearance, but if the pivoting angle is considerably larger than 90°, proportionately more vertical clearance than lateral clearance is formed.
- the desired shape and extent of the additional clearance can always be obtained by selecting a suitable length R for the pivot arms 3 and 4 and by locating the frame-side hinges 9 and 10 in a suitable relation to the covering section and respectively the covering-side hinges 11 and 12 at predetermined points.
- the hinges 9-12 may in principle be located anywhere inside the permitted outline of the wagon, as long as the distance H1 between the hinges 9 and 10 and the distance H2 between the hinges 11 and 12 are equal, and the pivot arms 3 and 4 are mutually equal.
- the covering section makes, instead of a parallel transfer, also a pivoting movement, in which case each of the different edges of the covering section will move over a different distance
- the arms 3 and 4 may be made of different lengths and/or the distances H1 and H2 may be made different.
- the length of the arms and/or the distances may also be made adjustable in effect.
- the opposite covering sections 2a and 2c, 2b and 2d, etc. are arranged asymmetrically, and thus also the adjacent covering sections 2a and 2b, 2c and 2d, etc., to be of different sizes and/or asymmetrically located in the longitudinal direction of the wagon, in such a manner that on the different sides of the wagon the joints 13 and respectively 14 between successive covering sections will come at different points and the possible additional columns or the like 5 on the different sides of the wagon will also come at different points, as shown in Figure 1.
- This makes it possible that, regardless of the parking site of an automobile, a door on one side of the automobile is always out of alignment with the frame support structure 5, and the door can thus be opened.
- the pivot axes 9', 10', 11' and 12' are horizontal, but they can also be positioned vertically, in which case the covering sections will move in the horizontal direction. It is also conceivable that a covering section is divided in the vertical direction into sections for the upper and lower decks, in which case the pivot axes in these sections could be mutually parallel or non-parallel, i.e. horizontal or vertical. It is conceivable even to use inclined pivot-axes.
- the opening of the covering sections according to the invention may take place in a number of different ways.
- One possibility is to arrange, for example, an arm extension from the hinge 9 in the lower pivot arm 3, a counterbalance spring or alternatively a counterweight being attached to the wagon frame by this arm extension.
- the arm 3 and its extension constitute a double-arm lever which, by means of spring force or respectively weight keeps the covering section in the open position and eases its opening.
- the covering section is turned against the spring force, and with a suitable design the spring force will lose its opening effect when the covering section reaches its closed position.
- the section itself is handled by using handles or the like, fastened to the covering section.
- a locking mechanism is to be provided in the covering sections, at least for the duration of transportation, in order to prevent inadvertent opening, but this mechanism is not described here in greater detail.
