  • the support platform of the structure 112 comprises a certain number, in this case four, of pads sliding fixed 116 extending parallel along the longitudinal axis of the chassis 5 of the truck 1 and allowing the lower span 3 to slide during its translation relative to the support structure 112. Stops 117 integral with the structure 112 are provided respectively at the ends of the sliding shoes 116 in order to prevent the lower span 3 from hitting the cab 4 of the truck 1 when sque the front of span 3 is raised.
  • the front end of the lower span 3 rests on a lifting device 118 comprising two support plates 119 approximately in the shape of an inverted T fixed by their heads respectively to the side walls of the corset beam 6 at the locations one of which is designated by 120.
  • the ends of the legs of the support plates 119 support an axis 121 disposed transversely to the longitudinal axis of the chassis 5 and serving as pivoting for a part forming a lifting arm 122 in the form of an approximately isosceles triangle plate with lattice beams, the base of which comprises two stirrups 123 for supporting respectively two spaced transverse rollers 124 on which the lower span 3 bears.
  • the pivoting of the part forming the lifting arm 122 is controlled by two lateral jacks 125, the rods of which are connected swivel under the part 122 and the bodies are fixed to the two side walls of the pou be corset 6 by means of fixing plates 126 fastened to locations, one of which bears the reference 127 in FIG. 25.
  • Figures 3 and 4 show the locations of the support plates 119 and the control cylinders 125 such that the main beam 13 can move in translation without being hindered by, or interfere with any other element of the system.
  • Two legs 127 for the lateral stabilization of the truck 1 are hingedly attached around a vertical axis to the two side walls of the corset beam 6 respectively by means of two fixing plates 128 secured to the corset beam 6 at locations, one of which is indicated at 129 in FIG. 25.
  • Each foot 127 has an L-shaped part 130, the large leg of which carries, at its end opposite to the articulated leg to the plate 128, a vertical cylinder 131, the rod 132 of which is hingedly attached about a horizontal axis to a base 133 bearing on the ground. The connection of the rod 132 to the base 133 takes place by a yoke 134.
  • the truck 1 transports the two spans to the place where the breach B is to be crossed and approaches it in reverse to the location shown in Figure 31 (A).
  • the lower span 3 rests on the support structure 112 and the lifting device 122 while the upper span 2, still in engagement with the launching beam 50, rests on the lower span 3 due to the loosening of the pressure in the hydraulic cylinders 18, 40 orienting the tilting plate 31, it being understood that during the launching phase, the pressurization of the cylinders 40 slightly raises the upper span 2 which then rests entirely on the launching beam 50 and does not is thus more in contact with the lower span 3.
  • the feet 127 for lateral stabilization are put in place and the main beam 13 is moved relative to the corset beam 6 towards the breach B by supplying the motor 8 which rotates the motor pinion 11 in gear with the rack 16.
  • the main beam 13 drives with it the upper span 2 resting on the launching beam 50 as shown in Figure 31 (B).
  • the beam 13 then occupies an extension position of the chassis 5 increasing the lever arm for resumption of the forces resulting from the later cantilevered positions of the span and of the launching beam 50.
  • the anti-tilt foot is placed in a vertical position by successively supplying the hydraulic cylinders 48 and 42, as shown in FIG. 31 (C).
  • FIG. 31 (D) shows the span 2 moved to a position where its rear end is substantially perpendicular to the rear end of the launching beam 50.
  • the launching beam 50 is then moved relative to the tilting plate 31 towards the breach B by feeding the motor 54 which drives the motor pinion 55 in engagement with the rack 53 of the beam 50.
  • This movement is carried out up to the door position -to launch false beam 50 shown in Figure 31 (E), which also shows that the front spouts 74 of the span 2 were deployed by first supplying the cylinder 76 which moves transversely in opposite directions the two axes 75, whose square end pieces engage in the sleeves 90, then by supplying the electric motor 89 which simultaneously rotates the two axes 75 so that the two chains or belts transmissions C1, C2 tilt the two forks 103 from the vertical position to the lying position.
  • the jack 18 is then supplied so as to pull the chains or cables 22 in a direction making the tilting plate 31 pivot in the counterclockwise direction around the pivot axis 30.
  • the tilting of the plate 31 orients the span 2 as shown in Figure 31 (F).
  • the cylinders 125 of the device 118 are also supplied to rotate the part forming the lifting arm 122 anti-clockwise and thus raise the front of the lower span 3 to a position where the latter is in extension of the span upper inclined 2.
  • the electric motor 69 is powered so that the drive pinions 70 move the upper span 2 relative to the beam 50 towards the cab 4 of the truck 1. This displacement allows the coupling and locking of the span 2 to the span 3 by engagement locking axes of span 2 to span 3 by engagement of the locking axes 110 of span 3 and locking axes 109 of span 3 in the locking hooks 110 of span 2.
  • This configuration is shown in Figure 31 (G).
  • the large span T thus formed is then moved on the launching beam 50 towards the breach B at a position where the transverse median plane of the span T is approximately coincident with that of the beam 50 as shown in FIG. 31 (H ).
  • the beam 50 and span T assembly is brought to a substantially horizontal position as shown in FIG. 31 (I) by tilting the plate 31 clockwise using the jack 18, the rod 20 of which is outlet to a corresponding release position of the chains or retaining cables 22.
  • the plate 31 is then tilted clockwise using the jack 18 and the chains or cables 22 until the cantilevered end of the span T comes to bear on the edge of the breach B opposite that on the side of truck 1 as shown in Figure 31 (K).
  • the launching beam 50 is then slightly displaced on the plate 31 towards the cab 4 of the truck 1 so as to release the two pairs of rollers 57 from the guide rails 107 as shown in FIG. 31 (L).
  • the launching beam 50 is tilted completely clockwise by tilting the plate 31 using the jack 18 and chains or cables 22 in order to bring the end of the span T in contact with the edge of the breach B located on the side of the truck, as shown in Figure 31 (M).
  • the anti-tilt foot 42, 43 is then folded back in the stowed position in the main beam 13 which is brought back to the transport storage position on the corset beam 6, which has the effect of releasing the pairs of rollers 61 from the span 50 guide rails 107 of the span T as shown in Figure 31 (N).
  • the span 50 is then brought back to a horizontal position by tilting anti-clockwise the plate 31 and is moved on the plate 31 to the cab 4 of the truck 1 to be in the transport position shown in Figure 31 (O ).
  • the span T is thus deposited on the breach B to allow vehicles, such as tanks, military trucks or other motorized vehicles to cross the breach B.
  • Figures 32 (A) to 32 (H) show the different phases allowing the removal of only the upper span 2 on the breach B.
  • the principle of removal of this span is identical to that described with reference to Figures 31 (A) - (O), whose phases (A) to (D) have not been repeated in FIG. 31.
  • the phases of assembly of the two upper 2 and lower 3 spans have been omitted. It is therefore not necessary to describe in detail the phases shown in Figures 32 (A) - (H) which are self-explanatory.
  • Figures 33 (A) - (N) show the principle of depositing the lower span 3 on a second breach B after the upper span (2) has been previously deposited on a first breach B or on the second breach to allow the passage of it for a larger number of vehicles.
  • the launching beam 50 is moved into a launching position cantilevered relative to the main beam 13, as is shown in Figure 33 (A).
  • the beam 50 and the lower span 3 are aligned by tilting the plate 31 anticlockwise using the jack 18 and the cables or retaining chains 22 and lifting the front of the span 3 by the lifting device 118.
  • the launching beam 50 is then moved on the tilting plate 31 towards the cab 4 of the truck 1 and therefore towards the storage position, which has the effect of engaging the rollers 57, 61 of the beam 50 in the guide rails 106, 107 of the span 3 (see figure 33 (B), (C).
  • the main beam 13 is moved relative to the corset beam 6 towards the breach B by driving with it the span 3 supported by the launching beam 50, as shown in Figure 33 (D).
  • Figure 33 (E) shows the positioning of the anti-tilt foot 42, 43 while Figure 33 (F) shows the beam 50 and span 3 assembly in horizontal upright position using the plate 31 controlled by the jack 18 and the chains or cables 22.
  • the beam 50 and span 3 assembly is moved in translation on the plate 31 towards the breccia B to a cantilevered launch position as shown in FIG. 33 (G).
  • the system according to the invention described above is of relatively simple structure and operation compared to the system described in EP-0 374 019 in the name of the applicant.
  • the corset beam 6 supports the entire system for transporting spans and removing it, it is the only element to be adapted on a truck to allow this assembly to be mounted on another truck. identical structure. This feature makes it easy to equip all standard trucks that can be used to transport and remove spans.
