  • the tenons and yokes ensuring the connections between elements are oriented at 45 °, relative to the adjacent faces of these elements, and thus extend outside the square base section of said elements.
  • pivots provided with splicing means adapted to mast elements, the corner members of which consist of angle profiles.
  • Such a device, applied to the assembly of a pivot implies that for a pivot whose overall square section has one side of 2.5 meters, the mast cannot have a square section of side greater than 2.5 meters.
  • FIG. 18 Another known connecting device between the fixed pivot and the tower crane mast is illustrated in the European patent application No. 0659678 ( Figures 18 and 19).
  • the connection is made here by means of tenons and yokes, parallel to the lateral faces of the mast, and joined by horizontal connecting axes which are also parallel to the faces side of the mast.
  • This device constitutes a conventional splicing, intended for resume efforts in the direction of the members, not efforts deported.
  • it is a connection between parts of the same size, and not of a different size.
  • connection between the fixed pivot and the element upper mast is made by four identical splints, located each angle of the pivot, in the plane of the diagonals of the horizontal section square of the pivot.
  • the overall dimension of the pivot bars is included at inside the maximum size allowed for ordinary road transport or for transport by container of the “platform” type, ie 2.5 meters.
  • the sides of the mast element being located inside the volume delimited by the lateral faces of this element, the pivot can be assembled to a mast element whose horizontal section is a square of side greater than 2.5 meters.
  • Each splicing of the device, object of the invention mechanically constitutes a neutral fiber connection off-center, transmitting the forces between the pivot including the section side is equal for example to 2.5 meters, and the mast whose side of the section is greater than 2.5 meters.
  • each splint of the pivot is fixed by welding under a corner area of the horizontal plate upper, generally square, of the pivot.
  • each splint of the pivot is also fixed by welding to the adjacent areas of vertical reinforcements, located on the four sides of the pivot, under its plate upper, and connected to the shell of said pivot.
  • the pivot comprises, at each of its four angles, a single splint located in the vertical plane passing through the diagonal of the square section of the pivot, while are fixed, on the upper part of each corner member or post of the mast element, two fishplates symmetrical parallel to the vertical plane passing through the diagonal of the square horizontal section of the mast element, the two sides forming a yoke in which the corresponding splint of the pivot is inserted.
  • two superimposed holes are drilled in the ribs of the pivot, as well as in the ribs of the element mast, for the installation, at each of the four angles, of two axes of overlapping bonds.
  • the holes drilled in the ribs of the pivot, as well that the other holes drilled in the ribs of the mast element, are of preferably provided with matting cores, intended to increase the surface of contact between these fishplates and the connecting axis which passes through them, and therefore decrease the mating pressure.
  • a plate horizontal is welded to the upper end of each frame angle or amount of the mast element, the upper horizontal plate of the pivot coming in correspondence, by each of its corner zones, with the corresponding board.
  • the top plate of the pivot can carry, in each corner area, at least one pawn of centering directed downwards, while each plate of the mast element is drilled with at least one hole, suitable for receiving a centering pin correspondent of the pivot.
  • each plate of the mast element has a U-shape, comprising two branches pointing inward from the square horizontal section of the mast element, each branch being pierced with a hole, and comprising a central cutout intended for the passage of the corresponding splint of the pivot, the upper plate of the pivot bearing, in each corner area, two centering pins arranged symmetrically on either side of the splint and intended to be inserted into the two holes of the plate corresponding.
  • the reference 1 designates the pivot as a whole fixed (also shown alone in FIG. 2), while the reference 2 designates, as a whole, the upper element of the tower crane mast.
  • Pivot 1 used to support and orient the part rotating top with boom (not shown) of the crane, has a horizontal section of generally square shape.
  • This pivot 1 has a circular central opening 3, delimited by the scope of a crown 4.
  • the upper part of pivot 1 is formed by a square plate 5, interrupted by the central opening 3 and having four angles cut at 45 °, as shown in 6.
  • the pivot 1 also includes reinforcements 7 located in planes vertical and connected to a ferrule 31.
  • the whole of the pivot 1 is part of an envelope of square horizontal section, each side of which has a length designated by A, for example equal to 2.5 meters, corresponding at the side of the square plate 5 (ignoring the cut angles here 6).
  • the mast element 2 also having a horizontal section generally square in shape, but larger than side A of pivot 1, is a structural element that includes four corner members vertical or uprights 8, joined together by cross-pieces 9 and by sleepers 10 on the four side faces of element 2.
  • the uprights 8 and the cross-pieces 9 are section profiles round.
  • connection device comprising means identical to the four angles of pivot 1 on the one hand, and of the part upper part of the mast element 2 on the other hand, the following will be described means provided at one of these four angles, with particular reference to Figures 3 to 7 which show the detail of a corner area, both for the pivot 1 as for the mast element 2.
  • pivot 1 Considering first of all pivot 1 (see figures 2 and 3), it is provided at each angle a splint 11 forming a tenon, located in a plane vertical passing through a diagonal D of the square upper plate 5.
  • the splint 11 is welded under this plate 5, and it is also welded to the adjacent areas of the vertical reinforcements 7 and thus fits between these reinforcements 7.
  • the splint 11 is pierced with two superimposed holes 12 and 13, the the geometric axes of these holes being horizontal and parallel.
  • Nuclei annular mast 14 and 15 are welded on either side of the splint 11, respectively around the two holes 12 and 13.
  • each splint 11 The position of each splint 11, and its dimensions horizontal, are determined so that this splint 11 fits in the interior of the envelope of square section, previously defined.
  • Two centering pins 16 and 17 are still welded in each corner area of the upper plate 5 of the pivot 1; the two pawns 16 and 17, arranged symmetrically on either side of the splint 11, are oriented vertically and directed downwards.
  • two parallel fishplates 18 and 19 forming together a yoke 20 are provided.
  • the two sides 18 and 19 are welded, in closely spaced parallel vertical planes, on the upper part of the upright 8 of round section. These two sides 18 and 19 are thus placed on the inner side of the upright 8, and also, by therefore, inside the volume delimited by the four lateral faces of the mast element 2 (faces in which the cross-pieces 9 and sleepers 10).
  • the plane of symmetry of the two sides 18 and 19 merges with the vertical plane passing through the diagonal D 'of the horizontal section mast element square 2.
  • Each splice 18 or 19 of the mast element 2 is pierced with two superimposed holes 21 and 22, the geometric axes of these holes being horizontal and parallel, and the vertical spacing of the axes of the two holes 21 and 22 of a splint 18 or 19 being equal to the vertical spacing of the two holes 12 and 13 of a splint 11 of the pivot 1.
