Definitions

  • the invention relates to the problem of manufacturing for transport and method for transport of light building panels or similar elements, said elements comprised of filling (core) and a shell and are at least on one side designed in such a fashion as to enable overlap of panels.
  • the solution addresses the problem of mechanical characteristics and possible damage of shell coloring to prevent damage to shell and to its cover during the transport.
  • patent document DE 1.756,606 discloses a device for transport of light building panel comprising of a housing, at least one gripping element, and at least one connecting means element to connect the gripping element to the housing, wherein the gripping element comprises a hook, said hook used to engage the light building panel, and a longer leg (upper part of the gripping element 5 or 6), said longer leg used to connect the gripping element to the housing.
  • the subject of new invention is Device and method for transport of light building panels procedure and is solving above described technical problem whereby the invention takes mostly advantage of shape-wise attachment of building panel onto the transporter.
  • the method enables attachment at one, two or several points whereby the gripping elements are of arbitrary length, hence the specific load on the building panel is continuous rather than pointwise which reduces possibility of structural damage and damage of the color.
  • the gripping elements attach to edges of outer and inner layer of the shell from within so there should be no visible tracks of attachment following the transport.
  • Light building panels are building elements and are used for facades and roofs. They typically comprise outer layer and inner layer giving the panel form, and filling giving the panel insulation capabilities and appropriate strength.
  • the device for transport of light building panels is comprised of at least one attachment head which attaches to the light building panel.
  • Each attachment head is comprised of a cover, a hanging element, and at least one gripping element.
  • the cover and the hanging elements comprise a housing of the attachment head.
  • the gripping element is positioned under folded edges of the panel, fixed in the position relative to the panel, and used for transport of panel using the following algorithm:
  • At least one gripping element with the cover and the hanging element form single element which provides for appropriate force exerted on the panel via principle of the lever during elevation and transport of the panel.
  • the actual level of force is connected to weight of the panel - heavier the panel larger the force.
  • the cover and the gripping element are formed in such a fashion that they fix the edge of the panel between them when ready for transport.
  • the hanging element is connected to the cover via flexible (rotatable) connecting element. It connects all parts of the device into single rigid device.
  • the flexible connecting element may be manufactured in such a fashion that a distance between a center of the auxiliary pin (6) and a center of the pin (7) is smaller than a distance between the center of the pin (7) and the center of a hole or other attaching means to attach attachment head to a crane's cable or some other form of transporting device. If such a case the lever mechanism provides for appropriate force exerted between the cover and the gripping element.
  • the gripping element or plurality thereof may be of various length. They are inserted through the cover and may be of such design that they cannot be separated from the cover and the hanging element.
  • the upper leg of the gripping element should be long enough to provide for easy enough handling (due to use of principle of the lever) with hands and without tools or accessories not usually found on the building site.
  • the material of the top layer (the shell) of the light building panels (2) can be different, from steel sheet, aluminum, copper, or other metal sheet to plastics. It must provide for suitable mechanical properties, particularly in part of the shell which attaches to the attachment head which attaches to the folded edge of the panel. Should the shell be made of brittle or soft material the edge can be manufactured using double or multiple folded edge of the shell or with adding of reinforcing elements which further distribute the load arising of attachment across larger area hence reducing the stress in the shell.
  • the attachment head is positioned onto the attaching edge of the panel.
  • the cover (3) of the attachment head is positioned on the top of attaching side of the panel.
  • the hooks of the gripping elements (4) are positioned underneath the edges of the attaching side (as presented in the figure 3) which requires appropriate design of the core (1) and the shell (2) of the light building panel. The design must allow for positioning of the hooks of the gripping elements and process of locking and unlocking.
  • the hooks are extending more and more underneath the edges while the longer legs (as opposed to the shorter legs which are also known as hooks for purposes of this application) of the gripping elements (4) are closing in and the hooks engage the panel.
  • the gripping elements (4) which are two in this embodiment are in their final position, in this embodiment in essentially vertical position they should be locked in this position and at the same time hanged using the hanging element (5) and secured using pin (7).
  • the pin (7) extends through both longer legs of the gripping elements and through the hanging element (5).
  • the hanging element (5) clasps (hugs) around both gripping elements (figure 2).
  • the hanging element (5) closes (locks) by rotating around the center the rotation which is signified by auxiliary pin (6). By rotating the hanging element (5) clasps around both longer legs of the gripping elements (4) or plurality thereof.
  • the hanging and gripping elements are connected to each other by pin (7).
  • the pin (7) may also feature security element against pin falling out.
  • the cover (3) and the gripping element (4) are designed to clutch the edges of the attaching between the cover and respective hook of the gripping element (4) thereby providing for solid connection between attaching head and the panel.
  • the transport is performed using two attachment heads as presented in figure 5, however this does not exclude possibility to perform the transport with a single or multiple attachment heads.
