- The present invention refers to the field of mechanical links and refers to a connecting device for tools fit for linking said tool to driving means such as articulated arm means of ground moving or demolition vehicles, for agricultural or for shearing devices and the like and generally to mechanically connect, in removable way, mechanical elements of different kind.
- There are known hook device for tools, such as buckets and pneumatic hammer for demolition, provided with a first member fixed to such tools and of a second member fixed to a support such as the end of an articulated arm.
- Generally, such known devices are provided with pivots or prismatic elements fit to be inserted in slots of the elements for their mutual hooking and detachable fixing. Said devices sometimes are also equipped with safety locks to block the pivots or the prismatic elements.
- A drawback of said known devices consists in that the pivots or prismatic elements, matching the slots with the necessary slack for their engagement and for the disconnection, under the effect of the vibrations, of the impulsive strength and of the hits, they violently crash against the edges of the slots of the members having the tendency to get disconnected, to be damaged up to break the safety locks causing unfavorable and dangerous openings.
- Other drawback of such known device consists in that they are difficult and complicate to be hooked and to be unhooked causing losses of time and risks for the safety of the operators.
- An object of the present invention is to propose a connecting device for tools to reduce the connecting slacks, to minimize the mutual movements of the elements of the device caused by vibrations, hits and impulsive strengths, and therefore very strong, reliable and safe.

- the figures 11 and 12 show partial plant views of the device of figure 1 in extreme conditions of block of the arrest mean respectively toward the inside and the outside.
- With reference to the figures from 1 to 12,
numeral 1 indicates the device object of the present invention, provided with afirst member 2 and of asecond member 3 respectively fit to be fixed, for instance by means of a welding, to atool 100, such as a pneumatic hammer or a bucket, and to asupport 101, such as an articulated hydraulic arm of a vehicle. - The members first 2 and second 3 can be mutually hinged by means of respective hook means first 5 and second 6, substantially consisting of pivots for respective hooks insertable one in the others and detachable in correspondence of a predetermined mutual orientation of the
members - The device is provided with an arrest mean 7, approximately flattened parallelepiped shaped, associated to the
second member 3 and fit for detachably engaging arespective housing mean 9 of theremaining member 3 in a linking condition C in which also the hook means first 5 and second 6 are mutually constrained. - The arrest mean 7 is constrained to slide, in a sliding direction D, by sliding
means 22, of plain or guide kind, of thesecond member 3. - In alternative the sliding
means 22 can consist of a pivot for the sliding rotation of the arrest mean 7. - In the linking condition C and in correspondence of the operation, the
tool 100 and thesupport 101 transmit to each other, through thedevice 1, vibrations, hits and impulsive strengths mainly directed in an average strength direction S, for instance approximately coincident with the axis of apneumatic hammer tool 100. - In the linking condition C, the sliding direction D of the arrest mean 7 is nearly orthogonally tilted in comparison to the strength direction S.
- The
arrest mean 7 is bifurcated and is provided with twowedge surfaces 10, flat and tilted in comparison to the sliding direction D and, in the linking condition C, fit for matching correspondent secondflat surfaces 11 carried out in two openings separated by a stiffening leg of the housing mean 9. - In alternative, the invention provides that the arrest mean is not bifurcated being provided with a
single wedge surface 10 for aflat surface 11 carried out in a single opening of the housing mean 9. - The
wedge surfaces 10 and the housing mean 9 are on sides of themembers -
Members device 1. - The second member is equipped with two
elastic means 16, of compressed helical spring type, to elastically push the arrest mean 7 in the sliding direction D toward the housing mean 9. - In the linking condition C the two elastic means 16, pushing the
wedge surfaces 10 against the secondflat surfaces 11 of the housing mean 9, cause the mutual approach of themembers - The arrest mean 7 has two
safety surfaces 15, nearly perpendicular to the strength direction S, each of them being outside and adjacent to therespective wedge surface 10 with which it forms an angle different from zero, in the linking condition C. - The arrest mean 7 has a first
main face 13 nearly flat and approximately perpendicular to the strength direction S; the opposite secondmain face 14, parallel to the first 13, has, close to its edge transversal to the sliding direction D, thewedge surfaces 10 tilt toward thefirst face 13 and linking thesecond face 14 the same, with therespective safety surfaces 15 also approximately perpendicular to the strength direction S and therefore parallel to themain faces - Optionally, the invention provides that each
safety surface 15 is slightly tilted in opposite direction to therespective wedge surface 10 in comparison to themain faces - The arrest mean 7 is provided with a
shaped hollow 17 for a block mean 18 hinged to thesecond member 3 and rotating between two extreme conditions of block of the arrest mean 7 to the inside N and toward the outside E in comparison to thesecond member 3. - The block mean 18 is hook shaped to prevent the arrest mean 7 to slide toward the inside of the
device 1, in other word, toward a condition inside N, matching ashaped protrusion 19 of the hollow 17. - The block mean 18 is rotationally hinged to the
second member 3 and is rotationally operated bydriving means 21 consisting of a rotation pivot fixed to the block mean 18 and provided with an external hexagonal head for the driving by means of a nuts spanner. - The
first member 2 is provided with astop mean 20 consisting of a pivot with a beveled head for matching the block mean 18 fit for, in correspondence of the link of themembers device 1, partially hocking the hollow 17 matching the block mean 18 causing its rotation from the inside N block condition toward the outside E block condition. - The operation of
device 1 provides that the members fixed to the tool and to the support are set, through the driving of the latter, in predetermines and mutual orientation for the insertion of the pivots in the hooks of the hook means first 5 and second 6 of the device. - Subsequently to such insertion and to the rotation of the driving means 21 for the positioning of the block mean 18 in the extreme condition inside N of block of the arrest mean 7, a rotation of the
second member 3 around the axes of the hook means carried out by means of thesupport 101 up to the mutual matching of the positioning means first 23 and second 24 causes the positioning of the portion of the arrest mean 7, having thewedge surfaces 10, in front of the housing mean 9. - The rotation of the driving means 21 for the positioning of the block mean 18 in the extreme outside E condition of block of the arrest mean 7 releases the arrest mean 7 that, under the pushing of the
elastic means 16, engages the housing mean 9 positioning thewedge surface 10 against the secondflat surface 11 causing the reduction of the linkage slacks of the device. An eventual force having a bigger intensity than that of the elastic means and acting on the arrest mean 7 toward the inside N condition it is stopped by the matching of theshaped protrusion 19 of the hollow 17 with the hook of the block mean 18 preventing the exit of the arrest mean 7 from the housing mean 9. - Due to the inclined plane realized by the
wedge surfaces 10 and secondflat surfaces 11, the vibrations and impulsive strengths oriented along the strength direction S, transmit to the arrest mean 7 strengths toward the inside N condition and therefore pushing the arrest mean 7 outside the housing mean 9, but this is prevented from thesafety surface 15. In case of a movement of exit of the arrest mean 7 caused by strengths direct according to the strength direction S, the matching between such arrest mean 7 and the housing mean 9 it would happen in correspondence of thesafety surface 15 whose orientation in comparison to the strength direction S can annul, or reverse, the effect of said strengths avoiding the risk of exit. - An advantage of the present invention is to provide a reliable and sure connecting device for tools to reduce the linking slacks to minimize the mutual movements of the elements of the device caused by vibrations, hits and impulsive strengths and therefore very strong, reliable and safe.
- Other advantage is to provide a device to avoid the risk of unfavorable releasing also in case of a fault or of breakage.
- Further advantage is to furnish a simple and fast device to hook and to unhook.
- Other advantage is to furnish a device for mechanical detachable linking for almost all kind and type of elements requiring a stable, precise and strong linkage.
