Definitions

  • the present invention relates to hoists, in particular to the attachment of accessories to the suspension point of a lifting arm connected to a hoist column.
  • the aim of the invention is to provide a safe, quick releasable fastening for attaching a hoist accessory to a hoist.
  • the accessories for example, a spreader bar, weigh scale or stretcher attachment can be fitted and removed quickly and easily to the lifting arm of a hoist without any tools or without removing any component parts from the accessory or hoist and ensuring that the accessory cannot be detached accidentally from the hoist.
  • the invention comprises in combination a hoist lifting arm having a pivot pin at one end and a hoist accessory including a retaining means, the retaining means releasably engaging the pivot pin on the lifting arm for pivotal movement of the accessory thereto and having locking means automatically locking the pivot pin in position upon engagement.
  • the locking means is biassed to a locking position, the biassing force being spring means.
  • the locking means needs a positive action to be moved to it's unlock position.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a hoist lifting arm and spreader bar retainer according to the invention
  • Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the hoist and spreader bar of Figure 1 with the retainer in locked position
  • FIG 3 is an exploded view of the retainer of Figures 1 and 2.
  • a spreader bar 2 is connected to a hoist lifting arm 1 with a retainer according to the invention.
  • the retainer comprises a hook 4 upstanding from the spreader bar 2 to engage with a pivot pin 9 of the hoist lifting arm 1.
  • the retainer has a sleeve 3 urged to a locking position covering the hook opening by a spring 7.
  • the hook 4 is slid over the pivot pin 9 locking sleeve 3 is urged by spring 7 to a locking position preventing the escape of the pivot pin 9 from the hook 4.
  • the retainer sleeve 3 is pushed downwards to disengage the hook 4 f om the pivot pin 9.
  • the retainer sleeve 3 is designed in a manner where it will not release if only one side is depressed. This causes the bore through the fabrication to lock onto the spacer 6 as shown in Figure 3. Both sides of the retainer sleeve 3 must be depressed for the mechanism to work reducing the chance of a spreader bar or similar accessory becoming inadvertently detached.
  • the spreader bar 2 can be used and then removed without the removal of any components or the need for tools, allowing the attachment of any accessory within seconds without confusion or difficulty.
  • the invention reduces moving and handling risks by enabling the dismantling of the hoist lifting arm and accessories easily to reduce the overall weight of parts being lifted when loading/unloading the vehicle .
  • FIG 3 is an exploded drawing of the retainer according to the invention.
  • the hook 4 has a greased pivot pin 5 located in a hole allowing it to rotate freely.
  • the retainer sleeve 3 is placed over the pivot pin and pushed up to the hook 4.
  • the spacer 6 is slid over the pivot pin 5 and inside the bore of the retainer sleeve 3.
  • the spacer 6 maintains a constant gap between the underside of the hook 4 and the top of the spreader bar 2.
  • the pivot pin 5 is then placed through a hole in the centre of the spreader bar 2 and a collar and spiral pin 8 hold it into position.
  • the force of the spring 7 will ensure that the retainer sleeve 3 always returns to it's locked position.
  • any other hoist accessory for example, a weigh scale, or stretcher attachment or similar can be releasably attached with the pivot pin and retainer combination of the invention.
