Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lifting device for vertically moving one or more objects while maintaining their orientation and positioning initially defined.
  • Such a device will find, without limitation, a particular application in the field of store layout, including for hanging posters as well as advertising objects or items offered for sale.
  • the suspension of such objects or articles is made through wire elements, or strands, hooked to the ceiling of the room to be equipped.
  • the most advanced devices comprising these wire elements are associated with winch type winding means that facilitate the handling of these objects or articles, that is to say the operations of hooking and unhooking, allowing them to bring to the height of man.
  • these devices comprise several strands, in particular two, they have identical strokes and, except to have an object or article having attachment points perfectly aligned horizontally, or to calculate how much to shorten some of said strands and to achieve said shortening, it is difficult to move vertically said objects or articles while retaining their orientation and positioning initially defined.
  • a winch for raising and lowering stage sets which comprises a shaft driven by a motor means, and on which are mounted cable winding pulleys.
  • the link between the shaft and each of the pulleys is made through rollers capable of taking two positions, one active in which the rollers are jammed between said shaft and said pulley, and a passive in which the rollers do not assure not the connection between the shaft and the pulley.
  • the transition to the active position is achieved naturally during winding or unwinding of the cable under the effect of the traction exerted by the latter on the pulley.
  • each pulley comprises two disks arranged on either side thereof, mounted idle on the shaft, and traversed by pins each adapted to come to the contact with a roller, so that the manual actuation of at least one of said disks, in the opposite direction of the winding, has the effect of physically repelling the roller and thus disengage it.
  • the present invention aims to overcome these various disadvantages by providing a lifting device for moving vertically one or more objects while maintaining their orientation and positioning initially defined, simple and inexpensive design.
  • the lifting device for vertically moving one or more objects while maintaining their orientation and positioning initially defined is of the type comprising a shaft rotated by a motor means for winding or unrolling at least two strands for the suspension of the said object or objects said shaft carrying a plurality of winding modules, one for each of said strands, each of said modules comprising a member receiving the wound strand, and being connected to said shaft through disengageable means, said lifting device being characterized by that said disengageable means are defined by friction means which ensure the connection between said shaft and said element which receives the wound strand, and which are disengageable under the effect of a traction force when it exceeds a threshold value .
  • Such a device makes it possible to unwind, in the disengaged position, the necessary length of strand, then to freeze this length for each of the strands, and to preserve the differences in length as the winding and unwinding operations proceed.
  • each winding module comprises a first tubular element threaded onto the shaft and integral in rotation thereof, and cooperating with a second tubular element in free rotation on said shaft and acting as winding coil to the strand, the cooperating portions of said tubular elements being adapted to cooperate by friction under the action of an elastic means pushing one of said tubular elements towards the other.
  • the elastic means consists of a spring whose pressure is adjustable.
  • the threshold value of the pulling force necessary to overcome the resistance of the means of fiction may be chosen so that the device functions as a torque limiter.
  • each of the strands is associated with a stop means of predetermined length, against which the object abuts during winding.
  • a lifting device for vertically moving one or more objects while maintaining their orientation and positioning initially defined comprises a casing 1 enclosing a shaft 2 adapted to be rotated by a motor 3.
  • the device comprises several winding modules 4 of strands 40, 41 and 42.
  • Each winding module is defined by a tubular element 43 threaded onto the shaft 2 and rotationally secured thereto, and a tubular element 44 also threaded onto the shaft 2 but in free rotation, and intended for winding strands 40, 41 and 42.
  • the tubular elements 43 and 44 cooperate with one another via a friction zone and under the action of a spring 45 which pushes the tubular element 44 towards the tubular element 43.
  • the pressure exerted by the spring 45 is adjustable, by means of a screw nut system or the like.
  • the device according to the invention makes it possible to suspend two objects, an object 5 suspended on the strand 40, and an object 6 suspended on the strands 41 and 41.
  • the objects 5 and 6 are not to be suspended at the same height, on the other hand it is necessary for the operations of attachment and stall to bring them to human height.
  • the device according to the invention makes it possible to obtain this result with a single apparatus, since the length of each of the strands 40, 41 and 42 is individually adjustable.
  • the adjustment of the length can also be obtained more precisely and automatically, via stop elements 10, integral with the casing 1, and against which the object 6 abuts during the winding of the strands 41 and 42.
  • the abutment elements 10 are of predetermined lengths depending on the object to be suspended.
  • the strands are unwound, then the object or objects are hooked, the strands are then wound until the object or objects abut against the elements 10 to adjust the lengths of the strands relative to each other which is allowed because of the disengagement, they can then be unwound to bring the objects to the desired height while maintaining their initial orientation, as well as the positions of the objects relative to each other.
  • the housing 1 which can act as a stop.
