Abstract

The elevator has a lifting mechanism (2), and a platform formed of set of plates (3, 5) cooperating with a chassis. The plates move slidably on the chassis for constituting a carrier surface area to liberate access spaces around the platform or inside the platform based on localization of intervention area of a vehicle. The plates comprise a median part of the platform.

Description

La présente invention concerne un banc élévateur pour l'entretien et la réparation de véhicules légers, tels que quads, moto, tracteur de tondeuse ou autre, du type comprenant une plate-forme porte-charge et un mécanisme élévateur agissant sur ladite plate-forme porte-charge.The present invention relates to a lift truck for the maintenance and repair of light vehicles, such as quads, motorcycles, lawn tractors or the like, of the type comprising a load-carrying platform and a lifting mechanism acting on said platform. load carrier.

De tels bancs sont bien connus à ceux versés dans cet art. Ils sont aujourd'hui largement utilisés pour des interventions sur des véhicules légers, tels que quads, moto, tracteur de tondeuse à gazon ou autre. La tendance aujourd'hui est de disposer d'un banc spécialisé soit dédié à une intervention sur moto, soit à une intervention sur quad du fait que les largeurs de plate-forme nécessaires à la réception des véhicules sont différentes pour une moto ou un quad. Généralement, les tables pour moto présentent des dimensions de plate-forme avec une largeur voisine de 750 mm tandis que les tables pour quad, motoculteur, microtracteur, voiturette ou autre présentent une largeur voisine de 1 300 mm.Such benches are well known to those skilled in the art. They are now widely used for interventions on light vehicles, such as quads, motorcycle, lawn mower tractor or other. The trend today is to have a specialized bench either dedicated to a motorcycle intervention, or to an intervention on quad because the platform widths necessary for the reception of the vehicles are different for a motorcycle or a quad . Generally, the tables for motorbike have platform dimensions with a width of about 750 mm while the tables for quad, tiller, micro-tractor, cart or other have a width of about 1300 mm.

Des tentatives ont toutefois été développées pour la réalisation de bancs polyvalents. Les solutions offertes ne donnent pas entière satisfaction. Une solution proposée sur le marché consiste à rapporter, le long des bords longitudinaux de la plate-forme dont les dimensions correspondent à celles nécessaires à la réception d'un engin à voie étroite, tel qu'une moto, des tablettes qui permettent d'augmenter la surface de la plate-forme pour la réception d'un engin à large voie. On forme toutefois dans ce cas une surface pleine qui rend difficile une intervention sous l'engin à voie large. En effet, même si l'opérateur travaille avec les bras tendus, il a beaucoup de difficultés à accéder à la partie médiane du dessous de l'engin à voie large. Une telle solution est par exemple décrite dans le document DE-U-29815973 .Attempts have, however, been made for the realization of polyvalent benches. The solutions offered are not entirely satisfactory. A proposed solution on the market is to report, along the longitudinal edges of the platform whose dimensions correspond to those required for the reception of a narrow-gauge vehicle, such as a motorcycle, tablets that allow to increase the surface of the platform for the reception of a machine with wide lane. However, in this case a solid surface is formed which makes it difficult to operate under the wide-gauge machine. Indeed, even if the operator works with outstretched arms, it has great difficulty to access the middle part of the bottom of the wide track machine. Such a solution is for example described in the document DE-U-29815973 .

Le brevet US-B-6.345.693 décrit un autre mode de réalisation d'un banc élévateur, notamment pour moto. Ce banc comporte une plate-forme présentant une découpe à l'intérieur de laquelle peut être inséré un plateau coulissant, lui-même raccordable à une rampe. Dans ce document, la plate-forme ne se présente pas sous forme d'une pluralité de plateaux coopérant avec un châssis porteur sur lequel les plateaux sont montés coulissants mais simplement sous forme d'une plate-forme constituée d'au moins deux plateaux, l'un fixe, l'autre monté à coulissement sur le plateau fixe suivant une direction parallèle à l'axe longitudinal du plateau fixe. L'absence de châssis porteur limite les possibilités de modification de la surface de la plate-forme et, en particulier, les possibilités d'accès à l'intérieur de ladite plate-forme. Enfin, cette disposition ne permet pas de libérer des espaces d'accès pour l'opérateur autour de ladite plate-forme dans le cas d'un engin à voie étroite.The patent US-B-6345693 describes another embodiment of a lift truck, especially for motorcycle. This bench comprises a platform having a cutout inside which can be inserted a sliding plate, itself connectable to a ramp. In this document, the platform is not in the form of a plurality of trays cooperating with a carrier frame on which the trays are mounted slidably but simply in the form of a platform consisting of at least two trays, one fixed, the other slidably mounted on the fixed bed in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fixed bed. The absence of carrier frame limits the possibilities of modifying the surface of the platform and, in particular, the possibilities of access to the interior of said platform. Finally, this arrangement does not allow to free access spaces for the operator around said platform in the case of a narrow-track machine.

Le brevet européen EP-A-0.297.632 décrit quant à lui un châssis évidé et des plateaux montés amovibles sur lesdits châssis. Ces plateaux ne sont pas montés coulissants sur ledit châssis. En effet, ces plateaux sont munis de crochets permettant leur fixation audit châssis comme l'illustrent les figures. Un coulissement est empêché en raison de la configuration des plateaux et de l'interruption du rail du châssis central destiné à recevoir lesdits plateaux. En conséquence, à nouveau, il n'est pas possible de libérer, par déplacement des plateaux, un accès à l'intérieur de ladite plate-forme ou autour de ladite plate-forme.The European patent EP-A-0297632 describes a recessed chassis and trays removably mounted on said chassis. These trays are not slidably mounted on said frame. Indeed, these trays are provided with hooks for attachment to said frame as illustrated in the figures. Sliding is prevented due to the configuration of the trays and the interruption of the central frame rail for receiving said trays. As a result, again, it is not possible to release, by moving the trays, access to the interior of said platform or around said platform.

Le brevet US-3.330.382 , de même que les documents DE-1.080.752 et US-2.777.538 , décrivent des bancs pour l'élévation de véhicule dans lesquels la plateforme ne constitue pas une plateforme de circulation du véhicule à la surface de laquelle un véhicule peut se déplacer. En effet, dans de tels bancs, le véhicule, qui se déplace sur le sol, est amené au-dessus de la plateforme qui est en position basse, les roues demeurant en appui sur le sol. Des patins de la plateforme sont alors positionnés par l'opérateur sous le bas de caisse du véhicule puis la plateforme est élevée de sorte que les roues du véhicule sont dans le vide. De tels bancs ne permettent pas d'accueillir des motos ou autres engins à voie étroite.The patent US 3330382 , as well as the documents DE-1080752 and US 2777538 , describe benches for the vehicle elevation in which the platform does not constitute a vehicle traffic platform on the surface of which a vehicle can move. Indeed, in such benches, the vehicle, which moves on the ground, is brought above the platform which is in the low position, the wheels remaining resting on the ground. Platform pads are then positioned by the operator under the bottom of the vehicle and the platform is raised so that the wheels of the vehicle are in a vacuum. Such benches do not accommodate motorcycles or other narrow-gauge machines.

Dans le document US-3.330.382 , les éléments de la plateforme sont montés mobiles à coulissement par rapport au châssis porteur suivant une direction orthogonale ou transversale à l'axe longitudinal de ladite plateforme. En particulier, ces éléments de plateforme sont montés à emboîtement télescopique dans le châssis porteur de sorte que ces éléments peuvent être écartés l'un de l'autre sans ménager d'espace libre entre lesdits éléments empêchant tout accès entre lesdits éléments.In the document US 3330382 , the elements of the platform are movably mounted to slide relative to the following carrier frame a direction orthogonal or transverse to the longitudinal axis of said platform. In particular, these platform members are mounted telescopically interlocking in the carrier frame so that these elements can be spaced apart from each other without saving free space between said elements preventing access between said elements.

Les documents US-B-6.695.287 et JP 2004/323181 appartiennent quant à eux à l'arrière-plan technologique.The documents US-B-6695287 and JP 2004/323181 belong in turn to the technological background.

Un but de la présente invention est donc de proposer un banc élévateur polyvalent dont la conception permet à l'opérateur d'intervenir sans difficulté sur des engins à voie large ou étroite.An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a versatile lift bench whose design allows the operator to intervene without difficulty on machines wide or narrow track.

Un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer un banc élévateur dont la conception de la plate-forme porte-charge lui permet d'occuper deux positions : l'une, de faible encombrement en largeur, appropriée pour des engins à voie étroite, l'autre, de plus grand encombrement en largeur, appropriée pour des engins à voie importante.Another object of the present invention is to provide a lift bench, the design of the load-carrying platform allows it to occupy two positions: one, small overall width, suitable for narrow-track machines, the other, larger overall width, suitable for heavy gauge machines.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un banc élévateur pour l'entretien et la réparation de véhicules légers, tels que quads, moto, tracteur de tondeuse ou autre, qui présente en combinaison, toutes les caractéristiques techniques selon la revendication 1.For this purpose, the object of the invention is a lifting platform for the maintenance and repair of light vehicles, such as quads, motorbikes, lawn tractors or the like, which in combination has all the technical features according to claim 1.

Grâce à la conception de la plate-forme sous forme d'une pluralité, à savoir au moins deux, plateaux coulissants, il est possible d'accroître la largeur de la plate-forme en libérant parallèlement des espaces d'accès à l'intérieur de la plate-forme dans le cas d'intervention sur des engins à voie large ou à l'inverse de réduire au minimum la largeur de ladite plate-forme pour permettre de libérer des espaces d'accès autour de ladite plate-forme autorisant ainsi l'intervention sur des engins à voie étroite ou de valeur nulle. Un tel banc élévateur devient alors un banc polyvalent apte à recevoir tout type d'engin léger, quelle que soit la voie dudit engin, la plate-forme pouvant varier en largeur à l'intérieur d'une plage comprise généralement entre 750 mm et 1 500 mm. Il doit être rappelé qu'on entend par voie la distance transversale entre les roues d'un même essieu sur un véhicule, cette voie étant considérée de valeur égale à zéro pour une moto.Due to the design of the platform as a plurality, ie at least two, sliding trays, it is possible to increase the width of the platform by simultaneously releasing access spaces inside. of the platform in the case of intervention on wide-track gear or conversely to minimize the width of said platform to allow free access spaces around said platform thereby allowing intervention on narrow-gauge or zero-value gears. Such a lift bench then becomes a versatile bench adapted to receive any type of light machine, regardless of the path of said machine, the platform being able to vary in width within a range generally between 750 mm and 1 mm. 500 mm. It should be remembered that means the transverse distance between the wheels of the same axle on a vehicle, this track being considered equal to zero for a motorcycle.

Les plateaux coopèrent avec le châssis porteur, pour provoquer, lors de leur déplacement, parallèlement à une variation de la largeur hors tout de la plate-forme, la libération d'espaces d'accès pour l'opérateur soit autour de ladite plate-forme, soit à l'intérieur de la plate-forme, en fonction de la localisation des zones d'intervention sur l'engin. Les plateaux coopèrent donc avec le châssis porteur pour provoquer, soit parallèlement à l'accroissement de la largeur de la plate-forme, la libération d'espaces à l'intérieur de la plate-forme, soit parallèlement à la réduction de la largeur de la plate-forme, une libération d'espaces autour de ladite plate-forme.The trays cooperate with the carrier frame, to cause, during their movement, parallel to a variation of the overall width of the platform, the release of access spaces for the operator is around said platform , either inside the platform, depending on the location of the intervention zones on the machine. The trays thus cooperate with the carrier frame to cause, either parallel to the increase in the width of the platform, the release of spaces inside the platform, or parallel to the reduction of the width of the platform, a release of spaces around said platform.

L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description suivante d'exemples de réalisation, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 représente une vue en perspective d'un banc élévateur conforme à l'invention en position de plus faible encombrement des plateaux pour la réception d'engins à voie étroite ;
  • la figure 2 représente une vue en perspective d'un banc élévateur conforme à l'invention dans une position de plus grand encombrement, les plateaux constitutifs de la partie médiane de la plate-forme ayant été enlevés ;
  • la figure 3 représente une vue, en position éclatée des éléments le constituant, de la plate-forme porte-charge ;

  • la figure 5 représente, sous forme de vues schématiques, quelques exemples de configurations pouvant être occupées par un tel banc élévateur en fonction du type d'intervention à effectuer sur l'engin placé sur un tel banc.
The invention will be better understood on reading the following description of exemplary embodiments, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • the figure 1 represents a perspective view of a lift truck according to the invention in a position of smaller space trays for receiving narrow-track machines;
  • the figure 2 represents a perspective view of a lift truck according to the invention in a position of greater bulk, the trays constituting the middle part of the platform having been removed;

  • the figure 5 represents, in the form of schematic views, some examples of configurations that can be occupied by such a lift bench depending on the type of intervention to be performed on the machine placed on such a bench.

Comme mentionné ci-dessus, le banc 1 élévateur, objet de l'invention, est plus particulièrement destiné à l'entretien et à la réparation de véhicules légers, tels que quads, moto, tracteur de tondeuse à gazon, motoculteur, voiture électrique ou autre. Ce banc 1 élévateur comprend, de manière en soi connue, une plate-forme porte-charge et un mécanisme 2 élévateur agissant sur la plate-forme porte-charge. Ce mécanisme 2 élévateur est généralement constitué d'une structure de type ciseaux associée à un dispositif d'entraînement en déplacement de ladite structure, ce dispositif d'entraînement pouvant être de type pneumatique, hydraulique, électrique ou autre. Il peut être constitué par un vérin, par un soufflet ou par tout autre élément équivalent. Ce mécanisme élévateur ne sera pas décrit en détail ci-après car il est bien connu à ceux versés dans cet art. Un tel mécanisme permet de déplacer la plate-forme entre une position abaissée dans laquelle l'engin peut prendre place sur ladite plate-forme à une position élevée dans laquelle l'opérateur effectue des opérations d'entretien ou de maintenance sur l'engin.As mentioned above, the bank 1 elevator object of the invention is more particularly intended for the maintenance and repair of light vehicles, such as quads, motorcycle, lawn mower tractor, tiller, electric car or other. This bank 1 elevator comprises, in a manner known per se, a load platform and a lift mechanism 2 acting on the platform load carrier. This lifting mechanism 2 generally consists of a scissor-type structure associated with a drive device in displacement of said structure, this driving device being of the pneumatic, hydraulic, electric or other type. It can be constituted by a jack, a bellows or any other equivalent element. This elevator mechanism will not be described in detail below because it is well known to those skilled in the art. Such a mechanism makes it possible to move the platform between a lowered position in which the machine can take place on said platform at a high position in which the operator performs maintenance or maintenance operations on the machine.

La plate-forme porte-charge se présente sous forme d'au moins deux, généralement une pluralité de plateaux, représentés en 3 à 5, aux figures coopérant avec un châssis 6 porteur. Par convention, l'axe longitudinal de la plate-forme est pris dans le sens de déplacement d'un véhicule à la surface de ladite plate-forme. En effet, à chaque fois qu'un véhicule est amené sur la plate-forme ou à l'inverse évacué de la plate-forme, il se déplace suivant une direction prise dans la longueur de ladite plate-forme. L'axe longitudinal de la plate-forme, représenté en XX' à la figure 2, s'étend donc sensiblement parallèlement à la direction de déplacement d'un véhicule à la surface de ladite plate-forme. Il importe peu que le véhicule soit amené sur et évacué de la plate-forme par une même extrémité de la plate-forme ou par deux extrémités différentes.The load platform is in the form of at least two, generally a plurality of trays, shown in 3 to 5, the figures cooperating with a carrier frame 6. By convention, the longitudinal axis of the platform is taken in the direction of movement of a vehicle on the surface of said platform. Indeed, each time a vehicle is brought on the platform or the opposite evacuated platform, it moves in a direction taken in the length of said platform. The longitudinal axis of the platform, represented in XX 'at the figure 2 , therefore extends substantially parallel to the direction of movement of a vehicle on the surface of said platform. It does not matter whether the vehicle is brought on and evacuated from the platform by one end of the platform or by two different ends.

Les plateaux de la plate-forme sont montés coulissants sur ledit châssis 6 suivant une direction T transversale à l'axe XX' longitudinal de la plate-forme pour constituer une aire porteuse de surface ajustable. La surface est ajustée par variation de la largeur de ladite plate-forme. Les plateaux, constituant la structure d'appui du véhicule sur la plate-forme, permettent ainsi, au cours de leur déplacement à coulissement, suivant une direction orthogonale à l'axe XX' longitudinal de la plate-forme, de libérer des espaces 7, 8 d'accès pour l'opérateur soit autour de ladite plate-forme, lorsque les plateaux de la plate-forme sont dans leur position de plus faible encombrement, soit à l'intérieur de ladite plate-forme, lorsqu'au contraire, la plate-forme occupe une position de plus grand encombrement. La position des plateaux est choisie en fonction de la localisation des zones d'intervention sur l'engin. Pour obtenir parallèlement à une variation de la largeur de la plate-forme une libération des zones d'accès, ces plateaux sont déplacés à coulissement suivant une direction transversale ou orthogonale à l'axe longitudinal de la plate-forme.The platforms of the platform are slidably mounted on said frame 6 in a direction T transverse to the longitudinal axis XX 'of the platform to form an adjustable surface bearing area. The surface is adjusted by varying the width of said platform. The trays, constituting the support structure of the vehicle on the platform, thus allow, during their displacement sliding, in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axis XX 'of the platform, to release spaces 7 , 8 for the operator to be around said platform, when the platforms of the platform are in their position of smaller footprint, or within said platform, when on the contrary, the platform occupies a position of greater bulk. The position of the trays is chosen according to the location of the intervention zones on the machine. In order to obtain, in parallel with a variation of the width of the platform, a release of the access zones, these plates are slidably displaced in a direction transverse to or orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the platform.

Dans les exemples représentés, le châssis 6 porteur se présente sous forme d'un treillis obtenu par assemblage de rails coopérant avec des glissières 9 équipant les plateaux 3, 4, 5 mobiles coulissants. Ainsi, comme l'illustre la figure 3, chaque plateau est équipé de deux jeux de glissières destinés à coopérer avec des rails réalisés à partir de profilés tubulaires du châssis 6 porteur. Une simple traction ou poussée sur les bords longitudinaux des plateaux permet de déplacer ces derniers à coulissement le long des rails du châssis 6 porteur. Le châssis 6 porteur, du fait de sa réalisation sous forme d'une structure évidée, autorise l'accès à la zone laissée libre par l'écartement de deux plateaux. Le treillis du châssis 6 est ici formé par deux longerons et deux traverses conférant au treillis à plat la forme générale d'un H à double barre médiane. Un opérateur peut ainsi pénétrer dans la zone entre les deux longerons jusqu'à atteindre la barre médiane du H.In the examples shown, the carrier frame 6 is in the form of a lattice obtained by assembling rails cooperating with slides 9 equipping the trays 3, 4, 5 movable sliding. Thus, as illustrated by figure 3 each tray is equipped with two sets of slides intended to cooperate with rails made from tubular sections of the carrier frame 6. A simple traction or pushing on the longitudinal edges of the trays can move them sliding along the rails of the carrier frame 6. The carrier frame 6, because of its embodiment in the form of a recessed structure, allows access to the area left free by the spacing of two trays. The trellis of the frame 6 is here formed by two longitudinal members and two cross members conferring on the lattice flat the general shape of a H double center bar. An operator can thus enter the zone between the two longitudinal members until reaching the median bar of the H.

Dans les exemples représentés, la plate-forme est formée de six plateaux en trois paires et mobiles dans un même plan. Ces plateaux coulissent le long d'axes orthogonaux à l'axe longitudinal de la plate-forme. Chaque plateau par paire est apte à occuper deux positions, l'une, de faible encombrement, dans laquelle lesdits plateaux de la paire sont en contact par leur rive, l'autre, de plus grand encombrement, dans laquelle les plateaux sont éloignés les uns des autres pour ménager des espaces 7 d'accès à l'intérieur de ladite plate-forme. On comprend que plus on multiplie le nombre de plateaux, plus le nombre de configurations aptes à être obtenues est important.In the examples shown, the platform is formed of six trays in three pairs and movable in the same plane. These trays slide along axes orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the platform. Each plate in pairs is able to occupy two positions, one of small size, in which said plates of the pair are in contact by their side, the other, of larger size, in which the plates are distant from each other. others to provide access spaces 7 within said platform. It is understood that the more the number of trays is multiplied, the greater the number of configurations that can be obtained.

Dans le cas d'une plate-forme à six plateaux, telle que représentée, deux plateaux sont amovibles. Chaque plateau amovible est positionné entre deux plateaux, dits d'extrémité, inamovibles. Les plateaux d'extrémité de l'une des paires constituent une zone d'accès à ladite plate-forme.In the case of a platform with six trays, as shown, two trays are removable. Each removable tray is positioned between two trays, called end, irremovable. The end trays of one of the pairs constitute an access zone to said platform.

Comme mentionné ci-dessus, la plate-forme est donc constituée de plateaux amovibles, représentés en 4 aux figures, et de plateaux inamovibles représentés en 3 et 5 aux figures. Les plateaux 4 amovibles constituent la partie médiane de la plate-forme et ils permettent notamment, dans le cas d'une disposition des plateaux de la plate-forme, dans une position de plus grand encombrement, d'avoir accès aisément à la partie médiane ou du dessous de l'engin léger sur lequel une intervention doit être opérée. Chaque plateau est réalisé à partir d'une plaque de tôle munie de lignes de pliage en fonction de la forme conférée audit plateau. Les plateaux 5 d'extrémité d'une paire de plateaux d'extrémité peuvent par exemple être équipés, en prolongement de leur bord transversal externe, de rampes d'accès. L'autre paire de plateaux d'extrémité, représentée en 3 aux figures, peut quant à elle être munie d'un retour le long de son bord transversal d'extrémité qui constitue une butée de fin de course lors de l'introduction d'un véhicule sur ladite plate-forme. L'accès et l'évacuation de la plate-forme s'opèrent dans ce cas par une même extrémité de la plate-forme. Un véhicule accédant à la plate-forme se déplace donc sur la première paire de plateaux d'extrémité puis sur la paire de plateaux intermédiaires amovibles puis sur la seconde paire de plateaux d'extrémité avant d'atteindre une butée de fin de course. L'évacuation du véhicule de la plate-forme s'opère par déplacement inverse. Ces plateaux 3, 5 mobiles inamovibles comportent encore une butée 10 de fin de course marquant la position de plus grand encombrement de la plate-forme. Cette butée 10 de fin de course est ici délimitée par un repli du plateau pour former une aile destinée à venir en appui contre l'un des éléments de treillis du châssis 6 porteur lors de l'entraînement à coulissement du plateau de la position de plus faible encombrement de la plate-forme en direction de la position de plus grand encombrement de la plate-forme. Il est également prévu, entre le châssis 6 porteur et chaque plateau mobile, au moins un organe 11 d'immobilisation verrouillée du plateau sur le châssis 6. Dans les exemples représentés, chaque organe 11 de verrouillage est formé par un pêne 11A, tel qu'un loquet, pivotant, chargé par ressort, coopérant avec au moins une gâche 11 B de réception ménagée dans le plateau. Dans les exemples représentés, cette gâche 11 B est simplement formée par une lumière 12 ménagée dans la face de réception du plateau. Les plateaux inamovibles comportent une seule gâche pour verrouiller le plateau en position de plus faible encombrement.As mentioned above, the platform thus consists of removable trays, represented at 4 in the figures, and irremovable trays shown at 3 and 5 in the figures. The removable trays 4 constitute the middle part of the platform and they make it possible in particular, in the case of an arrangement of the platforms of the platform, in a position of greater bulk, to have easy access to the median part. or from below the light gear on which an intervention is to be made. Each plate is made from a sheet metal plate provided with fold lines according to the shape imparted to said plate. The end plates 5 of a pair of end plates may for example be equipped, in extension of their outer transverse edge, ramps access. The other pair of end plates, shown in 3 in the figures, can be provided with a return along its transverse end edge which constitutes a limit stop at the introduction of a vehicle on said platform. In this case, access and evacuation of the platform takes place at the same end of the platform. A vehicle accessing the platform therefore moves on the first pair of end plates and the pair of removable intermediate plates and the second pair of end plates before reaching a limit stop. The evacuation of the vehicle from the platform is effected by reverse movement. These movable trays 3, 5 movable still include a limit stop 10 marking the position of the largest footprint of the platform. This abutment 10 end of the race is here delimited by a fold of the plate to form a wing intended to bear against one of the lattice elements of the carrier frame 6 during the sliding drive of the plate of the position of more small footprint of the platform towards the position of larger footprint of the platform. It is also provided, between the carrier frame 6 and each movable plate, at least one immobilized locking member 11 of the plate on the frame 6. In the examples shown, each locking member 11 is formed by a bolt 11A, such as a latch, pivoting, spring loaded, cooperating with at least one receiving striker 11 B formed in the tray. In the examples shown, this keeper 11 B is simply formed by a slot 12 formed in the receiving face of the tray. The immovable trays include a single strike to lock the tray in a smaller position.

En ce qui concerne les plateaux 4 amovibles, ceux-ci comportent, à l'inverse, deux gâches 11B de réception coopérant chacune avec un même pêne 11A de verrouillage porté par le châssis 6 porteur. Chaque lumière ou gâche de réception correspond à l'une des positions extrêmes apte à être occupée par le plateau 4 mobile amovible lors de son déplacement à coulissement. Le pêne 11A est constitué par un loquet pivotant chargé par ressort, ce ressort tendant à ramener le loquet en position verrouillée. Il est ainsi nécessaire à l'opérateur d'agir sur ledit loquet pour provoquer le déverrouillage entre châssis porteur et plateau mobile et ce à des fins de sécurité.Regarding the removable trays 4, they comprise, conversely, two receiving latches 11B each cooperating with the same locking bolt 11A carried by the carrier frame 6. Each receiving light or strike corresponds to one of the extreme positions adapted to be occupied by the removable movable plate 4 during its sliding movement. The bolt 11A is constituted by a spring-loaded pivoting latch, this spring tending to return the latch in the locked position. It is thus necessary for the operator to act on said latch to cause the unlocking between the carrier frame and movable plate and for security purposes.

Il peut être également prévu un levier 13 pivotant supplémentaire positionné sur l'un des bords transversaux de deux plateaux d'extrémité de le plate-forme, ce levier pivotant permettant de solidariser lesdits plateaux en regard entre eux lorsque ces derniers occupent une position de plus faible encombrement.It may also be provided an additional pivoting lever 13 positioned on one of the transverse edges of two end plates of the platform, this pivoting lever for securing said trays facing each other when they occupy one more position. small footprint.

Comme mentionné ci-dessus, la plate-forme du banc élévateur peut présenter différentes configurations comme l'illustre la figure 5. Ainsi, elle peut occuper une position de plus faible encombrement dans laquelle les six plateaux sont rapprochés les uns des autres et sont en contact deux à deux par leur rive. Elle peut également occuper une position de plus grand encombrement dans laquelle les plateaux de chaque paire sont disposés à écartement maximal l'un de l'autre.As mentioned above, the platform of the lift can have different configurations as illustrated by figure 5 . Thus, it can occupy a position of smaller footprint in which the six trays are close to each other and are in contact two by two by their side. It can also occupy a position of greater bulk in which the trays of each pair are arranged at maximum spacing from one another.

Ensuite, il est possible, entre ces deux configurations extrêmes, de choisir des configurations dans lesquelles deux plateaux en regard sont rapprochés et occupent une position de plus faible encombrement tandis que les autres plateaux sont écartés l'un de l'autre et occupent une position de plus grand encombrement. Il est également possible d'obtenir de nouvelles configurations en enlevant les plateaux amovibles constituant la partie médiane de ladite plate-forme. Quelques illustrations de ces différentes configurations ont été représentées à la figure 5. Chaque déplacement d'un plateau s'effectue par simple poussée ou traction sur ce dernier après avoir si nécessaire entraîné à pivotement le loquet 11A pour l'extraire de la gâche 11B correspondante ménagée dans le plateau. En conséquence, le passage d'une configuration à une autre de la plate-forme s'effectue aisément et rapidement.Then, it is possible, between these two extreme configurations, to choose configurations in which two opposite trays are close together and occupy a position of smaller footprint while the other trays are spaced from one another and occupy a position bigger footprint. It is also possible to obtain new configurations by removing the removable trays constituting the middle part of said platform. Some illustrations of these different configurations have been represented at figure 5 . Each movement of a plate is effected by simply pushing or pulling on the latter after if necessary pivotally engaged the latch 11A to extract the corresponding latch 11B formed in the plate. As a result, the transition from one configuration to another of the platform is easy and fast.

Grâce à l'ensemble de ces possibilités, il est possible d'intervenir sur des véhicules à voie large ou à voie étroite et de couvrir l'ensemble des interventions nécessaires sur de tels véhicules.Thanks to all these possibilities, it is possible to intervene on wide or narrow-gauge vehicles and to cover all the necessary interventions on such vehicles.
