Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stepladder with folding platform and removable support legs.
  • step ladders whose steps are deeper than the rungs of a ladder and provide a better grip of the user.
  • this user is in support on the last step, its lateral stability remains uncertain because it depends on the position of his body relative to the support polygon of the stepladder, and also the energy it provides with them. arm and torso in relation to this stool.
  • each lateral leg is articulated on one of the uprights of the climb plan and is deployed manually after the balancing plan has been removed from the climb plan, ie after the step ladder has been brought from its position storage and transport at its position of use.
  • the lateral spacing of each stabilizing leg is limited by pulling the connecting to the corresponding amount of the climb plan, this tie being constituted by a chain or other flexible link.
  • this arrangement improves the stability of the stepladder in working position, it however requires human intervention to spread the stabilizing legs and adjust the length to suit the spacing and configuration or the flatness of the soil.
  • the lift polygon is reduced to the surface between the rear plane of the plane and the front support plane and the stability of the stool is that of traditional stools, so that, to avoid falls, the user must not make ample movements overflowing the polygon delimited by the sole feet of the stool.
  • Sliding ladders are also known whose lower climbing plane is equipped with two support legs hinged to the vertices of its uprights and to be manually deployed forwardly and laterally to increase the lifting polygon and stability.
  • the quality of the stability obtained depends on the rigor of the human intervention required for this deployment.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a stepladder which eliminates the influence of human intervention during the setting in working conditions of a stepladder, and which is adapted to the new regulations requiring to provide, at the top of the equipment, a platform and guardrail improving the safety of the operator having to work at height.
  • the front support plane of the traditional stepladder is replaced by the two articulated legs which add to their stabilization function that of support of the rear climb plan and which, for the rest of the description, are called support legs.
  • the movement that the operator must perform to bring the stepladder from its storage position to its position of use causes , by the spreading arms, the sliding down of the collars on the legs, sliding causing, first, the spacing of them to the front, under the control of the tie rods, then their lateral spacing by the action of arm spreaders, and more precisely by the spacing of these arms for compensate for the lengthening of the virtual sides in each of the leg control triangles.
  • the platform carries two lower fittings whose openings are each traversed by one of the spreader arms, and ensure, in the spacing and folding phases of the legs, the maintenance of each arm in a plan parallel to that of the platform.
  • each of the support legs comprises means for adjusting its length to compensate for a difference in height of the bearing surface to maintain the platform in a substantially horizontal position.
  • This arrangement is particularly interesting for step stools used to perform outdoor work from unevenly flat floors.
  • these level compensators make it possible to erase the influence of at least one stair step on the horizontality of the platform and thus to maintain a good stability at the stool.
  • Figures 1 and 2 are views in perspective, from the front and in elevation, of the stepladder when it is, respectively, and in the storage position and in the position of use;
  • Figure 3 is a partial view, in perspective from below and on an enlarged scale, when the stepladder is in use position.
  • Figures 4, 5 and 6 are perspective views, from the front and under, when the step stool is, respectively, in the storage position, being deployed and deployed.
  • FIG. 7 is a perspective view from the rear of another embodiment in which each of the support legs is provided with a level compensator
  • Figures 8 and 9 are views, respectively, of side elevation with partial and partial sectional section along 9-9 of figure 8 , showing a leg on an enlarged scale.
  • this stool comprises a rise plane M composed of uprights 2 and bars 3 which extend vertically to a height less than the uprights and which, in the embodiment shown, extend substantially at half height.
  • a folding platform 4 is articulated around a horizontal axis and, in particular, on the last bar 3a. The articulation is achieved by sockets 5, or equivalent means, disposed under the rear edge of the platform and so that it can be deployed forward.
  • the stepladder also comprises two support legs 6 articulated each at the top of one of the uprights 2, via a hinge 7, multidirectional or with several degrees of freedom. On each leg can slide a collar 8 or other equivalent member, whose travel downward is limited by a stop ring 11. This ring defines the horizontal positioning of the platform and ensures the limitation of the spacing of the legs 6.
  • Each collar 8 carries a hinge 9 by which it is articulated at the end of a lateral tie rod 10, constituted by a rigid lever.
  • the other end of each pulling is articulated on the upright 2 of the rise plane M by a hinge 12, multidirectional or with several degrees of freedom.
  • the various figures show that this articulation is disposed above the bar 3a forming the articulation of the platform.
  • the platform 4 is associated with a collapsible guard 13 whose lateral branches 14 are articulated, near their front ends and by pins 15, to the vertices of the uprights 2.
  • the rear end of each branches 14 of the bodyguard are connected, by a connecting rod 16, to the rear end of the platform 4.
  • the lower end of each connecting rod 16 is connected to the platform by a hinge 17, while its upper end is connected, by a hinge 18, to a collar 19 slidably mounted on the corresponding branch 14.
  • each collar is limited and takes place between two locking notches, respectively posterior 20a and anterior 20b, visible to the figures 3 , 5 and 6 , and defining, the first, the normal position of the guardrail, and, the second, a transient position facilitating the access of the user to the platform 4.
  • the stepladder also comprises means which ensure the automatic spacing of the legs when it is placed in the position of use.
  • These means comprise two spreader arms 22 which are arranged under the platform 4. figure 3 the posterior ends of the arms 22 are articulated on a common pivot 23, orthogonal to the platform and protruding from its bottom, while their anterior ends are connected to one of the two collars 8 by a hinge 24.
  • the pivot 23 is disposed substantially in the middle of the width of the platform 4 and between the half and the back third of its length.
  • Each of the spreader arms 22 passes through an opening 25a formed in a fitting 25 attached under the plate 4 and near each of its front angles.
  • the edges of each opening cooperate with the corresponding arm 22 to guide it transversely with respect to the platform, so that its movements take place in a plane parallel to that of the platform, regardless of the position of this platform relative to the plane. climb that carries it.
  • the automatic spacing means comprise an arm 22 and a tie rod 10 which are articulated on the same collar 8, and form two sides of a deformable triangle whose third side, shown in FIG. C3 at the Figure 3 is virtual and extends between the pivot 23 and the hinge 12 of the tie rod on the upright 2.
  • the legs 6 are arranged against the front face of this plane and between the uprights 2.
  • the collars 8 are at the highest on the legs, in relation to the length of the tie rods 10 which extend vertically upwards and between the uprights 2 from the joints 12.
  • the spreader arms 22 are entirely between the uprights 2 and define an angle a .
  • the use position of the ladder is made by manually pivoting the platform 4 downwards and forwards, as shown by the arrow 41 to the figure 5 .
  • the arms 22 are driven by the platform 4 and, by the collars 8 and tie rods 10, force the legs 6 to pivot about their joints 7 away from the uprights 2.
  • the arms 22 move apart, as shown by the angle b at the figure 6 , Greater than that of a figure 4 .
  • the collars 8 slide on the legs, they communicate to them a movement of spacing towards the front and a movement of separation towards the sides until the end of tilting platform 4.
  • the movements of the spreader arms 22 are controlled by the movement of the pivot 23 which, when lowered, moves away from the joints 12 and increases the length of the virtual sides C3 of each of the leg control triangles 6 .
  • the spacer means not only act automatically, without the need for human intervention in addition to that necessary for the deployment of the platform, but give the support legs a gap of EM value, visible figure 2 , much higher than the starting value Em, visible figure 4 , by improving the ground support surface and the stability of the stepladder.
  • stepladder When the stepladder is in the position of use, access to its platform is facilitated by temporarily pushing the rods 16 forward, by sliding their collars 19 to 20b wedges 20b. As soon as the user is on the platform, he is encouraged to bring the connecting rods back locked position, by the inclination given to the guard rail by these rods.
  • each leg includes means for adjusting its length to compensate for a difference in height of the bearing surface to maintain the platform 4 in a substantially horizontal position. More precisely, each leg 6 is formed by two telescopic elements, upper 6a and lower 6b respectively. The upper one 6a serves as a slide on the collar 8 carrying the hinges, respectively, 9 of the tie rod 10 and 24 of the corresponding spacer arm.
  • This element 6a carries at its lower end the abutment ring 11, limiting the downward stroke of the collar 8. It also comprises, above this ring, a longitudinal groove 30 into which notches 31, staggered longitudinally, c ' that is, distributed along the element with a regular pitch and over the entire length of adjustment.
  • the pitch is of the order of 20 to 25 millimeters for an adjustment stroke of the order of 160 to 200 millimeters measured on either side of a central position, considered optimal.
  • the figure 8 shows that the notches 31 go upwardly leaving the groove 30 to be self-locking by the sole mass of the stool and, of course, by the mass of the stepladder and the user.
  • the lower element 6b is tubular, like the one 6a in which it is slidably mounted. Near its upper end the lower element 6b is traversed by a rod 32 projecting radially on one side to form a finger 32a. It is slidably mounted in the groove 30 and is able to penetrate any of the locking notches 31.
  • the figure 9 shows that the rod 32 of the lower element 6b is connected by elastic return means, such as a tension spring 33, to another rod 34 passing through the upper element 6a.
  • elastic return means such as a tension spring 33
  • the lower element 6a is constantly stressed by a tensile force T which tends to return it into the upper element 6a and, especially, to press the finger 32a into its notch 31, as shown figure 8 .
  • This height compensation can also be used to position the stepladder on a stairway, to absorb the difference in level of at least one step 35 as shown in FIG. figure 7 .
