Description

Protective device.

Object of the invention

The purpose of this Utility Model application is to register a protective device intended to be fixed in the rear and / or front areas of industrial vehicles, and even on the fronts of loading and unloading docks, which incorporates notable innovations and advantages over current configurations of protective or defense devices used for the same
finish.

More specifically, the protective device of the invention reduces the impact between the loading or unloading dock of the goods and the industrial vehicle, avoiding the deterioration of the same.

Background of the invention

Currently, devices of protection and defense generally applicable in areas Rear of industrial vehicles, suitable for reducing impact of the vehicle and the dock in the loading or unloading action of the goods transported or to be transported.

Sometimes, it is known that those cited protective devices are located on the fronts of the docks of loading and unloading.

The mentioned devices are constituted by rotary cylinders mounted on a shaft, and the latter mounted on a stand so that nature cushioning of the rollers and their rotation reduces the impact and deterioration of both the spring and the rear from the truck.

Specifically, the Utility Model number U200001348 refers to a shock protection device modular, consisting of a housing consisting of two pieces sides and a folded centerpiece inside which are located the corresponding swivel wheels mounted on a bolt that rests at its ends on the side pieces.

On the other hand, the validation in Spain of the European patent publication number ES2099560 consists of a rotary bumper for trucks made up of a bumper cylindrical crossed longitudinally by a rotation axis arranged horizontally, and said axis being incorporated in a support fixed on the dock or on the back of the truck.

Description of the invention

The protective device object of the present registration, resolves the aforementioned problems, providing, in addition, other additional advantages that will be evident to from the description that follows.

The protective device is intended to be fixed in the rear and / or front area of industrial vehicles or on the fronts of the loading and unloading docks of goods, reducing the impact between the dock and the vehicle and avoiding the deterioration thereof.

To do this and more specifically said protective device comprises a support suitable to be fixed in horizontal direction at the rear of the industrial vehicle or in the front of the loading and unloading dock of the goods, being said support crossed by a longitudinal axis on which at least one free spindle roller is mounted that protrudes laterally cited support, and is characterized in that the support It is made up of a "U" shaped plate equipped with two extreme fins facing each of them presenting a coliso through which the axis runs, and because it has at least one elastic spring linked to the shaft and the support for absorption and recovery of the impact produced between the vehicle and the dock in the loading and unloading of the goods.

The elastic spring is arranged, preferably, between the inner side of the lateral fins and the roller, and its performance is comparable to that of a spring, of such so that when the rollers are pressed they will be displaced laterally into the support, recovering when the Pressure on these disappear.

According to another aspect of the invention, the plate support has perforations in its central area suitable for fixing by screws or similar of the device to the vehicle or spring to be arranged.

On the other hand, the longitudinal axis presents in its extreme means of retention thereof. These means consist in the extension or expansion of the axis at one of its ends and the provision of a pin or similar at the opposite end.

According to the particularities described, it get a simple configuration protective device, from Easy handling and low cost.

To complete the description that follows will perform and in order to help a better understanding of their characteristics, is accompanied by the present specification, of a set of planes in whose figures, illustratively and not limiting, the most significant details of the invention.

Description of a preferred embodiment

In view of the commented figures and agree with the numbering adopted, you can see in them a preferred but not limited embodiment of the invention, the which consists of a protective device capable of being fixed in horizontal direction at the rear and / or front of a vehicle industrial or in front of the loading and unloading dock of goods.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the protective device comprises a support (1) constituted by a "U" shaped plate, equipped with two extreme fins facing each of them presenting a coliso (4) by which a longitudinal axis (2) runs on which it is mounted at least a free rotating roller (6) protruding laterally from support (1) cited.

Also, the device is equipped with two elastic springs (5) linked to the shaft (2) and the support (1) for the absorption and recovery of the impact produced between the vehicle and the dock in the action of loading and unloading of the goods.

These springs are arranged between the face internal of the lateral fins and the roller (6), and its performance is comparable to that of a dock.

According to another aspect of the invention, the plate support presents in its central area perforations (7) suitable for fixing by screws or similar of the device to the vehicle or spring to be arranged.

On the other hand, the longitudinal axis (2) has at its extreme retention means (3) thereof. These means consist of the extension or expansion of the axis in one of its ends and the endowment of a pin or similar at the end contrary.

The details, the shapes, the dimensions and others accessory elements, as well as the materials used in the manufacture of the protective device of the invention may be conveniently substituted by others that are technically equivalent and do not depart from the essentiality of the invention nor of the scope defined by the claims included in continuation.
