Description

The present invention relates to a trolley for the transport of bot

  or similar articles, provided with loading and unloading

  canis, nota & iment in the case of bobbins of hay or pail-

the large dimensions.

  Although the carriage subject of the present invention can be used for a remarkable number of different objects, such as

  that, for example, large containers whose base is in the form of pa-

  letters, rag boots, etc., it is hereinafter described and illustrated in its most typical application, that is to say for the loading and unloading of cylindrical bales of hay or

large straw.

  The transport of these boots from the fields where they are

  storage station represents a very important problem

  these hoods are rather big and heavy and they can not

  not be lifted from the ground using standard carriages or

  miojens known to harvest lighter boots of

matic.

  We already know more than one type of cart created specifically for the

  colse and the transport of cylindrical boots.

  These trolleys are all based on the principle of providing a bed of

  support provided with suitable edges, on which these boots are

  and fork-lift means on the side or on the part a-

  of the trolley which, moving below or next to the boots,

  ground lines raise these and deposit them on the bed of

support.

  Continuous transport chains are also needed both

  in order to sort the boots as they are loaded.

  and distribute them along the support bed, only to perform

unloading the same boots.

  Although these trolleys are able to reach

  The purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel type of carriage having the following important advantages: - 2 -

  - a much higher structure makes the cost lower by

port to performa: these;

  - shot no r- - Ade'ui = '* - of n.p X such vuE. verius rdrau-

  and other means of transport, transport chains and means of

  +. related to these, - a great mania and speed of operation both during the carning phase and especially during the unloading boots; - possibility of disassembling and assemble the cart easily and quickly, this yes allows a more convenient storage and a

more economical transportation.

  These advantages are achieved by the trolley which is the subject of the present invention which is retrofitted in that it comprises: - a pvtentseente yesIi comprises: -a tunnel-shaped storage bSti defining an empty space, in esure to contain one or more boots aligned one behind the other; said b9ti having at its lower part a longitudinal opening extending over the entire length of the tunnel, the lar

  is smaller than the diameter (or width) of each boot and

  greater than the width of the support surface of the boot on the ground; - a

  chassis, equipped with bare wheels, other means of

  linked to a vehicle to pull the cart, which is likely to

  remove the storage b9ti; said frame developing outside the boot storage area and not below the opening

  longitudinal aforementioned; - mechanical lifting means, sup-

  worn by the chassis, nui support the storage bgti in two

  different positions relative to the chassis; a lower position

  the loading and unloading of boots, in which

  the lower and open part of the storage frame is at the ap-

  or near the ground; and a higher position, for the trans

  3C wearing boots, higher compared to the previous one, in the-

  Yuell the bottos possibly present in the storage area

are sleyed from the ground.

  Other features and advantages of the invention disclosed

  more clearly from the following detailed description of "ine-

  me preferred but not exclusive, illustrates for a simple reason

  of non-limiting example with reference to the accompanying drawings in the

  qiuels: - Figure I is a top plan view of the carriage; - Figure 2 shows a side view, partially in section, of the carriage, the storage frame occupying its lower position; - Figure 3 still shows the carriage, as shown on the re 2, but with-the storage frame in the upper position; - Figure 4 shows a section in vertical elevation along the IV-IV of Figure 2; - Figure 5 is a section in vertical elevation along the lii of Figure 3; FIGS. 6A, 6B, 6C and 6D show a diagrammatic view of the working positions of the trolley during the phase of receding the boots of the solo.

  sexaaéesimaux. The inside diameter of these forks is obviously

  suitably the diameter of a boot. The frame M) comprises an upper frame (81) rie rectangular shape, fonrié two large cetes (85) in the longitudinal direction and two small ectés (84), which are connected two frames (82) laterally intended for. support the wheels (5); the bttis (82) are arranged next to the storage area of the boots and they do not interfere with it. Two

  transverse rods (83) placed in an intermediate position on the bg-

  ti (81) stiffen this frame even more.

  The lifting means (9) comprise a plurality of levers (91), each of which is in the form of a triangle whose vertex pivots, in the medium of a pivot (92) on suitable stirrups (92 ') fixed to the short sides ( 94) of the bgti (81) to the rods (83), while

  the other two chambers rotate, by means of the pivots (93) and (94) res-

  on the fork comb (41) and on a link rod

  its (95) horizontal connecting the um to the other all the levers (91).

  The rod (95) is moved by a hydraulic cylinder (96) whose bar pivots on the rod (95) and whose cylinder is connected by suitable stirrups (97) to a rod (83); the outlet of the bar re of the cylinder (96) causes the displacement in the longitudinal direction of the rod (95) and consequently the rotation of the levers (91) and thus the displacement of the storage unit (4) from its lower position A

  at its upper position B and vice versa.

  The passage of the b9ti (4) from the lower position A to the upper position B and vice versa takes place by m. translational movement such that the longitudinal axis (11) of the holding zone remains parallel

  on the ground. At the front part of the rectangular frame (81) is fixed the

  my (2) which is connected to the rear part of the tractor (3). An oleohydraulic jack (21) is connected at one end to the frame

  (81) and at its other end to the drawbar (2).

  The setting in motion of the jack (21) causes the carriage to move relative to the pulling vehicle so that the trolley can be - 6

  pulled while remaining completely beside the tractor (3) (position

  lustred in solid lines in Figure 1).

  The loading of the botts by the cart in question takes place from the

as illustrated below.

  The cylindrical boots (10) are arranged on the ground with their axes in horizontal position. The carriage (1) is moved first, by actuating the cylinder (21), completely to the side of the tractor (3). The carriage (1) yes still maintains this position, is approached by a boot (10 ') to be loaded, so that this boot is approximately

  1l in contact with the front ends (61) of the elements (6) and arranged a-

  With its axis in the vertical ideal plane, the longitudinal axis (11) of the containment zone. At this point the frame (4) is brought to its lower position A; in this position the elements (6) are very

  close to the ground or at least at such a distance from the ground that they can

  wind is below the boot (10 '); it should be noted further that, in this position A, the longitudinal axis (11) of the zone

  storage co.ncide approximately with the axis of the boot (o10 '). (This-

  this position is visible in Figure 4). Then the carriage (1) is

  vancé in the direction of the axis (11) so that the elements (6) can pass below the boot next to the support surface of the boot on the ground: during this phase the frame (4) slides around of the boot (10 ') and, therefore, it is inside the containment zone. This advance in the direction of the axis (11) is equal to the length of a boot (10) and ceases as soon as a boot

  ? 5 (10 ') reaches the first position C1 of the storage area.

  At this point the b9ti (4) is raised to its upper position B and the boot (10 ') is also raised from the ground, because it rests on the elements (6). the harvesting phase of the first boot (10 ') is thus completed. Then the carriage (1) is approached to a second boot <10 "(position shown in Fig. 6A) in the same manner as that described for the first boot (10 ') and therefore the frame

  (-) turns off its lower position A (position shown in the figure).

  6B). At this point the boot (10 ') is again supported: ur the ground and it is approximately in contact with the boot (10 "), its axis

  and the axis of the boot (10 ") being nearly all or very few.

  Then the carriage (1) is advanced, always in the direction of the axis (11), a portion equal to the length of the boot (position shown in Figure 60): during this phase it occurs that the frame (4) glide around the boots (10 ') and (10 ") aligned and resting on the ground, these being consequently inside the

  storage area, in positions C2 and C1 respectively.

  Then the b9ti is raised to its upper position P and bones (10 ') and (10 ") are also raised salt, m] or they rest on the elements (6) (position shown in Figure 6D1) . The sentence

  the harvest of the second boot is thus completed.

  Always following the procedure described above can be loaded in the storage area all hoods r-ue it can contain

  (In the figures shown, the storage area may contain

  only four hoods but obviously the number of these last-

  could be higher or lower).

  The unloading phase of the boots is very simple: just

  lower the tti (4) to its lower position A, so that the bot-

  present on the trolley can make it easier for the trolley to move forward and the boots are thus

unloaded at the desired place.

  It should be noted that when the b9ti (4) is positinn B the bot tes present in the storage area are pressed, at their upper part, against the levers (91) and against the t.ires 83) and (84 '> for this reason, the bootes are securely held in place, which prevents dangerous movements of the charremert within the

the containment zone.

  In addition, it is expected that the elements (6) may be dead

  several positions relative to the are (11), that is, can vary their position radially; this is aimed at "suas.ow ae Tssune": (91 s9uis'l- ai J., zu1ous op -a s4o.q; oT.IGnJ '+ -Xai ap JaJno'uap.ZmsaUo U3 nUaotOS STIIvL0 Uut.rp0O e' 4.sEI3 43 Gia-G ap G. nua2cj!
