FR2689537A1 - Fully automatic rubbish skip handling device - comprises two slides & bearings one each side of arched handle which is lowered on slides & locked before raising for emptying & repeat - Google Patents

Abstract

An attachment for handling skips has two slides (4) one on each side of an arched handle (1), with two bearings (2) turned inwards towards the skip. The skip may be manoeuvred as follows : The arched handle (1) is lowered from point A to point B on the slides, where it is locked. Raising the handle rotates the skip & empties it. To get the skip back to the loading position it is rested on the ground & the movements previously described are repeated in the same order. USE/ADVANTAGES : Fully automatic improved handling safety obviates requirement for men to unlock catches to rotate skip.

Description

AUTOMATIC DRAIN BUCKET
The present invention relates to an automatic tilting device for emptying the excavated skips.

 The emptying of the excavated skips is currently carried out with human assistance, with all the risks of bodily injury that this generates during tipping.

 The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback. By design human action is no longer useful for the action of tipping the bucket.

 This movement is done automatically without effort only with the help of the handling machine.

- Figure 1 represents the bucket seen from the front - Figure 2 represents the bucket seen from the side - Figure 3 represents the detail of the slide
With reference to these three figures, the operation is easily designed from the operating station.

Maneuver No 1 Lower handle 1 from A to B.

Maneuver No 2 Arrival of loop i at point B.

the interlocking takes place automatically in the housing provided for this purpose.

Maneuver No 3 Raise the handle 1 upwards, which tilts the bucket 8.

Maneuver No 4 by continuing the lifting action on handle 1 letting its contents escape without constraint.

 If the latter, for reasons of adhesion to the walls requires qne new intervention, the latter can be carried out safely and away from any untimely movement of the equipment.

 Once completely emptied, the manipulator rests the bucket on the ground and by performing the 4 maneuvers described above in chronological order, the bucket automatically returns to the filling position ready for a new work cycle.

 According to a variant not illustrated, this tilting system adapts to all forms of cylindrical buckets: frustoconical, oval, square, rectangular. Etc ...

it does not matter the shape of the container to carry out the work or the shape of the excavation.

 The system according to the invention is particularly intended for the removal of cuttings in deep or difficult to access excavations.
