Description
SPECIFICATION
A retractable cover for a goods vehicle
A retractable cover for the load-carrying space of a goods vehicle, for example a lorry or trailer, is known which comprises a pair of guide rails mounted on tower-like supports so as to extend the length of the load-carrying space, and a plurality of hoops supported by the guide rails and carrying a tilt. One of the endmost hoops is fixed in position and the remaining hoops are moveable between extended positions in which the hoops are relatively spaced-apart and retracted positions in which all of the moveable hoopes lie adjacent the fixed end hoop. By displacing the hoops between their extended and retracted positions, the cover may be closed and opened.
A cover of this type has the advantage that it can be shifted into an open position in which virtually the entire load-supporting deck and loadcarrying space are unobstructed, thereby facilitating loading and unloading. Such a cover is of particular advantage in connection with a vehicle having a rigid, especially trough-shaped structure for transporting bulk goods or containers and the like, as it permits uniform loading of the vehicle throughout its entire length, and provides protection for the load from weather conditions, particularly in the case of moisture sensitive goods. However, the cover has considerable weight so that it is difficult for the operator to open and close.
To overcome this problem, it is proposed herein that for opening and closing the cover, use should be made of a mechanism comprising a cable drum conveniently adjacent one end of the load-carrying space, a loop of cable to which is attached the endmost moveable hoop remote from the fixed hoop at substantially the longitudinal mid-point of the loop, the cable being anchored to the cable drum, and means accessible to a person on the ground to effect rotation of the drum.
Advantageously, the mechanism includes a pair of cable drums, a cable from each of which has runs extending adjacent a respective guide rail, and each cable being attached to the endmost moveable hoop.
As will subsequently become apparent, the mechanism may include a pair of drums and loops of cable to provide a more satisfactory application of force to the cover. However, a single loop of cable may be used, with the cable drum conveniently arranged centrally and symmetrically with respect to the paths followed by the runs of cable longitudinally of the vehicle. With this arrangement, the two runs of the loop of cable may be deflected around deflecting pulleys, having horizontal axes, at the same end of the loadcarrying space as the cable drum and located generally above the drum. These pulleys serve to guide the runs of cable along paths extending generally longitudinally of the vehicle. At the other end of the load-carrying space, the cable may be passed around a return pulley having a horizontal axis of rotation.This arrangement permits easily accessible and reliable actuation of the cable mechanism from a central position.
However, it may be necessary or desirable for
the drum to be arranged eccentrically to the paths
followed by the runs of cable longitudinally of the
vehicle, in which case, the runs of cable extending
from the cable drum may pass around a pair of
deflecting pulleys rotatable about horizontal axes,
and to a pair of further pulleys rotatable about
vertical axes, thereby to effect two changes of
direction. With this arrangement, the drum is
preferably arranged symmetrically relative to
tangents to the deflecting pulleys at the points at
which the cable engages the pulleys.
Each of two ends of the loop of cable may be
fixed to one of the end flanges of the cable drum
by means of a cable clamp. To ensure slip-free
running and the transmission of the actuating
force onto the cover in both directions of rotation
of the cable drum, it is preferred for the cable to be
wound onto the drum in such a way that the two
runs of cable extending from the drum are paid out
from and drawn onto the drum uniformly and
synchronously independently of the direction of
rotation of the drum. The cover is thus controlled
exclusively by the loop of cable and can be fixed securely in any desired open or closed position.
For this purpose, use may be made of a fixing
device which cooperates with recesses in an end
flange of the cable drum. In the simplest case,
such a device may consist of a fixing peg which
can be disengaged against the force of a spring
and is mounted on at least one of the cheeks of
the bearing block of the cable drum.
The cable drum may be driven manually by
means of a crank handle which may be detachably
engaged with a suitably shaped projection from
the drum. Thus, for example, the handle may have
a squared end for engagement within a
complementary socket, or the handle may have a
square socket for engagement with a square
sectioned projection from the drum. Alternatively,
the drum may be rotatable by means of an
auxiliary motor, preferably an electric motor,
which acts on the cable drum by means of a
coupling and optionally a gear mechanism. A
control switch for the motor may, in this case, be
located where it can be conveniently reached by
the operator standing on the ground. Alternatively,
such a switch could be operated from within the
cab of the vehicle. Provision may be made to allow
the drum to be rotated manually and by a motor,
in the alternative.
In the case of a vehicle having a very long load
carrying space, such as, for example, a semi-trailer
or the like, one or other of the guide rails
supporting the cover may sag by a considerable
amount between their end supports, and this may
result in tipping of trolleys which support the
hoops on the guide rails and interfere with the
actuation of the cover by means of a single
centrally arranged cable. Accordingly, it is further
proposed to move the hoops using a mechanism
comprising a pair of cable drums, two loops of
cable to which the endmost moveable hoop is
secured, each cable being anchored to a
respective drum and having runs extending
adjacent a respective guide rail, and means for
rotating the cable drums in synchronism to retract
or extend the cover. Preferably, the two cable
drums are spaced-apart from each other and
mounted on a common drive shaft.This
arrangement thus permits a fully synchronous
driving of the two cable drums and cables in each .of the two rotational directions, so that forces are
applied uniformly to the moveable end hoops. As
with a single drum and loop, the moveable end
hoop may be secured in any optional open or
closed position when the drums are fixed.
In this preferred construction, at the end of the
load-carrying space remote from the cable drum,
each of the two loops of cable may be guided
around a respective retum pulley rotatable about a
horizontal axis, and one run of each loop (for
example, that which serves to apply force to the
cover) is arranged to extend above the respective
guide rail and in the longitudinal central plane
thereof while the other run (which is the return
run) is arranged to run below the respective guide
rail and in the longitudinal central plane thereof.At
the end of the space at which the drums are
located, the runs of both loops of cable extending
longitudinally of the vehicle may each be deflected
horizontally towards the longitudinal central plane
of the load-carrying space around a pair of pulleys
rotatable about vertical axes and in a vertical
direction about a second pair of pulleys rotatable
about horizontal axes, thereby to be taken up and
paid out by the drum which is desirably arranged
centrally and symmetrically to the points at which
the cable engages the second pair af pulleys.If
fittings, such as a hoist or the like, carried by the
end wall, make it necessary to arrange one of the
two cable drums off-set more towards the
longitudinal central plane of the vehicle than the other, it is proposed that this be achieved by
increasing the distance between the first and
second pulleys deflecting one of the loops. This
measure also permits the two cable drums to be
arranged in the central region of the end wall and
the two cable drums can be designed as a single
component.
The pulleys of each first and second pair may
be off-set to each other in the longitudinal
direction of the vehicle by a distance
corresponding to the diameter of the cable drum
in such a way that the two runs of each cable loop
considered laterally run on and off its cable drum
in a vertical direction.
Provided the cable loop is arranged in a bifilar
winding on the respective cable drum, the runs
being paid out or taken up by the drum travel
during actuation of the cover in either direction on
the cable drum in the axial direction thereof to and
fro over the length of the drum in such a way that,
in the two end positions of the cover, they each
extend obliquely from the points of contact with a
second deflecting pulley to one of the end flanges
of the cable drum. To ensure that the two runs of
the cable loop run on and off the cable drum in an orderly fashion, the cable drum is preferably at a distance of at least 1 50 cm from the points of engagement with the pulleys.The total cable length of each loop preferably corresponds to approximately three times the sum of the length of the load-carrying space and the distance between the cable drum and the point at which the cable engages the second deflecting pulleys.

Figure 1 is a schematic side view of a loadcarrying structure provided with a cover as proposed herein,
Figure 2 is a schematic end view looking in the direction of the arrow A in Figure 1,
Figure 3 is a schematic plan view looking in tbe direction of the arrow B in Figure 1, and
Figure 4 is a diagrammatic detailed view of the cable drum shown in Figure 1 but to an enlarged scale.
Referring to the drawings, a vehicle such as a lorry or trailer, has a load-carrying space 1 defined
above a deck and between end walls 11 and 1 7.
The vehicle is provided with a cover for the load
carrying space, the cover including a tilt 6 of
canvas or other material which may be drawn
back from an extended or closed position into a
retracted or open position in which the tilt is
concertinared.
The tilt is supported upon a plurality of hoops 7,
each articulated to two pairs of supporting struts 3
and 4 arranged in groups and articulated to trolleys 5 arranged to run along a pair of laterally spaced guide rails 2. Thus, each hoop is supported by the struts at positions spaced symmetrically from the centre line of the vehicle. The expression "hoop" is used in a broad sense to mean any structural member by which the tilt may be supported. The arrangement may include further hoops, struts and carriages to those shown in the drawings, and the hoop nearest to the wall 11 is fixed to the guide rails or otherwise so as to be immovable. In the closed position of the cover, the hoops are spaced from each other and evenly -distributed along the length of the guide rails.
From these positions, the hoops other than the fixed hoop can be retracted so as to lie tightly against the stationary end hoop, in order to open the cover. To move the cover between the open and closed positions, there are provided two cable mechanisms 8 and 9 which can be operated simultaneously from the ground and each of which comprises a loop of cable forming two runs 1 5 and 16, each of which is anchored at one end to a cable drum 12 or 1 3 arranged at operating height on the end wall 11 remote from the moveable end hoop 10. The movable end hoop 10 is fixed in its longitudinal centre region by means of a cable clamp 14 on the run 1 5 of each loop of cable. The runs 1 5 and 1 6 of each of the two cables are arranged to run one above the other in a vertical plane throughout the length of the load-carrying space, the run 1 5 being disposed above the guide rail 2 and run 1 6 below the guide rail in such a way that the vertical plane in which the two runs of each loop of cable are situated coincides with the vertical longitudinal central plane of the guide
rail. On the other end wall 17, each of the loops of cable is guided around a respective return pulley
1 8 rotatable about a horizontal axis. Each of the pulleys is mounted on an extension of a support strut 1 9 for the respective guide rail 2.On the end wall 11, the two runs of each cable are initially deflected from the longitudinal path which they follow along the vehicle into a horizontal transverse direction by means of a deflecting pulley 20 or 21 respectively rotatable about a vertical axis, and then in a vertical direction downwards by means of a deflecting pulley 22 or
23 respectively rotatable about a horizontal axis.
Each of the two runs 1 5 and 1 6 of each loop of
cable is fixed on one of the two end flanges 24
and 25 of the associated cable drum by means of
a cable clamp 26. On each cable drum the cable is
arranged in a bifilar winding in such a way that
one run is paid out and the other taken up simultaneously, uniformly and synchronously
independently of the rotational direction thereof.
As the cover is opened or closed, the run paid out by the cable drum together with the run taken up by the cable drum travel from one end flange 25 to the other end flange 24 of the cable drum, as shown in figure 2. To avoid an excessive oblique position of the runs 1 5 and 1 6, the cable drum is therefore arranged centrally and symmetrically to the points at which the runs engage the deflecting rollers rotating about a horizontal axis. As shown, particularly in Figure 2 and 3, the two cable drums
12 and 13 are arranged on a common shaft 28 and can be driven simultaneously, uniformly and synchronously, by means of a detachable, slip-on crank handle 29.To fix the cover securely in an optional partly open position, there is provided for at least one of the cable drums a fixing device which, as illustrated, consists of a number of recesses 30 in the external face of the end flange 25 of the cable drum 12 and a fixing peg 33 which is arranged on one of the side cheeks 31 of the bearing block 32 holding this cable drum and engages in one of the recesses 30 in the locked position.To ensure that the cable is paid out and taken up exactly, it is proposed as shown in particular in Figure 1, that the deflecting pulleys 20 to 23 be arranged as viewed in the longitudinal direction of the load-carrying space at distances from each other corresponding to the diameter of the cable drum in such a way that the runs 1 5 and 1 6 extend in an exactly vertical direction when viewed in lateral projection. Finally, as indicated in
Figure 2, the vertical distance between the points 27 at which the cable contacts the deflecting pulleys rotating about horizontal axes and the cable drum is at least 1 50 cm to facilitate perfect running of the cable loop onto and off the respective cable drum 12 or 13 owing to the bifilar winding of the cable. As shown in Figure 2, one of the two drums can be arranged in conjunction with an extension of the horizontal deflection of the runs 1 5 and 1 6 if one of the cable loops, for example that shown at 8, has to be offset to a greater or lesser extent towards the centre of the end wall 11 if necessitated by special fittings on the end wall 11 or in the region thereof.
