Further, since the safety of the worker is ensured through the fall prevention device provided on the support column, it can be used without any trouble even in a wide work range.
According to the second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the effect of the first aspect, by adopting the detecting means, it is possible to notify the dropping position of the support column by a lamp or the like. Therefore, it can be easily recognized that the column is in the lowered position (standing state), and the large vehicle is not run in a state where the column is forgotten to be stored.

It is explanatory drawing of a fall prevention apparatus. It is explanatory drawing of the fall prevention apparatus of the state which bent the support | pillar. It is explanatory drawing of the tank lorry which provided the fall prevention apparatus (storage state). It is explanatory drawing of the state in which an operator starts work. It is explanatory drawing of the state where an operator climbs a ladder. It is explanatory drawing of the state where the worker rose to the landing.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a fall prevention device. The fall prevention device 1 includes a column 2, a retractor-type fall prevention device 3 attached to the tip of the column 2, and a base 4 that holds the column 2.
The column 2 is a metal pipe that is divided into an upper column 5 to which the fall prevention device 3 is attached and a lower column 6 located in the base 4. The lower end of the upper column 5 and the upper end of the lower column 6 are hinges. 7 is rotatably connected. Here, the upper column 5 is formed to be longer than the lower column 6, and a short arm 8 is connected to the upper end of the upper column 5 at a right angle, and the fall prevention device 3 is suspended and supported at the tip of the arm 8. ing. In addition, a grip ring 9 is provided at the upper end of the upper column 5, and a stopper 10 made up of pins projecting orthogonally at both ends is provided above the hinge 7 below the upper column 5.

The lower column 6 has a shape in which the lower end is cut obliquely, and a set screw 11 is screwed in an orthogonal shape at the lower end.
The fall prevention device 3 is, for example, called a bell block (registered trademark), in which a rope 13 having a hook 14 attached to an end is wound and stored in a main body 12 connected to an arm 8. Can be pulled out and stored in an arbitrary length, and is a well-known tool for working at a high place where a brake acts when a sudden tensile load is applied to the rope 13. Reference numeral 15 denotes a cover provided on the main body 12.
The base 4 includes a flat plate-like upper plate 16 and a square cylindrical guard tube 17 attached to the lower surface of the upper plate 16. A holding cylinder 18 for the support column 2 is provided at the center of the upper plate 16. The bracket 19 attached to the lower surface of the plate 16 is provided with a limit switch 20 as detection means, and the tip of the contact 21 protrudes below the holding cylinder 18.

  In the fall prevention device 1 configured as described above, when the support column 2 is inserted into the holding cylinder 18 of the base 4 and the set screw 11 is not screwed into the lower column 6 from above, the stopper 10 contacts the upper end of the holding cylinder 18. It is rotatably held by the holding cylinder 18 at the drop position in contact. In this state, since the hinge 7 is located inside the holding cylinder 18, the bending of the column 2 at the position of the hinge 7 is restricted. At this time, the lower end of the lower column 6 protrudes downward from the holding cylinder 18 and pushes down the contact 21 of the limit switch 20 to turn on the limit switch 20. If the set screw 11 is screwed into the lower column 6 in this state, the column 2 is prevented from coming off from the holding cylinder 18.

  On the other hand, when the holding ring 9 is gripped from the dropping position in FIG. 1 and the support 2 is pulled up until the hinge 7 is exposed above the holding cylinder 18, the support 2 is moved at the position of the hinge 7 as shown in FIG. The upper pillar 5 can be laid down by bending. In this lying down position, the lower column 6 is also moved upward in the holding cylinder 18, so that the limit switch 20 is turned off by moving away from the contact 21.

This fall prevention device 1 is used for a tank lorry 30 as shown in FIG. 3, for example. In this tank lorry 30, 31 is a chassis, 32 is a tank, 33 is a tire, and a landing 34 is provided at the upper rear side of the tank 32, and an operator moves to the landing 34 by a ladder 35 provided at the rear end of the chassis 31. It can be moved up and down.
In the fall prevention device 1, the base 4 is attached so that the upper surface of the landing 34 and the upper surface of the upper plate 16 are flush with each other at the right side of the center in the front-rear direction of the landing 34. At the rear part of the landing 34, a U-shaped receiver 36 is provided for receiving the upper column 5 of the column 2 that has fallen backward. On the other hand, a mooring ring 37 is provided at the side of the ladder 35 on the upper surface of the chassis 31, and a stop hook 38 for temporarily fixing the rope 13 of the fall prevention device 3 is provided outside the intermediate portion of the ladder 35. .

Therefore, when not working at the landing 34, as shown in FIG. 3, the upper column 5 of the support 2 is tilted backward and held by the receiver 36, and the hook 14 pulled out from the fall prevention device 3 is attached to the mooring ring. 37, and the rope 13 is temporarily held on the stop hook 38.
From here, when working at a high place at the landing 34, as shown in FIG. 4, the worker M first attaches the hook 14 removed from the mooring ring 37 to the D ring 41 provided on the waist belt 40 and crashes. The prevention device 3 is connected to itself.
Next, the rope 13 is removed from the stop hook 38, and the upper pillar 5 is erected forward by grasping the grasping ring 9 of the upper pillar 5 while ascending the ladder 35 as shown in FIG. 5.
And if it rises on the landing 34, it will drop in the holding cylinder 18, as shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the support column 2 is fixed at a dropping position that protrudes upward from the base 4. Here, since the lamp 39 that is turned on when the limit switch 20 is turned on is provided in the driver's seat of the tank lorry 30, it can be confirmed that the column 2 is standing in the driver's seat.

Thus, since the state where the fall prevention device 3 of the support 2 is connected to the worker M is maintained on the landing 34, the worker M can arbitrarily move by extending the rope 13 in the landing 34. Since the support column 2 can rotate within the holding cylinder 18, the support column 2 follows the operator M as it moves, and the arm 8 and the fall prevention device 3 are turned.
At this time, even if an operator steps off the landing 34, the fall prevention device 3 prevents the fall by the brake action.
After completion of the work, contrary to when ascending, the worker M lifts the support column 2 upward with the hook 14 attached to the D ring 41 and tilts the upper pillar 5 backward, and holds it on the receiver 36. Use the ladder 35 to get off the landing 34. Then, when the ladder 35 is lowered to the ground, the hook 14 is removed from the D-ring 41 and locked to the mooring ring 37, and the rope 13 is temporarily fixed to the stop hook 38, thereby returning to the storage state of FIG.

Here, of course, the fall prevention device 3 and the waist belt 40 are always connected from when the worker M ascends the ladder 35 for work until when the worker M descends the ladder 35 after the completion of work. Therefore, safety is improved, and even if the foot is removed from the ladder 35, the fall is prevented.
Even if the operator M forgets to store the column 2 after the work is finished, the lamp 39 is lit in the driver's seat, so that the driver M can recognize it and prevent the tank lorry 30 from traveling as it is.

  Thus, according to the fall prevention device 1 and the tank lorry 30 of the above-described form, the support column 2 that can be bent with the hinge 7 at the intermediate portion, and the rope 13 that is attached to the upper portion of the support column 2 and that has the hook 14. A fall prevention device 3 for working at high places that can be taken in and out, a base 4 that has a vertical holding cylinder 18 that holds the column 2 and is attached to the tank truck 30, a hinge 7 that is provided on the column 2, and a hinge 7 is provided on the holding cylinder 18. And a stopper 10 that abuts the holding cylinder 18 at a dropping position that prevents the column 2 from being bent and restricts the descent of the column 2, and the hinge 7 is exposed above the holding cylinder 18 from the dropping position. By pulling up the support column 2 until it is done, the upper part (upper column 5) of the support column 2 can be laid down. It can be. Therefore, it is possible to secure the safety of work at high places in the tank lorry 30 with a simple and low-cost configuration. Further, since the safety of the worker M is ensured through the fall prevention device 3 provided on the support column 2, it can be used without any trouble even in a wide work range.

  In particular, here, since the limit switch 20 for detecting the dropping position of the support column 2 is provided on the base 4, the support column 2 is in the dropping position (standing state) by notifying the ON of the limit switch 20 by the lamp 39. Can be easily recognized. Therefore, the tank lorry 30 is prevented from traveling in a state where the column 2 is forgotten to be stored.

The strut is not limited to the above-described form, and may be a rectangular tube shape, or the upper pillar arm may be eliminated and the fall prevention device may be hung directly on the upper end of the upper pillar. The lower pillar may also change the inclined surface at the lower end. In addition, the upper pillar and the lower pillar can have the same length.
In the above embodiment, the stopper is also provided with the stopper provided on the upper column in contact with the holding cylinder. For example, the stopper provided on the inner surface of the holding cylinder is provided with a vertical hole or groove in the vertical direction provided on the lower column below the hinge. It is possible to restrict the drop position by the stopper being in contact with the upper end of the long hole or the concave groove.

The detection means is not limited to the limit switch, and a photoelectric non-contact switch or the like can be adopted. The lamp is also provided on the outer surface of the chassis or on the outside of the landing other than the driver's seat (or in addition to the driver's seat). In addition to the lamp (or in addition to the lamp), the reporting position of the support column can be reported by other reporting means such as a buzzer or voice. Conversely, the detection means and the notification means can be omitted.
As for the base, as well as changing the shape of the upper plate and the guard cylinder, the guard cylinder may be omitted, or if the detection means is not used, only the holding cylinder may be attached to the landing. The holding cylinder does not need to be a complete cylinder, and can be divided by an axial slit or can be formed by a plurality of cylinders that are short in the axial direction.
