Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cylinder transport device used for transporting a relatively heavy cylinder, such as a gas cylinder, which is difficult to transport by hand.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG.
There is known a gas cylinder 1 in which a ring-shaped handle 11 is provided above a gas cylinder 1 via a bracket 12.

[0003] In addition, when loading or unloading a cylinder of this kind on a truck, a road plate is erected from the bed of the truck or moved or transported using a forklift.

Further, the cylinder 1 can be moved from the cylinder installation position by, for example, placing the cylinder 1 on a lift table 42 of a cylinder carrier 4 with a lifting device as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 62-36863, and moving the cylinder 1 to a truck. In this case, the lifting platform 42 is raised to the loading platform position by the manual jack 41 and placed on the truck (see FIGS. 5 and 6).

[0005]

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, according to the above-mentioned conventional technology, the cylinder transporting operation involves transshipment of the cylinder to a transporting trolley or the like. After inserting the cylinder into the bottom of the cylinder and mounting the cylinder on the truck, the cylinder is transported with the cylinder tilted, so that a large input is required, and in addition, there is a problem that the work efficiency in moving is extremely poor.

Accordingly, the present invention has been devised in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and enables direct transportation from a truck or the like to a cylinder installation position, eliminating the need for large manpower and significantly improving work efficiency. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cylinder transport apparatus for the purpose of causing the cylinder to be transported.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a transfer device for transferring a cylinder having a handle on an upper portion, comprising: a horizontal base; An insertion hole into which a fork is to be inserted, a caster provided on the lower surface side of the base, a column standing upright at the tip of the base, an upward hook provided at the upper portion of the column to catch the handle, and a column. And an arc-shaped guide provided at a lower portion of the cylinder for holding a body portion of the cylinder.

[0008]

After inserting the left and right forks of the forklift into the insertion holes of the base, the transfer device is connected to the forklift by connecting means such as a chain, and the transfer device is fixed so as not to be detached from the fork.

[0009] Then, a hook provided on an upper portion of a column erected at the tip of the base is hooked on a handle of the cylinder, and at the same time, a body of the cylinder is held by a guide.

When a cylinder is placed on a truck bed using a transport device, the bottom of the cylinder is raised to the bed position and placed on the bed, and then the fork is lowered to remove the hook from the handle.

[0011]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. The present invention is a transfer device for transferring a cylinder 1 having a ring-shaped handle 11 on an upper portion.

The transport device 2 has an insertion hole 28 in which a left and right fork 3 of the forklift 4 can be fitted in a base 21, and the base 21 is provided with a caster 22 in which the transport device 2 can move freely.

At the tip of the base 21, a column 23 is erected substantially at right angles by means of welding or the like.

A hook 24 which can be hooked and held by the handle 11 of the cylinder 1 is provided on an upper portion of the column 23 by welding or the like, and a guide 2 for holding a body of the cylinder 1 is provided on a lower portion thereof.
5 is provided by means such as welding.

[0015]

As shown in FIG. 3, the guide 25 is welded to the support column 23 via a connecting piece 25a, and the side on which the cylinder 1 is disposed is formed in an arc shape, and is stable so that the cylinder 1 does not swing when the cylinder is transported. Hold.

Furthermore, a connection means such as a chain 26 for preventing the transfer device 2 from being detached from the fork 31 is connected to the subframe 27 by welding a subframe 27 between the base 21 and the support column 23. Are located.

[0018]

According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. By inserting the left and right forks of the forklift into the insertion holes of the base, the entire transport device can be freely moved in the direction of the cylinder or away from the cylinder via the casters with the movement of the forklift. Therefore, labor for transferring the entire transfer device manually is not required. Furthermore, when the left and right forks of the forklift are inserted into the insertion holes of the base, the entire transfer device can be moved up and down by operating from the forklift side driver's seat, whereby the upward hook automatically catches the cylinder handle when the fork is raised. The cylinder is lifted, and at this time, the arc-shaped guide uniformly holds the body of the cylinder, so that the cylinder can be freely and safely transported to any position without swinging. All of the above operations can be performed by operation on the forklift side, so that large manpower is not required, and operability can be significantly improved.

Therefore, the work efficiency of transportation or movement is improved.

Particularly, in the case where there are a large number of cylinders or a large and heavy cylinder, the advantage is extremely great.

Further, since the cylinder itself can be moved and transported only by the transporting device and the forklift without touching the cylinder itself, there is no need for labor and labor for tilting and transporting the cylinder manually.
