Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an auxiliary pawl for a forklift.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a forklift, it is common to carry a product by placing it on a claw provided on the body of the forklift, but when the product suddenly stops or turns suddenly, the product falls from the claw. In some cases, a device is devised to prevent the transported object from falling from the main body nail. Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 59-176895 discloses a structure in which a guard member is attached to a main body claw. The guard member extends laterally from the side surface of the main body claw, and its tip bends to the front. It has an L shape when viewed from above. This guard member prevents the transported article from falling to the side. However, although the structure of this publication is effective for laterally dropping the transported object, there is a problem in that it cannot be suppressed when the transported object falls forward due to a sudden stop or the like. On the other hand, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-34596, a long forklift main body claw is attached with an auxiliary claw that is long in the front-rear direction, and the connecting claw prevents the auxiliary claw from falling off the main body claw. A structure is disclosed in which a scale can be carried.

[0003]

However, in the structure of this publication, there is a problem that the auxiliary claw is attached to the main body side by the chain, and it is not easy to attach and detach the auxiliary claw. The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional problem, and the object thereof is to prevent the transported object from dropping even when the vehicle suddenly turns or suddenly stops, and easily detaches the auxiliary claw. It is to propose an auxiliary pawl for a forklift that can be used.

[0004]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is an auxiliary pawl that is detachably attached to a main body pawl of a forklift truck, the auxiliary pawl including a hollow portion into which the main body pawl is inserted, A locking part that prevents the auxiliary claw from falling from the main body claw by locking the main body claw, a side regulating part that regulates the lateral direction of the transported object, and a front regulation part that regulates the front of the transported item. And is provided.

[0005]

[Function] When attaching the auxiliary claw to the main body claw, the auxiliary claw can be attached to the main body claw simply by inserting the main body claw into the hollow portion of the auxiliary claw. The auxiliary claw prevents the auxiliary claw from falling off the main claw. or,
The side regulating portion prevents the conveyed article from falling to the side, and the front regulating portion prevents the conveyed article from falling to the front.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a forklift truck. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a machine body. The machine body 1 is provided with fixed support portions 2 and 2 extending in the vertical direction, and the support portions 2 and 2 are movable up and down. Attach the main body claws 3 and 3.

FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the main body pawl 3, and as shown in the figure, the main body pawl 3 is composed of a vertical portion 3a and a horizontal portion 3b and is L-shaped in a side view. In the main body claw 3,
The auxiliary claw 5 is detachably provided, and the auxiliary claw 5 has a hollow portion 6 inside as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. An opening 7 is provided at the rear of the auxiliary claw 5 for communicating the hollow portion with the outside.
And a locking portion 8 protruding upward is integrally formed at the rear portion of the bottom surface portion 5a. Further, the front regulating portion 9 is fixed to the front end of the upper surface portion 5b.

A prismatic holding portion 1 is provided at the rear of the upper surface 5b.
1 is fixed, and a screw hole 11a is formed on the upper surface of the holding portion 11. Further, a regulating member 12 is slidably inserted into the holding portion 11, and the regulating member 12 has a prismatic base portion 12
a and a side portion 12b fixed to the base portion 12a, and a tip portion 12c of the side portion 12b is bent at an angle toward the side. The holding portion 11 and the regulation member 12 constitute the lateral regulation portion 13 of the present invention.

A plurality of screw holes 12d are formed along the length direction on the upper surface of the base portion 12a, and the screw holes 12d.
The restriction member 12 is fixed to the holding portion 11 by connecting any one of them with the screw hole 11 a of the holding portion 11 with the screw 14.

To attach the auxiliary claw 5 to the main body claw 3,
As shown in FIG. 4, the auxiliary pawl 5 is slightly tilted, the horizontal portion 3b of the main body pawl 3 is inserted into the hollow portion 6 through the opening 7, and when the horizontal portion 3b is entirely in the hollow portion 6, the auxiliary Level the nail 5. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the upper surface portion 5b of the auxiliary claw 5 is
Is placed on the upper surface of the horizontal portion 3b of the main body pawl 3, and the upper end of the locking portion 8 is located above the lower end of the main body pawl 3, which prevents the auxiliary pawl 5 from falling from the main body pawl 3. It

When carrying a product by such a forklift, the product is placed on the upper surface 5b of the auxiliary claw 5 (portion A in FIG. 2) and carried. At this time, the regulating member 1
2 is located on the side of the transported article, and the front regulating portion 9 is located on the front side of the transported article, and these prevent the transported article from falling to the side or the front during a sudden turn or a sudden stop.

In the above, according to this embodiment, the auxiliary claw 5 has the hollow part 6 through the opening 7 and the horizontal part 3 of the main claw 3.
It can be attached to the main body claw 3 simply by inserting it in b, and the work of attaching and detaching the auxiliary claw 5 can be made extremely simple. Moreover, if the auxiliary claw 5 is attached to the main body claw 3, the auxiliary claw 5 can be prevented from dropping from the main body claw 3 by the locking portion 8, and the auxiliary claw 5 can be prevented from dropping with a simple structure. Further, the position (position in the vehicle width direction) of the regulating member 12 can be changed by shifting and stopping the screw hole 12d of the base portion 12 with respect to the screw hole 11a of the holding portion 11, and therefore,
It is possible to easily cope with transported objects having different widths. Furthermore, by preparing in advance a plurality of auxiliary claws 5 having different front and rear lengths and appropriately replacing the main body claws 3, it becomes possible to easily cope with transported objects having different front and rear lengths.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, the auxiliary claw can be attached to the main body claw only by inserting the main body claw into the hollow portion of the auxiliary claw. It is possible to prevent the auxiliary claw from falling from the main body claw by locking the auxiliary claw on the main body claw. Therefore, the auxiliary claw can be attached to the main body claw and the auxiliary claw can be prevented from falling from the main body claw with a simple structure. Further, the side regulating portion can prevent the conveyed article from falling to the side, and the front regulating portion can prevent the conveyed article from falling to the front.
