Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle for transporting a vehicle, and more particularly to a simple vehicle for towing and transporting an automobile that cannot run on its own due to a breakdown on the road.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a trolley for such a purpose, a truck is provided with a frame body protruding rearward from a luggage carrier, and the frame body is equipped with a crane. There was a simple method of lifting and pulling with a wire, a method of simply pulling a broken vehicle with a wire, and a method of transporting it with a dedicated carrier car.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the above method,
In order to carry it with a dedicated carrier car, you have to purchase an expensive dedicated vehicle. It is difficult to use the truck for other purposes with the method of mounting a dedicated frame on the truck bed, and it is necessary to own the truck as a dedicated transportation vehicle,
It loses versatility. With the wire towing method, a driver is required for both the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle, the slack of the wire must be carefully observed, and the distance between the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle is required. There was a problem such as becoming longer.

[0004]

According to the present invention, a fork-shaped supporting member for supporting the ground contact surfaces of a pair of front wheels or rear wheels of a vehicle from both sides, a frame member for mounting the supporting member, and A wheel that supports the frame member and an elevating device that expands and contracts the relative distance between the support member and the ground. The frame member has a mechanism that expands and contracts the distance between the left and right support members, and the wheel that supports the frame member is a fork. A pair of wheels disposed near a support member that mainly supports the weight of the vehicle and a universal wheel that is disposed in a position in the front direction of the wheels and is configured to be turnable. It is a solution to the problem.

Embodiments will be described in more detail including operation based on the illustrated embodiment. In the figure, reference numerals 11 and 12 respectively denote frame members formed in an L shape, which are combined in a U shape and are integrally connected at one end side by a connecting member 13. The frame member 1
Wheels 51 and 52 are fixed near the other ends of the wheels 1 and 12. The connecting member 13 is provided with a free wheel 53, and supports the frame members 11 and 12 together with the wheels 51 and 52 so as to be movable.

Reference numerals 31, 32, 33, and 34 denote tire receivers that are respectively locked to the frame members 11 and 12, and are fixed to elevating frames 36 and 37 that are vertically mounted on the frame members 11 and 12. . Reference numerals 37 and 38 are jacks for lifting means. Numerals 16 and 17 are engaging holes for positioning which are formed in the frame members 11 and 12, respectively, and 18 and 19 are engaging holes which are formed in the connecting member 13 so as to engage with the engaging holes 16 and 17, respectively. is there. Numerals 14 and 15 are fixing metal fittings arranged on the connecting member 13 for fixing the frame members 11 and 12 to the connecting member 13. Reference numeral 55 denotes an arm that is pivotally locked together with the free wheel 53 and is locked to a bracket 54 that is fixed to the connecting member 13.

In the carriage having such a structure, during transportation or storage, the space between the frame members 11 and 12 is minimized and the arm 55 is swung to be positioned between the frame members 11 and 12 to have the minimum volume. To do so. At the site of a damaged vehicle or the like, the bogie is unloaded from a truck or the like, the arm 55 is swung out to the outside, the space between the frame members 11 and 12 is widened, and the tire receivers 31, 32 and 33, 34 contact the outside of the tire. The width is adjusted in the direction of arrow B according to the type of vehicle so as not to do so. Next, move the truck along with the broken vehicle to receive the tire 3
1, 32 and 33, 34 are moved to exactly the position of the tire, and the jacks 37, 38 are operated to move the lifting frames 35, 36 until the tire receivers 31, 32 and 33, 34 maintain a slight gap with the ground. Let it descend. At this time, the tire receivers 31, 32 and 33, 34 are adjusted in the direction of the position arrow A of the trolley so that the tire contact portions are located on both sides of the ground contact portion.

Next, the frame members 11 and 12 are connected to each other by pushing the frame members 11 and 12 from the side so that the tire receivers 31, 32 and 33, 34 sandwich the ground contact portion of the tire in a fork shape. Engagement holes 14 and 15 of member 13 and frame member 1
At the position where the engagement holes 16 and 17 of the pins 1 and 12 engage, the pin 6
1, 1 are inserted into the engagement holes 14 and 15 for positioning. At the same time, the fixing members 14 and 15 are operated to operate the frame member 11,
One end of 12 is fixed to the connecting member 13. After that, the jacks 37 and 38 are operated to raise the elevating frames 35 and 36.
As the elevating frames 35, 36 rise, the tire receivers 31, 32
33 and 34 are also lifted to lift the tires from the ground, and as a result, the vehicle can be lifted from the ground.

After that, the arm 55 can be pulled by locking it to a towing vehicle, or can be moved manually by pulling the arm 55 within a short distance such as in a factory.
To pull the vehicle off the bogie to the desired position, the bogie can be removed from the vehicle in the reverse order.

In the above embodiment, the elevating frames 35 and 36 are moved up and down with respect to the frame members 11 and 12 in order to levitate the vehicle from the ground.
3, 34 are fixed to the frame members 11 and 12, and wheels 51 and 52
The same action can be achieved by moving the frame up and down with respect to the frame members 11 and 12. Further, although the jacks 37 and 38 are used as means for raising and lowering the elevating frames 35 and 36, an elevating means utilizing hydraulic pressure or pneumatic pressure can also be easily applied and can achieve the same operation as the jack.

As for the free wheel 53, one wheel is shown in the illustrated embodiment, but two wheels can be easily implemented and can be effectively used.

[0012]

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide an inexpensive trolley having a simple structure, and moreover, it can be applied to a wide variety of automobiles such as light automobiles and large automobiles, and an efficiently damaged automobile or the like. Is very effective.
