Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a cargo handling aid suitable for use in transporting heavy loads such as kerosene cans, beer cases, cement bags, and the like.

Among cargo handling operations such as kerosene cans and beer cases, it is relatively easy to save labor by using forklifts, etc. when loading and unloading large quantities onto the loading platform of automobiles.
General delivery or loading and unloading items one by one still relies heavily on manual labor, and workers have no means of dealing with the dangers of heavy labor or falling items.

Compared to any other type of machinery, manual cargo handling has the advantage of requiring less time to start work and being able to adapt accurately to changing conditions. It is thought that manual cargo handling aids will play an important role in cargo handling.

Therefore, the inventor of the present invention was concerned that in the past, little consideration had been given to labor-saving when handling cargo manually, and as a result of intensive research, the inventor of the present invention found a method to improve safety and labor-saving performance with simple operation. This invention has been made in such a way that it is possible to do so.

The present invention will be described in detail below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a cargo handling aid (1) according to the present invention. As is clear from the figure, this cargo handling aid (
1) is composed of a pair of (two) belts, and each belt is a body wrap belt (2) fixed to the body (2) (hereinafter referred to as a "body wrap"). The term ``belt'' includes items that are wrapped around the torso or waist, such as pants belts, and items that are wrapped around the chest, and the term ``torso'' should not be understood as being limited to the torso in a narrow sense. )
and cargo handling healds (3) and (3) are connected and intersect (intersection is by hetome (9)). In this example, the torso belt (2) (2) refers to the part that contacts the back and shoulders, and the part that contacts the shoulder is the shoulder rest (L), and the part that connects to the cargo handling heald (3) is the part that contacts the shoulder. It has a connecting ring (11).

FIG. 2 shows a state in which the cargo handling aid shown in FIG. 1 is actually installed, and the method of using the cargo handling aid +11 of the present invention will be described below.

As is clear from the figure, attach the torso belt (2) so that the intersection point of the belt (in this example, the eyelet (9)) is on the back side, and use the same method as a normal belt. Fix it. At this time, the cargo handling held (3) on the back side (3)
) will be positioned so that the free end is beyond the shoulders and in front of the body.

This completes the preparation for cargo handling work, but it is not necessary to make these preparations every time cargo handling is carried out.At the completion stage as shown in the figure, the gripping parts (6) and (6) are attached to the waist belt (2). ), it will not interfere with operations other than cargo handling, so you can leave it on.
Work time can be significantly reduced.

Next, the worker (M) holds the grips (6) and (6) at the tip of the cargo handling heald (3) in both hands, and lifts the cargo to be carried. However, in that case, the arm (A) needs to be slightly bent, and the load of the cargo is transferred to the cargo handling belt (3).
), you will be able to actually lift the load after putting some strain on your shoulders (of course, at this point, you will gradually extend your arms).

In this way, distributing the load to the shoulders etc. using the elastic cargo handling belt (3) before actually lifting the load means that the load is borne in stages. Since the present invention alleviates the shock at the moment of first lifting, which is considered to be the biggest cause of back pain for cargo handlers, such dangers can be fully eliminated. Furthermore, even after lifting the load, the load is distributed over the shoulders and back, making it easier to handle cargo compared to traditional methods that relied solely on the arms.

Moreover, the cargo handling aid +11 of the present invention is made of simple materials and structure, and can be manufactured at low cost. Therefore, it is useful for both manufacturers as it is easy to manufacture, and it is easy for buyers to purchase. It is something.

The cargo handling belt (3) needs to be made of an elastic material such as rubber, but this is not necessary for the body belt (2). However, if the body wrap belt (2) is made of the same material as the cargo handling belt (3), integral molding becomes possible, so the connecting ring (11) may become unnecessary. In addition, the eyelet (9) is designed to be able to rotate around this point so that it can be folded up into a small size when not in use. It's okay.

In addition, the gripping part (6) at the tip of the cargo handling belt (3) has a large number of anti-slip grooves (7) as shown in FIG.
It is a belt that is easy to bend. Therefore, when handling cargo, it is not necessary to change the length of the cargo handling belt (3) itself, as long as the part to be touched is changed from time to time, which simplifies the work. However, this grip part (6
) can be changed in various ways depending on the type of baggage (8), work situation, etc., and the shape shown in this figure does not limit the present invention.

FIG. 4 shows another example of the present invention, in which the belt is entirely made of rubber.

The cargo handling aid (1) mainly consists of a body belt (2) and two cargo handling belts (3), and the cargo handling belt (3) is fixed to the body belt (2) so as to intersect with the body belt (2) at the back. .

In this example, the intersection point of the cargo handling belts (3) and (3) is the one that supports the cargo handling belts (3) and (3) by inserting them into the insertion member (4), which is the same as in the previous example. Although it is slightly different from the above, it may be fixed by other methods, or the cargo handling belts (3) and (3) may be fixed to the body belt (2) in parallel and then the cargo handling belts (3) and (3) are fixed to the body belt (2) in parallel. The belt connecting 3) may also be fixed.

The waist belt (2) is fixed by being inserted into the hook-and-loop fastener (5), but it is secured using the same method as a general trouser belt (as shown in Figures 1 and 2). It's okay.

FIG. 5 shows that using the embodiment shown in FIG.
It is a figure showing when trying to lift up. Worker (M)
bends the waist and bends the arm (A) to grasp the baggage (8) together with the grip part (6), and then lifts the baggage (8) by combining the forces of the arm (A) and the waist.

Fig. 6 shows that an insertion part is provided in the body wrap part (21) of the body wrap heald (2) of the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, and the tip of the cargo handling belt (3) is passed through the insertion part to form two loops. It is something. Here, this insertion part is made by sewing only both ends of the patch cloth (22) to the body wrapping part (2I) so that the space between them can be penetrated, but the invention is not limited to this, and the insertion part is not limited to this. It can be anything. In this way, the present example is very easy to wear and can be worn in the same way as wearing a vest.

FIG. 7 shows the actual baggage (8) using one example of the present invention.
It is shown lifted. Here, luggage (8) is
There are two cases of 20 beer bottles. Normally, only a very strong person would be able to lift the two cases, but it has become clear from various experiments conducted by the applicant that the present invention can be used to lift the two cases relatively easily.

As explained in detail above, the cargo handling aid of the present invention distributes the load of the cargo to be carried to both arms, both shoulders, back, etc., and includes a torso-wrapping belt that is wound and fixed around the torso. ,
The cargo handling belt further comprises a cargo handling heald including a pair of elastic body parts (such as rubber) connected to the body belt, and each end of the cargo handling belt serves as a gripping part, and the cargo handling belt has an elastic body part. By using this, the load of the baggage to be carried can be gradually applied to the shoulders and arms, without hurting the lower back, and the gripping part is made of a flexible material such as rubber. Therefore, it has the advantage that there is no need to adjust the length of the cargo handling belt, so it is a practically useful device that promises extremely easy cargo handling work.
