Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a frame for transporting a drum around which cables and the like are wound.

Conventionally, transporting drums has had the following problems.

(1) On the transport vehicle, the drum was supported by a drum shaft inserted through the drum, making transportation unstable and requiring accessories such as stoppers.

(2) When transporting large drums, the height of the drum on the vehicle became high, which caused problems for road traffic.

(3) To lower the height, drop the bottom of the drum (
(lower than the average cargo bed height), which lowered the bottom of the transport vehicle's cargo bed and lowered the vehicle restriction ordinance.

(4) Transport vehicles of different sizes were required depending on the size of the drum.

In view of this situation, the present invention aims to provide a frame for transporting drums that can eliminate or improve all of the above problems.

The configuration of the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to the drawings showing one embodiment.

In Fig. 1, numeral 1 denotes a main frame, which is provided in pairs on both sides, with a recess 2 in the center for placing the drum.
is provided.

A plurality of drum pedestals 3 are provided in this recessed portion 2, and the drum flange is stably supported by the drum pedestals 3.

Furthermore, a pedestal 4 for the drum shaft C is provided in the center of the recess 2, and a holder 7 for a jack to move it up and down is provided.

This drum bearing stand 4 is not used for any particular purpose during transportation (though it does not cause any trouble even if used together), but is used when extending the cable wound around the drum D.

The main frame 1 is bridged and fixed at both ends so that the distance between the main frames 1 can be expanded and contracted, and a king pin 5 is provided at the bridge section 14 at one end for connecting to a towing vehicle. The bridge portion 15 at the other end is provided with a mounting pin 6 for connection to a ball trailer.

When the diameter of the drum D changes, the angle of the drum pedestal 3 may be changed, or an adjustment plate 9 may be sandwiched between the drum pedestal 3 and the drum D as shown in FIG.

In FIG. 3, h is the minimum ground clearance and GL is the ground surface.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the main frames 1 on both sides are provided with cylindrical bodies 12 that protrude horizontally toward the inside, and the loose fitting cylinders 13 that fit with the cylindrical bodies 12 are attached to the main frames 1 on both sides. It is provided so as to bridge between frames 1.

The cylindrical body 12 and the loose fitting cylinder 13 are configured to slide against each other, so that the distance between the main frames 1 on both sides that support the weight of the drum can be expanded and contracted in accordance with the width of the drum being transported.

Holes are provided in the cylinder 12 and the loose fitting cylinder 13 at appropriate intervals, and by inserting the frame adjustment pin 8 into the hole, the mutual positions of the cylinder 12 and the loose fitting cylinder 13 are fixed.

Reference numeral 10 denotes frame tightening bolts for bridging and fixing both ends of the main frame 1.

The procedure for adjusting the interval of the main frame 1 is as follows.

■ Loosen the frame tightening bolts 10 at both ends.

■ Remove frame adjustment pins 8 from each part.

(2) Set the main frame 1 to a predetermined required width by sliding the cylinder 12 and the loose fitting cylinder 13.

(2) Align the holes provided in the cylinder 12 and the loose fitting cylinder 13, and insert and fix the frame adjustment pin 8.

■ Tighten the frame tightening bolts 10.

The relationship between the cylindrical body 12 configured in this manner, the loose fitting tube 13, and the frame adjustment pin 8 can be easily understood by referring to FIG. There is no need to worry.

Next, an example of use of the frame for transporting a drum according to the present invention is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

5 and 6 are a plan view and a front view showing an example of the drum transportation frame of the present invention connected to a towing vehicle A by a king pin 5 and connected to a ball trailer B by a mounting pin 6, FIG. 6 further shows the drum D placed in the central recess 2.

The bracket for the jack that raises and lowers the drum bearing stand 4 is not shown because it is configured to be removable.

This figure 6 shows an example of use during drum transportation.
Fig. 7 shows an example of the use of a cable, etc.

A drum D is placed in the recess 2 at the center of the frame, and is supported by a drum holder 3. A jack 11 is installed on the jack holder 7, and a shaft C is inserted into the drum D. 4, and the drum D is slightly raised by the jack 11 to separate the drum D from the drum pedestal 3.

In this way, the cable etc. E is stretched using a wire extension vehicle or the like.

A is a bow wheel, and B is a ball trailer.

The drum transportation frame of the present invention as described above has the following remarkable effects.

(1) The drum collar is supported by multiple drum holders provided on the main frames on both sides, and the interval between the main frames themselves that supports the weight of the drum expands and contracts, so that the width of the main frame can be adjusted according to the width of the drum being transported. Since the drum is configured to be changeable, it is stable and does not move during transportation.

(2) Since a recess is provided in the center of the frame and the drum is placed there, the height of the load is low and does not become an obstacle to road traffic.

(3) The horizontally projecting cylindrical body provided on the main frame and the loosely fitting tube are fitted together and fixed at appropriate positions by frame adjustment pins, and the cylindrical body and the loosely fitting tube are allowed to slide. This allows you to easily adjust the spacing between the main frames.

(4) The spacing between the main frames is fixed with a frame adjustment pin to secure the fitting between the cylinder and the free-fitting tube, so the spacing will not change due to vibrations during transportation, making it safe even for large drums. Can be transported to

(5) Changing the width of the vehicle itself is problematic due to various legal restrictions, but if the frame of this invention is used, there is no need to change the width of the vehicle itself, and it is possible to change the width of the vehicle itself. There is no need to prepare a large number of vehicles, and drums of different sizes can be transported appropriately.
