Abstract

The manipulator trolley for transport in the funeral and hospital branch is characterized in that it replaces a large number of raised tables and different transport trolleys, i.e. transfer becomes completely unnecessary and manual lifting can be entirely eliminated. Previously, for instance, two people were required for loading into and out of a vehicle. Now, one person can manage the entire transport chain alone without assistance and without manual lifting. The use of this trolley manipulator reduces the number of lifts from about 10 as currently required, to none at all through a transport chain from, for instance, the store of coffins to the crematorium or church.

Description

r 509 918 Uppfinningen: Uppfinningen gär ut pá en lösning av dessa och andra närlig- gande problem. Anordningen enligt uppfinningen kännetecknas därav, att den innefattar en ram med tvá lángsidor med fyra hjul eller tvà hjul och tvà stödorgan, där tvá hjul resp. ett hjul och ett stödorgan är belägna under varsin làngsida, vil- ka hjul resp. stödorgan är upp- och nedfällbara och där vart och ett av dessa organ är försedda med drivdon, el-, hydraul- eller manuellt drivna, och där drivdonen är placerade på ramens làngsidor, varigenom en kista eller en sjuksäng får plats mellan långsidorna och kan lyftas upp med hjälp av drivdonen, varefter transport kan ske. 509 918 The invention: The invention is based on a solution to these and other related problems. The device according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises a frame with two long sides with four wheels or two wheels and two support means, where two wheels resp. a wheel and a support member are located below each long side, which wheels resp. support means are foldable and foldable and where each of these means is provided with actuators, electrically, hydraulically or manually driven, and where the actuators are placed on the long sides of the frame, whereby a coffin or a hospital bed can fit between the long sides and can be lifted up with the help of the drives, after which transport can take place.

Med hjälp av denna anordning, vagnmanipulatorn, kan en enda person sköta all hantering, såsom lyft, och urlastning fràn bil, omflyttningar från manipulator till lagerplats, alternativt till katafalkbockar etc, helt utan manuella lyft.With the help of this device, the carriage manipulator, a single person can handle all handling, such as lifting, and unloading from a car, relocations from the manipulator to the warehouse, alternatively to catafalque bucks, etc., completely without manual lifting.

Ramen kan vara U-formad eller rektangulär. Man kommer lätt in under en kista mellan dennas ben utan att hindras av de hit- tils använda transportanordningarnas underreden med deras tvärbalkar, drivdon mm. Man kan vid exempelvis ilastning i bil enkelt förändra kistans tyngspunkt för att underlätta inskjutningen i bilen, och är den kan rulla på bilens last- golv med hjälp av de infällda framhjulen med minimal kraft- insats av en person.The frame can be U-shaped or rectangular. You can easily get under a coffin between its legs without being hindered by the chassis of the hitherto used transport devices with their crossbeams, drive devices etc. When loading in a car, for example, you can easily change the center of gravity of the coffin to facilitate the insertion into the car, and it can roll on the car's load floor with the help of the recessed front wheels with minimal force input by one person.

Ritningar: Uppfinningen är närmare exemplifierad i bifogade ritningar, so9g91al där figur l visar uppfinningsföremàlet (vagnmaniputatorn), sett från sidan,_pch figur 2 densamma, sedd uppifrån. Figur 3 visar ett snitt tvärs genom vagnen i hopfällt läge. Figur 4 visar ett alternativt utförande i uppfällt läge och figur 5a - d detsamma i olika projektioner.Drawings: The invention is further exemplified in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 shows the object of the invention (the carriage manipulator), seen from the side, and Figure 2 the same, seen from above. Figure 3 shows a section across the carriage in the folded position. Figure 4 shows an alternative embodiment in the raised position and Figures 5a - d the same in different projections.

Utföringsexempel: Figur 1 och 2 visar en utföringsform av uppfinningen, vagn- manipulatorn,som bestàr av en grundstomme (1), som till formen bildar ett U. Längs tvá av dess làngsidor är lagrade tvà hjulförsedda ben (3), vilka justeras i horisontell led medelst hydraulkolvar (4), individuella för resp hjul och placerade pà de tvà làngsidorna. Med hjälp av dessa drivdon (4) kan de hjulen uppbärande benen höjas resp. sänkas.Embodiments: Figures 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the invention, the carriage manipulator, which consists of a base frame (1), which in shape forms a U. Along two of its long sides are stored two wheeled legs (3), which are adjusted in horizontal joint by means of hydraulic pistons (4), individual for each wheel and placed on the two long sides. With the aid of these drives (4) the legs supporting the wheels can be raised resp. lowered.

Hjulparen sitta fram och bak i anordningen, och bägge hjul- paren styras på samma sätt, och man kan sá sätt ordna vagnens plan horisontellt och man kan injustera tyngdpunkten så, att minimal kraft frán en person erfordras vid olika i- och urlastningsoperationer. Pilen (12) visar tyngspunktsregler- ingen. I anordningen ingår även lyftklackar, som är vridbara vid påverkan. Som väl framgår ur figur l-3 kan man lätt inskjuta U-balken mellan benen pà en kista utan lyftbehov.The auxiliary pairs sit front and rear in the device, and both pairs of wheels are controlled in the same way, and you can arrange the plane of the carriage horizontally and you can adjust the center of gravity so that minimal force from one person is required in different loading and unloading operations. The arrow (12) shows the center of gravity control. The device also includes lifting lugs, which are rotatable on impact. As can be seen from Figure 1-3, you can easily slide the U-beam between the legs of a coffin without the need for lifting.

Figur 3 visar vagnmanipulatorn i hopfällt läge med kista (14) och grundstomme (1) samt infällda hjul (3) och vridbara lyft- klackar (7).Figure 3 shows the trolley manipulator in the folded position with the coffin (14) and base frame (1) as well as the retracted wheels (3) and rotatable lifting lugs (7).

Figur 4 visar ett alternativt utförande av vagnmanipula- torn, sedd uppifràn. Den består av rambalk (1) med hjul (2), 5.09 918 infällbara handtag (3"), stödben (4“), hydraulstyrning (7') och stödklack (8), som är vridbar c.a 90 grader vid påverkan, se även figur 5 a. Hjulen är vridbart monterade i den inre ládbalken (ll), som i sin tur är justerbar i vagnens längd- riktning, varvid tyngdpunkten kan justeras för att uppnå balanserad transport när stödbenet är infällt.Figure 4 shows an alternative design of the carriage manipulator, seen from above. It consists of frame beam (1) with wheels (2), 5.09 918 retractable handles (3 "), support legs (4"), hydraulic steering (7 ') and support lug (8), which is rotatable about 90 degrees when actuated, see also figure 5 a. The wheels are rotatably mounted in the inner load beam (ll), which in turn is adjustable in the longitudinal direction of the trolley, whereby the center of gravity can be adjusted to achieve balanced transport when the support leg is retracted.

Figur 5 a visar vagnmanipulatorn från sidan. El- och hydraulkolvar har betecknats (7“), och det infällbara hjulet (9) framgår tydligt. Hjulet (9) kommer till användning då vagnen skjuts in eller ut ur en transportbil eller ambulans.Figure 5 a shows the carriage manipulator from the side. Electric and hydraulic pistons have been designated (7 "), and the retractable wheel (9) is clearly visible. The wheel (9) is used when the trolley is pushed in or out of a transport vehicle or ambulance.

Figur 5b visar denna vagn, sedd från kortsidan, och figur 5 c och 5 d i hopfällt skick.Figure 5b shows this carriage, seen from the short side, and Figures 5c and 5d in collapsed condition.

Uppfinningen kan varieras pà mángahanda sätt inom ramen för nedanstående patentkrav.The invention can be varied in many ways within the scope of the following claims.
