Abstract

The present invention relates to a coffin trolley comprising a pair of travelling wheels (2) and longitudinally running rails to carry the coffin. The invention is characterized in that a transport handle (7) is arranged at one end of these rails (1), and in that the travelling wheels are linked to a sliding carriage (3) which is displaceable along the rails.

Description

511268 2 unobstructed.

In a preferred embodiment, small, suitably removable support wheels are arranged at the other end of the rails, which means a considerable relief when passing a ledge or a step. See further below.

Drawings: The invention is described in more detail in the accompanying figures, of which figure 1 shows an unloaded conveyor with the support wheels in end position and figure 2 the same in transport position. Figures 3 and 4 show the conveyor with coffin in two different positions, figure 3 in stationary position and figure 4 in transport position. Figure 5 shows an end view of the removed support wheels.

Exemplary embodiment: Figure 1 shows a coffin conveyor according to the invention, where the base and the supporting part of the coffin consist of two parallel rails (1). At one end of these rails a transport handle (7) and a pair of support wheels (2) are arranged, coupled to a carriage (3), slidable along the rails (1), suitably along grooves therein. At the other end of the rails are arranged retractable support legs (6) and removable small support wheels (5).

This end of the rails can be pushed under the coffin when the coffin is loaded (the support legs (6) are of course recessed at this stage).

Then you can move the carriage (3) with the support wheels (2) to a central position of the rail pair (1), and after folding up the support legs (6), the coffin conveyor can be moved easily with the center of gravity placed in the middle of the conveyor. When setting up the coffin, the support legs were used. (See figure 2.) When moving over a flat floor, you can use carrier rollers, arranged in the undersides of the slides (4).

When moving up a ledge, you can use the small wheels (5) in the higher part and when the rear end when the same ledge either fold away the larger support wheels (2) and use the rollers (4) or drive according to figure 2.

Figure 5 shows the end part of the conveyor with folded support wheels (2), suitable in connection with car transport.

Figure 3 shows the conveyor with a coffin erected by means of the support legs (6). In Figure 4, the coffin is arranged for transport to a cemetery or a ledge on the way there.

The device according to the invention can be varied in many ways within the scope of the following claims.
