Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of securely locking tool racks to construction sites, in order to make it more difficult to steal them, at times when they are not under the supervision of a competent operator. The method of this invention relates to a complementary locked tool which prevents access to the part of the frame which constitutes the screw which has the task of clamping the stand between floor and ceiling. This locking tool consists of a padlock (1), bayonet sleeve (3) and a housing (2) which completely covers the screw part of the stand and thereby makes disassembly impossible without access to the lock which can be a padlock of suitable type, size and quality.Application of this tool means that access to the stand's clamping screw is impossible, which makes it impossible for unauthorized persons to disassemble the stand and remove it from the site.

Description

WAY TO LOCK A TOOL STAND WITH A LOCKING DEVICE DESCRIPTION Drawing pages: 1 shows the included parts2 shows the parts adjacent to the tool stand3 shows the locking equipment mounted on the tool stand.

The present invention relates to a method for securely locking tool racks (4 and 6 on pages 2 and 3) at workplaces, in order to make it possible to steal them. The method according to the invention is particularly suitable for preventing theft of machine racks intended for machines for making concrete holes at construction sites. At these workplaces, many people pass by at different times of the day and it is associated with a high risk of theft to leave the racks at the workplace at times when they are not under the supervision of the operator. These racks are very heavy and must be disassembled to remove and reinstall at the next work session. The racks are mounted by tightening them with a screw function between floor (G) and ceiling (T). The method of this invention relates to a complementary locked tool which prevents access of the part of the frame (4 and 6) which constitutes the screw (5) which has the task of clamping the frame between floor and ceiling. Disassembly of the stand by loosening the clamping screw (5). This means that the stand cannot be unscrewed without having access to, first unlock the locking tool (1, 2 and 3) and then turn the release screw (5).

Figure A Shows the components (1, 2 and 3) and how to mount the lock Figure B Shows the lock applied to a stand for concrete drilling, where T is flat against the ceiling and G is flat against the floor.

This locking tool consists of a padlock (1), bayonet sleeve (3) and a housing (2) that completely covers the screw part of the stand. The bayonet sleeve (3) is placed perpendicularly (radially) over the handle (5), then slid, axially, the lock housing (2) up over the bayonet sleeve (3), with its ace emerging from the lower part of the lock housing (2) and the padlock (1) can be applied there protects the lower part of the wings of the lock housing (2), and thereby makes disassembly impossible without access to the lock, which can be a padlock of suitable type, size and quality.

Claims (2)

1. Way to prevent unauthorized access to, and dismantling of, a tool stand in use comprising the steps of: a) hanging a bayonet sleeve (3) arranged with an ear radially over a tool stand's (4,6) clamping screw (5) and thus the cover clamping screw (5) ) for access; b) push a lock housing (2) axially over the bayonet sleeve (3) and the tensioning screw (5) so that the ear of the bayonet sleeve (3) emerges from the lock housing (2); and c) apply a padlock to the ear of the bayonet socket (3) whereby the tension screw (5) is protected and the stand (4,6) is locked. 2. Set according to claim 1 where the lock housing (2) is designed with flanges so that access with breaking tools becomes difficult.
