v @ther obj ect-s andadvantagesj reside in 'cerkthe Arevolving platform of acraneequipped With a `Winch inl accordance With-the present invention, parts being omittedifor the-sakes of illustration; and v Figure 2 is a view in vertical section on line 2 2 of vFigure l, parts'being'omitted and parts being shown in section 'for the Isake ofsimplicity inillustration. 'm Referring to the draWings,` numeral l designates the usual combi/nedy svving-geana'nd roller pathwhich is yrigidlysecured-to fthe usualsub-fraine (not sho-Wn) fastened to the truck or trailer in accordance With the usual"-h practice. Ati-evolving frameor platform 2 is supported for vrotation yon thecOmbined swing-gear and roller :path l `in thel usual manner.
For the dual purposeof constraining'therevolving frame 2 tofk rotation abouta fixed vertical axis and-also for affordingal mounting for the 'Wi nch construction or` attachment to be hereinafter more' fully -de'scribed,fa 'hollow gudgeon pin 3 is interfitted with they `frames l and 2, this pin being suitabletted in an opening 4 -prov-idedfin the frame l1 and in va bushing 5j liningan opening G-formed in vthe revolving` `frame 2. The lower end fiange 7 abutting the frame 1 under the action of a capstan nut construction S which coacts with the upper end of the gudgeon pin 3.
A power plant which may be an internal combustion engine 10 is supported on the revolving frame 2 and the engine shaft has a pinion 11 which meshes with a gear wheel 12 fixed to one end of a jack shaft 13. Oppositely disposed beveled gears 14 are mounted onthe shaft 13 and are selectively clutched thereto by cone clutches 15. These beveled gears 111 constantly mesh with a beveled gear 16 fixed to the upper end of a vertical shaft 17 journaled in bearings provided therefor on the platform 2 and having a spur pinion 18 which meshes with an intermediate gear wheel 19 loosely mounted on a vertical swing shaft 2() rotatably supported in bearings provided on the revolving frame 2 and carrying a pinion 21 which constantly meshes with the fixed swing-gear 1. The gear 19, though Y rotatable on the shaft 20, may be'clutched .clearance is also available.
thereto by means of a sliding clutch member 22 splined on the shaft 20 and having teeth 23 adapted to interlock or intermesh with teeth 24@a formed on a cooperable clutch membe-r 24 secured to the gear wheel 19. Suitable operating mechanism is provided for the lvarious clutches, the operating mechanism for the clutch member 24 being` designated at C.
By suitably manipulating the clutches 15 and sliding the clutch member 22 to intermesh the teeth 23 and 24C, the revolving frame 2 may be swung in one direction or the other.
A vertical winch sh aft 25 is rotatably fitted in the hollow gudgeon pin 3 and projects above the upper end of the gudgeonvpin for a substantial distance. A winch head 26 is suitably fixed to the upper end of this winch shaft 25. lnterposed between the winch head 26 and the upper end of the gudgeon pin 3 and fixed to the winch shaft 25, is a winch driving gear 27, this gear 27 constantly meshing with the intermediate gear 19 of the gear- ,ing which swings the revolving frame 2.
`With this construction the winch head is located at the axis of rotation of the revolving frame and this relation of the winch head to the revolving frame makes it possible to utilize the winch head to pull in any direction regardless of the position of the crane and with the revolving platform positioned as may be desirable. Of course, the revolving platform may be and frequently is rotated to present the best clearance in the direction of pull to prevent fouling of the winch rope. ln this connection it is to be understood that forwardly of the winch head there is a wide clearance for the winch rope. Some lateral The revolving` platform may be `swung in either direction. with facility but it is often inconvenient and undesirable to move the entire crane. Movement of the entire crane is never necessary with applicants construction. The swinggear for revolving the frame is cut out or disconnected from the reversingv clutch arrangement on the jack shaft by suitably manipulating the clutch member 22 and this is done when the winch head is to be rotated.
The winch head is rotated in either direction by selecting` the proper clutch 15. It is to be noted that in any position of the revolving platform the winch head may be rotated in either direction. The winch construction or attachment is extremely simple and involves, in connection with the novel swinggear shown, merely the provision of a hollow gudgeon pin, the shaft 425, winch head 26, and gear 27, and the organization of these elements with the crane structure as hereinabove set out and as shown in the accompanying drawings.
While the winch, when provided, is a permanent part of the crane equipment, it is an attachment in the sense that it is auxiliary or accessory equipment. Nevertheless, the
winch furthers the crane operations and in contributing to this single result, the winch coacts with the swing-gearing which rotates the revolving platform.
The invention claimedl is 1. A winch attachment for use with a crane having a stationary and a revolving frame and a hollow gudgeon pin constraining the revolving frame to rotation on the fixed frame, and comprising a shaft rotatably supported in the hollow gudgeon pin, a winch headl fixed to said shaft above the gudgeon pin, a gear wheel conn-ected to said shaft between the winch and the adjacent end of the gudgeon pin, and means cooperable with the gear wheel' for rotating the said shaft and winch in either direction. 1
2. A. winch attachment for use with a crane having a stationary and a revolving frame, a hollow gudgeon pin constraining the revolving frame to rotation on the xed frame, and clutch controlled gearing for swinging the revolving frame in either direction, and comprising a shaft rotatably supported in the hollow gudgeon pin, a winch head fixed to the upper end of said shaft, and a gear wheel fixed to the winch shaft between the winch head and the gudgeon pin and meshed with the clutch controlled gearing whereby the winch parts may be rotated `in either direction in any position of the revolving frame.
3. A winch attachment for use with a crane having a stationary anda revolving frame, means constraining the revolving frame to rotation on the fixed frame and clutch controlled gearing for rotating the revolving frame in either direction, and comprising a mountingsupporting the winch for rotation about said means as'an axis, a rotatable winch head on said mounting, and a gear' wheel intereonneeted with the Winch head so as to constrain the winch head to rotate therewith, said gear Wheel intermeshing With said clutch controlled gearing and being driven thereby, whereby the Winch head may be rotated in either direction in any position of the revolving frame.
In Witness whereof, I hereto affix lny signature.
