AT TOR/VI Y) Patented Feb. 10, 1953 UNITED STATES i l-tl'EE'ENT OFFICE 9 Claims. 1
This invention relates to a hoist attachment for tractors.
The present invention is an improvement upon the subject matter of my United States Patent No. 2,470,857, issued May 24, 1949, and entitled Hoisting Attachments for Motor Driven Vehicles, Such as Tractors.
It is a primary object of the invention to provide a hoisting attachment having exceptional versatility when attached to a tractor, supporting its load directly from the ground, but operable for the transportation of such load under tractor guidance in any direction, and also operable to deliver or remove the load from a truck or the interior of a building without having the vehicle enter the building, and to raise and lower the load from the ground to heights much greater than those possible through the use of my previous apparatus, the load being moved over two distinctly different fulcrums and shifted from one to the other automatically according to requirements.
The manner in which these and other objects of the invention are achieved will appear more particularly from the following disclosure of my invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a view in side elevation of a device embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is a view shown in plan of the device shown in Fig. 1.
The tractor 3 may be of any usual or desired type. It is supported by axles 4 from wheels 5. It has at 6 a power take-off from which a flexibly jointed and telescopically extensible coupling :v
1 leads to a winch drum 8 which is a part of my invention.
The particular tractor disclosed happens to have a bracket at 9 to which I pivotally connect by pintle bolts [B the base portions I I of a frame which comprises a tower for my hoist. The only other connections made to the tractor comprise anchor clamps 12 which are attached to any suitable part such as differential or axle hous ing l3.
As already indicated, the base portion ll of the hoist frame is ivotally connected with the tractor for oscillatory movement in a vertical plane only. In all other directions of movement, it is constrained to move with the tractor. outer end, the cross bar M of the frame base is supported by a pair of spaced caster wheels 15 which carry the load without interfering in any manner with freedom of tractor movement.
Erected on the base H are the upwardly con- At its verging bars [6 and I! which are joined on the top of the derrick-like frame by caps at [8 which are spanned by the pintle bolt l9 upon which an intermediate portion of a boom 20 is pivoted or cradled. The derrick tower may be reenforced in any desired manner by cross bracing at 2|, or otherwise.
The winch drum 8, already referred to, is preferably mounted in the derrick tower. Wound thereon is a cable 23 which leads around a sheave 24 in the inner end of the boom and thence around another sheave at 25 in the outer end of the boom. At its free end portion 26, the cable carries a stop collar 2'! incapable of passing about sheave 25, being too large to pass between the sheave and the stop bolt 28. Beyond this collar 21, the cable terminates in any suitable load sustaining fitting, uch as the hook 29 which may be engaged with a load diagrammatically illustrated at 30. 4
The derrick or tower is desirably inclined somewhat rearwardly above the caster wheels so that it will never tend to overturn toward the tractor. However, it is counter-balanced in any desired degree by tension springs 3| which are connected from the frame members I6 to the anchorage clamps l2 through the intervening turnbuckles 32 which provide for adjustment. Outward oscillation of the top of the tower in opposition to the tension of springs 3! is limited by the chains 33, likewise connected to the brackets l2 and extending thence to connections near the top of the tower.
The free pivotal movement of the cradled boom 20 upon its fulcrum pin i9 is limited at any desired point by connecting one or more chains 35 from the inner end of the boom to hooks at 36 upon the tower, with which selected links at the lower end of the chainsare selectively engaged. Ordinarily, the chain will be so adjusted that the free outer end of the boom cannot descend substantially below the horizontal position of the boom as illustrated in Fig. 1. In this position, the tractor may be backed up to guide the free end of the boom into the open door of a building or into the open rear end of a truck or other place heretofore accessible only with difiiculty. Even with the free end of the boom in any such relatively inaccessible place, it is a simple matter to hoist a weight such as that shown at by attaching the hook 29 thereto, or in any other manner coupling the load with the cable, and starting the hoisting drum or winch 8 upon which the cable is wound. The controls for the hoist are not illustrated, since the tractor itself is ordinarily supplied with controls for its power takeoff, and these may be used to operate the hoist.
With the load elevated above the ground, or floor, or truck bed, it may be carried from point to point simply by operating a tractor in the same manner as if my improved apparatus were not attached thereto, the caster wheels beneath the hoist permitting great freedom of tractor manipulation.
Assuming that after the boom 20 has cleared the door of the building or truck from which the load has been lifted and Withdrawn, and assuming it is now desired to raise the load to some higher elevation, it is only necessary that the winch drum be operated for .such additional amount as will cause the stop collar "2'! to engage the free end of the boom, thereby arrestingirelative movement of the rope 23 respecting the boom. From this point on, the further winding of the rope on the winch drum will tilt the boom itself toward the dotted line position indicated in Fig. 1, thereby turther raising the weight :or load.
When it is desired to 'lower theload, ithe release of the winch drum will "first-permit the boom to drop to-the limit of movement :accommodated by chains 35, and 'hereupon the boom wil remain stationary while the load continues to descend, the cable 23 paying through the sheaves 24 and 25 until the load reaches "the desired'level.
'In addition to enabling any hoist "to reach 'into such inaccessible places-as'buildingsand trucks, it will be observed that thehorizontalreaiwvard =projection of "the boom in the "full line position :of
Fig. '1 adapts it to-operate over wells, mine shafts, or the like, which WOl11d be'diffiOll1P-0f access if the cable sheave were located directly in "the top of the tower or-derrick.
.For controlling the rate of *pay'i'ngout the rope or cable 23 from the winch d-rum 8, I desirably provide, within-the reach of the tractor operator, a brake handle 3*! which controls any suitable brake or drum. Details of the brake are not shown, these being no part of the present invention.
While the boom 29 :has been illustrated as having the form of 'a-truss, tnisbeing desirable, it will .be understood that the invention is not at all limited in this regard.
