- LIFTING DEVICE Filed Nov. 8, 1951 United States Patent Ofice 2,731,842 Patented Jan. 24, 1956 2,731,842 LIFTING DEVICE Ferdinand Braseimann, Ennepetal-Oberbauer, Germany, assignor to Firma Ferd. Braselmann, Ennepetai-Qberbauer, Germany Application November 8, 1951, Serial No. 255,466 Claims priority, application Germany November 9, 1950 11 Claims. (Cl. 74-141.5)
surrounding the shaft, ranged between said forked member is moved stepwise along the shaft.
The novel features which are considered as characteristic for the invention are set forth in appended claims. The invention itself, however, both the line C D of Fig. 4. Referring and first to Figs. 1 to 3, 1 denotes a substantially vertical shaft along which are displaceable a load-supporting forked member 2, a first clamping member 3, and a second clamping member 4. The forked member 2 is provided with an upper or first prong 6 and a lower or second prong 6' which are subprong 5 and the second. prong 6 have apertures sur- The vertical part 6" is provided h a load-supporting extension 6".
The first clamping member 3 and the second clamping member 4 are arranged between the prongs 6 and 6 of the forked member 2, and have apertures provided with tilted walls such as 4' which come into clamping contact with the shaft 1, similar to the tilted walls of the clamping members disclosed in the co-pending patent application Serial No. 226,043, filed May within the space defined member 2. A helical compression spring between the second clamping member 4 and the second prong 6 of 3 an having an inclined Wall on which one faces of the projection 20 slides. stood that the forked members urges the first clamping member tion. It should be noted that this is due not only to the the mutually engaging the recess 21.
The clamping members 3 and 4 have, respectively, peripheral portions 22 and 23 which are turned away from the vertical part 6" of the forked member 2 and are arranged one above the other, the peripheral portion 23 of the second clamping member having a slightly axis of the shaft 1 than of the side Thus it will be under- 2 supporting the load with recesses 24 and 25, which approximately cylindrical space 26 provided near the tip 27 duced so that the latter disclosed hereinafter.
in order to prevent a rotation of the clamping members 3 and 4 with respect to the shaft 1, forked end portions 9 engaging the vertical part 6 of the forked member 2 are provided on the clamping members.
Furthermore, earns 10 and 11 are laterally projecting from the first clamping member 3 and the first prong 6 of the forked member 2, respectively, the purpose of which will be more fully disclosed hereinafter.
The operation of this device is as follows:
If it is intended to lift the load supported by the extension 6 of the forked member 2 and indicated by dotted lines in Fig. the tip 27 of 21 preferably manu- 4. During the clamping member 4 is pressed upwards by the helical spring 5 thus combe repeated any up to the top end of the shaft 1.
6 of the forked member 2 near the vertical part 6" thereof. in order to facilitate this operation the cams 1t) and 11 are provided. The lever 7 is carefully moved downwards in order to slightly turn and thereby release the clamping member 3 from the clamping position thereof whereupon the clamping members 3, 4 and the forked member supporting the load are lowered a short distance after which the lever 7 is swung upwards in order to allow the first clamping member 3 to come again into clamping position. If it is desired to lower the load further, this cycle of operation is repeated as often as desired.
The point of abutment of the lever 7 against the second clamping member 4 has a slightly larger radial distance from the axis of the shaft 1 than the point of abutment of the lever 7 against the first clamping member 3. By this arrangement it is accomplished that the lever 7 during the upward and downward strokes thereof carries out very little or no displacement in the axial direction thereof with respect to the first clamping member 3 so that a force due to sliding of the shorter arm 27 of the lever 7 on the first clamping member 3 is avoided. However, this structure has the disadvantage that the length of the shorter arm 27 of the lever 7 must exceed a definite lower limit, thus limiting the lifting power of the manually operated device. This disadvantage is avoided in the second embodiment of the present invention more fully disclosed hereinafter.
If desired, the forked member 2 supporting the load could be made stationary and the shaft 1 could be moved by the ratchet-like operation of the clamping members 3 and 4.
Referring now to Figs. 4 and 5, showing a shaft 1, a forked member 2a, two clamping members 311, 4a and a helical spring 5 inserted between the lower prong 6a of the forked member 2a having the same functions as the corresponding parts of the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to 3, it will be noted that the driving lever 17 is pivoted by the pivot 18 to the second clamping member 4a, and has an end portion 16 forming the shorter arm of the two-armed lever 17 and being designed as a lifting cam or eccentric having a small inclination.
The vertical part 6a" of the forked member 2a is engaged by forked portions 9a of the clamping members 3a and 4a which have the same function as the corresponding portions of the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to 3. However, instead of engaging the vertical part 6a" from the outside, the forked portions 9a could be designed so as to enter a gro ve provided in the vertical portion 6a". Furthermore, cams 10a and 110 are provided on the first clamping member 3a and the first prong 6a of the forked member 2a which serves the same purpose as the corresponding portions of the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to 3.
Also in the embodiment according to Figs. 4 and S the forked member 2a could be the stationary part and the shaft 1 the movable part, if desired.
It should be noted that in both of the embodiments shown in the drawing, spring 5 urges the lower clamping member upwardly towards the upper clamping memher, and when the lever means shown in the respective embodiments is in an inoperative position, that is, when no lifting force is exerted thereby on the upper clamping member, it will be evident that spring 5 will press the lower clamping member against the upper clamping member, the clamping members in this condition being in rest position, as hereinafter referred to in the claims.
It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together, may also find a useful application in other types of lifting devices differing from the types described above.
While the invention has been illustrated and described as embodied in a jack having a forked member and two clamping members engaging a shaft, it is not intended to be limited to the details shown, since various modifications and structural changes may be made without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
Without further analysis, the foregoing will so fully reveal the gist of the present invention that others can by applying current knowledge readily adapt it for various applications without omitting features that, from the standpoint of prior art, fairly constitute essential characteristics of the generic or specific aspects of this invention and, therefore, such adaptations should and are intended to be comprehended within the meaning and range of equivalence of the following claims.
