INVENTOR.
United StatesPatent O APPARATUS FOR HANDLING SHIPPING DRUMS Norman Sterling, Van Nuys, Calif.
Application August 2, 1954, Serial No. 447,134
2 Claims. (Cl. 294-67) This invention relates to a device for handling drums and the like.
It is frequently necessary in many industries to move heavy steel drums filled with chemicals or the like for use or storage. Such drums are too heavy to be handled manually and consequently various types of lifting and transporting devices have been developed.
It is an object of this invention to provide a device for lifting and transporting drums and the like.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a drum lifting and transporting device which can lift a drum irrespective of its position that is, whether standing on end or lying on its side.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a device of this class which can hold a drum in a pouring position.
Other objects and advantages will be readily apparent from the following description.
This is a continuing in part of my co-pending application Serial No. 366,581, filed July 7, 1953, now abancloned and entitled Method of Handling Shipping Drums.
in the drawings:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device.
Figure 2 is an end view of the drum lifting device.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the drum girdle.
Figure 4 is a section taken along line 4--4 of Figure 2.
Figure 5 is a section taken along line 5-5 of Figure 1.
Figure 6 is a section taken along line 6-6 of Figure 3.
The girdle 18 is formed of three sections 12 14 and 16. Sections 12 and 14 are pivotally connected by each being connected to an arm of hinge 13. The section 16 is also pivotally connected to section 14. This connection is formed by studs 20 formed upon section 14 which project through slots 22. The section 16 has a bead 24 formed thereon which fits into grooves 26 of studs 20 forming a pivotal connection, as best seen in Figure 5.
Each of sections 12 and 16 has fixed thereto a plate 28 which supports posts 30, which are spaced from one another to be diametrically opposed when section 12 is secured to section 16. Section 16 has fixed thereto a pair of brackets 32 which have mounted therebetween shaft 34 which is so supported as to be rotatable. The shaft 34 has a threaded aperture which receives screw 36. Screw 36 carries a nut 38 which bears against slotted bracket 40 when screw 36 is pivoted into slot 42. By turning handle 44 the screw may be moved in shaft 34, thereby clamping the girdle on a drum or releasing same.
A transportation dolly generally designated 45 is provided. The base 46 is formed of three sides of a rectangle open at extremity 48 to receive drum 50. The base is mounted upon four caster wheels 52. At the rear of dolly 45 a pair of spaced upright standards 53 are provided which are each supported by a diagonal brace 54 at its lower extremity and cross brace 55 at its upper extremity.
Pivotally mounted upon each standard 53 is a lifting ice g 2. V arm 56 mounted on a pin such as 58.- The lifting arms are interconnected by a cross brace 60.
A jack 62 is supported upon suitable bracing in base 46 and has its arm 64 pivotally connected to cross brace 5' 60. The jack may be of anytype wellknown to those skilled inthe art;
Each lifting arm 56 is provided at its outer extrennty with slot 66 to receive one of the support posts 30. Each post is provided with a head 68 to prevent the post moving out of the slot in one direction and a clamping mechanism prevents removal of the post in the other direction.
The clamping mechanism comprises a locking plate 70 pivotally mounted in bracket 72 carried by arm 56. The plate 70 carries a screw 73 which screws into tab 74 carried on arm 56 on the opposite side of slot 66 from bracket 72.
Thus it is apparent that dolly 45 may be moved over a barrel or drum irrespective of whether the drum is on its end or on its side. The arms 56 receive posts 30, the girdle having previously been positioned on the drum. With the posts 30 in slots 66 and the clamping mechanism secured the load may be lifted off the ground by actuation of jack 62, to be held for pouring or held for transportation and storage.
Pivotally mounted upon arms 56 are legs 76 which are retained against arms 56 by spring clamps 78. When these legs are pivoted downwardly and arms 56 are horizontal, they will engage the base 46 of dolly 45 and support the drum taking the load off jack 62.
While what hereinbefore has been described is the preferred embodiment of this invention, it is readily apparent that alterations and modifications can be resorted to without departing from the scope of this invention and such alterations and modifications are intended to be Within the scope of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A girdle for lifting a drum, comprising: a wide metal band adapted to be placed around said drum while the latter is resting upon a plane surface in either a horizontal or vertical position and to substantially completely encircle said drum, said band having three arcuate sections two of which are permanently hinged together and the third being removable from the first two, cooperating means adjacent the free end of one of said permanently hinged sections and adjacent one free end of the third section for removably securing said ends in pivotal engagement, cooperating means adjacent the free end of the other of said hinged sections and adjacent the other end of said third section for securing said ends together and for clamping the assembled band around the drum to be lifted, a radially-outwardly-extending lifting post mounted on one of said hinged sections, and a radially-outwardly-extending lifting post mounted on said third section in diametricaly opposed relation to the post on the hinged section when the band is in assembled position upon said drum, whereby one of said hinged sections may be slipped beneath a drum in horizontal position without interference with a lifting post.
2. A girdle adapted to be placed around a drum resting on a plane surface in either a horizontal or vertical position, comprising: a wide metal band having three arcuate sections two of which are hinged together and the third removably engaging the other two, one of said hinged sections and said third section carrying lifting posts extending radially outwardly from said band in diametrically opposed relationship when the band is in assembled position on the drum, cooperating means adjacent the free end of the hinged section having no lifting post thereon and adjacent one free end of the third section for removably securing said ends, and cooperating means adjacent the free end of the hinged section carrying a lifting post and .3: adjacent the other end of said third section for securing said ends together and for clamping the assembled band around the drum to be lifted, whereby said hinged section having no lifting post thereon may he slipped beneath a drum in a horizontal position Without interference with the lifting posts or drum clamping means.
