Description

Feb. 25, 1964 L.-B. JONES CLAMP ARM QUICK CHANGE FIXTURE Filed Oct. 50, 1961 WET/WWW,
United States Patent M.
3,122,252 CLAMP ARM QUICK CHANGE FIXTURE Lorenz Bernard Jones, Houston, Tex., assignor to Anderson, Clayton & (30., Houston, Tex., a corporation of Deiaware Filed Oct. 30, 1961, Ser. No. 148,596 3 Claims. (Cl. 214'750) The present invention relates to an improved fixture for use with industrial lift trucks or the like, and more specifically to an improved fixture for use with clamps mounted on such trucks in releasably securing load transporting arms to clamp frames.
In the past lift trucks have generally been provided with an assortment of clamp arms designed specifically for lifting and transporting assorted loads, such as cotton bales, barrels, pallets, boxes, cylinders and cartons. Often these arms are interchangeable on a particular clamp frame so that one lift truck may be used for a variety of jobs. In the past these arms have been attached to the clamp frame with from eight to ten bolts. Therefore, in order to interchange from one type of arm to another, it is necessary to remove these bolts, take off the first type of arm, and replace it with the second type of arm, then re-insert the bolts and tighten them securely. It is therefore obvious that the prior devices required a good bit of time and effort.
The present invention is directed to a fixture means whereby various interchangeable arms of a clamp may be efficiently and quickly interchanged on a clamp frame with a minimum of time and effort, and which fixture will hold the arm securely for use in the desired manner.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to attain the aforementioned advantages particularly through the use of a quick change ture which will securely hold the load transporting arms.
t is a further object of the present invention to provide a quick change fixture which includes slidably interlocking, mating, wedging surfaces to securely hold the arm in place.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a quick change fixture which provides mating T-head bars and T-slot bars with inclined surfaces therein and includes a simple fastening means, such as a pin, to retain the interchangeable arms on the lift truck or the like.
A further object of the present invention is to provide an improved clamp for use with industrial trucks or the like which includes a clamp frame, clamp arm and quick change fixture, the fixture capable of releasably securing various arms to the frame.
Other and further objects, features and advantages will be apparent from the following description of the presently preferred embodiment of the invention, given for the purpose of disclosure, and taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, where like character references designate like parts throughout the several views, and where:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view showing a lift truck with the present invention installed thereon, with the particular arms designed to lift and carry barrels,
FIGURE 2 is a perspective view of the present invention attached to a conventional hydraulic lift truck clamp frame mechanism,
FIGURE 3 is a perspective side view of a bale arm with the quick change fixture of the present invention installed thereon, and
FIGURE 4 is a perspective top view of the invention as shown in FIGURE 3 when utilized with a bar arm.
The invention in a quick change fixture for use with lift and other industrial trucks generally comprises slidably interlocking members, such as a T-head bar and a mating 3,122,252 Patented Feb. 25, 1964 T-slot bar, each of which includes mating wedging surfaces wherein one of said members is secured to the clamp frame and the other of said members is secured to the load transporting arm so that when load is supplied to the arm the wedging surfaces wedge tightly to securely hold the first member to the second member. The invention also includes a fastening means such as a pin, to prevent accidental release of the arm from the clamp frame when a load is not being transported.
Referring now to the drawings, and particularly to FIGURE 1, a conventional industrial truck 10 is shown having a conventional industrial clamp 12 attached to the vertical standard 14. Extending from the industrial clamp 12 is a pair of arms 16 between which a load, shown as a barrel 13, may be grasped, lifted, and transported. The particular arms 16 shown in FIGURE 1 are designed for carrying barrels, while the arms 16' shown in FIGURE 3 are designed for carrying cotton bales, and the arms 16" shown in FIGURE 4 are for pallets or the like. The conventional industrial clamp 12 also generally includes a frame 15 with two oppositely extensible guides 24 and 32, and such a device is seen in the patent to Sinclair, No. 2,746,630 of May 22, 1956, although only one of the guides need be extensible. The present invention is directed to the quick change fixture 18 for attaching the arms 16 to the industrial clamp frame 15.
Referring now to FIGURES 2 and 3, the quick change fixture 18 generally includes slidably engaging and interlocking members, herein shown as T-head bar 20 and T- slot bar 22. In the disclosure herein given, the T-head bar 20 is shown fixedly attached to an extensible guide 24 of the industrial clamp frame 15, while the T-slot bar 22 is shown fixedly attached to an appropriate arm 16. However, it will become apparent hereinafter that the T- head bar and the T-slot bar may be interchanged.
The T-head bar 21) has an inclined outer surface 26 so that the thickness of the T is greatest at the side opposite where the load will be when the arm 16 is attached. Extending transversely of the long axis and through the T-head bar 20 is a hole 28 into which the pin 36 may be dropped. The opposite guide 32 of the industrial clamp frame 15 is fitted with a similar T-head bar 20.
Referring now to FIGURE 3, attached to the arm 16' is the T-slot bar 22, whose slot is designed to interlock or mate with the T-head bar 20 previously described with reference to FIGURE 2. Extending transversely of the long axis and through the T-slot bar 22 is a hole 34 of approximately the same diameter as the hole 28 previously described with reference to the T-head bar 20 and likewise designed to accommodate the pin 30. The T-slot bar 22 includes a wedge 36 fixedly attached to the head of the T-slot. The wedge 36 is more clearly seen by referring to FIGURE 4 and has an outer surface 33 designed to match with the surface 26 on the T-head bar 2! previously described when the T-slot bar 22 is slidably engaged with the T-head bar 20.
In use, the T-head bars are fixedly attached to the extensible guides 24 and 32 of the industrial clamp frame 15 with the inclined surfaces 26 facing outwardly and with the thinner sections of the T facing the position of the load to be transported. In a similar manner, the mating T-slot bars 22 are fixedly attached to the appropriate arms 16 with the inclined surfaces 38 of the wedges 36 positioned to mate with the inclined surfaces 26 of the T-head bars 20. Thereupon, the arms 16 with the attached T-slot bars 22 are slid over the T-head bar 20, and thus engaging and interlocking therewith, until the inclined surfaces 38 and 26 mate and thus secure the T-head bar 20 and T-slot bar 22 together. Thereupon, the pin 30 is dropped through the mating holes 34 and 28 to prevent the accidental release of the arms 16 from the industrial clamp frame 15. It is thus advantageously seen that by the use of fixture 18, the arms 16 are quickly and simply attached to the frame 15 to form the industrial clamp 12, with a minimum of time and etiort. Furthermore, the arms 16 may be quickly interchanged with other arms, such as 16 or 16", by a simple reverse of the steps heretofore mentioned and the substitution of the other arms 16' or 16".
The pin 30 is utilized as a fastening means to secure the arms 16 to the industrial clamp frame 15 when no load is being transported by the truck 10. It is apparent that many other forms of fastening means may be utilized, particularly should it be desirable to rotate the industrial clamp 12 in a conventional manner. In this situation, a conventional nut and belt or the like (not shown) may be substituted for the pin 30.
The purpose of the mating inclined surfaces is to wedge the T-head bar 20 securely with the T-slot bar 22. Further, this wedging action should take place when the bars are in such a position that a load is being grasped by the arms 16. It is for this reason that the inclined surfaces are positioned to wedge the bars when the extensible guides 24 and 32 are moved to clamp the load. It is therefore apparent that the wedging action may be similarly effected by interchanging the T-head bar 20 with the T-slot bar 22, so long as the inclined surfaces 26 and 38 are directed to wedge the bars when a load is being clamped.
The disclosure described and shown in the drawings of the clamp 12 includes only one fixture 18 for each arm 16. It is apparent, however, that additional fixtures 18 may be utilized stacked either vertically or horizontally, should the particular load to be transported so require.
The present invention, therefore, is well adapted to carry out the objects and attain the ends and advantages mentioned as well as others inherent therein. While a presently preferred embodiment of the invention has been given for the purpose of disclosure, numerous changes in the details of construction and the combination, shape, size and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereafter claimed.
