Definitions

  • the present invention relates to agricultural and other vehicles and, more particularly, though not exclusively, to vehicles comprising a frame and a lifting linkage for the transport, stacking and/or tipping of containers or the like.
  • One object of the invention is to provide a vehicle of this general type which can be adapted in use to different heights of stacking or tipping.
  • the present invention consists in a vehicle comprising a frame, a load-supporting linkage on the frame which can be set at different vertical positions, and means connecting the linkage with the frame for enabling the linkage and a load on it to be tilted about a horizontal axis in relation to the frame.
  • the vehicle comprises longitudinal beams and the linkage comprises two pairs of links which are pivoted together between their ends so as to intersect, lower ends of the links being pivoted on the beams and being arranged to be held at various angular positions by the locking means.
  • the vehicle can comprise pivot means connecting the means with the frame for pivoting movement about its transverse axis to the rear of the vehicle.
  • one link in each pair of links is attached to one of the beams so as to be capable of pivoting and sliding on it and can be locked in relation to the beam and the frame.
  • Two beams can be provided lying on the frame and additionally upper beams connecting the top ends of the intersecting links in each pair can be present.
  • the load carrying container is provided with a downwardly facing shoulder under which upper ends of the links lie, one link in each pair of links having an upper end pivoting on the container while the upper end of the other link of the pair engages the shoulder means in a manner which allows relative horizontal movement.
  • the shoulder means can be in form of means defining a horizontal trough on each side of the container.
  • the vehicle can further comprise rollers, on the upper ends of the links, which run in the two troughs. The upper ends of the other links can fit into downwardly opening pockets on the side of the container.
  • the troughs can be at the front eta:
  • the troughs can be at the front of the container and the locking means can be arranged underneath the troughs, that is to say on the lower ends of the other links.
  • the two front upper ends of the intersecting links can be connected by a cross-bar with each other, the ends of these links being pivoted underneath a rim on the container.
  • the rear upper ends of the two opposite links cooperate with the troughs, and the locking means are at lower opposite ends of these links.
  • the stability of the linkage comprised by the intersecting links can be increased by providing cross-bars connecting corresponding upper ends of the links at opposite sides of the container.
  • upper ends of two corresponding links on opposite sides of the container fit in slots in the container to allow relative sliding and pivoting movement.
  • the slots which can be provided in upper beams of the vehicle, can be at the rear so as to cooperate with upper rear ends of the links while the locking means are provided at the front of the container at the opposite ends of the same links.
  • the container should be arranged to be moved vertically, the longitudinal slots and the locking means can be provided at the front ends of longitudinal beams.
  • the frame can be forked-shaped with three limbs to be aligned with three sides of the container on picking the container up.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of a first vehicle, in accordance with the invention.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 are partial sections on the lines IIII and IIIIII of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 4 shows a further embodiment of the invention.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 are sections on the lines VV and VIVI.
  • FIGS. 7 to 9 each represent a side view of a further embodiment of the invention with certain modifications.
  • FIG. 10 is a plan view, looking in the direction of the arrow X of FIG. 8.
  • a vehicle generally representative of the embodiments of the invention.
  • the vehicle comprises at least one axle with two wheels 2 arranged at the ends of the frame.
  • the frame can be connected with a towing vehicle (not shown).
  • a towing vehicle not shown.
  • Such a possibility is, however, not intended to exclude the arrangement, if required, of one or two front wheels which can be steered Over the two longitudinal parts of the frame lower carrying beams 3, also arranged longitudinally, are provided.
  • each longitudinal beam is attached to the end of the frame 1 by means of a joint 4. Both joints 4 are aligned so as to form or define a horizontal axis about which the longitudinal beam 3 can be swung in relation to the frame 1.
  • the opposite end of the longitudinal beams 3 are connected by separate disconnectable connections 5 with the frame.
  • the two longitudinal beams 3 each carry scissor linkages denoted by general reference numeral 6. These linkages, which are adapted to allow vertical movement of a container 16, consist each of two intersecting links 7 and 8.
  • the lower end of the intersecting link 7 is pivoted on the longitudinal frame 3 at 9 adjacent to the joint 4.
  • the upper end of the intersecting link 8 pivots at one end of the upper longitudinal beam 10 at 11.
  • the other ends of the intersecting links 7 and 8 each run in longitudinal slots 12 in the lower beam 3 and in longitudinal slots 13 in the upper longitudinal beam 10.
  • the joint connection 14 of the upper end of the intersecting link 8 is so arranged that it can be locked in any desired position along the length of the longitudinal slot 12. It thus forms a locking mechanism or part of a locking means.
  • This possibility of locking can also be limited to certain positions, for example a central position and the ends of the slot 12.
  • a hydraulic cylinder 15 is provided, which can be actuated by the supply of hydraulic liquid via ducts and valves (not shown), for example from the towing tractor.
  • a locking mechanism 18 In order to prevent displacement of the container 16 on, and relative to, the upper longitudinal beams 10 on inclination of the beams it is possible to provide a locking mechanism 18.
  • the upper ends of the intersecting links 7 and 8 are connected directly with the container 16, that is to say without the interposition of the longitudinal beams.
  • This provides for a particularly simple and cheap construction.
  • a running rail 19 is provided on each side wall of the container 16 and between the rail 19 and the rim 17, which together form a trough, there runs a roller 20 which is arranged on the upper end of the intersecting link 7.
  • the upper end of the other intersecting link 8 is located by means of a stud 21 in a notch made in a lug 22 or pocket arranged on the container 16.
  • the guide slot 12 and the joint connection 14 are at the lower end of the intersecting link 7.
  • the construction of the invention shown in FIG. 7 differs in that the linkage, that is to say the intersecting links 7 and 8, is differently connected with the longitudinal beam 3 as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 1 as regards the connection of the intersecting links with the container 16.
  • FIG. 8 differs from that in accordance with FIG. 7 in that the rails 19 are associated with the intersecting links 8, while the upper ends of the intersecting links 7 are connected by a transverse bar 23 which increases the stability of the linkage.
  • This bar 23 is enveloped by the rim 24 in order to prevent longitudinal displacement of the container 16. When the container is raised, it moves to the rear. As regards tilting this presents an advantage, as the lip or edge of the container over which the load is discharged is displaced to the rear of the wheels.
  • the joint connection to the fore is less likely to be dirtied by the wheels of the vehicle.
  • FIG. 9 differs from that in accordance with FIG. 8 in that, as is the case with the construction of FIG. 4, the intersecting links 7 and 8 are carried on the longitudinal beam 3.
  • the vehicle in accordance with the invention is driven up to the container 16 resting on the ground until the two limbs, which are parallel, of the forkedshaped frame 1 are aligned with the two sides of the container.
  • the hydraulic cylinder 15 By operating the hydraulic cylinder 15 the two longitudinal beams 10 come to engage the undersurface of the rim 17 of the container 16 and the container is raised.
  • the frame 1 is so driven up to the container that the studs 21 at the upper end of the corresponding intersecting links 8 come to lie underneath the lugs 22 of the container 16.
  • the studs 21 run into the lugs 22, thus preventing longitudinal displacement of the container 16.
  • the transverse bar 23 comes to lie underneath the rim 24 portion which is transverse, and thus prevents longitudinal displacement of the container.
  • rollers 20 at the upper end of the intersecting links 7 or 8 the rollers come to lie under the rim 17 and on continuing the raising of the linkage run into the troughs formed between the rails 19 and the rim. This prevents lateral displacement of the container. Raising of the container 16 is continued until the desired height for transport has been attained. In this position the joint connection 14, constituting a locking means, is locked by tightening it. If the container 16 is to be tipped while in this position, the connection 5 is undone, so that on continued actuation of the hydraulic cylinder 15 the linkage 6 together with the container 16 is tipped about the joints 4 to the rear. The linkage 6 can be locked by tightening the joint connection 14 at other heights, for
  • the frame 1 is formed of a load-carrying platform, the same operations are possible but the lifting of the container from the ground and the replacement of the container on the ground cannot be carried out in the labor-saving manner described.
  • the lengths of the intersecting links 7 and 8 and the positions of their joints can be such as to cause vertical movement of the container to be parallel to itself.
  • a vehicle comprising a frame, a load-supporting linkage on the frame which can be set at different vertical positions, first means connecting the linkage with the frame for enabling the linkage and a load on it to be tilted about a horizontal axis in relation to the frame, linkage-locking means, said first means comprising longitudinal beams, said linkage comprising two pairs of links which are pivoted together between their ends so as to intersect, lower ends of the links being pivoted on the beams and being arranged to be held at various angular positions by the locking means, a load-carrying container with downwardly facing shoulder means under which upper ends of the links lie, one link in each of said pairs of links having an upper end pivoting on the container while the upper end of the other link in the pair engages the shoulder means in a manner allowing relative horizontal movement.
  • a vehicle in accordance with claim 1, comprising pivot means connecting the beams with the frame for pivoting movement about a transverse axis situated at the rear of the vehicle.
  • the shoulder means are in the form of means defining horizontal troughs at the sides of the container, and the vehicle further comprises rollers, on the upper ends of two of the links, which run in the two troughs and the upper ends of the other links fit into downwardly opening notches at the sides of the container.
  • a vehicle in accordance with claim 8 in which upper ends of two corresponding links on opposite sides of the container fit into slots in the container to allow relative sliding and pivoting movement.
