Definitions

  • the mounting on the container which the fork or arm of a truck or other lifting vehicle engages is in the form of a spiral shaped member which at its smallest radius is adapted to engage the ends of the fork or the arms and the member is pivoted so that its larger radius comes into engagement against the underside of the said fork or arm which then clamps the fork or arm'to the pivotal mount on the container.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a container effected in accordance with the invention, viewed from'the'side, and
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the same containerviewed from the side in raised position.
  • FIG. 3 is a view of the container in discharge posi- .tion.
  • the forks it is necessary for the forks to be tapered in shape, for example, by securing sleeves provided with fittings which co-operate with the containers to the forks.
  • This is a disadvantage since the sleeves must be removed from the forks when these are to be used for transport of other objects. The operator may then forget to replace the sleeves or he may be tempted to avoid the extra work connected therewith, and the containers are then transported and emptied in an unsafe mannen'with risk of injury, both to people and material.
  • Theobject of the present invention is primarily to eliminate the said disadvantage by providing a means which permits locking of the container to the forks, arms or other support members, without it being necessary to form these members in a special manner adapted to the container concerned.
  • the container is a receptacle 1 effected for the purpose with mountings 2 for forks 3 (FIG. 2) on a fork truck which is to lift the container for transport.
  • the container is provided on either side with a pivotable spiral mounting 4 having pivotal axis at 5.
  • the container 1 is disposed in discharge position in that projecting loops 6 are driven into engagement against an edge, whereby the containerl tips about axis 5. It is seen on FIG. 3 how the mounting 4 is alone in securing the container 1 to the end of the fork 3. Due to thezweight of the'container, and the pivotal point 5 which is eccentric with respect to the mounting 4, the desired locking on the free ends of a wholly conventional lifting fork is achieved.
  • a fork lift truck adapted to be'lifted by the forks of a fork lift truck comprising mountings mounted for rotational movement relative to the container on both sides of said container in the form of a curved spiral shaped member, said member at its smallest radius portion being adapted to engage and lock onto the tips of said forks such that as its larger radius portion comes into engagement against the underside of the fork, the fork is locked to said member by the resilient clamping action between the smallest and the larger radius portions, whereby the container can be pivoted relative to said forks and thereby dumped.
