Definitions

  • PROFILE SUCH AS THE LIFT FORK OF A LIFTING DEVICE, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME Inventors: Ernst Schmidt, Sven Lennart Ingestad, and Sven Ewert Lindell, all of Mjolby, Sweden Assignee: AB Pygg- OCH Transportekonomi (BT), S 161 11 Bromma, Sweden Filed: June 18, 1974 Appl. No.:480.5l5
  • ABSTRACT A starting sheet like material has a first peripheral portion bent to a suitable obtuse angle. for example 120, and then the same bent part is bent further to an acute angle, for example 45. A peripheral portion of the material adjacent the first bent portion is bent to an approximately right angle and the first bent portion is bent further in fully towards the underlying material of the starting sheet. Then, the previously bent peripheral portions and at least an additional part of the periphery of the profile are further bent at about a. right angle to arrive at a profile having a high degree of strength.
  • FIG/A mizzzl FIG/B FIG/C Sheet 1 of 3 The present invention is directed to a method of manufacturing profiles, especially steel profiles intended for the lift forks of lifting devices, by means of shaping the starting material in a series of defined, consecutive steps, and to the resulting profile.
  • the object of the present invention is to eliminate all these drawbacks while providing a method for manufacturing of lift forks which is considerably simplified and cheapened and adapted to mass production.
  • a method of manufacturing a profile from a starting sheet-like material comprises bending a first part of the starting material at its edge to a suitable obtuse angle, for example 120 (FIGS. 2A and 2C), to form one end of the intended profile; then bending further the same first part of the material bent in the first step to an acute angle, for example 45 (FIG. 3C); bending of an edge portion of the material farther away from said one end of the intended profile to an approximately right angle (FIG. 3D); then bending further the same first part of the material, now at the acute angle, in fully towards the underlying material (F IG. 4C); and then bending more of the material around at least an additional part of the periphery of the profile to form a completing, mainly right-angled edge (FIGS. 5A-5 D) to arrive at a profile having a high degree of strength.
  • a suitable obtuse angle for example 120
  • FIG. 3C suitable obtuse angle
  • FIGS. lA-lD show the starting materiaha sheet or plate of steel or other suitable material of appropriate form and thickness, possibly with one or several holes in the vicinity of its one end, Figs. lB-lD being cross-sections taken at B-B, C-C and D-D, respectively;
  • FIGS. 2A-2D show the material in the vicinity of said end after bending to an obtuse angle a, FIGS. ZB-ZD being cross-sections taken at B-B, C-C and D-D, respectively;
  • FIGS. 3A-3D show the material after bending to the angles b and 0, FIGS. BIB-3D being cross-sections taken at 5-8, C-C and D D, respectively;
  • FIGS. 4A-4D show the material after bending the portion at angle b in towards the underlying material, FIGS. 4B-4D being cross-sections taken at 8-8, C-C and D- D, respectively;
  • FIGS. 5A-5D show the material after further material has been bent around substantially the whole periphery to an approximate right angle d, FIGS. 5B-5D being cross-sections taken at B-B, C-C and D- D, respectively.
  • a sheet of starting material 1 preferably a steel sheet, illustrated which has a hole 2 therein.
  • the starting sheet 1 may include more than one hole 2, or may have no holes therein, depending upon other design considerations.
  • the hole 2 may be provided for access to rolling wheels provided at the forward end of the fork.
  • the starting peripheral portions 3 and 4 of the material 1 are bent to an obtuse angle a, for example so as to provide a profile as shown in cross-section in FIG. 2C.
  • the remaining portions of the starting sheet I are not bent in the first step.
  • the peripheral portions 3 and 4 of the material which were initially bent in the first step are now further bent fully in towards the underlying material of the starting material I.
  • the portions 5 and 6 are not bent in this step.
  • the peripheral portion resulting in the vicinity of the bent over portions 3 and 4 are further bent up to a substantially right angle (1 as illustrated in FIG. 5C.
  • the remainder of the peripheral portion of the starting material is bent to a substantially right angle a as shown in FIGS. 58 and 5D so as to provide a profile having the whole periphery thereof bent, except for the rear end of the profile which, in the case ofa fork lift truck, attaches to the lifting mechanism and is not required to be bent.
  • the front bent over portions 7 and 8 are bent over at approximately right angles d, and as shown in FIG.
  • the portion of the underlying material 1 adjacent the peripheral portions 5 and 6 are also bent over at approximately right angles cl so as to form a generally U-shaped structure, in cross-section, at the peripheral edges of the profile in the vicinity of the portions 5 and 6.
  • the portions 3 and 4 have double bent over construction so as to enhance the structural strength of the resulting profile at these points. If necessary,
  • the double-bent over construction illustrated in FIG. 5C can be extended over a greater length of the resulting profile, depending upon strength requirements of the resulting item.
  • the resulting device as illustrated in FIGS. 5A- 5D has remarkable strength and the manufacture thereof is considerably simplified and cheapened, thereby better adapting same to mass production. Further, since the construction is simple, fewer defects exist in the resulting item, thereby rendering the invention still more economical. Additionally, less skilled manufacturing personnel is required for producing devices according to the present invention as compared with the prior art Welding method.
  • the present invention is particularly suitable for use in manufacturing lift forks for fork lift trucks.
  • Method for manufacturing profiles such as steel profiles for the lift forks of lifting devices, from a sheet or platelike starting material comprising:
