Definitions

• the present invention relates to a mechanical device for moving heavy objects, such as furniture, comprising a frame provided with fastening elements intended to adjust to the objects to be moved and a lifting mechanism resting on a running gear.
• the present invention proposes to find, in certain cases, a solution to the problems of moving heavy objects, in the form of a simple mechanical device, light but efficient, compact, easy to transport, the use of which requires effort. reduced physical, offering multiple possibilities of adaptation and allowing a single person to move the load.
• the device which is the subject of the invention, defined in claim 1 is constructed in duplicate, each element of the pair being, most often, placed against the ends of the piece of furniture to be moved, perpendicular to the length thereof. .
• the parts of the device serving as fixing means face each other, on either side of the cabinet. The numerous possible fixing points make it possible to choose, if necessary, supports against the piece of furniture, which can be lifted and then moved after fastening, joining it together with the two copies of the device.
• the mechanical device for moving heavy objects shown consists of a vertical frame formed by two uprights 1 and two crosspieces 2, the latter supporting two vertical bars 3 with adjustable spacing, of fixing elements made up by supports
• the vertical bars 3 are fixed longitudinally to the fittings 8 and their spacing in the AB direction is possible because the fittings 8 are sliding along the crosspieces 2. They can be locked by means of a screw 9 depending on the width of the object to be moved .
• the supports 4 may have the shape of a square; covered with a protective material 10, they are pivotally fixed by a pin 11 on a support plate 12 pierced with an arcuate or oblique notch 13. The axis 11 engages diametrically in the notch 13, so that the movement of the supports 4 can also follow its layout.
• the notch 13 imparts a clamping movement to the supports 4 when the device is actuated and when said supports 4 bear against the vertical edges of the object to be moved. This possibility of use is useful when the object to be moved does not offer sockets under which the supports 4 could be engaged.
• the support plates 12 are provided with guides 14 allowing the sliding along the vertical bars 3; a fixing clip 15 is used to position each support 4 at the desired height, as a function of the holes 16 staggered along the vertical bars 3.
• T-shaped retractable branches 17 are arranged through upper 8 fittings.
• the undercarriage 6 is retained on the chassis by a spring 18 which can also pass inside the uprights 1.
