Definitions
- a CRANE The present invention relates to cranes and, in particular, to a portable crane for use on a motor vehicle. * BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
- a crane comprising a mounting base rotatably mountable to a tray of a 15 motor vehicle, a base frame member attachable to said mounting base and which extends substantially parallel to said tray, a post which connects at one end to said base frame member and which extends substantially perpendicularly from said base f » -ame member, a lifting arm which pivotally connects to other end of said post, and a brace which extends 20 between said mounting base and said lifting arm, wherein said crane is able to be folded from a use configuration to a folded configuration so that said post, said brace and said lifting arm are substantially parallel when said crane is in said folded configuration.
- Fig. 1 is a side view of a crane of a preferred embodiment illustrated in one operating configuration
- Fig. 2 is a side view of the crane of Fig. 1 illustrated in another 30 operating configuration
- Fig. 3 is a side view of the crane of Fig. 1 illustrated in a folded configuration
- Fig. 4 is a side view of the crane of Fig. 1 illustrated in an intermediate stage of the folding procedure. 35 BEST MODE OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
- the crane 1 is shown as erected in Figs. 1 and 2.
- the crane 1 includes a mounting base 2 which is rotatably mounted into a recess on the tray of a motor vehicle (not illustrated) such as a pickup truck or the like.
- the mounting base 2 includes a round pipe 3 and a circular flange 4.
- the round pipe 3 fits within the recess with the circular flange 4 resting on the tray of the motor vehicle.
- a rectangular hollow section tube (RHS) of a base frame 5.
- the base frame 5 is welded to the pipe 3, and a bracing triangular plate 6 is welded on the opposite side to provide strength.
- a RHS post 7 has a RHS perpendicular connecting member 8 welded to its lower end 9. Another bracing triangular plate 11 is welded at the connection to provide strength.
- the RHS tube of the connecting member 8 is received within the RHS tube of the base frame 5 and a pin 12 is inserted into holes 13 to secure the connecting member 8 and base frame 5 together.
- the post 7 has at its upper end 14 a pair of connecting strips 15.
- the connecting strips 15 are pivotally connected to the upper end 17 of the past 7 by a pin 18 which is inserted into holes 19.
- a winch 20 is attached to a mounting bracket 21 which is mounted on the post 7 via pins 22 which pass through corresponding holes 23 in the post 7.
- the mounting bracket 21 is pivotal about the top pin 22.
- a RHS lifting arm 25 is pivotally connected to the post 7 by the connecting strips 15.
- the connecting strips 15 are welded to both sides of the lifting arm 25 adjacent one end of the lifting arm 25.
- the lifting arm 25 comprises three sections which are telescopically received within each other. Pins 26 are used through holes 27 to provide the actual configuration for use and non-use.
- a wire rope 28 from the winch 20 passes up from the winch 20, through the interior of the telescopic lifting arm 25, and has a hook 29 at its end.
- a RHS telescopic brace 32 is connectable between the connecting strips 31 and another pair of connecting strips 33 which are welded on the top of the mounting base 2.
- the brace 32 is pivotable through pins 34, 35 which pass through holes 36, 37 on the connecting strips 31 and 33 respectively.
- a pin 38 passing through holes 39 in the telescopic brace 32 sets the length of the brace 32 for each particular configuration.
- the crane 1 is illustrated in two use configurations in Figs. 1 and 2.
- the connecting member 8 is received within the base frame 5 and the post 7 is erected with the winch 20 located on the mounting bracket 21.
- the lifting arm 25 is horizontal and telescopically extended.
- the brace 32 is set by the pins 38.
- the crane 1 is rotatable about the axis of the pipe 3 and therefore is able to turn to load or unload the tray of the motor vehicle on which the crane 1 is erected.
- the lifting arm 25 is shown at an angle of approximately 45° to the horizontal.
- the lifting arm 25 has been pivotted about the pins 18 which pass through the holes 19 in the connecting strips 15 and the post 7.
- the brace 32 is extended using the pins 38, with the two sections of the brace 32 are telescopically extended.
- the configuration as illustrated in Fig. 2 is to be used for larger items and for different lifting procedures.
- the crane 1 is no longer required for use, it is folded to the folded configuration as illustrated in Fig. 3.
- the telescopic lifting arm 25 is shortened to its shortest length as illustrated in Fig. 4.
- the pins 26 are used to secure the arm 25 at this length.
- the brace 32 is disconnected from the connecting strips 33 of the mounting base 2 by removing the pins 35.
- the telescopic brace 32 is then shortened to its shortest length as illustrated in Fig. 4, and pivotted around the pin 34 to lie beside the lifting arm 25. In this position, the end of the brace 32 is received between the pair of connecting strips 31 as illustrated in Fig. 4.
- the lifting arm 25 is then able to be pivotted downwardly to then lie vertically alongside the post 7.
- the brace 32 is positioned between the post 7 and lifting arm 25.
- a pin 41 is passed through a hole 42 at the lower end of the post 7 and through holes 43 located in the pair of connecting strips 31. The pin 41 ensures that the post 7, the brace 32 and the lifting arm 25 are secured together.
