Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for providing transport devices, which are movable by hand and space-saving by nesting in rows, each transport device comprises a chassis and at least one equipped with at least one lifting platform loading platform and each loading platform to each one in the rear the chassis horizontal axis is raised and wherein the device has at least one docking point to which the respective first located in the device transport device of a series is docked.
- Means for providing transport devices are known in the preferred form of canopies. Such canopies are commonly found in self-service stores and home improvement stores. In DIY stores in particular, customers prefer to use manually movable transport devices in the form of transport vehicles, which are equipped with a liftable loading platform.
- the means for providing transport devices have at least one docking device, to which the first transport device located in the device is coupled or parked in a row.
- each docking device is formed by a fixedly arranged frame carrying a key located on a chain, which is inserted and locked in the deposit lock during docking of the first transport device.
- the loading platform of the transporting device to be inserted moves onto the rear side of the loading platform of the preceding first transport device, is pushed upwards and slides or slips on further insertion of the transport device to be inserted on the loading platform of the first transport device until the docking process with Help of the deposit lock can be carried out.
- This process is repeated in all other transport devices, which are coupled successively within the forming series.
- the mutual abutment of the loading platforms and the slipping of the inserted loading platform on the upstream loading platform of the transport devices lead to damage to the loading platforms when using the transport devices.
- a transport device in the form of a trolley is proposed in DE 82 14 932 Ul, which has at the front on the underside of its loading platform a movable about a horizontal axis, provided as a lifting element role.
- This solution undoubtedly leads to a reduction in the effort required for the insertion process.
- the extent of damage to the back of the loading platforms has been reduced. But more damage to the rollers have been found, as they must have a relatively small diameter due to the limited space available for the stacked loading platforms available space and thus not withstand the loads occurring in the long term.
- each docking device of the device is equipped with at least one ramp and each ramp has a rising in the insertion direction of the transport footprint, which is intended to reach under the at least one lifting element and for lifting the at least one loading platform of the respective first transport device of a series.
- the loading platform of the thus first transport device also remains in its forwardly rising position because of the ramp. If another transport device is then inserted into the previously docked transporting device, its inclined loading platform, which now also forms a ramp, engages under the lifting element of the second transport device to be inserted and raises its loading platform upward as the second transport device is pushed further.
- the at least one lifting element of the platform of the transporting device to be inserted ascends on the loading platform rising to the front.
- the impact forces which occur when the lifting devices are lifted or pushed against the ramp or onto the rising loading platforms are now substantially smaller than is the case with transport devices according to the state of the art.
- the lifting elements are treated more gently.
- this increases their service life and, conversely, their susceptibility to damage is reduced.
- the proposed solution gives rise to a second decisive advantage. If several transport devices designed as conventional transport vehicles are stacked, the raised loading platform of an inserted second transport device takes a first one in accordance with the prior art Sliding direction of the transport device rising position.
- the loading platform of the third transport device occupies a steeper position than the loading platform of the second transport device. This due to the thickness of the loading platforms increase continues over several subsequent transport devices, until finally take on all other subsequent transport equipment whose loading platforms a very specific angle. For the sake of the expended during Einschiebevorganges effort, so it is not irrelevant whether one inserts a second or fifth or tenth transport device in a row. The effort is once larger or smaller. Again, the proposed solution starts in an advantageous manner. If one chooses from the beginning the slope of the footprint of the ramp so that all platforms of the following transport devices occupy a same angle, so at each devisbenden transport device of the applied force is the same size.
- the angle is lower, but the stack spacing of the individual telescoped transport devices larger. If one decides in the design of the transport equipment for a greater force and for a larger angle of attack of the ramp, the respective stacking distance is reduced. It is therefore at the discretion of the designer of the transport equipment, which force he wants to expect users of the transport equipment. In any case, the proposed solution allows in the interest of users of the transport equipment a very specific design of the transport equipment and the ramp.
- a third advantage finally arises when it comes to collect on parking lots of self-service shops left, designed as a transport vehicles transport.
- it is sufficient to lock the loading platform in a predetermined ascending position in the case of the same transport device.
