Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for repairing transportation containers, and more particularly to a device that uses a pneumo-hydraulic driving means to repair damage from virtually any section along the inner surface of the transportation container, including perimeter walls, ceilings, door frames, and/or corner posts.
  • the Bieli reference teaches of an electric powered driving means for the pistons without the use of a pivoting arm that can position the repair piston in a safe and effective location. This makes for a much heavier apparatus that is more difficult to transport and operate. It would not be obvious to find a way to configure a pneumo-hydraulic driving means with this apparatus.
  • the pneumo-hydraulic means of the present invention requires foot pedals, an air filter, and a series of conducts that would not be obvious to apply to the Bieli reference.
  • the electric driving means causes Bieli to utilize a plurality of chains to achieve a predetermined height for the repair arm of the apparatus.
  • it only teaches of a repair arm that can be raised and lowered, leaving absent a disclosure that teaches of a method to extend and retract the position of the repair arm.
  • This flaw in the apparatus subject of the Bieli reference leaves out the important safety feature taught by the present invention.
  • the ability to extend or retract the pivoting arm allows a user to separate him or herself from a work site that may expel harmful debris.
  • the electric powered driving means of the Bieli reference can also be subject to short circuits.
  • the present invention uses a pneumo-hydraulic system to repair containers with none of the dangers associated with a short circuit or electrical hazards. If damage is done to the pneumo-hydraulic system, the worst that can happen is an air escape, a relatively harmless consequence.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil utilisé pour réparer un endommagement dans des panneaux de corps métallique d'un conteneur de transport. L'appareil comprend une plateforme ayant des roues qui peuvent éventuellement être verrouillées. L'appareil comprend en outre un bras pivotant qui peut être sélectivement levé, abaissé, étendu ou rétracté pour réparer quasiment n'importe quelle zone d'un conteneur de transport. A l'extrémité du bras pivotant se trouve un élément de bras transversal constitué d'un bras de réparation à piston qui peut être pourvu d'une pluralité d'accessoires en fonction des contours de la surface en train d'être réparée. La zone à réparer peut comprendre des parois de périmètre, des plafonds, des cadres de porte et/ou des montants de coin. Le bras pivotant et le bras de réparation à piston sont entraînés à l'aide d'un système pneumohydraulique qui est plus léger que tout autre système actuellement utilisé sur des dispositifs de réparation pour le transport. La réduction importante du poids permet à l'appareil d'entrer facilement dans des conteneurs de transport et d'être facilement manipulé par un seul opérateur.
