Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to aerial platforms and, more particularly, to such platforms which may be attached to and used with hydraulic cranes.
  • the present invention provides an aerial platform which is pivotally suspended from a bracket pinned to the cross-shafts projecting beyond a side plate on the boon tip of a hydraulic crane.
  • the pivotal suspension permits the platform to remain level as the crane boon is elevated, while the pinned connection to the cross-shafts allow the attachment to be readily removed and re-installed.
  • the platform includes a basket and is positioned adjacent to the boom tip so that tools or other light materials may be exchanged between the ground and the basket by means of the whip line on the crane.
  • a dash pot preferably in the form of an automotive shock absorber, attached between the bracket and the platform controls the rate of movement and hence prevents any sudden rotational movement of the platform relative to the boom tip as the boom is elevated into a desired working position.
  • a hand operated brake is provided to prevent rotation of the platform relative to the boom tip while the platform is occupied and in a working position.
  • a means for storing the platform while attached to the boon tip so that the crane remains operable for certain uses and may also be transported in a normal manner is also provided.
  • a hydraulic crane indicated generally at 10, having a multi-section, extendable boom 12 pivotally mounted on the crane's upper 14.
  • the upper is rotatable about a vertical axis on the lower 16.
  • the entire crane 10 is supported for stability on outrigger jacks 18, which may be retracted to permit the wheels 20 on the lower 16 to engage the ground for transport in a conventional manner.
  • Hydraulic cylinder means 22 is connected between the boom 12 and the upper 14. With both the boom and the cylinder means 22 fully retracted, the boon 12 is oriented as indicated by solid lines and when both the boom and the cylinder means are fully extended, the boom 12 is configured as indicated by dotted lines in Figure 1.
  • An aerial platform 23 is pivotally suspended from a boom tip 24 secured on the free end of the outer section of the boom 12.
  • An auxiliary hoist 26 mounted on the upper 14 has a wire rope 28, commonly referred to as a whipline, wound thereon and trained over a sheave 30, as shown in Figure 2, rotatably carried on a cross-shaft between the side plates, one of which is shown at 32, of the boom tip 24 and an auxiliary sheave 34 on a shaft cantilevered from the tip 24 by means of arm 36.
  • a hook 38 is attached to the free end of the wire rope 28.
  • the hook 38 will, as it approaches the boom tip as a result of the auxiliary hoist reeling in the wire rope 28, be in close proximity to the platform 23 to enable a worker on the platform to remove or attach material from or to the hook.
  • a bracket 44 has a pair of tubes 46 and 48 secured thereon, which tubes engage the ends of the cross-shafts 40 and 42 respectively.
  • the tubes are cross-bored in alignment with bores provided in end fittings on the cross-shafts, one of which is shown at 50.
  • a pair of pins, one of which is shown at 52 inserted through the tube 48 and the fitting 50, releasably secure the bracket 44 to the boom tip 24.
  • the aerial platform 23 includes a basket 54, preferably constructed of an electrically non-conducting material, such as fiberglass, secured to a suspension link 56.
  • the link 56 is pivotally connected to the bracket 44 by means of a pivot pin 58 attached to the link 56 and rotatably retained within a bushing 60 provided in the bracket 44.
  • a dash pot which may be an automotive shock absorber 62, is pivotally attached at 64 to the bracket 44 and at 66 to an arm 68 secured to the link 56. Rotation of the link 56 clockwise, is viewed in Figure 2, will cause extension of the shock absorber 62, and rotation in the opposite direction will cause retraction.
  • the shock absorber 62 will control the rate of such rotation, and hence will preclude any sudden rotational movement to the basket 54 while-the boom is being elevated or lowered.
  • the basket 54 will remain virtually vertical when moved to and from a working position. Movement of the occupant and the shifting of his or her center of gravity resulting therefrom will not cause an unsettling and unexpected sudden rotation of the basket.
  • a brake, indicated generally at 70, is provided to lock the link 56 relative to the bracket 44.
  • the brake 70 includes a rotor sector 72 secured to the bracket 44.
  • Calipers 74 carried by an actuating member 76 secured to the link 56 are capable of engaging the rotor sector 72 to lock the link 56 to the bracket 44.
  • An actuating lever 78 rotatably mounted on the member 76 has a central position, wherein the caliber 74 are out of engagement with sector 72 permitting pivoting of the link 56 relative to the bracket 44, and movement in either directon from its central position causes the caliber 74 to engage to sector 72 thereby locking the link 56 to the bracket 44.
  • Movement of the actuating levers 78 is controlled by a one way control device 80, such as that made by Quadrastat Controls Corp.
  • the control 80 has an input mean 82 and output means 84.
  • a hand lever 86 is affixed to the input means 82 and the link 88 is pivotally connected between the output means 84 and the actuating lever 78.
  • the control permits rotation of the output means 84 when a force is applied to the lever 86, but precludes such movement when forces are applied to the output means 84. Consequently, the brake 70 can be released or engaged only through manipulation of the lever 86, and unintentional release or engagement as a result of vibration or other forces applied to the output means 84 will be precluded.
  • the position of the hand lever 86 when the brake 70 is released is shown by solid lines in Figure 2 and movement of this lever to either of the dotted line positions will cause the break to engage. Thus, should an occupant need to quickly apply the brake 70 he or she would not have to consider which direction to rotate the hand lever; the brake 70 will be engaged with movement in either direction.
  • a loop 90 is attached to the side of the basket 54 adjacent to the boon and along the basket's bottom edge.
  • a stabber member 92 is formed on a bracket 94 attached to the boom 12. The stabber member 92 engages the loop 90 when the basket is held parallel to the bottom of the boom and the boom is then fully retracted.
  • An inclined surface 96 on the stabber member 92 cams the basket 54 upward to facilitate full engagement of the loop 90 by the stabber member 92 should the basket 54 not be perfectly parallel to the bottom of the boom 12.
  • a rope 95 may be attached to a second loop 98 secured to the basket 54 and passed through a third loop 100 attached to bracket 94. Tension force applied to the rope 95 permits rotation of the basket 54 to its proper position for engagement of the stabber 92 with the loop 90 from a remote position. When the boom is then fully retracted, the stabber 92 will engage the loop 90.
