Definitions

• Vehicle or material support trolley Vehicle or material support trolley.
• the present invention relates to a trolley intended to support a material or a vehicle, or a set of materials and allow its easy movement in all directions.
• the object of the invention is to provide a carriage capable of adapting to the shapes and dimensions of the equipment, objects and materials resting on it, by means of adjustment of its support points in length, in height and orientation.
• the patent US-A-1,341,621 describes a carriage comprising an adjustable frame by its two side members associated with non-orientable crosspieces. The possibilities of adjusting the support points and the frame rails are limited to the spacing of orifices which allow the introduction of retaining pins.
• Patent FR-A-2,158,577 describes a removable bench for a lift.
• the shims are adjusted on the side members by means of holes and 'pins.
• German patent DE-A-3,200,300 describes a device with two telescopic beams associated with two rigid beams.
• the precision of adjustment of all the guidance, orientation and support means provided by the anterior devices is precarious, a drawback which the support carriage object of the present invention overcomes.
• the carriage in question is characterized in that the support points of the vehicle or of the equipment are carried by two slides each comprising a guide means and a locking means on a beam resting, at its ends, on two swivel crosspieces fitted with swivel casters.
• the spar is a hollow profile allowing a groove to subsist in which engages a means for guiding the U-shaped sliders arranged astride said spar, each slider comprising a vertical tube on which rests a removable tubular spacer sup ⁇ carrying a screw jack constituting each fulcrum. Each slide is blocked on the spar which it overlaps by means of a screw taking nut in the spar.
• Figure 1 is an elevational view of a carriage 1 according to the invention.
• Figure 2 is a side view.
• Figure 3 is a plan view from above.
• Figure 4 is a sectional elevation view of an adjustable support point of the carriage.
• Figures 5 and 6 show the use of the carriage for moving a vehicle.
• the reference 1 designates the spar of the carriage made in a hollow metal profile whose upper face leaves a groove 2 limited by the folded edges l of said profile.
• This spar 1 rests, by its two ends, on two cross members 3 in the shape of an inverted U and whose lateral wings are cut at an angle to allow the pivoting of wheels 4 mounted in pivoting yokes 5, in known manner, fixed to each end of said crosspieces 3.
• These crosspieces 3 are orientable relative to the spar 1.
• a screw 6, passing through both the spar 1 and the crosspiece 3 acts as an axis capable of being tightened by means a nut which can be operated by hand, in order to block the cross-member 3 in the chosen orientation position.
• a stop 7 integral with the cross member 3 it is impossible to orient the cross member 3 beyond an unstable position of the support.
• each slide 8 can be locked in the chosen position on the beam 1 by means of a screw 9 with an operating lever. The head of this screw rests on the slide 8 and takes a nut in a plate 10 pressing against the internal edges of the spar 1. The operation of the screw 9 secures the slide 8 and the spar 1.
• the slide 8 can be locked in a position where it overflows from the beam 1, which allows the capacity of the assembly to be entered.
• Each slide 8 comprises a candle comprising, as illustrated in FIG. 4, a tube 11 made integral with the slide 8 which it crosses, so that its lower end penetrates into the groove 2 which the spar 1 leaves behind.
• a tubular spacer 12 On this end of tube 11 is supported by a tubular spacer 12 by the internal shoulder which it comprises.
• a nut 13 On the free and narrowed end of the spacer 12, a nut 13 in turn is supported by the internal shoulder which it forms.
• a threaded rod 14 surmounted by a cup 15 in which is fixed a rubber pad 16 . or a gripping means adapted to the ob and supported.
• a particularly advantageous application of the support trolley is its use in a garage, where vehicles have to move from one station to another, or be stored while waiting for the parts. spare.
• These difficult displacements, for vehicles which may be deprived of wheels, placed on fixed jack stands, not maneuverable for mechanical reasons, are made very easy by depositing the vehicle 17 on a " trolley (FIG. 5) or two trolleys (FIG. 6) ).
• the height of the support points 15 is adjusted by maneuvering the rod 14 or the nut 13, which makes it possible to approach the buffer 16 until it touches the chassis of the vehicle. . Then, it suffices to place the vehicle on the support points 15 with a minimum stroke and a contact damped by the rubber pads 16.
• the carriage comprises two longitudinal members arranged in parallel resting on two crosspieces, each longitudinal member comprising two slides.
• the pads 16, or even the cups 15 can be replaced by supports adapted to the shapes of the objects to be moved, such as metal profiles, for example, but not exclusively.
