Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention relates to a frame used when transporting garden trees by truck.

PRIOR ART When transporting garden trees, a fork-shaped pedestal with logs arranged in a cross pattern and tied together is usually attached to the torii gate of the truck loading platform, and the tree is suspended from this by a crane, and the garden tree carried on the loading platform is lowered to lean on its trunk. After leaving it hanging, a rope was tied and tied firmly in place.

Problems that the invention aims to solve: Garden trees that lean against a trestle are sometimes supported by the horizontal branches that support the loading platform, putting them at risk of breaking.
In such cases, it is not possible to adjust the height of the crotch using a conventional trestle, and if you want to change the inclination of the garden tree, you must insert a futon or other object at the crotch, or combine it with another log, or use a tied trestle. It is necessary to first solve the problem and change the installation angle of the intersecting logs, which is time-consuming and troublesome.

Furthermore, due to its structure, conventional mounts can only be attached to the torii side, but if you try to lean on the mount, the torii or cabin tends to get in the way of the branches.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention attempts to provide a frame in which the height of the trunk receiving part is adjustable and can be installed at any location on the loading platform. A mounting base, three or more legs that are attached to the mounting base and support the mounting base on the loading platform, and a trunk support part that is attached to one of the legs and protrudes above the mounting base, and that has a trunk holder at the upper end. The present invention is characterized by comprising a movable strut provided with the movable strut, and adjustment means for attaching the movable strut to the leg in an extendable and retractable manner.

Here, the column may be fixed to a mount, but is preferably pivoted and folded to make it convenient to carry. The receiving portion at the upper end of the movable column may be flat, but is preferably curved to prevent the trunk from rolling.

The adjustment means may be such that a movable strut that is slidably fitted to the leg is fixed at an appropriate position with a set screw or the like, and adjustment is performed only by sliding the movable strut, but preferably. It consists of a rough adjustment means and a fine adjustment means. The rough adjustment means is, for example, a pin fitting hole formed in both the movable column and the leg, and a pin inserted into the fitting hole to connect the leg and the movable column. A plurality of them are formed on at least one of them at appropriate intervals in the longitudinal direction. As a means of fine adjustment,
Examples include a screw rod that divides a leg or a movable column into upper and lower parts and connects them, and a screw rod that connects a leg and a movable column, which can be expanded and contracted by rotating the screw rod.

Embodiment An auxiliary stand 2 is pivotally attached to the bending point on the lower side of the mount 1 which is bent in a dogleg shape.Of the tripod that supports the mount 1, two legs 3 are attached to the auxiliary stand 2, and one leg is attached to the auxiliary stand 2. legs 3' are each fixed to the mounting base 1 and the auxiliary base 2
The two legs 2 fixed to the mount can be folded inward, and a cylindrical part 41 with a handle 4 is rotatably attached to the upper end of the leg 3' protruding from the mounting base 1. A pipe 5 having a thread carved therein is screwed into the cylindrical portion 41, and is moved forward and backward through the cylindrical portion 41 by rotating the handle.

That is, when the handle 4 is rotated once, the pipe 5 advances or retreats one pitch. The pipe 5 also has a movable support 7 with an arcuate stem receiving portion 6 at its upper end.
is inserted, and the pin 8 is passed through the fitting hole 9 at the upper end of the pipe and one of the plurality of radial fitting holes 10 formed at appropriate intervals in the longitudinal direction of the movable column 7. Therefore, the movable support column 7 is connected to the leg 3', and by changing the fitting hole 10 through which the pin 8 is passed, the height of the stem receiving portion 6 can be adjusted in several stages.

When using this frame, the pin 8 is passed through an appropriate fitting hole 9 by swinging the branches of the garden tree being carried, and the trunk receiving part 6 is set at an appropriate height. Next, a garden tree carried by a crane is placed against the trunk receiving part 6 with its trunk (preferably, a resin or rubber layer is provided on the trunk receiving part 6 to protect the trunk). When the branch supports the loading platform or is about to support it, turn the handle 4 as necessary to adjust the height of the trunk support.

Effects of the invention As described above, according to this invention, the trunk support part can be adjusted to an appropriate height by swinging the branches of the garden tree, and it can also be installed at an appropriate location such as the rear of the loading platform. There are no torii gates or cabins to get in the way.
