Abstract

PURPOSE:To offer the fire engine car by which a hose car is loaded in front of the fire engine car so that it can be loaded and unloaded, therefore, road width for the side face of the fire engine car or an open space, etc., being necessary up to the present become unnecessary, fire fighting activity can be executed quickly a distance for carrying various materials and appliances required for other fire fighting activity is shortened remarkably, fatigue of firemen decreases, and they can execute the subsequent fire fighting activity with composure. CONSTITUTION:A hose car 2 is loaded on a hose car loading base 3 in front of a fire engine car 1. On the left and the right of the hose car loading base 3, a hub stopper 4 and a guide rail 7 are provided. In front of the hose car loading base 35 a power gate 5 and a power gate support 6 are provided. A part of the power gate 5 slides and is contained under the hose car loading base 5. The power gate 5 can be folded to the upper side.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fire pump truck which is characterized in that a hose car is loaded on the front of the fire pump truck and the hose car is raised and lowered in front of the vehicle.

0002

[Historic technology] Handrail fire pump trucks were characterized by the fact that a hose car was loaded at the rear of the vehicle.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventional fire pump trucks have a feature in that the hose car is loaded at the rear of the vehicle, so when responding to a disaster such as a fire in an area with narrow roads, it is difficult to get close to the disaster site. Even if the horsecar is unloaded in advance using a wide area of the road or a vacant lot, and the horsecar is powered by human power or power, the horsecar is operated by a person walking while towing it or running at a fast pace. Also,
It is impossible to tow a horsecar on steep uphill slopes, etc.
Furthermore, the hose was forced to be extended due to slow manual labor. As a result, prompt firefighting operations tended to be delayed. The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks and makes it possible to easily and quickly extend a hose using a hose car.

0004

[Means for solving the problem] A hose car loading platform (3) is installed in front of the fire pump truck (1), and a hose car (3) is installed in front of the fire pump truck (1).
2) Provide some sort of device at the front of the vehicle for loading and unloading. The present invention is a fire pump vehicle having the above configuration.

[0005]

[Operation] After the fire pump truck (1) arrives at the disaster site,
Open the bonnet (8), release the hub stopper (4) of the hose car (2), pull out the hose car (2) from the hose car loading platform (3) along the guide rail (7), and operate it together with the power gate support (6). Power gate (5
) and secure it by holding the handle (9), then lower the power gate (5) and tow the hose car (2) to the disaster site.

[0006]

[Examples] Examples of the present invention will be described below. Figure 1 shows the hose car (2) pulled out to the power gate (5). A hose car loading platform (3) is provided in front of the fire pump vehicle (1) to load the hose car (2). Hub stoppers (4) on the left and right sides of the horse car loading platform (3)
will be established. Further, guide rails (7) matching the width of the horse car (2) are provided on the left and right sides of the horse car loading platform (3). In front of the horse car loading platform (3) is the power gate support (6
) and a power gate (5). Power gate (5)
A guide rail (7) is also provided above. Power gate (
A part of 5) is slid and stored under the floor of the horse car loading platform (3). The power gate (5) has a structure that can be folded upward.

[0007]

[Effect of the invention] By providing a hose car loading platform in front of the fire pump truck, the fire pump truck can approach the vicinity of the disaster site even if there is no road width on the side of the fire pump truck to allow the hose car to pass. . The towing distance of the hose car is shortened, and the firefighters are less fatigued, giving them more time to carry out subsequent firefighting operations. Even on steep uphill slopes where it was previously impossible to extend the hose with a hose car, the fire pump truck can now be used to climb steep slopes. Furthermore, the distance to transport the various materials and equipment necessary for firefighting operations to the disaster site can be shortened. Firefighting water can be used near the disaster site, which was previously unavailable due to wide stretches of roads or vacant land. The present invention has the above-mentioned direct and indirect advantages and contributes to reducing damage to human lives and houses due to disasters such as fire.
