Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a device for stabilizing the driving posture of a vehicle that can be operated while standing, and more particularly to a device that stabilizes the driving posture of a vehicle that can be operated while standing, such as a reach-type forklift equipped with a manual lever type accelerator.

Generally, in stand-up or stand-operated industrial vehicles such as reach-type forklifts that are equipped with a manual lever type accelerator, the left hand operates the steering handle and the right hand operates the accelerator.
Furthermore, many brakes are operated by foot, and in these cases, when operating the vehicle, the driver must put most of his weight on each foot, making the driver's posture extremely unstable. Therefore, there was a problem that stable steering wheel operation and accelerator operation were difficult.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a device for stabilizing driving posture in a standing driving vehicle that allows the driver to operate the steering wheel and accelerator while stabilizing the driving posture. do. According to the present invention, this purpose is achieved in a rear-wheel steering type stand-up vehicle that is equipped with a manual lever type accelerator in front of the steering wheel on one side of the driver's seat located at the rear of the vehicle body and a brake pedal below. , the driver stands with one foot on the brake pedal, operates the steering wheel with one hand, and operates the accelerator with the other hand, while operating the accelerator with the other hand to stabilize the driving position. A device for stabilizing driving posture, characterized in that an inverted U-shaped handle is provided near and in front of the accelerator so that it can be grasped with a part of the hand, and the accelerator is used to perform starting, acceleration, slight movement, and inching. , achieved by.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The details of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings regarding an embodiment applied to a reach-type forklift.

The figure shows the main parts of a reach-type forklift. In the figure, A indicates the space where the driver stands, and the front part is equipped with a manual accelerator lever 1 and three hydraulically operated levers 2. It will be done.
These hydraulically operated levers 2 may be, for example, lift levers, tail levers, or reach levers. Further, a steering handle 3 is provided on the side and is operated while grasping a knob 3a with the fingers of the left hand. Furthermore, a brake pedal 4 is provided at the bottom of the space A, and the driver can apply the brakes to the vehicle by stepping on it with his left foot.

According to the present invention, the above accelerator lever 1
An inverted U-shaped handle 5 is provided near the handle.
This handle 5 is attached to the accelerator lever 1 during operation.
It is in a position where you can hold it while operating it.

The reach-type forklift of this embodiment is a rear-wheel steering vehicle and is provided with a driver's seat, that is, the above-mentioned space A, at the rear of the vehicle, but the fork and wheels are not shown.

Since the embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, when driving, the unstable posture of standing on one leg can be avoided by using the handle 5.
This can be compensated for by squeezing the accelerator, and delicate accelerator operations for slight or inching movements of the vehicle can also be performed extremely easily. If the driver remains in an unstable posture, standing on one leg, not only is it difficult to make delicate adjustments to the accelerator 1, but there is also a risk that the vehicle will run out of control. In particular, starting
When accelerating, turning, and braking, the driver tends to lose his posture due to inertia, but he can stabilize his posture while grasping the handle 5 and operate the accelerator lever 1, handle 3, brake pedal 4, etc. This makes driving extremely stable.
Of course, handle 5 is always accelerator lever 1.
The handle 5 is not limited to being held only when operating the handle 5. For example, the handle 5 may be used to stabilize the posture by stepping on the brake pedal 4 and holding only the handle 5.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but of course the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
Various modifications are possible based on the technical idea of the present invention.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the driver can maintain a stable posture at all times and drive safely and accurately.
