Definitions

  • the present invention is concerned with a fork-lift truck of the type which is provided with a fork-lift means.
  • Fork-lift trucks have widespread application today in every facet of commerce. When they are exclusively used out-of-doors or in uncovered storage areas, they are propelled by conventional internal combustion engines. When they are used exclusively in covered areas, they are provided generally with an accumulator, e.g. a storage battery, and are driven by means of electric motors which are energized by the said accumulator. Such driving systems are well known in the prior art and date back to the first use of electric trucks.
  • fork-lift trucks required that there be available for stacking purposes either empty or full pallets, containers and the like. If such were not available, the trucks would generally stand idle. Furthermore, such fork-lift trucks could not be utilized eflica-ciously in situations requiring the handling of small individual articles, e.g. such as those intended for direct use by the consumer or those which, due to their size, could be transmitted in large amounts in a relatively small package. Thus, forklift trucks have been found not to be particularly useful where it was desired to store such type materials in different designated compartments of shelving or Where it was desired to provide a myriad of different items of such a class in a pallet or container to satisfy a particular need, e.g. to fill the requirements of a customers order.
  • the object of the present invention to provide a fork-lift truck which can be used not only in the manner that conventional fork-lift trucks are commonly used, but also for utilization in warehousing small-type materials such as small. sized packets, polyethylene containers and the like, and which trucks are so-sized as to render them capable of being driven betweenoppositely disposed shelving disposed in close confronting relationship.
  • This makes possible an easy transfer of diverse package goods, individual small-type articles and the. like from thepallets, containers and the like into. the areas of storage designated for suchcornmodities which may be situated at different levels and different places on the same floor and vice versa.
  • the fork-lift truck is thus characterized in that it is not only utilizable for the stacking or movement about of pallets, but is also extremely useful in the partial loading of material contained in a pallet, sequentially, into the various storage areas designated therefor, and, conversely, for the filling of a pallet or container to satisfy a particular customers requirement from various and diverse positions in the storage area. 7
  • This end is achieved by virtue of providing such fork-lift trucks with a moveable loading stand which is disposed in convenient relation to the platform on which the operator of the vehicle positions himself when driving the vehicle from one place to another.
  • the loading stand for the loading and unloading of'a pallet is synchronized for movement with the raising of carrier arms so that the lifted pallet is situated at a good working level over the loading stand, and the convenient loading or unloading position of the pallet is lowermost at approximately the lowermost position of the loading stand.
  • the fork-lift truck since the fork-lift truck, according to the present invention, is to be primarily utilized for the partial or piecemeal loading or unloading in closed storage area, to avoid the development of noxious fumes, it is preferably provided for this purpose with a driving system which is energized by electric means. Moreover, since the fork-lift truck of the present invention is intended to be utilized in connection with storage shelves which are generally in close confronting relation, it is evident that it must be of the smallest dimensions possible. Thus, the use of accumulators as the source of energy for the electric driving system is inconvenient due to space considerations.
  • the fork-lift truck of the present invention is energized from power supplied by a pick-up rail through a cable which is operatively connected to the fork-lift truck.
  • the pick-up rail is of a type well known in the art.
  • the fork-lift truck of the present invention is particularly advantageous since it requires a minimum of space due to the slenderness of its construction. In a preferred embodiment, it is cm. in width.
  • FIGURE 1 is a side elevation view of the fork-lift truck in accordance with the present invention
  • FIGURE 2 shows a plan view of the fork-lift truck in section taken along line IIII of FIGURE 1;
  • FIGURE 3 is a front elevation of the fork-lift truck in section taken along the line III-III of FIGURE 1.
  • the fork-lift truck illustrated in the accompanying drawing, consists of a chassis 1 having mounted thereon front wheels 2 and 3 and rear wheels 4 and 5.

  • Such a key operated switch is known in the art and is not illustrated in detail in the accompanying drawing.
  • the fork-lift truck is propelled by a hydraulically actuated motor 31 (FIGURE 3) whose drive shaft is fixedly secured to the axle of drive wheel 4.
  • Motor 31 is mounted on bearing housing 22 of the rear wheel 4 so that it is positioned on the side of drive wheel 4 which faces rear Wheel 5.
  • shaft 21 and bearing housing 22 of drive wheel 4 are conjointly rotatable and are actuated for such rotation by the exertion of pressure in either direction on the U-shaped steering lever 20.
  • Motor 31 and bearing housing 22 rotate about the axis of shaft 21 and the corresponding axis of wheel 4 which is perpendicular to the plane of the surface on which the fork-lift truck is positioned.
  • U-shaped lever 20 is rotatable only in either direction from the position thereof shown in FIGURES 1 and 2.
  • rotational motion of drive wheel 4, bearing housing 22 and motor 31 about their vertical axes is limited to
  • platform 14 can be extended to a point whereat motor 31, at its limit of movement about the axis of drive wheel 4, does not project from under platform 14 at any time during such rotational movement.
  • the fork-lift truck can be provided with a conventional bumper means, e.g. a rubber disk, a bar or the like which is positioned adjacent the rear edge of platform 14, at such a point whereat motor 31 is permitted to rotate freely within its limits of rotational movement with-out fear of it contacting an object closely adjacent to the truck.

  • Piston 33 carries a freely rotatable chain roller 34 attached thereto by pintle 32a.
  • Movably mounted on chain roller 34 is a chain 35.
  • the chain 35 is secured at one end 36 to the drive control housing and at its other end 37 to frame 8 which is integral with carrier arms 6 and 7.
  • the vertical movement of frame 8 is controlled by runner means provided by the channel-shaped configuration of guide rails 9 and 10.
  • Such channel-shaped guide rails are arranged on the fork-lift truck so that their webbed faces are on the outer sides of the upright rectangular frame of which they, tiebeam 61 and the U- sh-aped reinforcing member form a part.
  • Guide wheels 40 are received in the channel-shaped openings of guide rails 9 and 10.

  • Strips 38 and 39 each carry two of the last-mentioned guide wheels 40 in spaced planer relationship and are integrally fastened at right angles to frame 8.
  • Guide wheels 40 due to their being positioned in the channel-shaped portions of guide rails 9 and .10, function to operatively connect the carriage 90 to the guide rails for vertical sliding movement and against transverse movement relative thereto.
  • a loading stand 11 is arranged for movement within a rectangular opening in frame 8. Stand 11 is operatively supported by guide rails 9 and (10 for lost-motion relative to frame 8 in the following manner.
  • Loading stand 11 is provided, on the side thereof facing guide rails 9 and :10, as best seen in FIG- URE 2, with upright planer bars 12 and 113. Bars 12 and 13 carry perpendicularly disposed thereto at their upper end, supports 44 and 45. The supports 44 and 45 each fixedly carry at their outer ends, roller means 48. The sides of supports 44 and 45, in confronting relation with roller means 48, are juxtaposed to the webs of guide rails 9 and 10 so that roller means 48 bear upon the rearwardly positioned sides of guide rails 9 and 10.
  • supports 46 and 47 Disposed downwardly on bars 12 and 13 from the supports 44 and 45, are supports 46 and 47 which also extend rearwardly at right angles from bars 12 and 13. Supports 46 and 47 have secured thereto by a pintle means rollers 50 and 51. Rollers 50 and 51 bear upon the sides of guide rails 9 and 10 opposite to the sides that roller means 48 bear against and thus combine with roller means 48 to maintain loading stand 11 against transverse movement while permitting sliding movement thereof in a vertical direction along the guide rails.
  • Loading stand 11 has no separate driving means, but it is connected by lost-motion means to frame 8 and arms 6 and 7.
  • Angle plates 52 and 53 extend from bars 112 and 13 over the upper edge of frame 8. Thus, the angle plates always lie over frame 8 and, accordingly, are positioned in the path of upward movement thereof.
  • Loading stand 11 is elevated when frame 8 is moved upwardly.
  • the angle plates are positioned on iron bars 12 and 13 at a height that only permits movement of loading stand 11 in an upward direction when the surface of a pallet to be unloaded lies approximately 80 c.m. higher than the base of the loading stand 11, i.e. at approximately a good working level above the loading stand.
  • the loading stand 11 When lowering frame 8 from an upper position, the loading stand 11 reaches its lowermost position on the fork-lift truck before frame '8 reaches the lowermost position of its movement.
  • the lowermost position of loading stand 11 is determined by projections 54 and 55 which are positioned on guide rails 9 and 10 on the web side thereof as seen in FIGURE 3. Such projections project into the path of vertical movement of supports 46 and 47 on bars 12 and '13.
  • the projections 54 and 55 and the supports 46 and 47 therefore combine to serve as means to limit downward movement of stand 11.
  • frame 8 when frame 8 is actuated in an upward direction by motion imparted thereto via piston 33, after a portion of such upward movement is completed, it engages angle plates 52 and 53.
  • Frame '8 thereafter, carries loading stand 11 with it as it continues its upward movement toward a desired position.
  • stand 11 When frame 8 is actuated in a downward direction from such desired position, stand 11 moves downwardly therewith until supports 46 and 47 engage projections 54 and 55 positioned in the path of movement thereof. On supports 46 and 47 abutting projections 54 and 55, further downward movement of stand 11 is precluded and frame 8 continues the movement thereof to its lowermost position alone.
  • a push-button switch 59 having 3 push-button members for control, respectively, of upward movement *(Up), of downward movement '(Down) and the inoperative condition (Off).
  • This switch is operatively connected to frame 8 and functions as the means for controlling the movement of frame 8 to a desired level.
  • the drive lever 28 functions to actuate the system which imparts propelling motion to the fork-lift truck.
  • the push-button switch 59 functions to actuate the system which is responsible for the vertical movement of carriage and the stand 11 operatively connected thereto.
  • the propelling motion is controlled by motor 31 and the raising and lowering of the carriage 90 is controlled by the hydraulic pressure provided by motor 18 through piston 33 and chain 35.
  • key switch 30 Before any electrical energi-zation of any of the mechanisms of the fork-lift truck can be effected, it is essential that key switch 30 be in closed condition. On insertion of the proper key in the cylinder of the key switch 30 and movement thereof to the operative On position, the fork-lift truck is ready for operation. The circuit to electrical motor 18 can then be completed on movement of main switch 29 to the On position. Motor 18 actuates the hydraulic pump 19. Hydraulic pressure produced by the hydraulic pump acts so long as the carriage 90 is not set in motion so that the unillustrated pressure release valve opens and the pressure fluid circulates in a closed system.
  • Actuation of the drive lever 28 from the Off position into positions which will result in the forward or backward movement of the fork-lift truck opens an electrical control valve (not shown), according to the procedures known in the art, which conducts the pressure fluid in one or the other direction through the motor 31.
  • Drive wheel 4 is then rotated in either the forward or the backward direction of drive.
  • the electric push-button switch 59 as is noted above, when actuated, results in the raising or lowering of carriage 90.
  • the loading stand 11 is shown in dotted lines in its lowermost position. In this position of the loading stand 11, the operator can step from driver platform 14 onto the base of loading stand 11 which is situated at approximately the same height as driver platform 14.
  • plate 62 positioned about the loading stand 11, can be reduced in dimension on one side, preferably the side opposite that which safety device 27 is positioned, to facilitate entry onto the loading stand 11, e.g. the plate 62 can be only 5 to 10 cm. high.
  • the fork-lift truck can be eflicaciously made to perform its intended function by a single individual. This is irrespective of the amount of loading or unloading that is required, or the heights at which certain specified material have to be put.
  • the operator of the vehicle first initiates movement of the truck to a designated storage area. When such area is reached, he merely steps over to the load-ing stand 11 and, when appropriate, elevates the carriage 90 to the desired height.
  • Safety pedals sometimes called dead mans pedals, are provided in the base of the loading stand 11, as illustrated in FIGURES 1 to 3. Such pedals are operatively connected to switch means which are in series with a circuit which includes the push-button switch 59.
  • switch means which are in series with a circuit which includes the push-button switch 59.
  • carriage 90' can neither be raised nor lowered. Only when the individual standing on the loading stand 11 has both feet on such pedals can the raising or lowering of carriage 90 be effected. It is readily apparent that such a feature imparts to the fork lift device of the present invention an effective way of assuring, as much as is possible, the safety of the operator of the fork-lift truck.
  • the so-called dead mans pedal assures that 'a person who is stepping onto the stand 11 does not suffer severe injury by an inadvertent closing of one of the push-button switches on switch 59.
  • the loading stand 11 can be provided, if desired, with a surrounding screen which may be in the nature of 30 to 40 cm. high and thus another safety feature is provided which serves to avoid injury to an alighter who might attempt to mount the loading stand 11 when the system controlling frame 8 is in operation. It is only constructed with a lowered side, as described above, in order to render stand 11 easily accessible to the person stepping from driver platform 14 to loading stand 11.
