L'état connu de la technique propose ce type de matériel, objet de plusieurs brevets dont les brevets français n° 2538437 et n° 2741901 et les brevets américains n° 2964293 et n° 3314553.The known state of the art offers this type of material, object of several patents including French patents n ° 2538437 and n ° 2741901 and U.S. Patents 2,964,293 and 3,314,553.

La présente invention a pour objet de supprimer certains inconvénients sous la forme d'améliorations apportées aux appareils existants, de façon à faciliter leur mise en oeuvre, leur manipulation et leur efficacité opérationnelle.The object of the present invention is to eliminate certain drawbacks in the form of improvements to existing devices, so as to facilitate their implementation, their handling and their effectiveness operational.

A cette fin, l'appareil de levage, composé dans sa partie principale d'un mât télescopique dont le déploiement est obtenu au moyen d'un système de mouflage d'un câble activé par un treuil, est caractérisé en ce que le mât est articulé à sa base sur le piétement repliable, de façon à obtenir un appareil totalement replié offrant un encombrement réduit et une parfaite compacité facilitant le transport et le stockage de l'appareil.To this end, the lifting device, composed in its main part a telescopic mast whose deployment is obtained by means of a reeving system of a cable activated by a winch, is characterized by that the mast is articulated at its base on the folding base, so to obtain a fully folded device offering a reduced bulk and a perfect compactness facilitating the transport and the storage of the device.

Selon une autre disposition, le mât se rabat au niveau et en prolongement des trois pieds composant le piétement et sur l'un desquels il vient se verrouiller. Le même système de verrouillage prévu dans une autre pièce du piétement permet de maintenir le mât en position verticale.According to another arrangement, the mast folds down at the level and in extension of the three feet making up the base and on one of which it comes to lock. The same locking system provided in a another part of the base keeps the mast in an upright position.

Selon une disposition particulière, la base non télescopique du mât comporte un dispositif de verrouillage de tous les éléments télescopiques du mât, de façon à solidariser l'ensemble et faciliter ainsi le transport ou les différentes manipulations de l'appareil de levage avant ou après son utilisation. According to a particular arrangement, the non-telescopic base of the mast includes a locking device for all telescopic elements of the mast, so as to secure the assembly together and thus facilitate transport or the different manipulations of the front lifting device or after use.

Selon une disposition avantageuse, deux des trois pieds de piétement sont orientables horizontalement, avec toutefois la possibilité de les immobiliser suivant trois positions au moyen d'un verrou à ressort s'engageant dans l'un des orifices prévus dans une platine solidaire du piétement. Ces trois positions permettent de régler l'écartement des deux pieds orientables, soit dans la position écartée au maximum pour obtenir une bonne stabilité de l'appareil de levage en utilisation, soit dans la position écartement minimum pour permettre le passage dans les portes, soit dans la position dite repliée pour le transport et le stockage de l'appareil de levage.According to an advantageous arrangement, two of the three legs are horizontally orientable, but with the possibility of immobilize them in three positions by means of a spring lock engaging in one of the orifices provided in a plate integral with the base. These three positions allow the spacing of the two adjustable feet, either in the position as far apart as possible for obtain good stability of the lifting device in use, ie in the minimum spacing position to allow passage into the doors, either in the so-called folded position for transport and storage of the lifting device.

Selon une disposition particulière, l'embase du mât est équipée sur sa face inférieure d'un rouleau en matière semi-rigide, non agressive, de façon à éviter le contact des pièces métalliques sur les sols, tout en facilitant le déplacement de l'appareil replié.According to a particular arrangement, the mast base is equipped on its underside of a roller made of semi-rigid, non-aggressive material, so as to avoid the contact of metallic parts on the floors, while facilitating moving the folded device.

Selon une dernière disposition particulière, le préréglage de l'inclinaison du pupitre amovible support de plaque en appui sur l'extrémité supérieure du mât, est obtenu suivant le positionnement d'une poignée mobile immobilisée au moyen d'un ensemble écrou papillon et un axe-vis avec levier excentrique assurant un serrage efficace.According to a final particular provision, the presetting of the inclination of the removable plate support desk resting on the end upper mast, is obtained by positioning a handle mobile immobilized by means of a wing nut assembly and a screw axle with eccentric lever ensuring effective clamping.

    • Suivant les figures 1, 2, 4, 5, 13 et 15, l'appareil de levage se compose d'un piétement (1), d'un mât télescopique (2) et d'un pupitre support de plaque amovible (3). Le piétement (1) est constitué d'une chape (4) enveloppant sur trois faces la partie basse du mât télescopique (2) et réunissant deux platines (7) (37) tenant lieu de chapes d'articulation, elles-mêmes reliées par un axe (42) autour duquel tourne un fourreau (41) reliant les deux barres constitutives de chacun des deux pieds (5) orientables horizontalement, alors que les deux barres constitutives du pied (5a) fixe sont solidaires de la chape (4). Les trois pieds sont équipés d'une roue pivotante à frein (38).According to Figures 1, 2, 4, 5, 13 and 15, the lifting device is consists of a base (1), a telescopic mast (2) and a desk removable plate support (3). The base (1) consists of a yoke (4) enveloping the lower part of the telescopic mast on three faces (2) and bringing together two plates (7) (37) taking the place of articulation yokes, themselves connected by an axis (42) around which rotates a sleeve (41) connecting the two constituent bars of each of the two feet (5) adjustable horizontally, while the two constituent bars fixed foot (5a) are integral with the yoke (4). The three feet are fitted with a swivel wheel with brake (38).

    Toujours suivant les figures 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 13 et 15, chacun des deux pieds (5) orientables est pourvu d'un verrou à ressort (6) qui vient s'engager dans les orifices (7a) (7b) (7c) de la platine (7) de façon à immobiliser les deux pieds (5) orientables dans chacune des trois positions définies suivant la position des orifices de la platine (7). C'est ainsi que lorsque le verrou à ressort (6) est engagé dans l'orifice (7a), l'appareil de levage est en position repliée pour son transport ou son stockage comme en figure 4. Lorsqu'il est engagé dans l'orifice (7b), les pieds (5) orientables sont écartés au maximum conférant ainsi une bonne stabilité pour l'appareil de levage en utilisation et lorsqu'il est engagé dans l'orifice (7c), les deux pieds (5) orientables sont moins écartés de façon à permettre le passage de l'appareil dans les portes.Still according to Figures 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 13 and 15, each of the two adjustable feet (5) is provided with a spring lock (6) which comes engage in the holes (7a) (7b) (7c) of the plate (7) so as to immobilize the two adjustable feet (5) in each of the three positions defined according to the position of the orifices of the plate (7). This is how that when the spring latch (6) is engaged in the hole (7a), the device lift is in the folded position for transport or storage as in Figure 4. When engaged in the hole (7b), the feet (5) orientable are spread as far apart as possible, thus providing good stability for the lifting device in use and when it is engaged in the opening (7c), the two adjustable feet (5) are less apart so as to allow the device to pass through the doors.

    Suivant les figures 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 et 13, le mât télescopique (2) est articulé (en 36) sur la platine (7) du piétement (1) et peut être verrouillé sur ce même piétement suivant deux positions : l'une dite de transport comme montré principalement par la figure 4 ; l'autre dite d'utilisation comme montré par les figures 1, 2, 7 et 13. La position dite de transport est obtenue à l'aide du verrou à ressort (8) qui s'engage automatiquement dans l'orifice (10) de la plaque (9) solidaire du pied (5a) fixe et d'un berceau support (39), également solidaire du pied (5a) fixe sur lequel le mât télescopique (2) replié vient prendre appui. Lorsque l'appareil est en utilisation, le mât télescopique (2) est maintenu dans sa position verticale au moyen du même verrou à ressort (8) alors engagé automatiquement dans l'orifice (12) du plat (11) solidaire de la platine (37) du piétement (1). Une pente est donnée avantageusement au plat (11) et à la plaque (9) de façon à assurer une entrée d'engagement au verrou à ressort (8) permettant un verrouillage automatique lors du passage de la position repliée à la position d'utilisation et vice-versa.According to Figures 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 13, the telescopic mast (2) is articulated (at 36) on the plate (7) of the base (1) and can be locked on this same base in two positions: one called transport as shown mainly in Figure 4; the other said of use as shown in Figures 1, 2, 7 and 13. The so-called position transport is obtained using the spring lock (8) which engages automatically in the hole (10) of the plate (9) integral with the foot (5a) fixed and a support cradle (39), also integral with the foot (5a) fixed on which the folded telescopic mast (2) comes to bear. When the appliance is in use, the telescopic mast (2) is kept in its vertical position by means of the same spring lock (8) while engaged automatically in the orifice (12) of the plate (11) integral with the plate (37) of the base (1). A slope is advantageously given to the dish (11) and to the plate (9) so as to provide engagement entry to the spring latch (8) allowing automatic locking during passage from the stowed position to the use position and vice versa.

    Suivant les figures 1, 8 et 9, la base non télescopique (13) du mât (2) comporte le support (14) du treuil (15). Sur ce support est monté un verrou à ressort (16) guidé par un canon (17) solidaire du support (14). Comme montré principalement sur la figure 9, l'extrémité (19) du verrou à ressort (16) s'engage dans l'orifice (18) du support (14) et dans l'orifice (13a) de l'élément (13) du mât télescopique (2) puis dans les orifices (20) (21) (22) pratiqués respectivement dans les parties télescopiques (23) (24) (25) ; l'ensemble de ces orifices étant placés dans le même alignement lorsque les parties télescopiques du mât sont en position basse. Ce verrouillage permet d'obtenir un blocage total des différentes parties télescopiques du mât avec sa base non télescopique (13) de façon à solidariser l'ensemble et faciliter ainsi le transport ou les différentes manipulations de l'appareil de levage.According to Figures 1, 8 and 9, the non-telescopic base (13) of the mast (2) comprises the support (14) of the winch (15). On this support is mounted a spring latch (16) guided by a barrel (17) secured to the support (14). As shown mainly in Figure 9, the end (19) of the lock spring (16) engages in the hole (18) of the support (14) and in the hole (13a) of the element (13) of the telescopic mast (2) then in the orifices (20) (21) (22) practiced respectively in the telescopic parts (23) (24) (25); all of these orifices being placed in the same alignment when the telescopic parts of the mast are in position low. This locking allows to obtain a total blocking of the different telescopic parts of the mast with its non-telescopic base (13) so as to join together and thus facilitate transport or the different handling of the lifting device.

    Suivant les figures 1, 2, 4, 13 et 14, la platine (7) est équipée sur sa face inférieure d'un rouleau (26) qui a pour double fonction de protéger contre les chocs de la platine (7) les sols plus ou moins fragiles et de faciliter le roulement et par conséquent le déplacement de l'appareil de levage replié qui peut, par ailleurs, être aisément tiré par l'utilisateur en utilisant la tête (27) du mât télescopique (2).According to Figures 1, 2, 4, 13 and 14, the plate (7) is equipped on its underside of a roller (26) which has the dual function of protecting against the impact of the plate (7) more or less fragile soils and facilitate the rolling and therefore the movement of the device folded lift which can also be easily pulled by the user using the head (27) of the telescopic mast (2).

    Suivant la figure 3, une pièce (40) en forme de U renversé du pupitre support de plaque amovible (3) vient coiffer la tête (27) qui termine le haut du mât télescopique (2).According to FIG. 3, a part (40) in the shape of an inverted U of the desk removable plate support (3) covers the head (27) which ends the top of the telescopic mast (2).

    Suivant les figures 1, 10, 11 et 12, le pupitre support de plaque amovible (3) ainsi positionné, doit pouvoir être utilisé soit horizontalement, soit incliné à des degrés divers, de façon à s'adapter aux différentes pentes des plafonds à équiper de plaques. Ce réglage de la position du pupitre est obtenu au moyen d'une poignée mobile (28) qui vient en butée sur la languette (43) du pupitre support de plaque amovible (3) et guidée dans son déplacement entre deux ouvertures (29) (30) de forme circulaire, pratiquées respectivement dans les deux flasques (31) (32) solidaires de la tête (27) du mât télescopique (2). Le maintien en position désirée est obtenu par serrage de ladite poignée mobile (28) au moyen d'un blocage à serrage rapide par excentrique constitué d'un axe-vis (33) comportant, à son extrémité filetée, un écrou (34) et à son autre extrémité, une manette à excentrique (35). L'écrou (34) permet d'obtenir, en le vissant ou en le dévissant, un serrage plus ou moins fort de la poignée mobile (28) entre les flasques (31) (32) sous l'effet de la manette à excentrique (35).According to Figures 1, 10, 11 and 12, the plate support console removable (3) thus positioned, must be able to be used either horizontally, is tilted to different degrees, so as to adapt to different slopes of ceilings to be fitted with plates. This position adjustment of the desk is obtained by means of a movable handle (28) which comes in stop on the tongue (43) of the removable plate support console (3) and guided in its movement between two shaped openings (29) (30) circular, made respectively in the two flanges (31) (32) integral with the head (27) of the telescopic mast (2). Maintaining a position desired is obtained by tightening said movable handle (28) to means of a quick-release eccentric locking device consisting of a screw axis (33) comprising, at its threaded end, a nut (34) and at its at the other end, an eccentric lever (35).
