  • Cargo box 12 is of a type provided with perimetral elements, in particular placed inferiorly to the cargo box 12 at the angular extremities of the related base, for example feet 13, 14 in a substantially parallelepiped structure, among which a pair of front feet 14 and rear feet 13 are present; front feet are meant the closest pair and rear feet0 are meant the more distant pair of feet with reference to the cab of the forklift 16 in an operative condition of lifting and / or tipping of the cargo box 12, as in figures 1, 3 and 4.
  • tipping device 15 and the elements, devices and systems different from the cargo box block arrangement being present on the forklift truck 16 are not further detailed and described as they are already known as prior art.
  • the cargo box block arrangement comprises forklift means, being constituted for example of a support plate for fork bearer 1, associable with the tipping device 15 of the forklift truck 16 through known means and in such a way that it can be rotated with respect to an axis substantially orthogonal to the same plate 1, on which are fixed fork bearer means as sliding guide, for example a pair of fork bearer crosspieces 2, 3 being shaped in such a way to constitute sliding guides for a pair of fork arms 7, 9 being shaped to the purpose.

  • each arm fork 7, 9 is in shape of a rotated L , with a lower part aimed to support and lift the cargo box 12, and an elevated part which has, externally, a pair of beak guides aimed to be inserted, with clearance, in transverse sliding on protrusions being externally shaped to the crosspieces 2, 3.
  • the configuration of the forklift means as described and according to the invention allows the fork arms 7, 9 sliding on the fork bearer crosspiece 2, 3, then the fork arms 7, 9 widening which allows the cargo box block arrangement to be adapted to different width sizes, so contributing to maintain the same cargo box stable and safe when it is loaded on the fork arms of the forklift truck to be moved or tipped.
  • the spreading out means 4-6, 8, 10, 11, 17, 18 are associated with the fork arms 7, 9 for the grip of the fork arms 7, 9 to the perimetral elements of the cargo box 12, in particular at the inside of the foot 13, 14 of the cargo box 12, in case of pallet box.
  • the above mentioned spreading out means comprise, more in detail
  • - pivot means associated to the support plate 1 and usefully placed close to the lateral extremities of the same plate 1, with a rotation axis being substantially orthogonal to the gripping plane of the fork arms 7, 9, i.e. the plane as identified by the lower parts of the fork arms 7, 9, for example eyelets 4, 5 being integral with the plate 1 and positioned in a staggered way between the fork bearer crosspiece 2, 3, with the axes of the holes being substantially orthogonal to said gripping plane;
  • linear displacement actuating means preferably of a hydraulically operated type, being associated at one extremity to the pivot means and at the other extremity to the pair of transmission arms 6, 10, for example a pair of hydraulic pistons 8, 11 hinged at an extremity to the respective eyelets 4, 5 and at the other extremity to the corresponding transmission arm 6, 10;
  • - rotation locking means associated to the transmission arms 6, 10 and the fork arms 7, 9 so as to prevent the relative rotation and preferably also the relative transverse translation of each fork arm 7, 9 with respect to the corresponding transmission arm 6, 10; for example they are locking rings 17, 18 shaped as to embrace, together with an end portion of the transmission arm 6, 10, a cross section of the respective fork arm 7, 9, the rings 17, 18 being fixed each one to its corresponding transmission arm 6, 10 by fastening means, for example threaded tie rods and lock nuts, so as to allow the transmission of the transverse force and angular torque from the transmission arms 6, 10 to the fork arms 7, 9.
  • fastening means for example threaded tie rods and lock nuts
  • Such kinematic condition allows mat the force explicated by the hydraulic pistons 8, 11 is transmitted, as well as transverse thrust, as further angular torque to open the fork arms 7, 9 so as to lock, by friction, before the internal faces of the frontal feet 14 and men the inner faces of the rear feet 13 of the perimetral elements of the cargo box 12, as it will be clarified with the description of related operation.
  • the spreading out means are of an exclusively mechanically operated type.
  • the spreading out means are of a hydraulically driven type, in particular by employing for its operation a branch of the hydraulic circuit outgoing from a control system of devices and systems as genuinely supplied to the forklift truck.
  • Such branch not shown for simplicity so as the mentioned system, is associated with the spreading out means, in particular with the linear displacement actuating means, i.e.
  • the hydraulic pistons 8, 11 apply a thrust force with a transverse component such as to widen laterally the fork arms 7, 9 until the fork arms come into contact with one or more internal parts of the perimetral elements of the cargo box 12, in the example primarily on the inner face of the rear feet 14 of the cargo box 12 close to it, producing a first grip strength; at the same time, due to the kinematic constraint produced by the inner surface 14 of the same rear feet, this induces a slight rotation to open the protruding extremities of the fork arms, so as to spread them out.
  • the thrust action of the pistons 8, 11 leads to an increase of the longitudinal component directed towards the lower part of the fork arms 7, 9, in addition to the transverse component guaranteeing the grip of the rear feet 14.
  • This component generates an angular torque aimed to open the fork arms 7, 9 which are able to rotate, thanks to their respective assembling with clearance on the fork bearer 2, 3; so, it is generated the opening of the lower extremities of the fork arms 7, 9 which spread out to form a large V.
  • the cargo box 12 grip is advantageously carried out by loads being distributed on the entire perimeter of its base, i.e. in a poised, stable and balanced way.
  • the cargo box 12 may be further blocked by f top-down cargo box block means moving top- down and operating in pushing on one of its front wall, possibly being present in association with the tipping device 15 of the forklift truck 16 and not detailed for simplicity as already known, for example, in the same way as illustrated and described in the Italian document BA2011U00013.
  • the reversal and/or tipping of the cargo box 12 is carried out in total safety, i.e. without big bending stresses of its front wall bonded to the top-down grip.
  • the control system commands the release of the cargo box 12 by generating a hydraulic pressure such in a way that the linear displacement actuating means, i.e. the hydraulic pistons 8, 11 are shortened, therefore retracting the respective transmission arms 6, 10 and fork arms 7, 9 so disengaging the front feet 13 and then the rear ones 14, and returning to the configuration of sole support of figure 3.
  • the fork arms spread out in a wide V shape, they move and rotate to open and intercept the perimetral elements along the whole extension of the base perimeter of the cargo box; therefore, as in the example taken into account, they exert pressure against all the feet of the cargo box with a respective external surface thereof till blocking them, so allowing the subsequent safely ad affordable movement in tipping.
  • the cargo box block arrangement according to the invention is provided with few simple elements which ensure the functionality, convenience and low-cost thereof.
  • the transmission arms 6, 10 are reciprocally similar and essentially interchangeable, thus allowing the free use of fork arms 7, 9 of different dimensions, with no need to change the whole support plate 1, so just employing transmission arms 6, 10 of the right length and with a respective portion of extremity shaped in order to embrace the cross-section of the respective fork arm 7, 9 with their rings 17, 18; i.e. the cargo box block arrangement is implemented just by adapting and conforming the fork arms as genuinely provided with the forklift truck, with no need to replace them, therefore in a simple, practical and inexpensive way.
  • the spreading out means may be constituted of a kinematic arrangement associated with the support plate and with linear displacement actuating means in such a way that, connected by pulleys to the fork arms, it is able to spread them out forming a wide V under the action of an extension and/or a shortening of the actuating means, so as to generate an angular torque necessary for the stable locking of the perimetral elements of the cargo box by friction, similarly to what has been already described.
