Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for sliding ladder operation, plus device particularly intended to be mounted on a vehicle able to carry such large scales dimension: utility trucks or vans, in particular of firefighters.
- the present invention therefore consists of a device providing a global solution to this problem, in that it minimizes and therefore very clearly facilitate human intervention to maneuvering large sliding ladders, and in that it also allows an establishment much faster from these scales which is a of paramount importance in the context of the activities of firefighters.
- the cradle can be swiveled around a vertical axis on 180 ° to orient the scale, around a first axis horizontal transverse to tilt the scale, and around a second horizontal axis orthogonal to the first to adjust the transverse verticality of the scale.
- the rigid low link of adjustable length advantageously comprises a stirrup fixed on the side and other from the base plane of the scale, for example at level of a bar, as well as a median arm telescopic with progressive locking means or brake to adjust its length.
- said pivot is slidably mounted on a longitudinal rail fixed to the vehicle roof and protruding at the rear, so as to be movable in together with the ladder and its cradle between a rear service position and a front position of transport.
- Fig. 1 illustrates a device in accordance with the invention mounted on a fire truck 1. It this is a device intended not only for the maneuvering of a sliding ladder, but which serves also to place and secure it in position of transport on the vehicle roof 1.
- the device includes a beam or rail metallic 2 mounted longitudinally on the roof of the vehicle 1, for example centrally. It exceeds the rear within the limits imposed by the regulations of road traffic. In practice, the part protruding is about one meter long. Yes necessary, it is provided with reinforcing arms 24, Fig. 1.
- Rail 2 on which a carriage 3 is mounted is advantageously an H profile whose core 20 is vertical, and which therefore has two lower wings and higher, respectively 21 and 22, as shown better Fig. 3.
- the carriage 3 is mounted on the rail 2 so as to have only one degree of freedom sliding along of it, between the rear end E and a limit before limit switch L located on the roof of the vehicle 1, Fig. 1.
- the body of the carriage 3 has a profile of U inverted to cover the rail: it has a horizontal upper shelf 30 and two walls vertical lateral 31. It is held in place and retained on rail 2 by two horizontal wings 32 internally directed from the side walls 31, which enclose therewith and the plate 30 the upper wing 22 of the rail 2.
- the carriage 3 rolls on the lower wing 21 of the rail 2 by means of two front and rear pairs of rollers 33.
- a lock allows it to be locked in its most remote position.
- the lock shown in the drawings is a hook tilting 34 articulated around a transverse axis on the plate 30, which hangs by gravity around from the rear end of the rail 2.
- the carriage 3 carries fixed on its plate 30 a tubular part or sleeve 35 of internal section circular, vertically oriented and open upwards. It is located substantially in the center of the plate 30.
- the sliding ladder 5 which conventionally comprises three plans including a base plan 50, a plan intermediate 51 and an upper plane 52, is mounted in a cradle 4 appearing in more detail in Figs. 4 and 5 (for reasons of clarity of the drawing, the cradle 4 has been shown without the scale in FIG. 4).
- the cradle 4 essentially has two sides 40 joined by lower crosspieces 41, to receive the scale 5 in such a way that the plans 51 and 52 remain maneuverable from the basic plane 50.
- the base plane 50 is fixed suspended across the upper part of cradle 4, the other two planes 51, 52 being suspended under him inside the cradle.
- the base plane 50 is fixed in cradle 4 at two levels, by through transverse rods 43 passed through through these steps and received and keyed in receiving holes 42 made in the upper part from each of the flanks 40.
- the cradle 4 further comprises a transverse axis lower 44, Fig. 5, arranged substantially in sound middle, by which it is articulated on a part 6.
- This has a horizontal intermediate plate 60 on which is fixed by means of a mount 61 a vertical bearing 62 and under which is fixed a vertical cylindrical tail 63 of section circular.
- Axis 44 is engaged and retained at the level of its central part in the bearing 62.
- the bearing 62 is a spherical or equivalent bearing, by example a swing bearing.
- An means for limiting the oscillation of axis 44 this means being for example, as shown, a jumper 64 secured to the plate 60 and surrounding the axis 44 near the bearing 62.
- the cylindrical tail 63 of the part 6 is intended to be received in the socket 35 of the carriage 3 previously described, in which it can spin freely. Possibly, a means of lock not shown is provided to maintain the tail 63 in place in the socket 35.
- the cradle 4 is then removably carried on the carriage 3 by a Cardan joint: it can pivot longitudinally around its transverse axis 44, pivot transversely due to the possibility of oscillation of the transverse axis 44 in the bearing 62, and turn around the axis of the socket 35.
- the device of the invention further comprises, secured to the vehicle 1, an attachment means 7 which is located at a distance under the rear protruding part of the rail 2, carried on an arm parallel to it and in the same vertical plane.
- the attachment means 7 can be carried on the rear drawbar 8 of vehicle 1. It thus finds at 50 cm above the ground, approximately, a vertical deviation of the order of 2 m separating it from rail 2 which is about 2.5 m away.
- the attachment means 7, Figs. 1 and 7, includes a slide 70 mounted on a slide 80, which is located on the top of the drawbar 8, on all of its length.
- the slide 70 is provided with a brake, by example a screw 71, to allow it to be locked in one any point on slide 80, and, as that attachment element, of a cylindrical tail 72 directed upwards.
- the attachment means 7 is intended to receive a end of a rigid link 9 articulated by its other end at the bottom of the amount of base 50 of scale 5, which rigid connection 9 has function to ensure the restraint and stability of the scale, both in its transverse plane and in its tilt plane.
- the rigid connection 9 is shown in plan on the Fig. 9. It has as longitudinal median element a telescopic arm 90 adjustable in length by means a screw 91 ensuring the tightening between its two parts 90a, 90b. A metal structure is attached to the outer part 90b of the arm 90, which forms beyond from a first end of the latter a stirrup 92.
- the bracket 92 has a base cross member 93 and two branches 94 parallel to arm 90, between which plans 50 to 52 of scale 5 are received.
- the fixing is ensured by means of a transverse rod 95 passing through a bar of the base plan 50, and received and keyed in holes at the ends of the branches 94, the connection 9 possibly so rotate relative to the scale around the rod 95.
- the second end of arm 90 includes an attachment ring 96. It is a ball joint or equivalent for allow it to be engaged and keyed quickly and without difficulty on the vertical attachment tail 72 of the means 7, and to also allow the connection rigid 9 pivots freely around the attachment tail 72.
- scale 5 in transport position on the roof of vehicle 1 has its two planes 51, 52 immobilized with respect to its basic plan 50 so classical, that is to say by means of the sound string development system.
- scale 5 protrudes slightly beyond rail 2, and the connection rigid 9 hanging under the ladder is immobilized by a quick release 98.
- scale 5 is received in a support, advantageously formed of lateral uprights 100 and rollers 101 mounted crazy at the base of these uprights, on which supports plan 52 of the ladder.
- the amounts 100 which can be mounted integral with rail 2, have holes 102 at the base plane 50, to allow to subject the latter by commitment to through a rung of a transverse rod received in these holes and keyed.
- a means of securing the cradle 4 can also be provided, consisting for example of lateral arms 103 pivotally mounted at their base, and coming to be fixed by their upper end on nipples protruding outwardly on the sides 40.
- the carriage 3 is against its stop forward limit switch on rail 2.
- the first operation is the responsibility of the vehicle driver 1 who is going to have to place the latter adequately by relative to the wall and depending on the height at achieve.
- vehicle 1 will be placed parallel to the wall, at a distance calculated so that the inclination of the ladder is correct.
- Fig. 8 illustrates the next step by which ladder 5 descended to the rear of vehicle 1 after release of the rigid attachment 9 and the means securing in transport position, and retreating and locking in position E on rail 2 of carriage 3 loaded with cradle 4 and ladder 5.
- the cradle 4 and ladder 5 are then pivoted around axis 44 to descend the base of the ladder towards the ground. Note that the longitudinal position of the cradle along the ladder is such that the base of it cannot touch the ground. Then, the scale being standing upright close to the vertical, the link 9 is hooked by means of attachment 7.
- Fig. 12 shows the scale 5 pressed against a wall P. Since it is a view of principle, only the essential functional elements of the device according to the invention have been shown, know the pivot 35, the cradle 4, the attachment means 7 and the rigid connection 9.
- the scale 5 is secured on the pivot 35 via the cradle 4, and below by means of the rigid connection 9 fixed to the attachment means 7.
- the device according to the invention further improves the stability of the ladder by increasing the upper pressing force against the wall P. To do this, scale 5 is arched as the drawing illustrates it, by pulling on its base towards outside according to arrow F, then blocking in length of the arm 90 by means of the screw 91. If necessary, we can provide a ground support for two ladder uprights, using two crutches level adjustment, known per se.
- Fig. 10 illustrates the case where the land adjoining the wall against which the ladder 5 must be supported is not horizontal, but inclined parallel to the wall. Vehicle 1 will then be oriented in the direction of the slope, which will advance the slide 70 on slide 80 to find the balance of the socket 35, condition on which the verticality depends transverse scale.
- the slope is very steep, the useful length of the slide 80 will not be sufficient. For this case, it an advanced position of the carriage 3 on rail 2 relative to position E, in which it can be immobilized, Fig. 11. The vehicle 1 will then have been oriented in the direction of rise, and the slide 70 will be moved back as it fits on slide 80. Note that in the direction normal to the wall, the slope does not of importance.
- the device according to the invention has the advantage of grouping little elements easy to install on a vehicle van type utility vehicle. It should also be noted that the sliding ladder mounted in the device remains perfectly usable independently of it, since it is immediately separable from cradle.
