Patented Mar. 13, 1951 UNITED DRUM HANDLING DEVICE FOR LIFT TRUCKS Bertram RCQupland and Harold J. Black, Los Angele s, Qalif.
Application April 5, 1948, Serial No. 18,916 3 Claims. (01. 214-66) i This invention relates to materials handling equipment and is particularly directed to improvements in devices for lifting, maneuvering, carrying and depositingsuchitems as, drums, barrels, hogsheads, reels, cylindrical containers, bulk goods in cylindrical form, and the like. This invention fin'ds'particular usefulness in connection with materials handling lift trucks now in common use.
Cylindrical containers such as, for example, oil drums, are commonly, loaded in boxcars or trucks for shipment or stacked in rows in warehouses. So far as, we are aware there has not been developed any satisfactory method or apparatus for mechanically handling such drums. The movement of drums from one place to another for loading, shipping, warehousing, or for any other purpose commonly entails a great deal of manual effort. When loaded drums are to be stacked two-high in nesting rows in a boxcar, for example, a great deal of manual manipulation is required to spot the drums in the right place in order to avoid shifting during transportation. Manually operable two-wheel trucks now in common usefor handling drums and the like provide a toe or ledge on which the lower end of the drum may rest while the drum is tilted back on the body of the device. When such a device is used it is first necessary to tilt the particular drum away from the toe or ledge in order that it may beinserted under the lower portion of the drum. Such tilting action is not possible if the drum is positioned against a wall or against an adjacent drum in another row. Accordingly, the drum must be firstmanually withdrawn from nested position before it may be tilted for positioning of the toe'or ledge:
In accordance with'our invention we-provide improved apparatus adap ed-to be carried-on a I standard lift truck and embodying certainnovel features of design enabling the device to perform the various operations mechanicallywithout requiring any" manual assistance, the device being under the controlof the operator of the lift truck. 7 r
' It is the principal object-of our-invention to provide apparatus for mechanically handling 'on the frame for tilting the drum toward. the
frame in order to provide side clearance at the lower end of the drum into which? lifting shoes Another. object is to provide a device of this typewhich is hydraulically operated from power on the lift truck.
Another object isv to provide a device of this type. which is operable to stack drumsror the like two-high and to deposit or remove drums fromoeither levelv ,without moving adjacent drums positioned in the same or adjacent rows.
Another object is to provide a device of this type "which is particularlyradapted for handling drums mounted on shipping pallets, whereby the device may be capable of reaching a drum,
mounted in ,any one of four positions on the pallet.
Another object is to provide ;a device of this advantages will appear .ventional form of lift truck.
Figure 2 is a side elevation partly in section of oneof the lifting devices and illustrating its cooperative relationship with a drum or barrel mounted on a pallet.
Figure 3 is a plan view of the device shown in Figure 2, certain parts being in sectionf' Figure 4 is a side elevation with the drum shown in tilted position. H
Figure 5 is a front e evation showing the position of the parts as shown inl 'igure 2. s
Figure 6 is afragmentary view illustrating a modified form of our invention. 1 v I Referring to thedrawings, the frame generally designated Ill is adapted to be carried by any conventional means on the forward portion I I of a conventional lift truck {2. Power means including the hydraulic cylinder l3 serves to raise and lower the frame ll! relative to the truck l2 under the control of the truck operator. As
shown in Figure lapair of frames l0 may be carried on the same lift truck l2 and mounted in and lowered as a unit.
We prefer to describe our invention in connection with the handling of oil drums [4, but
-it will be readily'understood that barrels, hogsheads, reels, and other cylindrical or barrelshaped bulk goods may be vlikewiserhandled by the apparatus embodying our invention.
Each of the framesfmxmayinclude a pan of laterally spaced posts I5 connected at their upper ends by a horizontal crossbar l6 and at their lower ends by a horizontal footing ll. Forwardly projecting side members l8 extend from the posts 15, and a transverse stiffener l9 serves to connect the side members It. The frame may also include forwardly extending struts carried on the posts l5 at a position intermediate their ends. The members 15, I6, IT, l8, l9, and 28 comprising the frame [0 may be secured together in any convenient fashion, such as by welding.
An upright tilting member generally designated 2| is mounted for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis 22 on the forward end of the frame side members Ill. The member 2| may include a sleeve 23 to which are welded the spaced parallel uprights 24. The uprights 24 may be tubular in form and adapted to receive in telescopic relation the extensions 25 projecting therefrom. The purpose of the telescopic relationship between the parts 24 and 25 is to permit adjustment in length of the upright tilting member 2!. A stop pad 25 may be provided at the upper end of each of the members 25. These stop pads 26 may be adjustably mounted on the upper ends of the tubular rods 25 if desired in order to conform substantially to the outer surface of the particular size drum 14 to be handled.
Means are provided for securing the rods 25 with respect to the tubular members 24 at any selected position in order to position the pads 26 at the proper elevation with respect to the drum l4. Means are provided for tilting the member 2|. The tilting of the member 2| may be accomplished manually through a system of levers or block and tackle by the operator on the lift truck, but we prefer to provide a hydraulic power cylinder assembly 2! for accomplishing this purpose. The assembly 27 may be pivotally secured to the frame In by means of the pivot pin 28, and the piston rod 29 extending from the assembly may be pivotally connected to the bell crank 38 by means of the connecting pin 3|. The short arm of the bell crank 39 is pivotally mounted on the crossbar 32 extending between the tubular members 24 near the upper ends thereof.
In certain embodiments of our invention it may be preferable or desirable to connect the power cylinder assembly directly to the tilting member 2! rather than to the bell crank 30, as will appear more fully hereinafter. The long arm of the bell crank is pivotally connected to a link 33 which is in turn pivotally connected to the lower end of the crank arm 34. The crank arm 34 may be joined as by welding to the sleeve 35 pivotally carried on the parallel supporting bars 36. The supporting bars 36 are pivotally connected to the tubular rods 25 by means of the pivot pins 3?. Projecting forwardly from the sleeve 35 is a pair of reach bars 38 adapted to extend over a portion of the upper end of the drum l4. The long arm of the bell crank 30 may be varied in length to conform to the relative position of the tubular rods 25 and the members 24, and this variation in length may be accomplished by forming the said long arm of a plurality of elements relatively adjustable for length. The reach bars 38 may be made adjustable in length by means of the telescopic connection between the tubular rods 39 and the receiving bars 38. Suitable means such as the pins 40 may be provided for maintaining the rods 33 and tubular bars 38 in adjusted position. .7
The forward ends of the elements 39 are welded to a transverse sleeve 4|. Tubular supporting elements 42 are received in telescopic relation in opposite ends of the sleeve 41, and these elements 42 are pivotally connected to drum contacting fingers 43 by means of the pivot bolts 44. The elements 42 may be adjusted relative to the sleeve 4! by sliding in or out, and pins 45 are provided for securing the elements 42 in adjusted position. It will be understood that the purpose of the length adjustment of the reach bars 38 and the width adjustment of the supporting elements 42 is to enable the device to conform to drums of various sizes.
Each of the fingers 43 is provided with a downwardly extending flange 46 which is adapted to engage the outer surface of the drum [4. The position of the fingers 43 and flanges 46 with regard to the circumference of the drum I4 is important, since the fingers and flanges must not offer interference to drums which may be positioned adjacent the particular drum to be lifted. Thus, as shown in Figure 3, the fingers 43 and their flanges 46 engage those portions of the periphery of the drum M which lie between the points of tangency with similar drums positioned in nested relation with respect to the drum 14 to be lifted. It will be further understood that if the rows of drums are not nested but if each drum is directly behind the drum in the adjacent row, the fingers 43 still do not offer any interference with regard to neighboring drums, but on the contrary operate in clearance space. Hence the fingers 43 offer no interference with neighboring drums, whether the drum rows are nested or not.
Furthermore, the location of the finger 43 is such as to avoid interference with walls, such as the corner walls of a boxcar, when the drum is being deposited or lifted from such a corner. As shown in Figure '3, the corner walls indicated by the dot and dash lines 15 and 15 offer no interference to the fingers 43. It will be noted that each finger 43 is positioned in a clearance zone designated 11. One side of this zone is formed by the wall 15, a
second side by the are 18 of the drum l4, and a third side by the are 19 of the adjacent drum Mb.
A sliding shoe 4'! is positioned on each side of the frame It adjacent the side members l8. These shoes 4! may be formed of angle sections and slidably mounted on the side members l8 in any convenient manner. The upwardly extending leg 48 on each of the sliding shoes 41 may be split away from the lower horizontal portion 49 at its forward end and bent to the angular position shown at 50. The forward projecting end 5| on each of the sliding shoes 41 is therefore horizontal and has no vertical flange. The extreme forward end of the projections 5| may be slanted at an angle as shown at 52 and may be beveled as shown at 53. When the drum I4 is tilted rearwardly as shown in Figure 4, clearance space is developed beneath the lower circular end 54 of the barrel on opposite sides of the tilting point 55. The sliding shoes 41 accordingly may be moved into this clearance space to a position under a portion of the lower end 54. The shoes are shown in this position in Figure 1.
Means are provided for sliding the shoes forwardly in response to rearward tilting movement of the drum l4, and as shown in the drawings this means includes a pair of levers 5'6 each connected to one of the sliding shoes 41 by means of a pivot pin 51. Each lever 56 is pivotally s supported by a fulcrum pin 58 carried at the inner end of the frame struts As shown clearly in Figure 2, a boss 55is provided on the upper end of the'lever 56, and thisboss is in position to be contacted by one of the tubular pieces 24 on the tilting member 2 I when the latter is tilted rearwardly toward the frame posts 15. Accordingly,' when the tilting member 21 approaches the limit of its travel'toward the posts [5, the tubular pieces 24 engage the bosses 59 on the levers 56. Pivotal movement of the levers 56 about the pins 58 occurs in a counter-clockwise direction, as viewed in Figures 21am 4, and the sliding shoes 4'! are accordingly thrust under the lower end of the tilted drum M. It will be understood that the pivotal connections 51 and 58 are provided with sufiicient clearance'to enable the shoes 4'! to slide freely on the side members I8. v v v Retraction of the sliding shoes 41 may be accomplished by any suitable form of lost motion connection between the member 2| and the upper portions of the levers 56, but we prefer to provide cables Bil which function when in tension to retract the sliding hoes 4'! and which are ineffective to advance the shoes toward the lower end of the drum l4. v i y In operation the various adjustments provided for adapting the tilting member, reach bars, etc. to accommodate the particular size drum or other container to be handled are first made,,and one or more of the lifting devices are mounted on the lift truck l2. The hydraulic connections )6! extending from a hydraulic power cylinder 2'lare connected to the hydraulic system of the truck so that the truck operator may raise and lower the lifting assemblies as well a control the actuation of the tilting mechanism. The operator then rolls the truck to a position adjacent a drum I4 to be handled. The drum may be of eneral cylindrical shape or may be barrel.- shaped, as indicated by the dot and dash line Ma as shown in Figure 2. 4 V
The drum l4 may be resting on the floor 62, onthe pallet 63, or on top of another drum. The operator may prefer to handle one drum at a time or two drums simultaneously. In vthe latter event, the truck I2 is positioned adjacent the drums so that each is directly in advance of the frames l0 and directly below the reach arms 38 of each lifting assembly. The truck l2'is rolled forwardly until the pads 25 strike the upper cylindrical surface of the drum is. Thereach bars 38 are then lowered from the position shown in Figure 2 to a substantially horizontal position Vance the piston 29 and hence return the tilting of thelower en d54 adjacentthe member 2 I. As
under the clearance made available under the lower end 54 of the: drum I4 on opposite sides of the tilting point 55. Figure 4 shows the parts of the mechanismin this position. The drum I4 may be lifted by elevating the frame l0 relative to the truck l2. The same sequence of operationsmay'be carried out 'for tilting and lifting the other drum I4 carried on the adjacent lifting frame Ill; The operatormay then back the truck awayfrorn the location where the drums were lifted-and may carry them to any desired location. The two drums l4 may be deposited on a pallet or On the floor or ontop of a row of similar drums. It will be noted in Figure 3 that the drum i4 projects laterally beyond the extreme width of the carrying device. This enables the carrying devices to lift adjoining drums from a row without disturbing other drums in the same row:
When a drum I4 is to be deposited, the operator manipulates a hydraulic valve (not shown) on the truck to cause the power cylinder 21 to admember 2 I toward an upright position. The drum I4 is spotted over the desired location, and upon return of the tilting member'2l toward upright position the drum I4 is returned to upright positicn to rest on the lower end 54. As the tilting member 2! turns in a clockwise direction as viewed in Figure 4, the cables 6!! become taut and serve to pivot the levers 56 in a counter-clockwise direction to retract the sliding shoes 41. The piston rod 29 continues to move outwardly from the cylinder 21 after the drum l4 reaches an upright position in order to raise the reach bars 38 and fingers 43 upwardly to the position illustrated in Figure 2. The truck 12, frames Ill and assoin which the flanges 56 on the fingers 33 engage I the outer cylindrical surface of the drum I4. This lowering of the reach bars 38 is accomplished by retracting the piston rod 29 into the power cylinder 21. The initial movement of the rod 29 serves to pivofthe bell crank 31! about its supporting pin32 and thereby move the long arm of the crank in a direction to tension the link 33. The crank arm 34 accordingly is rotated in a clockwise direction as viewed .in Figure 4 to move the reach bars downwardly toward horizontal position. Tilting movement of the parallel'supporting bars 3% is limited by means of the stops 54 and carried on the tilting member 2!.
The downwardly projecting flanges lii on the fingers 43 engage the circumference of the-drum l4, and continued retraction of the piston rod 29' then effects tilting movement of the member 2! and causes the drum I l to tilt about its pivot ciated mechanism may then be withdrawn.
In a modifiedform of our apparatus the reach bars 38 may be dispensed with and instead a chine latch employed'for holding the drum M in contact with-the circumferentially spaced pads 26. This chine latch is shown in Figure 6 of the drawings and is identified as 66. The latch may be pivotally mounted on plates 51 secured on the upper ends of the tubular rods 25. A compression spring 68 may be provided for maintaining the nose 69 of the latch against the chine ill of the drum '14; A cable H may be used to compress the spring and to release the latch 66 from the chine 1-!) when desired. When the chine latch 65 is used instead of the reach bars 38 the bell crank 30 is not used, and instead the clevis on the end of'the piston rod 29 is pivotally connected directly to the tilting member 2|. 1
Drum handling devices constructed in accord ance with our invention have been found to possess outstanding advantages in connection with eliminating all manual handling of drums during loading, stacking and unloading operations. Marked savings in loading and unloading time are -eiTected. With two of the devices mounted on a single lift truck, two drums may be simultaneously lifted from a floor, shipping dock, loaded pallet or from tiered drum stacks. Any one or two drums may be selected out of the middle of a row. The truck operator can accurately place and deposit the drum load into freight cars or trucks against a wall or ina corner. Drums may about a horizontal axis;
