BUNK CLAMPING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering. SUBSTANCE: bunk clamping device includes base 4 mounted on frame 2 of total carrier by means of vertical axle 3 and bedplate 1; mounted on uprights of base 4 by means of hinges are levers connected with drive for their opening; each lever consists of base 6 and crown 7 articulated together. Held on lever crowns are ends of ropes reeved through running and standing blocks mounted on beam and through blocks of base whose free ends are secured on uprights of base of device. Beam is mounted on bases of levers by means of rods articulated with it; each rod is articulated with base of lever above axle of securing it to upright. Supporting beam is mounted on base of device by means of two pairs of articulated levers. Free ends of lower levers of each pairs are articulated with base of device and free ends of upper levers are connected with supporting beam. Drive of supporting beam, hydraulic cylinder for example, is connected with hinges of upper and lower levers of each pair. EFFECT: enhanced reliability. 2 cl, 6 dwg
