METHOD OF AND DEVICE FOR HANDLING LARGE-SIZE BOLTED JOINTS OF TOWER CRANE SLEWING CIRCLE IN CONFINED AREAS (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B66C23/84 B25B13/48 

FIELD: mechanical engineering; tower cranes.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to means of tightening bolts or nuts of larger-size bolted joints. Method includes manual turning in and off of bolt of bolted joint by rotating bolt head by lever wrench until definite axial force appears in threaded joint with subsequent tightening of bolt by mechanical tightening member. Prior to tightening bolt or prior to its backing off, wrench is connected with first bolt of bolted joint of slewing circle, and then lever of member is connected with second bolt of bolted joint, then lever of member and lever of wrench are connected in plane of arrangement of bolt heads. Wrench and member lever are locked to prevent displacement in vertical direction, and then distance between lever of wrench and second bolt of bolted joint is decreased or increased. Invention provides three design versions of device for implementing the method.

EFFECT: provision of compact device for use in confined spaces.
