Description

DESCRIPTION

CALF CARRYING DEVICE

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a device for carrying coffins, which is used to handle them in cemeteries, facilitating circulation through narrow passages and closed changes of direction, and direct access and elevation for burial in niches.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Currently, burial in niches requires the elevation of the coffins due to the vertical construction, by levels, of said niches.

This elevation is currently carried out by mounting pulleys or auxiliary winches on scaffolding, or on supports fixed directly to the constructions that house the niches, with the complementary use of scaffolding or improvised lifting platforms, which requires access by the funeral vehicle to the area of the niches through small spaces or streets, with the added difficulty of the existence of people.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The coffin-carrying device is optimally suited for burial in niches, and according to the invention it comprises:

-a main chassis fitted with wheels for movement,

- means of propulsion of the main chassis,

-a lifting platform, mounted on said main chassis, formally and dimensionally adequate to contain a coffin and at least one operator,

- some leveling elements of the main chassis,

- propulsion and guidance controls for the main chassis and for driving the lifting platform, and

- a power supply for the lifting platform and for the means of propulsion of the main chassis.

In this way, the coffin of the deceased can be deposited on the lifting platform in a lowered position, directly from the hearse at the entrance to the cemetery or in an area of the same of adequate width, and then transported by means of the device, facilitating transit. of people from the funeral procession, and circulating better through the reduced spaces of a cemetery, especially between the streets where the niches are, and finally elevating the coffin and facilitating its insertion in the niche.

DESCRIPTION OF A PRACTICAL EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The device (1) for carrying coffins (2) for burial in niches (3), comprises (see figs. 1 to 3):

- a main chassis (4) provided with wheels (40, 41) for its movement,

- means of propulsion of the main chassis (4),

- a lifting platform (5), mounted on said main chassis (4), formally and dimensionally suitable to contain a coffin (2) and at least one operator (200), - some leveling elements of the main chassis (4),

- propulsion and guidance controls for the main chassis (4) and for driving the lifting platform (5), and

- a power supply (7) (preferably an electric battery) for the lifting platform (5) and for the propulsion means of the main chassis (2).

It is preferred that the lifting platform (5) is guided and actuated in elevation by means selected from:

- some end guides (50) (see figs. 1 and 2) through which end guides or rollers (51) of said lifting platform (5) run and at least one first hydraulic cylinder (52) for direct or indirect lifting ( by cables or chains) of said lifting platform (5) along said guides (50),

-a scissors (55) (see fig. 3) with parallel arms (56) actuated by at least one second hydraulic cylinder (57);

- having in the cylinders (52, 57) parachute valves, not shown, to block their discharge in case of breakage of the corresponding hoses.

A highly preferred feature of the invention consists of arranging elements for handling the coffin on the lifting platform (5) to facilitate introduction into the niche. Such coffin handling elements can be (see also fig. 4):

-knee pads (53), to move the coffin into the niche,

-rotating sockets (54), to orient the coffin towards the niche,

- a lifting pantograph (58) (see fig. 3) (the pantograph in turn can mount the knee pads or rotating base and can include its own lifting element), which performs a fine leveling of the coffin before the niche.

In addition, it is preferred that the pantograph (58) includes a skirt (59) or safety curtain for stopping, which in the event of detecting the operator's feet under it, causes it to stop before descending completely onto the lifting platform (5 ).

In addition, the lifting platform (5) ideally includes detachable or folding handrails (8), which will facilitate approaching the niche in difficult locations (corners, etc.)

Likewise, it is preferred that the lifting platform (5) includes a perimeter skirting board (80), which prevents the accidental fall of tools by the operators on the people below (see in fig. 3).

Very preferably, the lifting platform (5) will also include an extension (10) (see fig. 4) that can be folded down or mounted, which will serve to save plinths in the bases of the niches that make the full approach difficult. Said extension (10) preferably comprises a lower folding frame (11), crossbars (12) mounted on said folding frame (11) and light plates (14) mounted on said crossbars (12), which comprise side nails ( 12a) holding said plates (14). This allows easy and quick mounting and dismounting of this extension (10).

It is preferred that the leveling elements of the chassis comprise bases (44) that can be lowered (see Figs. 1 to 3) for support on the ground (operated by means of third hydraulic cylinders (45), spindles or the like), and that said bases (44) are arranged on some extendable corner arms (46), associated with horizontal detectors, not shown (accelerometers, electronic levels), through the corresponding electrical/electronic system that will inhibit the operation of the lifting platform in the event that there is no horizontality. In this way, the useful base of the device and the stability at the time of lifting are increased, even in case of wind, even in case the surface is inclined.

As for the propulsion means of the main chassis (4), they will preferably comprise electric motors (48) associated with one or more wheels (40, 41) thereof, guaranteeing good torque and silent operation.

It is preferred that the main chassis (4) comprises a first axle (49a) with lateral parallel wheels (40), and one or more steering wheels (41), provided with directional rotation, or a single steering wheel (41) associated with a first propulsion and guidance control (60) with second controls (6) for driving the lifting platform (5) (see fig. 3), or two steering wheels (41) arranged on a steering axis (49b); the main chassis (4) comprising a cabin (4a) with the first propulsion and guidance controls (60) (pedals, steering wheel, joystick...), and also having second controls (6) for driving the lifting platform ( 5).

Having sufficiently described the nature of the invention, as well as the way of carrying it out in practice, it should be noted that the provisions indicated above and represented in the attached drawings are susceptible to detailed modifications as long as they do not alter the fundamental principle.
