DESCRIPTION

Cargo vehicle

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present application refers to a loading vehicle, especially of the type prepared to load pallets from the sides or the bottom. Allows for more efficient storage of lock pieces or bars when not in use.

STATE OF THE ART

Freight vehicles of many types are known. Some formed by a vehicle with a cargo cabin and others by a tractor element that pulls a detachable cargo trailer. The cabin or trailer is made up of a platform with wheels and a whole series of equipment: wheels, brakes, lights... The perimeter of the platform has a structure with a roof, a front wall, where the truck or vehicle is attached. that drags the vehicle, and a series of columns. A canvas or similar material usually closes the perimeter, between columns. However, this canvas does not have mechanical resistance, so bars are usually attached between columns to ensure that the load does not come off in sudden movements or for any other reason. Likewise, blocking bars are defined, transverse to the direction of movement, which prevent the movement of the load forwards or backwards.

The bars are usually defined as an elongated rectangular prism that are placed in holes arranged at various points in the columns or walls. The locking bars are usually fixed to these bars and have two couplings complementary to the bars, allowing a firm connection, without possible displacement. However, when the blocking bars have to be removed when filling or emptying the truck, there is no suitable place to put them. For this reason, they are sometimes forgotten on the loading dock, loose inside the truck, with the inconvenience that can ensue when the truck is filled or the locking bar is moved across the platform and the risk of damage or falling of the truck. lock bar with sudden movements. It is also known to take advantage of the peaked projections to hang the blocking bar (with ropes) from the side bars of the truck, but this creates a dangerous situation.

The applicant is not aware of any solution to this problem similar to the invention.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of a system for hanging the blocking bars, according to the first claim and whose variants solve the problems of the state of the art.

The invention is a system for hanging the blocking bars, usable in a loading platform with a perimeter structure formed by at least one front wall and a series of columns or side walls. Normally the structure comprises a roof and the rear part is closed by a door. Likewise, when it has columns, it is common to have a canvas or similar closing the gaps between columns and walls. In the case of columns, the vehicle has removable bars between the columns and between the columns and walls. In either case, you have at least one cross-locking bar between those bars or walls to lock the load in place so it doesn't move forward or backward. According to the invention, the locking bars also comprise at least one first grip and the structure comprises at least one second grip that can be coupled to the first grip. The grips are configured to position the locking bar in a substantially vertical position. Generally, the second grips are arranged close to a door or access to the interior, so that it is easy to pick up or place the blocking bar when it is being loaded or emptied.

In the most preferred embodiment, the grips comprise a stud with a neck, fixed to one of the elements, and a plate with a triangular notch on one edge, finished off in a complementary area to the neck of the stud on the other. More preferably, it is the first grips that comprise the plate with the notch

In one solution, the locking bar comprises two first grips close to the ends.

Ideally, the second grips are on the inside of the structure for safety, so that there is no detachable object on the outside of the vehicle.

Other variants are seen in the rest of the report.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

For a better understanding of the invention, the following figures are included.

MODES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

Next, an embodiment of the invention is briefly described, as an illustrative and non-limiting example of the latter.

Figure 1 shows an example of an embodiment in which the vehicle has a tractor element (not referenced) and a trailer is formed by a loading platform (1), where the pallets or another way of moving the load are arranged. The platform (1) has wheels and all the corresponding equipment, without it being relevant what equipment it carries. The tractor element is normally a truck cabin that pulls trailers or trailers.

The platform (1) of figure 1 has a perimeter structure (2,3) formed by a front wall (2), where the towing vehicle is arranged, a series of columns (3) and, optionally, a rear wall ( not shown) that may or may not have a door. Normally a roof is arranged on the structure (2,3). The columns (3) and walls (2) support a canvas (4) or other flexible closing material. In figure 2, the platform (1) is closed by walls and the rear wall corresponds to a door, one of whose leaves is shown open.

When the vehicle is in use, in the example of Figure 1, between the columns (3) and walls (2), detachable bars (5) are arranged, which generally have a rectangular section. Blocking bars (10) are placed on these bars (5) which, in use, are transverse to the vehicle's forward direction, preventing the sudden acceleration or braking move the load. The blocking bars (10) can be placed at ground level, in height... or at any point where a bar (5) is located. In figure 2, the locking bars (10) are fixed to the walls (2) of the structure.

The blocking bars (10) have first grips (6) at one or more points of their development, for example at 15-30 cm from one or both ends. On the other hand, the structure (2, 3) has second grips (7) in which the first grips (6) can be fixed removably. One or two second grips (7) will preferably be provided for each locking bar (10). At least one of the second grips (7) is arranged in height, so that the blocking bar (10) can be placed vertically coupled to the structure (2,3). Normally, for safety, the second grips (7) are inside the vehicle.

Figure 3 shows a preferred embodiment example. In this case, the second grips (7) are lugs (8) with a neck. The first grips (6) are a plate with a triangular notch (9) on one edge, the notch (9) being finished off in a complementary area to the neck of the corresponding lug (8) to reduce vibrations with the movement of the vehicle. The plate that carries the notch (9) can be part of the blocking bar (10), deforming one of its walls, or be coupled to it.

It has to be considered that the notch (9) can be in the structure (2,3) and the lug (8) in the locking bar (10), changing the orientation of the notch (9), but it is less preferred. These grips (6,7) can also be replaced by other variants.

In this way, when it is not necessary to use the blocking bar (10), because the platform (1) is sufficiently empty, it is not left loose but is attached to the structure (2,3) by means of the grips (6). ,7) and is easily accessible to take it up again, fully fixed so that it does not vibrate and it can fall or damage elements of the vehicle, and easily located by anyone who carries out the load.
