GB2498003A - Lifting tool for bricks or similar - Google Patents

Abstract

A lifting tool for objects such as bricks comprises at least a four pronged grab clamp 3, 10 and may be incrementally slidingly and telescopically adjusted from both ends of the tool by means of strategically placed holes 12 that will allow for the near correct positioning of the tool upon an object in order to safely grab/clamp and lift the selected object or objects 14. The tool is intended to require no welds in its construction, and may be formed from aluminium. In use, two tools may be used; one in each hand.

Description

POINTMASTER BRICKLIFTER

THIS INVENTION

This present invention relates to a tool device for grabbing clamping lifting carrying laying and stacking bricks blocks paving boxes objects etc of which tool design is not limited to manual handling for it can be adapted and/or gauged for machine handling.

KNOWN OTHER TOOLS

There are certain other types of manual handling devices for lifting an amount of bricks or a block of which weight of tool increases the load dramatically with regards the HSE stipulations on manual lifting and carrying of which tools are designed to be welded that increases the risk of stress failures and these tools adjustment facilities are set at pre designed points to try to comply with a product size of which adjustment sometimes results in slack fittings whereby the handle is not in the correct lifting position and/or the tool will double over on itself with the object falling out of the grip of which grip is a limited two point connection to any object and it is also found that these tools will not reduce to handle smaller sizes of smaller weights of handling in order to use with both hands to spread the weight evenly about the torso to be safely lifted with both hands equally.

INTENTION OF THIS INVENTION

It is the intention of this invention to provide lifting tool devices that are lightweight and preferably (but not limited) to be made from aluminum with no welding points at all and of which aluminum material will allow at least a four pronged soft base grab clamp connection of the object lifted which tool can be incrementally sliding and telescope adjusted from both ends of the tool by strategically placed holes that will allow for the near correct positioning of the tool upon any object in order to safely grab clamp lift carry lay or stack any selected object or objects within a designated adequate range of any manufactured specific size of tool of which tool in the manual lifting carrying and stacking mode of use it is preferred that two lifting tools are used in each hand in order to distribute the weight evenly about the torso when lifting and carrying as recommended to do so by the 11SF (The Health & Safety Executive) in order to place layers in even stacks in preparation for construction works.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ACCOMPYING DRAWINGS

Fig A. I is at least a plastic grip that will fit over the distal single end of the actuating handle Fig B2.

Fig B. is at least an actuating handle 2 which has a fork end 3 which locates with the object to be lifted whereby 4 is placed into rail slot 8 of Fig C6 is the box housing to locate with a hole 5 with pin 12 through hole 5 and 4 with R clip 13 through pin 12 to secure therein.

Fig C. is at least a box housing 6 with integral rail slot 8 and strategically place incrementally adjustable holes 5 and 7 whereby fine adjustment can be made from each end of the box housing in order to find the best possible positioning for the four locating points ofjaws width to suit any object in its range.

Fig D. is at least an adjustable back clamp 9 whereby the distal single end will be inserted into the box housing as in Fig C6 at its box end to locate with integral adjusting holes Fig C7 and 11 to be fixed there as aforementioned with pin Fig's EU and R clip 13 whereby forks 10 will locate the object to clamp there.

Fig's E. 12 is at least a pin that will insert through the holes as described to be secured there with at least an R clip 13.

Fig F. shows the tool placed over a row of bricks 14 whereby actuating handle 2 is fixed at point 12 in the front view of box housing 6 into rails slotS by which handle 2 will be lifted at grip I that will actuate against pin 12 to draw in the box housing which is attached to back clamp 9 at 12 to lever the tool into a four point grip of each end in order to allow the row of bricks to be grab clamp lifted carried and stacked in readiness for construction works.

Fig G. shows the tool placed over a building block to be lifted likewise as described at Fig F above. You can see that pin 12 has been adjusted to insert through box housing 6 and back clamp 9 to suit this size in a safe width adjustment to accommodate the object.

(Note: In the machine or mechanical lifting mode of this invention it will have at least a certain connecting point to attach to any operated machine or mechanical operated appliance of which design of connection is not drawn herein and is not limited to any).

I now think it was all dropped to conceal certain information from anyone who could possibly find for professional negligence's etc? All of the latter has cost my wife and me at least £500,000, including Patent Fees of which it seems was a total waste of money I paid over 21 years, because actually my Valid Patents did not protect me; to not be able to find for any infringements at all. Our businesses also suffered badly, of which my wife and I have worked dammed hard as being self employed in the Construction Industry, for the past 43 years; and our manufacturing company with POINTMASTER nroducts etc which was lust about destroyed by the infringements So please allow this claim in order to protect me and my claims from the adverse procedures of the Patent Office and alleged Patent Solicitors Attorneys Lawyers Banisters and Judges.
