Embodiment Construction

[0026] figure 1 An embodiment of the parked vehicle shock absorber of the present invention is shown, including the basic components of the parked vehicle shock absorber.

[0027] In this case, the U-shaped part 1 with the arms 6 and 7 is formed from a flat steel plate welded to the base plate 8 , which is arranged vertically and diverges at an angle β to the base plate 8 other than 90°. The opening of arms 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and the angles α and β are chosen such that arms 4 and 5 grip arms 6 and 7 . It can be clearly seen from the figure that the width of the U-shaped part 2 is greater than that of the U-shaped part 1, which provides greater reliability for safely parking the vehicle. The arms 4 and 5 of the U-shaped part 2 converge at an angle α relative to the base surface 9 which is different from 90°. Angles α and β are nominally equal, but their tolerances are chosen such that angles α and β allow a small negative tolerance during manufacturing. This is to avoid too...

Abstract

The invention relates to a docking buffer for attaching to ramps, comprising an elastic damping element (3) that is situated between two U-shaped sections (1; 2) consisting of a hard, shock-proof material. The limbs (4, 5) and (6, 7) of said sections are adjacent to one another and can be displaced in relation to one another, the limbs (4, 5) of one U-shaped section (2) converging at an angle alpha that deviates from 90 degrees in relation to a base surface (9) and the limbs (6, 7) of the other U-shaped section (1) diverging at an angle beta that deviates from 90 degrees in relation to a baseplate (8). The opening widths between the ends of the limbs (4, 5) and (6, 7) and the sizes of the angles alpha, beta are selected in such a way that the limbs (4, 5) embrace the limbs (6, 7). The advantage of the invention is that it provides a docking buffer with a simple construction that is thus cost-effective to produce, said buffer affording reliable protection even during an off-centre collision. The greater width of the mobile section in relation to the fixed section creates a larger impact surface for the docking vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a shock absorber for parked vehicles mounted on loading docks, in particular loading docks and transfer bridges, which has an elastic damping element located between two between U-shaped parts. The arms of the two U-shaped parts are adjacent to each other and can move relative to each other. The most important function of the shock absorber is to prevent the vehicle from causing damage to buildings or vehicles when it stops at the loading and unloading dock. Background technique [0002] When loaded trucks drive into logistics centers or other transfer stations, a connection must be established between the load surface of the truck and the corresponding building. In order to form a walkable or wheeled connection for the passage of ground conveyance means, height- and length-adjustable transfer bridges are often used in or next to buildings. After the loaded vehicle stops, install the transfer bridge on the load surface of th...
