FORK-TYPE ATTACHABLE TO A BACKHOE

Description

1 / 4 FORK-TYPE ATTACHABLE TO A BACKHOE Technological sector of the model

[0001] The present utility model belongs, in general, to the technological sector of equipment for handling loads and refers, more specifically, to an attachable fork and a backhoe loader, which allows it to be used as a forklift and lift pallets with loads. Known state of the art

[0002] The state of the art in this technological sector includes forks that can be attached to a backhoe loader bucket, enabling it to be used as a forklift; however, these conventional devices have a number of problems and shortcomings.

[0003] Initially, it should be noted that these forks have problems with attachment, being unable to fit all backhoe models. In addition, inadequate attachment methods often cause damage to the bucket to which they are attached, even causing holes.

[0004] Another problem with conventional models relates to the entry of debris through the ends of the forks and the top of the mounting base, which are open. Finally, they also have problems with lack of strength, which causes them to bend with use. New features and objectives of the model.

[0005] The utility model proposed and disclosed in this descriptive report aims to solve all the problems presented. Petition 870260036727, dated 04 / 20 / 2026, page 7 / 13 2 / 4 by conventional equipment. To this end, it is equipped with a movable base with adjustable positions for attachment to the backhoe bucket, fitted with a fastening mechanism consisting of an articulated movable arm, operated by a screw and rotating lever, which ensures the necessary tightening for a firm attachment, without causing structural damage to the backhoe bucket. The combination of these two features allows adaptation to any backhoe model, without damaging or puncturing its bucket.

[0006] The forks have their ends closed, as are the upper faces of the fixing bases, which prevents the unwanted entry of debris.

[0007] The mounting bases have side reinforcement pieces that prevent bending.

[0008] Finally, the proposed model also provides constructive variants equipped with optional load supports which, when fitted, prevent the load from shifting. Description of the attached drawings

[0009] In order for the present utility model to be fully understood and put into practice by any technician in this technological sector, the proposed constructive form will be explained in detail, based on the attached drawings listed below, which substantially illustrate it, in which:

[0018] Figure 9 is a perspective drawing of the second constructive variant with telescopic load support, shown partially retracted. Detailed description of the model.

[0019] As can be seen in figures 1 to 5, the fork-mounted backhoe attachment has a movable base (1) for coupling to the backhoe bucket (2), from which a boom (3) projects. Said base (1) is closed at the front (4) and top (5) to prevent the entry of debris, and is also equipped with side reinforcement plates (6) with slots (7) with a special shape for insertion into the bucket (2). The fastening mechanism consists of a rotating lever (8) associated with a threaded rod (9), the lower end of which moves an articulated bar. Petition 870260036727, dated 04 / 20 / 2026, page 9 / 13 4 / 4 (10), which is compressed against the surface of the shell (2) and makes the fixation. The shaft (11) of the bar (10) is supported by two oblong pieces (12) that allow adjustment of the position of the movable base (1) forward and backward in relation to the shell (2). The spears (3) also have their ends closed (13).

[0020] Optionally, the rotary lever (8) may have an outer coating of rubber or plastic to provide greater user comfort.

[0021] In a first constructive variant represented in figures 6 and 7, the movable base (1) is provided with an upper opening (14) for receiving and coupling a load support bar (15), with a recessed end (16) with the same dimension and section as the opening (14), for insertion into it, also provided with a locking protrusion (17)

[0022] In a second constructive variant, the load support bar is telescopic so as to allow adjustment of its height, having a hollow lower section (18) open at the top, also equipped with a recessed end (16) with a locking protrusion (17) for insertion and fixing in the opening (14). However, it is operationally connected to an upper section (19), sliding inside the lower section (18), whose position can be locked by means of a pin (20) inserted in openings (21). Said pin (20) is hung on a chain (22).

[0023] This descriptive report dealt with a fork-mounted device attachable to a backhoe loader, featuring industrial application, novelty and functional improvement, resulting from an inventive act, from which it can be inferred that all the legal requirements exist to obtain a utility model patent.
