Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a rain cover sheet installation aid that improves the equipment specifications of platters used to transport and move heavy objects, thereby improving work safety and reducing and eliminating the workload. [Background technology]

[0002] The main function of the platter is to move, load, and unload heavy objects. Because heavy objects can be dangerous, there is a guard above the head to prevent falling objects, but there is no rain protection, so the platter will get wet in rainy weather. The overhead guard is made of only an iron frame to ensure visibility in the upper and forward direction, and the dimensions of the guard are set exactly to the frame dimensions of the platter body.The driver's seat is also set in a small space within the frame dimensions of the platter body.As a result, depending on the driver's working posture, there are times when the driver's shoulders and back are placed behind the frame dimensions of the platter body, and when it rains, they end up in places where there is no rain protection and they end up getting even wetter. This invention is a rain cover sheet attachment aid designed to reduce the chance of getting wet in the rain as much as possible by preventing the operator from getting wet in the limited narrow space of the platter body and allowing them to work safely without any hindrance.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 7-96749 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] As mentioned in the previous section, the platter itself had no structural equipment to protect it from rain, etc., and it got wet when it rained. As a result, there was a tendency for workers to become distracted when operating the platter and working when it rained, making it difficult to ensure both work and safety. In addition, because workers had to wear helmets, rainwater would get in up their necks, which tended to lower morale in terms of both the working environment and mental health. We believe that a rain protection sheet installation aid is needed to improve the working environment and ensure safety. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the rain protection sheet installation aid of the present invention is an openable rain protection sheet installation aid that is attached to the rear of the overhead guard (2) of the platter body (1) and can be opened or closed to extend the rain protection sheet (7) rearward. The left and right ends of a U-shaped frame (13) consisting of a rear panel (11) and left and right side panels (12) are rotatably attached to the left and right metal parts of the rear of the overhead guard (2). One of the left and right side panels (12) is equipped with an operating knob (4) that allows the platter operator to open and close the rain protection sheet installation aid (3), and a stopper (5) that keeps the top of the overhead guard (2) and the top of the U-shaped frame (13) on the same horizontal plane when the rain protection sheet installation aid (3) is opened and that stops the rotation of the U-shaped frame (13). By doing this, when it rains, quick rain protection measures can be taken by operating the knob (4) attached to the rain protection sheet attachment aid (3), which leads to the continuation of safe work and the maintenance and improvement of the worker's mental state. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] When it rains, the rain protection sheet attachment aid (3) can be opened at the rear of the overhead guard (2) of the platter body (1) by operating the knob (4) attached to the rain protection sheet attachment aid (3), thereby quickly preventing the user from getting wet in the event of a sudden rain shower. In addition, work can now be continued without interruption, and rainwater no longer gets from the helmet and onto the neck, as was the case before. This prevents a decline in mental health while working, and is expected to maintain and improve workability. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] 1 is a side view showing an embodiment of a rain cover sheet installation aid according to the present invention; [Figure 2] FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the rain protection sheet attachment aid when opened and closed. [Figure 3] FIG. 10 is a top view of the rain protection sheet installation aid when opened. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a side view of the overall appearance of the rain protection sheet attachment aid 3 attached to the rear part of the platter overhead guard 2 when it is open. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the rain protection sheet attachment aid 3 when it is opened and closed. Fig. 3 is a top view of the rain protection sheet attachment aid 3 when it is open. This rain protection sheet mounting aid 3 is an integrated structure in which a front-rear rotatable bolt and nut fixed attachment 6 is incorporated and rotatably fixed between the left and right corners at the rear of the overhead guard 2 of the platter main body 1 and each tip of the left and right side panels 12 of a U-shaped frame 13 consisting of a rear panel 11 and left and right side panels 12. This is used as a mechanism for folding the rain protection sheet mounting aid 3 toward the overhead guard 2 for storage. In reality, the normal shape of the rain protection sheet mounting aid 3 attached to the overhead guard 2 is when it is folded toward the overhead guard 2, with its tip overlapping diagonally with the overhead guard 2 for storage. This is the shape of the left side portion depicted by the solid line in Figure 2.

[0009] In addition, to achieve the rain protection function, the rain protection sheet attachment aid 3 is made by covering the entire surface area of ​​the overhead guard 2 and the rain protection sheet attachment aid 3 with a rain protection sheet 7 made of a single vinyl sheet, which is tied and fixed around the periphery with strings 9 at 10 cm intervals. When it rains, the rain protection sheet attachment aid 3 can be opened backward by turning the opening / closing knob 4 attached to either the left or right side of the rain protection sheet attachment aid 3 backward, and the person can immediately avoid getting wet in the rain. When closing the rain protection sheet attachment aid 3, the rain protection sheet attachment aid 3 can be folded and stored in the direction of the overhead guard 2 by rotating the knob 4 on either the left or right side of the rain protection sheet attachment aid 3, which is positioned at the rear, forward. As a method for draining rainwater from the rain protection sheet mounting aid 3, a mechanism is adopted in which rainwater that has fallen and accumulated on the rain protection sheet mounting aid 3 is drained to the outside through a U-shaped drainage guide groove 8 provided on the rear panel 11 of the rain protection sheet mounting aid 3.

[0010] Figure 3 shows the rain protection sheet attachment aid 3 in its opened state, rotated approximately 180 degrees backward from its folded and stored position on the overhead guard 2 side, and stopping at a position on the same horizontal plane as the overhead guard. The rear extension length D1 of the rain protection sheet attachment aid 3 is a maximum of 150 mm behind the rearmost part of the guard. The basis for these dimensions is that the rearmost position of the overhead guard 2 is the same as the dimensions of the platter body 1, so as not to impede the platter's functions of turning and rotating, and to prevent the platter driver's body from getting wet in the rain. Figure 2 shows the state in which the rain protection sheet mounting aid 3 is folded and stored in front of the overhead guard 2, based on the boundary line 10 between the platter body 1 and the rain protection sheet mounting aid 3 attached to the rear part of the overhead guard 2, and the state in which it is opened out on the same horizontal plane as the rear part of the overhead guard 2. As shown in Figure 2, as a method of attaching the rain protection sheet attachment aid 3 to the overhead guard 2, and also for the purpose of folding and storing the rain protection sheet attachment aid 3 on the overhead guard 2 side, forward / backward movable rotatable bolt and nut fixing attachments 6 are attached to two locations on the left and right of the rearmost part of the overhead guard 2, and the tips of the left and right side panels 12 of the U-shaped frame 13 of the rain protection sheet attachment aid 3 are inserted into these attachments and fixed with bolts and nuts, forming an integrated structure.

[0011] When it is not raining, the rain protection sheet mounting aid 3 is normally positioned so that its U-shaped frame 13 is folded at an angle of approximately 180 degrees toward the overhead guard 2, with the rear portion of the overhead guard 2 and the mounting position of the rain protection sheet mounting aid 3 as the base point. To be precise, when stored, the rear panel 11 of the rain protection sheet mounting aid 3 overlaps with the overhead guard 2, so the rain protection sheet mounting aid 3 is stored at an angle of approximately 170 degrees with its tip raised (Figure 2). To open it from its stored state, the rain protection sheet mounting aid 3 can be opened behind the overhead guard 2 by lifting up the knob 4 attached to either the left or right side panel 12 of the rain protection sheet mounting aid 3 corresponding to the left or right rear portion of the driver's seat and rotating it backward. Furthermore, when storing the rain protection sheet installation aid 3 from an open state, the knob 4 on either the left or right side panel 12 at the rear of the rain protection sheet installation aid 3 is raised and rotated forward, so that the rain protection sheet can be folded forward at an angle of approximately 170 degrees toward the overhead guard 2 and stored.

[0012] The stoppers 5 provided to ensure stable use of the rain protection sheet attachment aid 3 are rod-shaped metal plates extending forward from the tips of the rear surfaces of the left and right side panels 12 of the U-shaped frame 13 . The role and purpose of the stopper 5 is to open the rain protection sheet mounting aid 3 and keep it in the same horizontal position as the overhead guard 2, and to support the platter so that its fixed position does not waver due to vibration, movement, rotation, etc. while it is operating, so that its original purpose of providing protection from the rain is not impeded. The detailed mounting shape of stopper 5 is as shown in Figure 2, in which when rain protection sheet mounting aid 3 is closed on the overhead guard 2 side, it is in the shape of a rod that protrudes upside down on the left and right sides of the top surface. When rain protection sheet mounting aid 3 is rotated approximately 180 degrees backward and opened flush with overhead guard 2, stopper 5 is positioned downward, and its tip hits the corner at the bottom rear of overhead guard 2, stopping its rotation and fixing it in the same horizontal plane as overhead guard 2.

[0013] To prevent rainwater from getting in, a rain protection sheet 7 made of a single transparent vinyl sheet is used, stretched over the entire surface of the overhead guard 2 and the entire surface of the rain protection sheet mounting aid 3, and secured around the perimeter with strings 9 at 10cm intervals. By securing with strings 9, the vinyl sheet 7 can be easily replaced if it deteriorates. Additionally, reinforcing plates 14 are provided at two locations on the left and right sides of the inside bottom of the U-shaped drainage guide groove 8 located in the center of the rear panel 11 of the U-shaped frame 13. The purpose is to prevent rainwater flowing from the overhead guard 2 from accumulating on the rain protection sheet mounting aid 3, to keep the surface of the rain protection sheet 7 on the same horizontal plane as the surface of the overhead guard 2 and the surface of the rain protection sheet mounting aid 3, and to prevent sagging on the inside of the sheet, so that rainwater can be smoothly drained to the rear. [Industrial Applicability]

[0014] This idea is based on my experience in this field, and I believe it is worth adopting in practice, and I believe it has great potential for use. [Explanation of symbols]
