Abstract
A multi-port vacuum lifting attachment, with remote controlled release, including a dual port vacuum lifting attachment for use in the concrete and steel industries, the attachment includes flexible seals for each of its suction ports, that creates a tight vacuum seal on smooth steal, and also upon roughened surfaces such as concrete, allowing for the suction attachment of the device to these panels, to attain their lifting, transporting, and releasing, with the aid of the remote controlled release mechanism.
Claims8
A multi-port vacuum lifting attachment incorporating a base plate, a framework mounted upon said base plate, said framework being formed of hollow tubing that provides a conduit for transfer of any vacuum generated within the attachment during its usage, said attachment including an engine provided upon its base plate, a vacuum pump interconnected with the engine and which when operative generating a substantial vacuum for transfer through the framework, a pair of suction ports provided to the underside of the base plate, each suction port having a sealing ring around its periphery that can seal upon any concrete slab or metal panel to which it may vacuum attach, to achieve their movement, and said multi-port vacuum lifting attachment capable of attachment to a slab at least at two locations, and capable of straddling any imperfection upon such slab or panel that would otherwise prevent the vacuum attraction and holding by the suction ports thereto during usage and operation of this lifting attachment.
A multi-port vacuum lifting attachment incorporating a base plate, a framework mounted upon said base plate, said framework being formed of hollow tubing that provides a conduit for transfer of any vacuum generated within the attachment during its usage, said attachment including an engine supported upon its base plate, a vacuum pump interconnected with the engine and which when operative generating a substantial vacuum for transfer through the framework, said vacuum pump also being supported by the base plate, said base plate mounting a pair of suction ports provided to the underside of said base plate, each suction port having a sealing ring around its periphery that can seal upon any concrete slab or metal panel to which it may vacuum attach, to achieve their movement, said multi-port vacuum lifting attachment capable of attachment of at least one of its suction ports to any such slab or panel to attain its lifting during usage and operation of this lifting attachment.
