Abstract
A maintenance device for use underneath a deck has an elongated arm connectable to the deck and extending beneath the deck and movable about a vertical axis. A platform mounted on the arm is movable along the arm and may be further movable relative to the arm such as by being rotatable about a second vertical axis or movable vertically relative to the arm. A deck including such a maintenance device may have a plurality of connecting points spaced about the deck such that the arm, by being connected to different ones of said connecting points can reach the entire area beneath the deck.
Claims15
A maintenance device for use underneath a deck comprising:
- an elongated arm which includes connecting means for connecting the arm to a deck with the arm extending beneath the deck and pivotable about a first vertical axis to swing around underneath the deck,
- and a platform mounted on the arm and movable longitudinally therealong beneath the deck, said platform further being rotatable about a second vertical axis, spaced from the first vertical axis, relative to said arm.
A deck mounted on columns and extending horizontally with a space therebeneath, a maintenance device connectable to the deck for movement about a vertical axis, said maintenance device including an arm extending underneath the deck such that as the arm pivots about said vertical axis, the arm swings beneath the deck, and a platform movable longitudinally along the arm beneath the deck, said platform also being movable vertically on the arm.
