Abstract
An equipment handling device is provided comprising a frame having forward and rearward ends and opposite sides. At least one extensible column structure extends upwardly from the frame. A pair of arm members are rotatably mounted on the column structure adjacent the upper end thereof and are adapted to hold equipment to be worked upon in a fixed position with respect to the arm members. The arm members are pivotable about a horizontal axis such that the equipment can be moved to a selected position for work thereon. A locking mechanism locks the arm members against rotation from the selected position. The device includes upwardly curved portions extending forwardly from the frame such that the device can be pivoted upwardly and forwardly for picking up the equipment to be worked upon.
Claims16
An equipment handling device, comprising:
- a frame having forward and rearward ends and opposite sides;
- column means extending upwardly from said frame and having a first end fixed to said frame and a spaced apart second end;
- a horizontally disposed elongated shaft mounted on said second end of said column means;
- arm means having a first end mounted on said shaft and a spaced apart second end;
- support means on said arm means for holding said equipment remote from said first end of said arm means;
- said arm means being pivotable about a horizontal axis defined by the longitudinal axis of said shaft whereby said equipment is selectively positionable along an arc centered on said horizontal axis for work thereon;
- said arm means including a pair of spaced apart arm members each being mounted on said shaft for rotation therewith;
- said arm members each including first support means for securely engaging a first portion of said equipment and supporting said equipment in said fixed position;
- second support means mounted on said arm means for engaging a second portion of said equipment to hold said equipment in said fixed position;
- and
- said second support means including a crossbar extending between said arm members and having at least one head member thereon for engaging said equipment.
