Smart Summary: A device helps construction workers move equipment used for applying coatings on structures. It has two main parts: one part holds a vertical bar that supports a platform for the worker to stand on, while the other part moves the platform itself. The first part has wheels for easy movement, and the second part can be attached or removed from it. When both parts are connected, they work together to move the platform; when separated, the first part can still move the vertical bar. A third part provides extra support to keep everything stable during movement. πŸš€ TL;DR

Abstract:

A device for moving equipment operative for applying an outer coating on structures by a construction worker has a first part moveable by a construction worker for holding and moving at least one vertical bar for supporting a platform for the standing of the construction worker and provided with wheels, and a second part also moveable by a construction worker, formed for holding and moving the platform for standing of a construction worker, and removably receivable in the first part, so that when the second part is removed from the first part, the first part can move the at least one vertical bar for supporting the platform, but when the second part is received in the first part, the first part and the second part can move the platform, and a third part securely supports the first part, and the second part, when assembled, securely supports the first part with a vertical bar during their movement.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to devices for moving equipment operative for performing works on structures, for example for applying an outer coating on structures by construction workers.

It is known that equipment operative for applying an outer coating on structures such as houses and the like by construction workers usually includes a platform for standing of the construction worker and performing works, and supporting bars which extend vertically and support the platform in a horizontal position. Both the platform and the supporting bars which in operation support the platform in a horizontal position are very heavy components, and their movement from one site in which the work needs to be done to another side in which another work to be done or to storage is very difficult because of great weight of these components.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, it is object of the present invention to provide a device which facilitate moving equipment operative for performing works on structures, for example for applying an outer coating on structures by construction workers.

In keeping with these objects one feature of the present invention resides briefly stated in a device for moving equipment operative performing works on structures by a construction worker, which includes a first part moveable by a construction worker and formed for holding and transporting at least one vertical bar used for supporting a platform for standing of the construction worker, which first part is provided with wheels, and a second part also moveable by a construction worker and formed for holding and moving the platform for standing of a construction worker.

In this device the second part is removably receivable in the first part, so that when said second part is removed from said first part said first part alone can move the vertical bar for supporting the platform, but when said second part is received in the first part the first part and the second part together can move the platform.

As a result, the device significantly facilitates moving the equipment operative for applying an outer coating on structures by a construction worker without any additional assistance and without application of excessively hard work.

The present invention is illustrated by the following drawings.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

It is well known that for performing works on structures, for example for applying an outer coating on structures by construction workers an equipment is utilized which includes, as shown in FIG. 1 vertical bars that support platforms on which a construction worker can stand when the carries out corresponding works.

This equipment is very heavy so that when one work is finished and it is necessary to move it to another workplace or to storage it is really necessary to have a many people and a special transportation to achieve it.

In accordance with the present invention a new device is proposed which facilitate the movement of the equipment so that the worker who performed work using this equipment can transport it to another workplace or to a storage alone.

The new device has a first part A which is shown in FIG. 2. It has a bottom 1 arranged on an axle 2 with two wheels on its both sides. It also has a front wall 4, a rear wall 5, and a vertical plate 6 which carries a ring 7. The new device further has a second part B which is shown in FIG. 4. It has a bottom 8, two side walls 9, and a vertical projection 10. The device A and the device B can be assembled together as shown in FIG. 4.

FIG. 1 illustrates the front view of the first part A of the new device. It has a bottom 1 arranged on an axle 2 with two wheels 3 on both sides. It also has a front wall 4, a rear wall 5, a vertical plate 6, and through hole 7.

FIG. 2 illustrates the back view of the first part A of the new device.

FIG. 3 illustrates the top view of the first part A of the new device.

FIG. 4 illustrates the front view of the second part B of the new device. It has a bottom 8, two side walls 9, a vertical projection 10, and through hole 11.

FIG. 5 illustrates the back view of the second part B of the new device.

FIG. 6 illustrates the bottom view of the second part B of the new device.

FIG. 7 illustrates the top view of the second part B of the new device.

FIG. 8 illustrates a third part C of the new device. Part C has through hole 12.

FIG. 9 illustrates assembled devices A, B, and C.

FIG. 10 illustrates assembled devices A and C.

Claims

We claim:

1. A device for moving equipment operative for applying an outer coating on structures by a construction worker comprising

a first part moveable by a construction worker and formed for holding and moving at least one vertical bar for supporting a platform for standing of the construction worker said first part being provided with wheels;

a second part also moveable by a construction worker and formed for holding and moving the platform for standing of a construction worker, said second part being removably receivable in the first part, so that when said second part is removed
