Patent

CA 2115280

A gripping apparatus is provided that may be rotatably mounted on a vehicle, comprising an articulated boom with a gripping head rotatably and pivotally mounted thereto. The head is provided with opposable jaws comprising jaw members that apply an even pressure to an object being gripped. A saw may be pivotally mounted to the head. A drive coupling may be provided to provide a continuous rotary link between hydraulic lines on the boom with lines the head. The coupling comprises a coupling body rotatably housed within a sheath with a groove between the coupling body and the sheath. The groove permits fluid to be transmitted from the body to the sheath while they are rotated relative to each other. The boom may be provided with a link joining two of the segments, provided with dual articulated cylinder mounts on opposing sides and capable of permitting approximately 360 degrees of rotation between the segments.

Cette invention concerne un dispositif de préhension tournant à monter sur un véhicule et formé d'une flèche articulée et d'un grappin pivotant et tournant monté au bout de celle-ci. Le grappin comprend des mâchoires opposées qui appliquent une pression uniforme sur l'objet à saisir. Une scie pivotante peut y être intégrée. Un coupleur d'entraînement peut être prévu pour assurer un lien rotatif continu entre les conduits hydrauliques de la flèche et du grappin. Ce coupleur comprend un corps tournant à l'intérieur d'une enveloppe, une gorge étant ménagée entre les deux. Cette gorge permet le transfert du fluide hydraulique du corps à l'enveloppe pendant que les deux tournent l'un par rapport à l'autre. La flèche peut comporter deux segments articulés réunis par un connecteur à double point d'ancrage des vérins de commande de pivotement relatif sur environ 360 degrés.
