Abstract:
The invention relates to a vacuum hoisting device with a vertical hoisting tube (2) suspended at its upper end and connected to a vacuum source (4), and which at a lower end is provided with a suction foot (14) and a tubular positioning handle (15) for manoeuvring of the suction foot, and a manually operated valve device (26), which is kept closed for hoisting of the suction foot and is kept open for lowering of the suction foot by admission of air to the hoisting tube. For operating the valve device (26) this is connected with a grip sleeve (16) slidably journalled on the positioning handle, which is directed obliquely downwards, and the connection of the valve device (26) to the grip sleeve (16) is designed such, that the valve device closes when the grip sleeve is slided upwards and opens when the grip sleeve is slided downwards for synchronizing the movement of the suction foot upwards and downwards with the movement of the grip sleeve.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a vacuum lifting device with a contractible and extensible suction tube ( 1 ) and a suction cup ( 3 ), which device is provided with a valve house having an interior that is communicating with the interior of the suction tube. The valve house has an aperture (13) for inlet of air and a valve device for regulating the air inlet by a valve body (14,20,31) that is actuated by a rotary cam disc (10) which is rotatable together with a rotary hand grip ( 11 ), which cam disc has a periphery designed to continuously displace the valve body an adjustable distance essentially perpendicular to the turning axis of the cam disc in dependence on the turning angle of the hand grip ( 11 ). A steep increase of the cam disc (10) radius (17) makes possible at need a stepwise displacement of the valve body in addition to the regulated distance.
