  • Patent number: 10119283
    Abstract: A concrete distributor mast has a plurality of mast arms, which can be moved relative to each other. The mast arms are connected to each other in a hinged manner at coupling points and have in the region of the coupling points hinge points, at which drive and coupling members of a coupling gear mechanism that actuates the mast arm movement are coupled in a hinged manner. Situated at the hinge points of the mast arms are hinge components, which span the respective mast arm transversely and define a bearing axis. At least one of the hinge components has a hinge pin, which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the mast arm, projects outwards beyond the mast arm to both sides at the free ends thereof, and is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the mast arm. On the ends of the hinge pin that project beyond the mast arm, bearing shells are arranged for the rotary bearing of an adjacent drive or coupling member of the coupling gear mechanism.

  • Patent number: 9376827
    Abstract: A method produces a mast arm with a mast arm body and with at least one pipe holder for a concrete-distributing mast for use on stationary and mobile concrete pumps with a plurality of mast arms which are connected to one another so as to be pivotable on articulated joints about an axis of articulation and which hold a concrete-conveying line which has at least one rotary joint which has an axis of rotation aligned with an axis of articulation of an articulated joint. The at least one pipe holder here has a pipe support section which serves for receiving the concrete-conveying line at a holding point which has a location predetermined by the position of the axis of articulation. The mast arm body is premanufactured with a receiving intersection and the at least one pipe holder is premanufactured with a fastening section which has a connecting intersection.
