  • Distribution boom for mobile concrete pumps comprising joints for adjacent arms, and mobile concrete pump
    Patent number: 12018498
    Abstract: A distribution boom for a concrete pump comprises at least a first and a second boom arm, wherein the first and the second boom arm are connected to one another via a joint and are pivotable relative to one another via the joint about a pivot axis, and a concrete delivery line is provided along the boom arms. The joint connects the first and the second boom arm offset to one another so that the load-bearing structures of each of the two boom arms intersect a separating plane running perpendicular to the pivot axis between the first and the second boom arm only in the joint, wherein a hydraulic cylinder is arranged on one boom arm and connected to the other boom arm via coupling rods so that the two boom arms can be pivoted relative to one another by the hydraulic cylinder about the pivot axis of the joint.
