This application claims the benefit of a provisional application U.S. Ser. No. 60/772,288 filed in then names of Eugene and Michelle Nasuti on Feb. 10, 2006.
FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThis invention generally relates to utility trays for lifts and more particularly, to scissors lifts.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONScissors lifts are generally known in the art and used in a variety of construction related trades. Reference is made, e.g., to U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,983,960 (Scissors Lift), 6,257,372 (Scissor Lift and Method for Using the Same), 5,722,513 (Scissor Lift), 4,113,065 (Scissors Lift), 4,175,644 (Scissors Lift), 5,490,754 (Hydraulic Upper Deck for a Trailer), 6,651,775 (Low Level Scaffold with Ballscrew Drive), 4,930,598 (Scissors Lift Apparatus), 6,761,248 (Adjustable height platform suitable for installation on a vehicle), 4,558,648 (Energy recycling scissors lift), 4,899,987 (Vehicle scissors lift), 5,394,959 (Scissor lift apparatus for work platforms and the like), 4,491,449 (Load raising vehicle and method), 3,785,462 (Scissor Lift and Drive Mechanism therefore), 6,425,459 (Aerial work platform apparatus with anti-tipping supplement), 6,050,365 (Scissors-type work platform lift machine with electromechanical based lift actuation arrangement), 5,695,173 (Scissors lift platform with electronic control), 5,145,029 (Self-storing maintenance stand for a scissors lift aerial work platform), 6,044,927 (Work platform lift machine with scissor lift mechanism employing telescopable electro-mechanical based lift actuation arrangement), 4,867,277 (Portable lifting device and cart), 4,114,854 (Scissors lift work platform) and 3,831,713 (Platforms System for Servicing Aircraft Landing Gear). The disclosure of each of these patents is incorporated by reference into this specification.
These and similar apparatus are also commonly known as snorkel lifts, knuckle lifts, man lifts, scaffolds, aerial work platforms, low-level scaffolds, platform lift machines, hydraulic decks, mobile work platforms, adjustable height work platforms and other names and nicknames known to those of ordinary skill in the art. These devices are commonly used by tradesman such as masons, carpenters, painters, carpet layers, roofers, electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, utility workers, and the like. These devices are also commonly used in the storage and transport of materials in commercial and industrial settings.
Generally, scissors lifts comprise a working platform, e.g. a deck, surrounded at its periphery by vertical and horizontal members, e.g. guard rails or safety railings that operate as a safety feature to enclose workers and protect against falls from the elevated surface of the deck. While presumably adequate for their intended purpose, they have drawbacks in their limited functionality. It is frequently necessary for workers in the scissors lifts to access tools and small parts to complete their work, e.g., wire cutters, hammers, pipe wrenches, screwdrivers, screws, bolts, tape, clamps, nails, drills and the like. In some applications, workers also require access to materials such as wire, pipe, lumber, roofing tiles, conduit and the like.
The work platform, or deck, has limited storage space due to its compact size. As a result, workers often repeatedly enter and exit (dismount and re-mount) the deck to access these small tools and other items, creating additional safety concerns with unnecessary movement about the elevated work surface. This frequent activity also creates wear and tear upon the scissors lift as well as inefficient and costly labor delays in completing assigned work tasks. Additionally, using the deck for transport and storage of tools and materials can create a safety hazard and an obstruction to the worker.
While the practical utility of utility trays is generally known, none of the existing devices may be suitably adapted to the unique configuration of the scissors lift. Reference is made to U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,489,837 (Mechanic's creeper support and utility tray), 4,515,242 (moveable hand railing and tray for ladders), 4,874,147 (tray and tool holder adaptable to stepladders), 5,312,002 (utility tray), 6,237,799 (utility tray), 5,836,557 (detachable utility tray for step ladder), 6,098,748 (adjustable height tool bin system), 5,915,646 (cart for carrying spools of wire and utility trays), 5,967,259 (utility tray for stepladders), and 6,902,034 (apparatus with utility tray mounted to scaffold). The disclosure of each of these patents is incorporated by reference into this specification.
Rigidly attached utility trays would not take into account various angles of position of scissors lift members or would not always be in the optimum orientation for maintaining tools and supplies for ease of use.
Existing moveable mounts for utility trays do not adequately protect against rotational movement, e.g. swaying, during the taxiing of the scissors lift, and the emptying of the contents of the utility tray.
There is needed a device or system that can obviate or mitigate the aforementioned safety concerns while simultaneously enhancing the convenience and efficiency of the deck workspace for the tradesman working in a scissors lift.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIn accordance with this invention, and in one embodiment thereof, there is provided a utility tray assembly for a scissors lift that can be easily and quickly attached or detached from the horizontal deck members of almost any conventional prefabricated or constructed scissors lift.
It is therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a utility tray assembly for a scissors lift that is sufficiently light and portable to be easily transported to the job and mounted in operative position by a single workman.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a user a more convenient means of storing and accessing tools, parts, material and supplies while working in the scissors lift in the way of a utility tray assembly.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a utility tray assembly for a scissors lift that may be mounted to scissors lift members of varying thicknesses and configurations.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a user a utility tray assembly for a scissors lift for storing and accessing tools, parts, materials and supplies while working in the scissors lift that eliminates or reduces the necessity of dismounting and re-mounting the deck while completing the assigned work tasks.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a user a utility tray assembly for a scissors lift that saves the user time and energy in completing his work tasks.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a utility tray assembly for a scissors lift that is durable and reliable.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a utility tray assembly for a scissors lift that is portable and may be moved from one job site to another.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a utility tray assembly for a scissors lift that comprises a tray mount that comprises an anti-swaying stabilizer to protect against rotation movement and emptying of the contents of the utility tray.
It is yet another object of this invention to provide a utility tray assembly for a scissors lift that is economical from the viewpoint of the manufacturer and consumer, is susceptible of low manufacturing costs with regard to labor and materials, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices for the consuming public, thereby making it economically available to the buying public.
Whereas there may be many embodiments of the present invention, each embodiment may meet one or more of the foregoing recited objects in any combination. It is not intended that each embodiment will necessarily meet each objective.
Thus, having broadly outlined the more important features of the present invention in order that the detailed description thereof may be better understood, and that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated, there are, of course, additional features of the present invention that will be described herein and will form a part of the subject matter of the claims appended to this specification.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The present invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
