French Abstract

Dispositif pour charger ou décharger une charge utile sur un camion qui se compose d'une plateforme basculante soutenue par un châssis. La partie arrière de la plateforme est rattachée au châssis par un organe de liaison qui est logé entre ces deux éléments. L'organe de liaison comporte une première section articulée qui est rattachée au châssis par un joint rotoïde, autour duquel pivote l'organe de liaison. L'organe de liaison comporte une deuxième section articulée qui est rattachée à la plateforme basculante par un joint articulé installé sur la plateforme, lequel permet à la plateforme de basculer selon l'axe horizontal du pivot arrière. Un premier vérin, installé entre le châssis et la plateforme, entraîne la plateforme pour la faire basculer autour du joint articulé, lequel joint est commandé par le premier vérin. Le joint articulé de la plateforme, qui se déplace parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal du véhicule, répond à la commande d'un deuxième vérin placé entre le châssis et l'organe de liaison, en se déplaçant vers le bas. Le premier et le deuxième vérins ont des mouvements synchronisés et prédéterminés afin d'actionner la plateforme pour la faire basculer vers l'arrière et vers le bas.
