Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  The present invention relates to a structure of an open step cover of a forklift truck.
[0002]
[Prior art]
  FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a conventional open step cover.
  In a forklift truck, in order to serve as a foothold when an operator gets on and off the driver's seat, it is in the vicinity of the front wheel on the side plate of the body frame located between the front wheel and the rear wheel and one step below the floor of the driver's seat However, a stepped recess was formed, and an open step cover d was put on the recess to form a scaffold.
  As shown in FIG. 3, in the open step cover of the prior art, a hole e is formed in the lower side wall of the lower part of the open step cover d, and hot water that connects the inside of the frame and the car heater via the hole e. The hose a is passed through. Further, a simple hose protection spiral b having an appropriate length is attached to the outer periphery of the hose a around the hole e, and a fixing bracket c is installed on the front portion of the hose protection spiral b to Damages were prevented.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
  However, in the above-described prior art, the hose a is partially protected, and the fixing bracket c is only a part of the lower side of the open step cover d. Occasionally, foot shoes such as operators hit, hose, or step on the hose a, damaging the hose, and getting on and off. In addition, there was a problem that the appearance was poor. This invention makes it the subject to solve these malfunctions.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  The present invention has been made to cope with the above-described problem, and is used when an operator gets on and off the driver's seat, and the driver's seat is located near the front wheel of the side plate of the body frame located between the front wheel and the rear wheel. In a forklift truck having a stepped recess formed one step below the floor, three inner walls are formed by removing the upper wall and the front wall of the substantially rectangular parallelepiped container so as to cover the recess. An open step cover formed from one bottom wall is installed, and the height of the upper surface at the upper end of the three inner walls of this open step cover is close to the lower surface of the driver's seat floor. A second through hole for passing the hot water hose is formed in the side wall at the bottom of the lower part of the open step cover, and the open step is further protected to protect the hot water hose passing through the second through hole. A cover formed in an inverted L shape consisting of two surfaces of the front face and the top face is provided at an appropriate distance from the back side wall of the cover to the front side, thereby forming a recess in front of the back side wall of the open step cover. It is configured to close and form a closed space in the back, and vice versa L The upper surface of the letter-shaped cover is provided with a first through hole for a hot water hose, and the reverse L The height of the upper surface of the letter-shaped cover is the same as the height of the upper surface at the upper end of the inner wall of the open step cover.
[0005]
[Function and effect]
  The above-mentioned configuration prevents operators from hitting, hooking or stepping on the hot water hose when getting into and out of the driver's seat, preventing damage to the hose, etc., and a clean appearance. Will be.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of an open step cover according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view of a forklift truck equipped with the open step cover according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  The configuration of the open step cover according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
  A step-shaped recess used when an operator gets on and off the driver's seat of the forklift truck 10 and is stepped down from the driver's seat floor near the front wheel of the side plate of the body frame located between the front wheel and the rear wheel. Form. Three inner side walls obtained by removing the two walls of the upper wall corresponding to the lid of the substantially rectangular parallelepiped container and the front wall corresponding to the front side wall so as to cover the concave portion on the side surface of the forklift truck 10, that is, An open step cover 2 formed by a rear side wall 23, a front side wall 25 in the traveling direction, a rear side wall 26 in the traveling direction, and one bottom wall 27 is installed.
[0007]
  A second through hole 22 is provided in the rear side wall 23 at the lower part of the open step cover 2 and is connected to the car heater in the driver's seat. 2 A hot water hose (not shown; see a in FIG. 3) is passed through the inside of the frame. The bottom wall 27 of the open step cover 2 is a place where a foot step is performed when the operator gets in and out of the driver's seat.
[0008]
  In order to protect the hose passing through the second through hole 22 of the lower back side wall 23 of the lower part of the open step cover 2, the front front surface 1 and the upper surface are appropriately spaced from the back side wall 23 of the open step cover 2 to the front side. A cover 1A formed in an inverted L-shape consisting of two surfaces of 11 is provided, whereby the recess of the open step cover 2 is closed, and a closed space is formed at the back of the open step cover 2. Reverse L A mounting hole 13 formed in each of two tongue pieces provided at intervals on the lower surface of the letter-shaped cover 1A, L In the center of the side of the letter-shaped cover 1A 1 By screwing the mounting bolt 4 into the mounting hole 13 formed at the location, the reverse L The letter-shaped cover 1 </ b> A is attached to the open step cover 2. With this configuration, as described above, the back portion of the open step cover 2 has a double structure and forms a closed space. The hot water hose is housed in this double-structured space, providing complete protection against damage from the outside, and the piping appearance also stands up close to the end, preventing it from being caught and damaged. Is guaranteed for a long time.
[0009]
  Vice versa L Character-shaped cover 1 The upper surface 11 of A is provided with a first through hole 12 of a hot water hose. Reverse L Character-shaped cover 1 The height of the upper surface 11 of A is matched with the height of the three inner side walls of the open step cover 2, that is, the rear side wall 23, the front side wall 25 in the traveling direction, and the upper end portion of the rear side wall 26 in the traveling direction, Since it is the same, step cover As a result, it has a clean appearance. The reverse L Character-shaped cover 1 The upper surface 11 of A and the upper surface 21 at the upper ends of the three inner walls of the open step cover 2 are both formed as flat surfaces.
