GRIP DEVICE FOR A MOVABLE WHEEL MOUNTED OBJECT

摘要

An object (2) mounted on wheels (4) has a grip device (1) of the type wherein a free end (10) of a telescopically extensible supporting structure (8) carries an integral grip portion (9) substantially parallel to an axis of rotation (6) of the wheels (4); according to the invention, the grip portion (9) has first (11) and second (12) articulating means enabling the grip portion (9) to rotate, with respect to the supporting structure (8), about two distinct axes of rotation (13, 14) perpendicular to each other; and angular locking means (33, 34) for preventing rotation of the grip portion (9) with respect to the supporting structure (8), and ensuring firm but reversible connection of the grip portion (9) to the supporting structure (8) in a predetermined mutual position. A third articulating means (35) enables the grip portion (9) to translate along one of the axes of rotation (13).
