Box body with a liftable floor, in particular for vehicles for transporting animals

摘要

In a box body with a liftable floor (3), in particular for vehicles for transporting animals, a locking device which is independent of the lifting drive (5) holds the liftable floor (3) firmly in each desired position without auxiliary hydraulic or electrical force. Provided on the box body (1) are upright toothed rails (6) and support levers (7) which are springloaded on the liftable floor (3) and can be swivelled into the toothed rails (6). Next to each toothed rail (6), an adjustable deflection rail (16) is arranged which in one of its limit positions keeps the support lever (7) disengaged from the toothed rail (6). The deflection rail (16) which interacts with the respective support lever (7) by means of a sensor element (21) can be moved in a parallelogram-like manner without teeth and transversely to the toothed rails (6) or by means of two joint clips (17). Alternatively, the deflection rail can be constructed as a longitudinally movable toothed rail with the same tooth pitch as the fixed toothed rail. All the deflection rails can be actuated by means of a single actuation motor. <IMAGE>
