WORK PLATFORM WITH PROTECTION AGAINST SUSTAINED INVOLUNTARY OPERATION

摘要

A work platform (110) includes a floor structure (120) having a width dimension (W) and a depth dimension (D) and a safety rail (122) coupled with the floor structure. A control panel area (124) is cooperable with the safety rail and includes a sensor support bar (126) having a top cross bar (128) extending along the width dimension and side bars (130) extending substantially perpendicularly from the top cross bar. Each of the side bars includes an upper section extending from the top cross bar inward in the depth dimension to a bent section, and a lower section extending from the bent section outward in the depth dimension to the safety rail. A platform switch (30) that is configured to trip upon an application of a predetermined force is attached to the sensor support bar by a switch bar (30) held by shear elements (136).
