A mounting/dismounting device for mounting/dismounting a connecting pin used for an end-to-end assembly of two frame elements includes a mounting/dismounting rod having a longitudinal axis, a head adapted to cooperate with a screwdriver, and a rod body having a proximal portion and a threaded distal portion. The device also includes a base supporting a nut and having an abutment portion shaped to bear on one of the two frame elements, the threaded distal portion being provided to be screwed into the nut, a proximal stop mounted freely in rotation on the proximal portion of the rod body, and a bushing mounted around the rod body between the nut and the proximal stop.

Crane

The present invention relates to a crane having a multiple-piece longitudinal structural part, in particular a tower or boom, whose pieces comprise corner arms or horizontal beams which can be placed next to one another and which can be releasably connected to one another by a mortise and tenon joint, wherein the mortise and tenon joint comprises a tongue which can be plugged into a tongue receiver and which can be fixed by means of at least one crossbar which can be inserted transversely to the plug-in direction of the tongue. In accordance with the invention, the crossbar of the mortise and tenon joint can be spread apart by a spreading device such that the pieces of the longitudinal structural part to be connected can be clamped to one another by spreading apart the crossbar.

CONNECTING DEVICE FOR SECURING TWO BEAMS TO EACH OTHER, A METHOD FOR USING THE CONNECTING DEVICE, AND TOWER INCLUDING THE CONNECTING DEVICE
20240183375 · 2024-06-06 · ·

The present invention relates to a connecting device (1) for securing two beams to each other end to end. The connecting device comprises a pin (2), a shaft (4), and at least one a splice element (6) provided with a first through hole (8) for receiving the shaft (4), and a second through hole (10) spaced apart from the first through hole (8) for receiving the pin (2). There is a gap between the pin (2) and the splice element (6) when the pin is inserted in the second through hole (10). The shaft (4) is rotatable with respect to splice element (6) about a rotational axis (A) when the shaft is inserted in the first through hole (8). The connecting device comprises an eccentric ring (16) arranged in the first through hole (8) so that the eccentric ring (16) is rotatable with respect to the first through hole (8). The eccentric ring (16) has an opening (18) for receiving the shaft (4), and the eccentric ring (16) is rotatable upon rotation of the shaft (4) when the shaft is inserted into the opening. The centre of the eccentric ring is offset from the rotational axis (A) of the shaft so that the splice element (6) is moved with respect to the pin (2) upon rotation of the shaft (4) and by that closes the gap on one side of the pin.
