Abstract

The invention relates to a loading device, wherein the loading device comprises a gantry (6) and a platform (5) which is mounted on the gantry (6). A pylon (1) is arranged at a base point (7) on the platform (5). A jib extends out from the pylon (1). The pylon (1) can be rotatably connected to the platform (5). The platform (5) defines a vertical axis (8) which extends in the vertical direction and runs through the base point (7). The pylon (1) is curved in a region adjoining the platform (5) and intersects the vertical axis (8) at an angle (a). The invention further comprises a pylon (1) for a loading device.

First claim

1 . A loading device comprising:
a gantry; a platform which is mounted on the gantry; a pylon, wherein the pylon is arranged at a base point on the platform; a jib which extends out from the pylon; wherein the pylon can be rotatably connected to the platform, wherein the platform defines a vertical axis which extends in a vertical direction and runs through the base point; wherein the pylon is curved at least in a region adjoining the platform and intersects the vertical axis at an angle.

2 . The loading device according to claim 1 , wherein the pylon comprises a fork, a central middle piece and counterweights, wherein the fork is formed by two legs and a connecting bar, and the fork is curved.

3 . The loading device according to claim 2 , wherein the jib is arranged between the two legs of the pylon.

4 . The loading device according to claim 1 , wherein the jib is adjustable in height.

5 . The loading device according to claim 1 , wherein the angle is between 20° and 60°, preferably 30° and 50°, and particularly preferably 40° to 45°.

6 . The loading device according to claim 1 , wherein the center of gravity of the pylon is substantially above the base point or offset from the base point in a direction opposite the jib.

7 . The loading device according to claim 1 , wherein the pylon is curved in one direction.

8 . The loading device according to claim 1 , wherein the platform is rotatable about the vertical axis.

9 . The loading device according to claim 1 , wherein a section of the pylon remote from the base point is straight.

10 . The loading device according to claim 1 , wherein the pylon is curved over at least 10%, 20%, 25% or 50% of its longitudinal extent.

11 . The loading device according to claim 9 , wherein at least one counterweight is mounted on the pylon on the section remote from the base point.

12 . The loading device according to claim 1 , wherein the pylon is formed from a box-shaped steel construction.

13 . The loading device according to claim 1 , wherein product supply devices, in particular conveyor belts, are provided on the loading device.

14 . The loading device according to claim 1 , wherein the loading device is a mobile or stationary unloader or loader for ships or a crane.

15 . A pylon for a loading device,
wherein the pylon extends out from a base point and is at least partially curved, and wherein the pylon is curved in such a way that it intersects a vertical axis at an angle, and wherein the vertical axis extends through a base point in a vertical direction.
