Device for moving and attaching a component between two positions
First Claim
1. A device for moving and fixing a component between two positions, respectively of an operational position in which the component is attached to a structure, and a non-operational position underneath the operational position, in which the component is detached from the structure, the device comprising:
- a fixed chassis secured to ground and including vertical guide pins;
a moving chassis configured to move with respect to the fixed chassis and including vertical guide pins;
a lifting platform configured to bear the component from the operational position into the non-operational position and vice versa, the lifting platform being guided vertically by directly contacting the guide pins of the fixed chassis and the guide pins of the moving chassis;
locking and unlocking means for locking and unlocking the component onto and from the structure, and being attached to the lifting platform; and
a set of four cables associated with return pulleys, a first end of each of the cables is mounted on a winch configured to raise and lower the lifting platform between the non-operational position and the operational position, and a second end of each of the cables is attached to the lifting platform.

Abstract
A device for moving and attaching a component between an operating position in which the component is rigidly connected to a structure and a non-operating position below the operating position and in which the component is detached from the structure. The device includes: a frame rigidly secured to the ground and including vertical guiding columns; a lifting table for moving the component from the operating position to the non-operating position and vice versa, the lifting table being guided vertically along the guiding columns; a mechanism locking and unlocking the component on and outside the structure and rigidly connected to the lifting table; and an assembly of four cables associated with return pulleys, wherein one end of the cables is mounted to a winch that can raise and lower the lifting table between the non-operating position and the operating position, while the other cable end is rigidly connected to the lifting table.

5. A device for moving and fixing a battery between two positions, respectively being an operational position in which the battery is attached to a motor vehicle, and a non-operational position underneath the operational position, in which the battery is detached from the vehicle, the device comprising:
-
a fixed chassis secured to ground and including vertical guide pins; a moving chassis configured to move with respect to the fixed chassis and including vertical guide pins; a lifting platform configured to bear the battery from the operational position into the non-operational position and vice versa, the lifting platform being guided vertically by directly contacting the guide pins of the fixed chassis and the guide pins of the moving chassis; locking and unlocking means for locking and unlocking the battery onto and from the vehicle, and being attached to the lifting platform; and a set of four cables associated with return pulleys, a first end of each of the cables is mounted on a winch configured to raise and lower the lifting platform between the non-operational position and the operational position, and a second end of each of the cables is attached to the lifting platform. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
