RAILING ARRANGEMENT FOR A LOADING PLATFORM OF A UTILITY VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18536213 titled 'RAILING ARRANGEMENT FOR A LOADING PLATFORM OF A UTILITY VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a railing arrangement for a loading platform of a utility vehicle that extends away from the loading opening, narrowing towards the distal end edge.
- The railing arrangement consists of two railing units fastened to the sides of the loading opening and the distal end edge of the platform.
- At least one railing unit is inclined towards the transverse direction, defining a walkable area that becomes narrower towards the distal end edge.
Key Features and Innovation
- Railing arrangement for a loading platform of a utility vehicle.
- Extends distally away from the loading opening.
- Consists of two railing units fastened to the sides of the loading opening and the distal end edge.
- At least one railing unit is inclined towards the transverse direction.
- Defines a walkable area that becomes narrower towards the distal end edge.
Potential Applications
The technology can be used in various utility vehicles and trucks with loading platforms to enhance safety and accessibility during loading and unloading operations.
Problems Solved
- Provides a secure railing arrangement for the loading platform.
- Ensures safety and accessibility for users during loading and unloading activities.
- Optimizes the use of space on the loading platform.
Benefits
- Improved safety for users on the loading platform.
- Enhanced accessibility for loading and unloading operations.
- Efficient use of space on the platform.
Commercial Applications
The technology can be applied in the manufacturing and design of utility vehicles, trucks, and other commercial vehicles with loading platforms to improve safety and efficiency in cargo handling operations.
Questions about Railing Arrangement for Loading Platform
What are the key features of the railing arrangement described in the patent application?
The key features include the extension away from the loading opening, the fastening of two railing units to the sides and distal end edge, and the narrowing of the walkable area towards the distal end edge.
How does the railing arrangement improve safety and accessibility on the loading platform?
The railing arrangement provides a secure structure for users to hold onto while on the platform, and the defined walkable area ensures a clear path for loading and unloading activities.
Original Abstract Submitted
The invention relates to a railing arrangement for a loading platform of a utility vehicle, which railing arrangement, in a state of use, extends distally away from a loading opening of the utility vehicle in a longitudinal direction, having two railing units, the proximal ends of which are fastenable to both sides of the loading opening in a transverse direction and the distal ends of which are fastenable in the region of a distal end edge of the loading platform, such that at least one railing unit is inclined toward the transverse direction in relation to the longitudinal direction and the two railing units define a walkable area that becomes narrower, in the transverse direction, toward the distal end edge.
