[0001] A trolley to move vertically rolled wallpapers and wallcoverings in the process of
gluing them to walls.
[0002] The object of the invention is a trolley to move vertically rolled wallpapers and
wallcoverings in the process of gluing them longitudinally to the walls.
[0003] The device and method of stretching and installing the flexible character panel is
known from the patent description
US 5878474. The device has a frame structure preferably placed on the front wall of the building,
i.e. on the wall on which the flexible panel is to be glued. The frame structure includes
a trolley with a vertically positioned spindle on which a roll of flexible panel is
placed. The spindle is equipped with a flange segment at the bottom and a top flange
at the top. The flange of the lower section is enlarged and supports the roll of the
flexible panel - wallpaper. The upper flange, with a smaller diameter, allows the
roll to be placed on the spindle and rotated around the spindle, thus unwinding and
stretching the flexible panel to glue it to the wall. The device is equipped with
components securing the trolley in the desired position along the frame structure,
while a part of the panel is stretched and glued to the wall. It also has mechanisms
for a member of the grip of the roll of the panel material and to prevent the handle
from turning when desired.
[0004] The device for applying the product in the form of a tape, roll, in a predetermined
position along an essentially vertical surface is known from the patent description
US 5865943 . The device has a unit in the form of a trolley supported on four wheels on which
a wallpapering head with a driving motor is mounted. The head contains a cylindrical
support for the wallpaper roll and a roller arrangement on which the wallpaper to
be glued moves during the process of gluing. The product with the tape can be applied
consistently and for an indefinite length based on preset positions and the wallpapering
head is mobile to track surface changes or waviness.
[0005] Another device that acts as an overlay tool for sheeted material is known from the
patent description
GB 2 394 446 A. This device is essentially designed for applying a rolled sheeted material to the
surface of a structure or vehicle, such as a truck, trailer or semi-trailer of a truck.
The device has a locating unit consisting of a supporting frame and wheels mounted
on a shaft situated horizontally on the width of the semi-trailer. Vertical spindles
which carry rolls of sheeted material are connected to the shaft. The sheet, which
is unrolled, is glued to the trailer surface. The spindles may have a coupling mechanism
that allows rotation with a given torque. The device can be equipped with base units
on wheels that support vertical spindles with rolls placed on them. The trolley to
be considered as representing the closest prior art is disclosed in the document
US 5,042,221.
[0006] The revealed solutions are principally designed to glue a longitudinal flexible panel
or tape on the walls of objects or walls of motor vehicles and semi-trailers. For
this reason, they contain an extensive structure enabling the installation and movement
of trolleys equipped with spindles with rolled panels directly on the walls on which
flexible panels are to be glued or on the structures permanently connected to these
walls.
[0007] The problem to be solved is the design of an easy to make and easy to use trolley
to move vertically rolled wallpapers and wallcoverings in the process of gluing them
to the internal surfaces of the walls of the rooms. The process of unrolling and gluing
the unrolled part of the wallpaper itself is to be carried out by persons performing
wallpapering with decorative wallpapers with a height of up to 320 cm. The trolley
is to be easily moved along the existing or prepared substrate along the wall to be
covered and the roll transported on the trolley is to be moved at the appropriate
height to prevent the formation of bends and folds.
[0008] This problem is solved by the trolley for moving vertically rolled wallpapers and
wallcoverings containing a plate base supported on wheels and a spindle vertically
set thereon formed by a composite tube and flange on which a roll of flexible wallpaper
is placed.
[0009] The trolley is characterized by the fact that the base has a shank rigidly seated
in a vertical position, on which the bottom bearing unit is slipped in its lower part
and on which the spindle pipe is seated, while the upper bearing unit is slipped in
the ring gap, between the inner pipe surface and the outer surface of the shank.
[0010] The shank in the lower part has a thread and a nut supporting the bottom bearing
ring screwed onto it, and the pipe has a locating ring seated on it in a non-slidable
way, which is in contact with the upper bearing ring of the lower bearing unit.
[0011] The nut has a threaded hole in which the locking pin pressed with the screw is present.
Turning the nut causes vertical displacement, along the shank, of the entire lower
bearing unit and simultaneously displacement of the pipe with the flange and the wallpaper
roll placed on the flange.
[0012] The upper bearing unit containing a sliding ring with a radial transverse bearing
seated in it is seated in the upper part of the shank. The sliding ring has a permanently
installed ear with a crossbar supporting itself in the recesses on the upper edge
of the pipe. Sliding fits are applied within the area of the upper bearing unit seating,
between the inner surface of the pipe and the outer surface of the sliding ring, and
between the inner surface of the radial radial transverse bearing and the outer surface
of the shank. The trolley is equipped with a pipe extension adapted to the dimensions
of the outer and inner diameter of the pipe seated on the shank. The extension has
at least one centering insert permanently mounted on the inner surface from one end.
The extension is used in case of high rolls of wallpaper.
[0013] The trolley according to the invention has a simple design, allowing a roll of wallpaper
to be placed at the desired height, which excludes the automatic folding of the rolled
up part of the wallpaper and this makes it easier to glue it to the wall. Re-adjustment
of the spindle flange height is very simple, requires unscrewing the screw, which
loosens the pressure of the locking pin and turning the nut. The unwinding itself
is very easy, because the wallpaper roll set on the spindle easily rotates together
with the spindle.
[0014] The object of the invention is presented in the embodiment in the drawing on which:
Fig.1 shows the trolley in side view,
Fig. 2 shows the trolley in a top view,
Fig.3 shows the longitudinal section through the spindle and the base along the line
A-A marked on Fig.2,
Fig.4 shows a detail of the suspension of the upper bearing unit ear in the direction
of arrow B marked on Fig.3,
Fig. 5 shows the extension in the longitudinal half-section,
Fig. 6 shows the extension in view from the side to be mounted on the spindle pipe.
Embodiment.
[0015] The trolley for moving vertically rolled wallpapers and wallcoverings in the process
of gluing them to the wall, contains a plate base 1 supported on four wheels 2 self-adjusting
with a block. Wheels 2 are fixed to the plate base 1 by means of brackets 22 fixed,
in turn, to the vertical front posts 23 and the vertical rear posts 24. Attaching
the supports 22 allows them to be moved vertically to the 23 and 24 posts and locked
in that place. The 23 front and 24 rear vertical posts are fixed to the side shelves
25 of the base plate 1. This attachment also allows vertical movement and locking
of the mutually attachable components in this position. The base plate 1 has the spindle
3 seated vertically thereon formed by a pipe 4 and flange 5, which are joined together,
on which a roll of flexible wallpaper is placed. Vertical rear posts 24 have a clipping
crosspiece 30 used for manual moving of the trolley.
[0016] The base 1 has a shank 6 rigidly seated in a vertical position, which is inserted
into the hole in the base I with its lower end and additionally supported laterally
with ribs 26, where these elements are connected to each other by welding. The lower
bearing unit 7 made of the bearing 11 and the supporting nut 10 is slid onto shank
6 in the lower part with thread 9. In the nut 19 has a threaded hole in which the
locking pin 13 is pressed against it with the screw 14. The upper bearing ring 11
is in contact with the retaining ring 12, which is seated in a non-sliding manner
in the pipe 4 using pins 27.
[0017] The Pipe 4 of the spindle 3 is seated on the lower bearing unit 7, after which the
upper bearing assembly 8 is inserted into the ring gap between the inner surface of
the pipe 4 and the outer surface of the shank 6, in its upper part, consisting of
a sliding ring 15 with radial transverse bearing 16 embedded in it, whereby this sliding
ring 15 has a permanently installed eye 17 with a crossbar 18 supported in recesses
19 on the upper edge of the pipe 4. Within the upper bearing unit seating area, sliding
fits are applied between the inner surface of the pipe 4 and the outer surface of
the sliding ring 15 and between the inner surface of the radial transverse bearing
16 and the outer surface of shank 6.
[0018] Adjusting the height setting of the flange 5 of the spindle 3 is based on turning
the pipe 4 into the position when the face of the screw 14 appears in the hole 28
in the wall of pipe 4. By unscrewing this bolt 14 with a suitable wrench, the locking
pin 13 is relieved and the lock nut 10 is released. By turning the nut 10 with the
inserted wrench, the flange 5 is raised or lowered. At the set desired flange position
height, after tightening the bolt 14, nut 10 is locked.
[0019] The trolley is equipped with an extension 20 adjusted by the dimensions of the outer
and inner diameter to the pipe 4, which has two inserts 21 permanently installed on
the inner surface of one end. Permanent installation consists in soldering the connected
components through soldering holes 29. Extension 20 is placed on pipe 4 using a roll
of wallpaper of high height. Extension 20 pushed on pipe 4 turns simultaneously with
it and the wallpaper roll placed on it.
