Industrial Truck

Abstract

The invention relates to an industrial truck having an operating console ( 14 ) and an adjustable mounting ( 20 ) for the operating console ( 14 ), the mounting ( 20 ) being fitted to a frame part ( 24 ) of the industrial truck by means of a joint arrangement ( 22 ) such that it can be pivoted about an inclination adjustment axis ( 26 ), so that it can be adjusted as desired into different pivoted positions in order to position the operating console ( 14 ) in various inclined settings, in addition at least one blockable gas spring ( 32 ) being provided between a frame part ( 24 ) of the industrial truck and the mounting ( 20 ) as a locking element for fixing the mounting ( 20 ) in a respective pivoted position, and this blockable gas spring ( 32 ) being provided with a triggering device ( 42 ) that can be operated in order to adjust the mounting ( 20 ) in order to release the gas spring ( 32 ) from its blocked state and to allow the gas spring ( 32 ) to engage in its blocked state.

1 . An industrial truck having an operating console ( 14 ) and a mounting ( 20 ) for the operating console  14 ) which can be adjusted into various positions in order to position the operating console ( 14 ), at least one blockable gas spring ( 32 ) being provided as a continuously adjustable locking element for fixing the respectively selected position of the mounting ( 20 ), and this blockable gas spring ( 32 ) being provided with a triggering device ( 42 ) that can be operated in order to adjust the mounting ( 20 ) in order to release the gas spring ( 32 ) from its blocked state and to allow the gas spring ( 32 ) to engage in its blocked state. 
   
   
       2 . The industrial truck as claimed in  claim 1 , the mounting ( 20 ) being fitted to a frame part ( 24 ) of the industrial truck by means of a joint arrangement ( 22 ) such that it can be pivoted about an inclination adjustment axis ( 26 ), so that it can be adjusted as desired into different pivoted positions in order to position the operating console ( 14 ) in various inclined settings, the blockable gas spring ( 32 ) being provided between a frame part ( 24 ) of the industrial truck and the mounting ( 20 ) as a locking element for fixing the mounting ( 20 ) in a respective pivoted position. 
   
   
       3 . The industrial truck as claimed in  claim 1 , the triggering device ( 42 ) having an electromagnetic triggering force generator ( 44 ) or a hydraulic triggering force generator or a pneumatic triggering force generator. 
   
   
       4 . The industrial truck as claimed in  claim 1 , it being possible for the mounting ( 20 ) to be adjusted lengthwise, having a base part ( 28 ) connected to the joint arrangement ( 22 ) and a console supporting part ( 30 ) adjustable telescopically in relation thereto for this purpose. 
   
   
       5 . The industrial truck as claimed in  claim 4 , the blockable gas spring ( 32 ) being set up as a locking element for fixing the respective length setting of the mounting ( 20 ). 
   
   
       6 . The industrial truck as claimed in  claim 4 , the blockable gas spring ( 32 ) being attached to the console supporting part ( 30 ) on the mounting side and serving as a locking element both for the respectively selected pivoted position and for the respectively selected length setting of the mounting. 
   
   
       7 . The industrial truck as claimed in  claim 4 , the blockable gas spring ( 32 ) being attached to the base part ( 28 ) on the mounting side. 
   
   
       8 . The industrial truck as claimed in  claim 4 , the mounting ( 20 ) having a device separate from the gas spring ( 32 ) in order to lock the mounting in a respective length setting. 
   
   
       9 . The industrial truck as claimed in  claim 8 , the device for locking the mounting ( 20 ) in a respective length setting comprising a clamping screw fixing mechanism ( 88 ,  100 ) or a separate blockable gas spring.
