Drywall Lift Loader

Abstract

This invention is a drywall lift loader to be attached to or incorporated into a conventional drywall lift. The lift provides the advantage of mechanically lifting a sheet of drywall standing on the fingers of the drywall lift loader, to the awaiting cradle of conventional drywall lift. The invention is comprised of components that collectively resemble a human arm with the shoulder mounted to the stem of a drywall lift, a shoulder hinge, an upper arm, elbow hinge, lower arm. wrist hinge and a fingered hand which, when lifted by means of a winch mounted onto the drywall lift stem above the loader shoulder and connected via winch belt to the loader hand, provides the ability to lift a sheet of standing drywall from the floor to the platform of a conventional drywall lift.

1 . The completed drywall lift loader whose arm contains it's extended fingers and is positioned forwardly on the floor to accept a centrally place vertical sheet of drywall to be hoisted by winch to the awaiting swivel-based flat deck that conforms to the rising angular sheet until it's winched journey upward over-balances the deck to lie flat in a locked position ready for its next upward journey by a secondary winch to prove it's one ability of mechanical hoisting a sheet of drywall from floor to its next location in wall or ceiling position. 
     
     
         2 . This apparatus is a drywall lift loader that is attached to or incorporated into a drywall/panel lift and will lift drywall from the floor to the awaiting drywall lift cradle. 
     
     
         3 . An apparatus, according to  claim 2 , is comprised of components that collectively are similar to a human arm with the shoulder mounted to the stem of a common drywall lift, hinged (as a shoulder joint) to an upper arm, hinged (as an elbow) to a lower arm hinged (as a wrist) to a fingered hand when lifted by means of a winch mounted above the shoulder and connected via belt to the hand, provides the ability to lift a sheet of standing drywall from the floor to the cradle/platform of a conventional drywall/panel lift.
