[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of load transportation systems. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to adjusting and locking platform for load transportation system.

Background
[0002] Typically heavy machinery comprise varied diameters and the transportation of these heavy machinery to a loading platform/point requires trolleys. For example, to transport and install aero engines into wing of the air craft it may be required for trolleys capable of securely accommodating the same. To accommodate these varied diameter engines, specific trolleys exists. But the existing trolleys are restricted for transporting aero engines with specific diameter only and do not have the capability of adjusting the width depending on the diameter of the aero engines. Moreover, the existing trolleys suffer limitations associated with locking the movement of the trolley and also the movement of the parts that facilitate to securely engage with the engine for lifting and installing.

[0003] In the light of aforementioned discussion there exists a need for a transportation system that would ameliorate or overcome the above mentioned limitations.

The present disclosure is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or of being carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology used herein is for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.

[0015] The use of “including”, “comprising” or “having” and variations thereof herein is meant to encompass the items listed thereafter and equivalents thereof as well as additional items. The terms “a” and “an” herein do not denote a limitation of quantity, but rather denote the presence of at least one of the referenced item.

[0016] Referring to FIG. 1 is a diagram 100 depicting load transportation system and FIG. 2 is a diagram 200 depicting adjusting and locking platform for load transportation system, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The load transportation system here may be referred as a trolley used for transporting heavy loads, without limiting the scope of the disclosure.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 the adjusting and locking platform 200 employs a collapsible scissor arm mechanism for adjusting the width and locking the movement of the load transportation system and may be operated by multi spoke handle. The adjusting and locking platform 200 includes a pair of double rail 102a and 102b and an armed member 104. The double rails 102a and 102b bear the major load of the object placed. The object may include, but not limited to, aero engines of various diameters, rockets, boxes, barrels. The double rail 102a and 102b include tubular rails 107a and 107b, wherein the bottom portion of the tubular rails 107a and 107b secured with wheels 112a-112d. The wheels 112a-112d include locks 113a-113d respectively. The locks 113a-113d prevent the inadvertent movement of the load transportation system 100. Furthermore the tubular rails 107a and 107b further attachment means, for example tow bar connections 114a-114d (114a and 114d not visible) at the ends for enabling the transportation system 100 to be more flexible to use and user friendly handling.

[0018] The double rails 102a and 102b further include channeled provisions (example C channel) 109a and 109bwith first set of mating teeth 116 on the web, without limiting the scope of the disclosure the first set of mating teeth 116 for example may include squared teeth . The tubular rail 107a and the channeled provision 109a joined together with a gap in between for placement of the locking wheels 118a and 118b. Similarly, tubular rail 107b and the channeled provision 109b joined together with a gap in between for placement of the locking wheels 118c and 118d.

[0019] The armed member 104 includes extended arms 105a-105band the extended arms 105a-105bsecurely held together by a first hinge pin 106. The collapsible scissor arm mechanism is achieved by the means of the extended arms 105a-105b.

[0020] The adjusting and locking platform 200 further includes two pairs of slider bars, the first pair of slider bar constitutes slider bars 108a and 108b and the second pair of slider bar constitute slider bars 108c and 108d. The slider bars 108a-108d include a second hinge provision 110a- 110d (110b not visible) for securely engaging the extended arms 105a-105b respectively. The slider bars 108a-108d further include first set of mating teeth120, without limiting the scope of the disclosure the second set of mating teeth 120 for example may include squared teeth . Flanges 117a and 117b of the channeled provision 109a and the flanges 117c and 117d of the channeled provision 109b are configured to arrest the upward and downward movement of the slider bars 108a-108d.

[0021] Further as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the slider bars 108a-108d move in double rails 102a and 102b by means of a square headed pins 119a-119d (119a and 119b not visible). The square headed pins 119a-119d enters into the slider bars 108a-108d respectively and exits through the gap between the double rails 102a and 102b..

[0022] Considering an exemplary scenario of transporting an aeroplane engine using the transportation system 100. Initially the width of the transporting system has to be adjusted depending on the diameter of the aeroplane engine. The width can be adjusted by means of the extended arms 105a-105b. Then the locking wheels 118a-118d are rotated for enabling the first set of mating teeth 120 mate with the second set of mating teeth 116 by means of oblong slot 129. When the locking wheels are 118a-118d are rotated the square headpins 119a-119dwhich rests inside the slider bars 108a-108d will prevent rotating, while the threads in the other end of the square headpins 119a-119d will enable the wheels locking wheels 118a-118d to progress and engage the first set of mating teeth 120 and second set of mating teeth116 and achieve a positive locking.

[0023] According to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the movement of the one set of side arms may 105c and 105d may be jaw locked permanently by hinging and enable the movement of the second set of side arms 105a and 105b for adjusting the width of the platform.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the transportation system 100 further includes hydraulic piston cylinders 121a-121dfor lifting the engine including an inner cylinder 122 and an outer cylinder 123 with a height adjustable pin hole 124. The hydraulic piston cylinder 121a-121d enable height adjustment by means of height adjusting wheel 125a-125d for correcting the minor heights while lifting the engine. The transportation system 100 further includes loading points 126a-126d and slider rail 127
