Maneuvering seat for telescopic lifts
In a seat and a maneuvering cabin for telescopic lifts, the seat comprises means for translating, predisposed to translate the seat forwards and backwards along a determined translation direction, and means for rotating, predisposed to rotate the seat about a rotation axis. The maneuvering cabin comprises: a frame for containing and supporting the cabin; at least a transparent front surface which is solidly constrained to the frame, through which an operator can observe outside the cabin in a frontal direction; a roof comprising a transparent portion, which transparent portion is contiguous to the front surface, through which an operator can observe outside the maneuvering cabin in an upwards direction through a predetermined angle of vision, and a non-transparent reinforced portion which is contiguous to the transparent portion; a maneuvering seat located internally of the frame and positioned below the reinforced portion of the roof facing the front surface. The seat can be translated towards and away from the front surface.
1. A maneuvering seat for telescopic lifts, comprising means for translating, predisposed to translate the seat forwards and backwards along a determined translation direction, and means for rotating, predisposed to rotate the seat about a rotation axis wherein the rotation axis is horizontal and perpendicular to the translation direction and the means for translating and the means for rotating are predisposed to operate a movement of the seat between at least a first position thereof, in which the seat is at a posterior end of a run of the translation direction and is in a substantially erect configuration, and at least a second position, in which the seat is at a front end of the run of the translation direction, and is in a backwards-reclined configuration, the means for rotating comprising a pivot which is concentric of the rotation axis and at least an electromechanical actuator predisposed to rotate the seat about the pivot.
2. The seat of claim 1 , wherein the means for translating comprise straight guides and at least an electromechanical actuator predisposed to activate the seat to slide along the straight guides.
3. A maneuvering cabin for a telescopic lift, comprising: a frame for containing and supporting the cabin; at least a transparent front surface which is solidly constrained to the frame, through which an operator can observe outside the cabin in a frontal direction; a roof comprising a transparent portion, which transparent portion is contiguous to the front surface, through which an operator can observe outside the maneuvering cabin in an upwards direction through a predetermined angle of vision, and a non-transparent reinforced portion which is contiguous to the transparent portion; a maneuvering seat located internally of the frame and positioned below the reinforced portion of the roof; wherein the maneuvering seat comprises means for translating, predisposed to translate the seat forwards and backwards along a determined translation direction, and means for rotating, predisposed to rotate the seat about a rotation axis which is horizontal and perpendicular to the translation direction and wherein the maneuvering seat faces the front surface, and the means for translating are predisposed to translate the seat towards and away from the front surface, the means for translating and the means for rotating being predisposed to operate a movement of the seat between at least a first position thereof, in which the seat is at a posterior end of a run of the translation direction and is in a substantially erect configuration, and at least a second position, in which the seat is at a front end of the run of the translation direction, and is in a backwards-reclined configuration, the means for rotating comprising a pivot which is concentric of the rotation axis and at least an electromechanical actuator predisposed to rotate the seat about the pivot.
4. The cabin of claim 3 , wherein the at least a first position of the seat is a position of maximum distance between the seat and the front surface, and the at least a second position of the seat is a position of minimum distance between the seat and the front surface.
