Not applicable to this application.
Example embodiments in general relate to a structure installation system which maintains one or more walls in a desired position and orientation during installation of the one or more walls.
Any discussion of the related art throughout the specification should in no way be considered as an admission that such related art is widely known or forms part of common general knowledge in the field.
Structures such as walls are installed using a wide range of methods. One common method of wall installation involves bracing the wall with its lower end within a concrete fill area such as a trough dug into the ground surface. The wall is braced and supported by a wide range of different devices which often require a complicated set-up and removal process. It can be a complicated process to position the walls in a desired position and orientation prior to pouring and setting concrete.
It is also often different to orient and position the walls in a desired position and orientation during the process of pouring concrete and allowing the concrete to cure. Even when braced, the walls may shift. Further, bracing may be difficult and prone to error when installing such walls in uneven terrain or on a slope. In the past, such walls have been manually positioned and oriented, and then braced in position by supports such as posts or poles that are anchored to the ground surface and susceptible disruption (such as if bumped into).
An example embodiment is directed to a structure installation system. The structure installation system includes a vehicle which is adapted to traverse a ground surface. The vehicle includes an arm having an arm coupler to which a support is connected. One or more walls adapted to be installed in the ground surface may be removably connected to the support, such as by securing the walls to adjustable hangers that are removably connected to the support. By adjusting the positioning of the hangers, the orientation and position of the walls may be adjusted. Once put in position, the vehicle and support will retain the walls in the desired position and orientation while concrete is poured and allowed to cure to form a unitary structure such as a bollard wall.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, some of the embodiments of the structure installation system in order that the detailed description thereof may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional embodiments of the structure installation system that will be described hereinafter and that will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto. In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the structure installation system in detail, it is to be understood that the structure installation system is not limited in its application to the details of construction or to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The structure installation system is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of the description and should not be regarded as limiting.
Example embodiments will become more fully understood from the detailed description given herein below and the accompanying drawings, wherein like elements are represented by like reference characters, which are given by way of illustration only and thus are not limitative of the example embodiments herein.

In an exemplary embodiment shown in
The hangers 58 may be selectively positioned along the hanger frame 50 depending on the particular needs of each installation. Different ground surfaces 12 will require different arrangements of walls 70. By pivoting or rotating the support 30 with respect to the arm 21 of the vehicle 20, the walls 70 may be retained in a desired position or orientation regardless of the orientation of the vehicle 20, such as when the vehicle 20 is on uneven ground as shown in
The manner in which the walls 70 are connected to the support 30 may vary in different embodiments. The arm 21 may be manipulated so as to positioned the hangers 58 within the slots 76 of the wall 70, and then the arm 21 may be raised to engage the hangers 58 with the catch portion 74 of the walls 70. The walls 70 may then be lifted with the arm 21 and positioned in place.
Alternatively, a crane or other type of vehicle may support the walls 70 in an upright position and the arm 21 may be manipulated to insert the hangers 58 within the slots 76 of the walls 70. The support 30 may be moved by the vehicle 20 to connect to the walls 70, or the walls 70 may be moved onto the support 30.
If desired or necessary, the support 30 may be adjusted about one or more axes with respect to the arm 21 to allow for proper orientation and positioning of the walls 70 during installation.
Although not shown, an additional actuator could be utilized to effectuate the adjustment or pivoting about the roll axis. For example, a hydraulic actuator could be connected between the support 30 and the arm coupler 22 such that the support 30 may be adjusted with respect to the arm 21. When the actuator is extended or retracted, the support 30 will pivot about the pivot pin 44 of the coupler 40 such as shown in
