COLLECTOR FOR SNOW-CLEARING INDICATOR STICKS AND METHOD OF COLLECTING SNOW-CLEARING INDICATOR STICKS

摘要

There is described a collector (1) for snow-clearing indicator sticks provided with a multi joint gripping arm (12) pivotal between an initial position substantially coincident with an operative direction of motion (F) of a vehicle (2) which is carrying the collector (1) for snow-clearing indicator sticks, and a position directed away from a carriageway (3) for the vehicle (2) and towards a storage element (13) for the snow-clearing indicator sticks (4) that are picked up. A front arm section (123) which includes a gripping device (124) is arranged to be pivoted, by the pivoting movement of the gripping arm (12) in a first sequence of movements, towards the carriageway (3) and then be pivoted back into its initial position. There is also described a method of collecting snow-clearing indicator sticks (4) by the use of the collector (1) for snow-clearing indicator sticks.
