A device for uniting a residue sheet pile and a main sheet pile into an aggregate sheet pile wherein a lowermost sheet of the residue sheet pile rests upon and uppermost sheet of the main sheet pile includes a displacement device having a drive; and a rake displaceable by the displacement device along a displacement path in a pile slide-in direction from a first to a second position and from the second to the first position in a direction opposite to the slide-in direction. The residue sheet pile is seated with its undermost sheet on the rake in the second position thereof, and the main sheet pile is in engagement with the rake from below with the uppermost sheet thereof, in one phase of the pile uniting process. The rake has traversed the displacement path in the direction from the second to the first position thereof, in a final phase of the pile uniting process. The rake is formed of lattice bars having respective free ends extending in the slide-in-direction, and the free bar ends have a cross-section reducing in height substantially constantly in the slide-in direction; the reduction in cross section of the free ends of the lattice bars being such that when the residue sheet pile becomes seated on the lattice bars, a lateral face of the residue sheet pile extending in the slide-in direction is simultaneously lowered onto a reduced cross section of the lattice bars.

Device for uniting a residue sheet pile and a main sheet pile

A device for uniting residual sheet pile and a main sheet pile into an aggregate pile, wherein a lowermost sheet of the residual sheet pile rests on an uppermost sheet of the main sheet pile, includes a pile-carrying plate having a horizontally oriented upper side whereon the residual sheet pile rests with its lowermost sheet prior to a performance of a pile uniting process, the pile-carrying plate having mutually parallel grooves formed on the upper side thereof, an auxiliary carrying device for temporarily carrying the residual sheet pile including an assembly of horizontally disposed and mutually parallel lattice bars fitting into respective cross sections of the grooves formed in said pile-carrying plate and combined into a rake, guide rails whereon said rake is mounted so as to be displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the lattice bars, a stop rail extending transversely to and being displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the lattice bars, the stop rail being formed with penetrations through which the lattice bars are capable of passing through the stop rail, an auxiliary carrying device having a frame, the guide rails and the stop rail being fixed components of the frame, the frame being mounted within the auxiliary carrying device so as to be displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the lattice bars and in a horizontal plane transverse to the longitudinal direction of the lattice bars.
