Abstract:
A method for monitoring a chain pulley block and a chain pulley block apparatus with an electric actuator motor (2) that is connected at the drive side to a transmission (7) across a sliding clutch (14). In order to achieve a safe operation of the chain pulley block, the speed of the transmission (7) is determined via a sensor (18), the determined speed of the transmission (7) is compared in a control device (19) to the operating speed of the actuator motor (2) as determined from rated duty of the actuator motor (2) and if a deviation is found between the speed of the transmission (7) and the operating speed, allowing for tolerances and any transmission ratio of the transmission (7), the actuator motor (2) is switched off.
Abstract:
A device for suspending a rail, such as a travel rail of an overhead conveyor or a hoisting machine, from a traversing gear or supporting structure includes a tension element secured by one end to the rail. A bolt passes through the tension element and is received by a fixing device that is secured to the rail. The tension element is at least partly recessed in the fixing device in the direction of suspension. In order to provide a secure device that has a long service life and a low structural height, the tension element is fastened to the bolt by a ball-shaped joint, such as a pivoting bearing.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a load hook with a hook fastened to a hook tackle that can be safely handled. A cover region is arranged at least partially between the hook tackle and the hook, such that the hook is covered starting at the outer contour of the hook tackle.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a suspended control device (20) which is suspended by means of a control line (1, 24) connected to a unit to be controlled (21). Said suspended control device is especially a control switch or a suspended push-button switch for controlling hoisting equipment, the control line (1, 24) comprising electrical lines (2) for transmitting control signals, and a traction relief element (22) which is supported at the top, on the unit (21), and used to absorb weight and tractive forces. The aim of the invention is to provide a suspended control device (20) whereby the length of the control line (1, 24) can be easily changed. To this end, a storage element for receiving and releasing a defined length of the electrical lines (2) is provided behind the region wherein the traction relief element (22) is supported, seen in the direction of the unit (21) from the suspended control device (20).
Abstract:
A suspension system for attaching a load-bearing member to a lifting mechanism of a hoisting apparatus for a person, in particular a handicapped person in sitting or recumbent disposition, includes a framework having at least three tow lines secured to the lifting mechanism and extending downwardly for attachment to the load-bearing member at points of securement positioned in front and behind a viewing direction of a person carried by the load-bearing member, thereby defining front and rear tow lines, wherein the front and rear tow lines are movable in opposition to one another in vertical direction.
Abstract:
A rope arrangement having carrying ropes guided downward in pairs at four corner points of an imaginary four-cornered shape at a carrying device. One of the carrying ropes extends from one of the corner points of one transverse side of the imaginary four-cornered shape and another of the carrying ropes extends from the other corner point of the same transverse side. The carrying ropes are at a spread angle relative to one another and in a plane extending parallel to the transverse side. Spaced fastening locations of the pairs of carrying ropes provided at an attachment device lie in at least one vertical plane which intersects the transverse sides transversely in the center. In order to achieve a damping of load oscillations in any direction, two carrying ropes are respectively fastened to the corner points and accordingly to the fastening locations of the carrying device and the planes associated with the pairs of carrying ropes are inclined relative to one another at an angle (.beta.) with respect to each transverse side.
Abstract:
A travelling mechanism for a rail-movable lifting device includes a carrier with running wheels which roll on a longitudinally extending running surface of a rail. A double lever is pivotally mounted on the carrier. A drivable friction wheel that is positionable on a longitudinally extending friction surface of the rail is rotatably mounted on the double lever. An opposing side of the double lever supports the lifting device, whereby the double lever presses the friction wheel against the friction surface of the rail by a force under the weight of the lifting device.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a running wheel for traveling units which are movable on rails, especially for traveling cranes. The running wheel includes an outer running ring, a resilient damping hub inserted in central opening of the running ring. The hub transmits torque received from a drive shaft to the running ring. The resilient damping hub effectively intercepts occurring torque peaks forward of the gear unit and drive shaft, by elastically deforming while maintaining a connection at the central opening of the running ring without play.
Abstract:
A running wheel block, including a housing having at least one connecting surface for connection to a supporting framework, and further having two opposing, detachable side walls, two inwardly directed rotary bearing holding hubs, arranged in the housing, rotary bearings mounted in the hubs, and a running wheel mounted in the rotary bearings so that a section of its running surface projects from the housing toward at least one side. Each of the holding hubs is arranged on one of the two opposing side walls of the housing. The housing further includes at least one spacing holder arranged between the opposing side walls. The spacing holder forms a connecting surface. The detachable side wall has centering members that, when the side wall is attached to the housing, determine the position of the holding hubs relative to the running wheel axis.
Abstract:
A lower block, in particular for lifting tackle, having laterally arranged, rotatably mounted pulleys and a load hook which is mounted rotatably about a vertical axis and a horizontal axis and is connected via a connecting element to the pulleys. In order to reduce the overall height and the work involved in assembly of the lower block without correspondingly reducing its load bearing capacity, journals are formed integral with the connecting element and are arranged at opposite lateral ends thereof for supporting the pulleys. The load hook is arranged and axially secured in a recess defined in and open toward the bottom of the connecting element.
