摘要： A load-handling gantry having a single, unitary, bridging beam, and leg, brace and mounting components supporting the beam with provision for adjustment of gantry span, height, and spread, while maintaining gantry mobility. The mounting components are adjustable to enable use of the gantry in a number of configurations including inboard, outboard, and combination leg bracing, and with freedom for use under cantilever conditions. In the preferred embodiment, a predetermined camber, or longitudinal splay angle, of the plane of each pair of legs is provided, to decrease movement between the gantry legs and the beam, in the direction lengthwise of the beam, when the gantry is under load, thereby stabilizing the gantry in that sense. The selected splay angle is maintained by apparatus which couples the leg bracing struts to the beam and to the legs. Any selected angle, under the various arrangements of leg bracing, may be had, and may be maintained, by such coupling apparatus, which provides alteration of the effective bracing strut length, without the necessity of actually substituting struts of different lengths. Lateral clearance between the beam, and the legs and bracing struts, is maintained in the various configurations, at a value such as to permit free movement of the leg and strut assemblies along the length of the beam, and also a measure of lateral flexibility of the gantry. All adjustments relative to the beam may be made through external frictional gripping apparatus, cooperable with a standard imperforate beam.

摘要： Leg structure for portable, height-adjustable gantries is disclosed having an upper, single vertical tubular post member telescopingly received within an open-ended sleeve formed by coupled aligned channel members of lower, break-apart sectional supporting framework. The channel members are supported and elevated by diagonal bracing members and struts giving a generally inverted-Y shaped configuration to the leg so that it can straddle objects and permitting the free, unobstructed downward passage of the post through the lower opening of the sleeve. A locking bolt passes through aligned holes in the post and channels to selectively hold their relative positions, with hand-operated winch means aiding the movement of the post. Post extension members are disclosed which can be added to the leg post while the gantry is assembled. The plate connection between the top of the post and a load-supporting I-beam is externally and internally braced by triangles and post weldment or casting insert elements, respectively. Alternative embodiments show plate and tubular spacer channel coupling arrangements, and solid post-to-frame and non-breakdown frame leg configurations.

摘要： Portable hoist or winch apparatus comprises such mechanism having a frame carrying a drum for a cable or other flexible member, and load-carrying means which includes first and second pulley block assemblies. A hook-bearing first assembly, in normal use, depends from a loop of cable extending from the drum back into securement with the winch frame; a second assembly is disposed in the cable rigging intermediate the drum and the first assembly. The first pulley block assembly has at least two pulleys; the second pulley block assembly has at least one pulley. The cable extends serially from the drum to a pulley of the first assembly, thence to the pulley of the second, back to the second pulley of the first assembly, and thence to the frame. Movement of the second assembly between a position in which it is coupled to the first assembly, and a position in which it is coupled to the winch frame, converts the rigging so that the ideal mechanical advantage of the apparatus is varied from a predetermined value to a value which is a multiple thereof.

摘要： A portable winch-hoist comprises a main supporting frame, with an anchor hook, and carrying a ratchet-driven cable drum and an actuating frame, or lever, which may in practice be generally U-shaped and may span the main frame and which is pivoted for swinging movements about the axis of the cable drum. Pawls carried by the main frame and by the lever are selectively cooperable with the drum ratchet to rotate, to hold, and to release, the drum, so as to reel, and to control the unreeling of, cable carried by the drum, in response to pivotal swinging of the lever.The cable is releasably retained on the drum, being wrapped thereon and passing through portions of the drum at two axially-spaced points, whereby sufficient turns of cable are retained on the drum to assure a capstan or snubbing effect, under all normal operating conditions, with an end portion of the cable arranged for set-screw securement to the drum, whereby cable replacement is simplified. The lever includes provision for attachment thereto of an operating handle, in any one of several positions, for facility and ease of operation, and to assure ample leverage under all conditions; and the handle has a safety link, bendable when the force applied to the handle exceeds a predetermined amount, and the handle also has within it a space adapted to house spare links. When the hoist is used with the cable looped or passing around a pulley of a pulley-block to form two lines, the cable end remote from the drum is releasably secured, by the cable-end-hook, to the main frame in a position which makes it possible to use a lighter construction for the main frame, for a given load capacity, and substantially reduces the minimum distance achievable between the anchor hook and the pulley-block-hook.
