Abstract: A device raises and aligns a tiltable telescopic mast which is mounted on a transport vehicle and which can be raised by one or more lifting cylinders from a horizontal or almost horizontal transport position in a vertical plane parallel to the longitudinal axis of the transport vehicle up to a vertical position of the mast in this plane. Vertically adjustable support booms brace the telescopic mast on the ground in a vertical plane transverse to the longitudinal axis of the transport vehicle. The device includes a supporting frame for the telescopic mast and which is connected to the vehicle frame so as to be vertically adjustable three lifting elements, and four support booms that are mounted on the supporting frame and each of which can be lowered and swung out by actuating only one pull device.

Abstract: Apparatus for guiding and clamping an elongated flexible rope comprises a body supporting a plurality of rotatively mounted guide rollers aligned for guiding said rope in a plane. One of said guide rollers is mounted on said body adjacent a tension end of the rope and is selectively lockable against rotation. The other guide roller is mounted on said body adjacent a portion of the rope that is looped around for tension and is mounted for movement toward and away from said first guide roller so that rope passing around both guide rollers and extended between adjacent portions thereof may be pressed into a clamped position when the second guide roller is moved toward said first guide roller. The rope is released upon movement of the second roller in an opposite direction. Anchor means is provided for securing said body to pivot about a fixed point between a rope clamping position and a rope releasing position, and a hook element is provided for securing the body in the rope clamping position.
