Patent number: 8757693Abstract: A hoisting device and method of making the same including a hoist body having an inwardly extending post pocket that includes an inwardly facing body groove extending about a post pocket axis. The hoist body further includes an access opening in communication with the body groove. The hoisting device further including a post having a post head that has an outwardly extending post groove configured to functionally align with the body groove of the body such that the two groove are in functional alignment with one another when in an assembled position. The access opening allowing a plurality of bearings to be directed into the bearing groove when the post is in assembled position within the bearing pocket. The hoist device further includes a plug to selectively close the access opening thereby maintaining the plurality of bearings in the bearing grooves.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Jergens, Inc.Inventors: Harry P. Fuller, Sean A. Stapulionis, Touby Khamphilapanyo, Darel R. Taylor

Publication number: 20120051835Abstract: A spindle for a releasable securing device having a ball that cooperates with the spindle, which is located in a shank of the releasable securing device, is disclosed. The spindle includes a tapered land region and a ball pocket region. The tapered land region is configured to selectively contact the ball of the associated releasable securing device urging the ball outwardly in a radial opening formed in the shank of the associated releasable securing device. The land region includes an external surface tapering toward a central axis and a distal end of the spindle. The ball extends beyond an outer surface of the shank when contacted by the exterior surface. The ball pocket region is spaced from the tapered land region toward a proximal end of the spindle.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2011Publication date: March 1, 2012Applicant: JERGENS, INC.Inventors: Darel R.
