  • Publication number: 20240101400
    Abstract: A lifting gear has a load chain sprocket and a drive shaft. The drive shaft drives the load chain sprocket. The lifting gear has a motor having a motor shaft. The motor shaft and the drive shaft are coupled by a brake clutch system. The brake clutch system includes a clutch part and a brake hub on a brake thread of the drive shaft. The clutch part has dogs and the brake hub has pegs. A vane disk is between the clutch part and the brake hub. The vane disk has vane bodies on a coupling portion of the drive shaft. A pressure plate is positioned in a rotationally fixed manner on the drive shaft. Two friction disks are between the brake hub and the pressure plate, and a brake disk is between the two friction disks, and the brake disk is mounted in a rotationally fixed manner.

  • Publication number: 20240059533
    Abstract: A lever hoist including a housing, in which a load chain wheel and a drive shaft are rotatably mounted. A drive torque is transmittable to the drive shaft via a lever. A load chain is moveable via the load chain wheel. The ratchet wheel has an internal thread and is axially displaceable on a threaded portion of the drive shaft having a brake thread. A damping spring is on a drive-side portion of the drive shaft between the threaded portion and an outer stop. If the load chain is blocked, when the load no longer continues to slip in a sliding manner, the ratchet wheel is pushed against the pressure of the damping spring until the pawl body is displaced out of the drive teeth into the untoothed disengagement portion.

  • Publication number: 20220274813
    Abstract: A lever hoist includes a housing in which a load chain wheel and a driveshaft driving the load chain wheel are mounted, as well as a safety brake. A load chain is movable via the load chain wheel. The safety brake brings about an emergency braking in the event of excessive rotational speed of the driveshaft. The safety brake has a locking disc with teeth and a control disc with control cams. The locking disc and the control disc are rotatable in relation to one another in a limited manner. A catch hook is movable in a swivelling manner and has a latch contour and a sensing contour. The sensing contour rests on the control. In response to exceeding a defined rotational speed, the sensing contour lifts off the control disc. The latch contour rotates towards the locking disc and engages with a locking tooth of the locking disc.

  • Publication number: 20220242704
    Abstract: A lever hoist includes a housing in which a load chain wheel and a drive shaft driving the load chain wheel via a transmission are rotatably mounted, as well as a safety brake. A load chain is movable via the load chain wheel. The safety brake implements emergency braking in response to excessive rotational speed of the drive shaft. The safety brake includes a locking disc with teeth and a control disc with control cams. The locking disc and the control disc are rotatable in a limited manner. A catch hook is movable in a swivelling manner and has a latch contour at a front end and a sensing contour at a rear end. The sensing contour rests on the control disc. When a defined rotational speed is exceeded, the sensing contour lifts off the control disc. The latch contour engages with a locking tooth of the locking disc.

  • Patent number: 10252896
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lifting gear having a flexible drive and a traction drive movable by the flexible drive. The flexible drive can be actuated by a lever arm arranged to pivot, and in the region of the free end of the lever arm, a handle is connected to the lever arm by an articulated joint. The handle can be pivoted from a starting position into an operating position.

  • Patent number: 6527253
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lifting device with a housing having a drive wheel, a friction disk brake, a load wheel and a gear arranged sequentially in an axial direction inside the housing. The drive shaft extends through the friction disk brake and the load wheel. A torque is transmitted from the drive wheel to the load wheel. The drive wheel cannot move axially on the drive shaft, but can rotate over a limited range relative to the drive shaft. The drive wheel can rotate in a limited fashion relative to a brake disk, which is axially moveable on a threaded section of the drive shaft and can be pressed with the help of a friction disk against a pressure disk that is attached to the housing. The drive wheel forms a component of the friction disk brake.

  • Patent number: 6450482
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lifting device for raising, lowering and pulling loads. The lifting device includes a hand chain wheel which can be turned in both directions by a hand chain. The hand chain wheel is coupled to a load wheel, which moves a load chain and a load suspended thereon. The hand chain wheel is covered by a rotatably supported cover with chain guide openings. The cover is rotatably secured by a supporting metal sheet which is located on a side plate of the housing that accommodates the load chain wheel. A radially outwardly oriented guide disposed on the cover engages with a slide ring of the supporting metal sheet. The slide ring has a central recess for the cover.

  • Patent number: 5373956
    Abstract: The invention relates to a case, in particular a cable branching case for receiving and distributing cables, in particular light waveguides, for the telecommunication and for the low-voltage distribution. It is the object of the invention to provide a case of the type referred to hereinbefore, which has a modular design and is sufficiently sealed against the environment, by means of which an uncomplicated and service-friendly operation is guaranteed. For the solution of this object, the invention provides that the side walls of the case are formed of at least two box-type, opposed, L-shaped segments with a groove formed at the one longitudinal edge and a tongue formed at the other longitudinal edge, that the cover and the bottom element contain a groove and a tongue section for connection with the L-shaped segments, and that the L-shaped segments can be connected with the cover and bottom elements such that a movable door side and a fixed rear wall side are formed.
