  • Patent number: 5111751
    Abstract: Transport means are clamped to a movable rope (6) with a clamp capable of coupling. The clamp exhibits clamping jaws (4, 5), where one of the clamping jaws (5) can be pressed against the rope (6) based on the force of a spring (14). This clamping jaw (5) can be lifted off the rope (6) again with a spatially fixedly disposed connecting link. The movable clamping jaw (5) is formed as a two-arm lever, where the one arm of the two-arm lever forms the clamping jaw (5), and where the second arm (9) of the two-arm lever is loaded by a spring (14). An angle lever (10) is hinged at the two-arm lever (8) in such a way that the spring (14), furnishing the clamping force, is released upon opening of the clamp, as illustrated in FIG. 1.
