Abstract: A method of bearing a pivoting member on an axle which member is intended to transmit great forces between two other members. The pivoting member may constitute a load transmitting latch pivotable between an operative and inoperative position. The latch is mounted such that there is only a small clearance between a rear surface thereof and a complenetary surface of the associated holding member. The mounting permits shifting of the latch relative to its associated holding member such that the latch in the operative load carrying position is displaced in the longitudinal direction thereof through such a distance that the load transmitting direct contact engagement is obtained between the surfaces.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of correcting the height level of a concrete foundation or the like which is supported on a loose soil material. The bearing capacity of the soil material has been locally increased under the foundation by means of an oblong casing which is open at its opposite ends and has been driven down into the ground in order to isolate with respect to lateral movements in the soil masses a predetermined soil volume from the surrounding soil. The correction of the height level is carried out by injecting a moveable material mass beneath the foundation in the isolated soil at such a pressure that the foundation is raised.

Abstract: A method of lifting or lowering of an object by means of a plurality of climbing jacks capable to climb each along a climb rod. The method comprises the steps of staying the rods slidably by means of associated support structures, arranging each rod on a jack, which jacks are held separated from each other from a load point of view, and adjusting the height position of the climb rods in relation to each other by means of the respective jack in order to minimize the stresses in the object caused by the lifting operation.
