Patent number: 11932522Abstract: A rope guiding device used in connection with the rope hoist to guide a hoisting rope. The inventive rope guiding device of a rope hoist for guiding a hoisting rope on a rope drum which rope drum may be adapted to rotate in order to wind the hoisting rope around the rope drum or off the rope drum to hoist and lower a load adapted on the hoisting rope, the rope guiding device comprising at least one guiding element to guide the hoisting rope of the rope hoist, and a screw to move said at least one guiding element, is characterized in that wherein the rope guiding device is supported to the body of a trolley of the rope hoist by means of a support arrangement which support arrangement comprises first pivotings and second pivotings adapted to a substantially 90-degree angle in relation to said first pivotings.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Konecranes Global CorporationInventor: Jari Kaiturinmäki

Patent number: 11858782Abstract: A trolley of a rope crane, comprising a trolley body, a transverse load beam of the trolley, a hoisting mechanism and comprises a rope drum, a hoisting motor for driving the rope drum, and a gear for coupling the hoisting motor to the rope drum, whereby the gear has a primary side and a secondary side, and whereby the rope drum is located, in the vertical direction of the trolley, between the hoisting motor and load beam parallel to the load beam. The hoisting mechanism is supported by a three-point support to a main beam, whereby the first support point and second support point are adjacent to the secondary side of a gear, and whereby the third support point is formed by a support of the rope from end facing away from the gear to the load beam at a lateral distance from the first and second support point.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2019Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Konecranes Global CorporationInventors: Jari Kaiturinmäki, Simo Säkkinen

Patent number: 7152895Abstract: A system and method for controlling the telescopic movements of two telescopic beams moving inside a spreader frame, and the locking movements of the twistlocks in the telescopic beams. The telescopic movement of the telescopic beams are held in position at a desired place in relation to the frame with locking members. The system has a joint multi-rope lever system for performing the telescopic movement of the telescopic beams and the locking movements of the twistlocks. The system has an actuator operating the multi-rope lever system. The system also includes a control system supervising and controlling the actuator and the lever system.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2000Date of Patent: December 26, 2006Assignee: KCI Konecranes PlcInventors: Ovali Jussila, Jari Kaiturinmaki
