Abstract: The present invention relates to a combined cable suspension device and cable carriage. To enable a cable suspension device (1) to be used also as a cable carriage, the suspension device has been provided with a rotatable cable support (2) which can be moved upwards in the device providing a rotatable support for the cable when the cable is moved out of contact with the cable abutment surfaces (3) in the suspension device. This type of device that incorporates a cable carriage facility enables a cable to be drawn and secured and released as required.

Abstract: A dual control for vehicular cranes comprises two separate control units with control levers cooperating in pairs, which levers are protected by casings (7, 7') consisting of pivotable shell parts (9, 9') which in a closed position enclose and protect the control levers and in an open position expose the levers. In the two casings (7, 7') are arranged analogous locking mechanisms (14, 14') which comprise locking means (15, 15') being movable between locking and releasing positions. The two locking mechanisms are coupled to a transmission (18) which in a neutral position permits that the one casing (7') is opened and that in connection therewith transfers the opening motion of the movable shell part (9) to the locking mechanism of the other casing (7) in order to secure its locking means (15) in the locking position and, thereby, make the opening of the other casing (7) impossible as soon as the first one (7') is opened.
