Abstract: An electrical contact device has a first connector (1) having a surrounded base portion (3). Radially disposed within the base portion is a plurality of contact members (5) with at least a surface portion of the contact members being in electrical contact with the base portion through, at least in part, flexible, electrical conducting connections (6). Each contact member is in the form of a double-armed lever with a first arm (15) and a second arm (16) carrying the surface portion, and each contact member is pivotable about an intermediate portion (19) between the first arm and the second arm. A second connector (2) has an electrical conductive contact surface (26) and is receivable and movable in the first connector. The second connector is pressable against the first arm, such as to pivot the double-armed lever from an open position where the surface portion does not contact the conductive contact surface to a closed position where the surface portion does contact the conductive contact surface.

Abstract: An electronic transmitter element intended for use in connection with a lifting device in order to generate an electric signal corresponding to the load being handled. The transmitter element comprises a tensile link (1) to which strain gauges are fixedly attached, said tensile link being exerted to tensile stress corresponding to the load handled by the lifting device in order to generate an electric signal corresponding to said load. At least one safety link (3) is disposed in parallel with the tensile link, preferably two safety links on each side of the tensile link and is designed to absorb greater loads than the tensile link. In normal operation the tensile link will absorb the entire load acting on the transmitter element. However, the safety link will take over at least a portion of the load acting on the tensile link if the latter is ruptured or abnormally elongated.
