Abstract: The invention relates to an articulated ring for lifting loads, specifically through the attachment of a ring or rings to the load in such a way that the longitudinal axis of the ring and the direction of lifting form an angle of 0 to 90 degrees between them, comprising an attachment stud (13) designed to be assembled with one extremity bolted to the load being lifted and a ring (11, 12) moveable with respect to the stud (13) at the other extremity of the stud (13), the stud (13) being an anchor bolt having a head. A bushing (15) is provided with a flange (16) at one extremity, the flange extremity (16) being, in the assembled state, distant from the head of the anchor bolt (13). An attachment (14, 31) to attach the ring (11, 12) is provided and adapted to be pushed onto the bushing (15) and to attach the ring (11, 12) moveably to the bolt (13) and maintain it in position in cooperation with the flange (16) of the bushing (15).

Abstract: The lifting ring includes a shouldered spindle 1 on the threaded body 2 of which a base 3 is screwed and locked by glueing. A crossmember 4 rotates freely on the body 2, thus being held between the internal face 5 of the base 3 and the bottom 6 of the head 7 of the spindle 1. The branches 9,9' of a shackle 10 respectively rotate on the lateral bearing journals 8, 8' of the crossmember 4. The support of each branch 9, 9'on the associated bearing journal 8, 8' is provided by a retaining ring 11 with a circular section fully engaged in a throat with a semi-circular section fitted on the periphery of the bearing journal.
