Abstract: A rescue hoist including a cable drum assembly generally including a cable drum having a cable groove and a recess positioned at one end of the cable groove, a shear pin extending transverse across the recess, and a cable assembly including a cable routed along the cable groove and a cable hook mounted to one end of the cable. In use, to secure the cable assembly to the cable drum, the cable hook is received in the recess and hooked around the shear pin according to a predefined installation sequence. In use, to provide a cable release provision, the shear pin includes spaced reduced diameter sections positioned on opposing lateral sides of the cable hook configured to shear in response to a load on the cable exceeding a predefined threshold load value.

Abstract: A cable angle detection assembly is provided. The cable angle detection assembly may include a housing defining an axis configured to allow a cable to pass partially through the housing such that a first portion of the cable is aligned with the axis. The cable angle detection assembly may include a bracket rotatably disposed within the housing. The cable angle detection assembly may include a guide element mounted to the bracket configured to guide the cable, when in tension, to be wrapped partially therearound thereby allowing a fleet angle to be defined between the first portion of the cable and a second portion of the cable that extends tangentially away from the guide element.
