  • Cable break-away safety device
    Patent number: 11840430
    Abstract: A cable break-away device for a rescue hoist connects a cable to a cable drum of the rescue hoist. The cable break-away device provides overload protection to the rescue hoist by disconnecting the cable from the cable drum when the loads transmitted through cable become excessive. The cable break-away device is configured to fracture, releasing the cable from the cable drum, when the loads experienced by the cable break-away device exceed a predetermined failure set point. As such, the cable break-away device forms a mechanical fuse connecting the cable to the cable drum.
