  • Publication number: 20230117412
    Abstract: Slinging device with adjustment mechanism which has a separate cam carrier The invention relates to a slinging device (1) with a base part (2) and with a hoop part (6) which is attached to the base part (2) so as to be pivotable relative to the base part (2) about a pivot axis (4) which hoop part serves for the slinging of a slinging, load-securing, tensioning or lifting means (28). The slinging device (1) is equipped with an adjustment mechanism (40) which has at least one hoop deflection cam (46, 46a, 46b) and at least one brake probe (42) which, with the pivoting movement (8) of the hoop part (6) relative to the base part (2), passes across the hoop deflection cam at least in certain sections at at least one deflection position (47, 47a, 47b). The adjustment mechanism generates a deflection force (50) which increases with decreasing distance from the at least one deflection position and which is directed counter to the pivoting movement (8).

  • Patent number: 11607908
    Abstract: A hub for partially muscle-powered vehicles, including a hollow hub axle with a cylindrical inner through hole for the passage of a clamping axle, a hub shell rotatably supported relative to the hub axle by two hub bearings, a rotor rotatably supported relative to the hub axle, and a freewheel device with a hub-side freewheel component and a rotor-side freewheel component, each having axial engagement components for engagement with one another. The hub shell is rotatably supported relative to the hub axle in a rotor-side end region by a rotor-side hub bearing, and in an opposite end region of the hub shell by another hub bearing. The hub-side freewheel component is non-rotatably connected with the hub shell. The rotor-side freewheel component is non-rotatably connected with the rotor and is movable in the axial direction relative to the rotor and the hub shell between a freewheel position and an engagement position.

  • Patent number: 11186466
    Abstract: A lifting device includes a base part, a connecting part, and at least one shackle drop brake. The base part attaches to an object, such as a loading platform or a load. The connecting part serves to attach a sling, lifting, lashing or tensioning means and is pivotable about a swivel axis relative to the base part. The base part also has a bearing surface which defines an assembly plane. The shackle drop brake acts between the base part and the connecting part. The shackle drop brake has at least one holding point configured to hold a weight of the connecting part when the connecting part is in a swivel position that is angled with respect to a vertical axis extending from the assembly plane.

  • Publication number: 20210355987
    Abstract: The invention relates to an anchor device (1) with a base part (2) for attachment to an object (10), such as a load ora loading surface. The anchor device (1) also has a connecting part (6) which is held on the base part (2) and can be pivoted relative to the base part about a swivel axis (4). The base part (2) has a bearing surface (8) for contact with the object. The connecting part has an opening (12) for attaching a fastening, lifting, lashing or tensioning means. In order to increase the handling of the anchor device (1) and its operational safety, a snap mechanism (29), which has at least one snap position (30) along a pivoting movement (28) of the connecting part about the swivel axis, is provided in accordance with the invention. The snap mechanism generates a braking force (32) in the direction of the pivoting movement in front of the snap position which is reduced in the direction of the pivoting movement behind the snap position.

  • Patent number: 10988349
    Abstract: An anchor point (1) for e.g. lifting and/or lashing down an object (2) includes a base (4), which is configured for fixing to the object (2) such that it is rotatable about an axis of rotation (7). The anchor point (1) also includes a retainer bracket (3) held on two bearing points (5) on the base (4) such that it is tiltable about a tilt axis (11) relative to the base (4). In order to prevent the retainer bracket (3) from getting stuck when a force is applied thereto, which may lead to a sudden and jerky turnover of the retainer bracket or even to fracturing of the anchor point (1) and crashing of the load, the tilt axis (11) is movable relative to the base (4). Preferably, a motion link (25), for example, is provided on at least one bearing point (5).

  • Publication number: 20200055712
    Abstract: The invention refers to a lifting device (1) with a base part (2) for attachment to an object (4) such as a loading platform or a load. A connecting part (16) of the lifting device (1) serves to attach a sling, lifting, lashing or tensioning means and is pivotable about a swivel axis (20) relative to the base part (2). The base part (2) also has a bearing surface (6) which defines an assembly plane (8). In order to be able to handle the lifting device (1) more easily and safely, a shackle drop brake (24) according to the invention is provided which acts between the base part (2) and the connecting part (16). The shackle drop brake (24) has at least one holding point (26) at which the connecting part (16) is held in a pivoted position outside the vertical (28) to the assembly plane (8) at a distance from the assembly plane (8). The shackle drop brake (24) prevents the connecting part (16) from resting on the object (4). This makes the connecting part (16) easier for a user to grip and lift.
