Publication number: 20230117412Abstract: 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).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2021Publication date: April 20, 2023Inventors: Simon Haas, Michael Betzler
