  • Patent number: 6644909
    Abstract: A hanger for transportation of objects along a suspended runway includes an upper part constrained to run along a runway and a lower part which supports the load and is connected to the upper part through a raising and lowering system. Between the two parts is a stiffening structure against oscillations which comprises three stiffening members one of which has a parallelogram and is arranged on the median plane of the hanger while the other two are made with oscillating rods each of which is placed on one side of the central one. The oscillating rods are advantageously made up of pairs of triangles connected by an articulation to the vertex and hinged at the base in a direction transverse to the hanger.
