A handheld device is adapted to ascend and descend a cable. The handheld device includes a motor that is mechanically coupled to a gearbox shaft. A drive shaft is connected to the gearbox shaft with shaft drive bearings. A first housing is mechanically coupled to the motor and surrounding the drive shaft. The housing further includes a top side, a bottom side and at least one other side therebetween. A top housing opening and a side housing opening are arranged on the first housing. A cinch brake assembly, connected to the first housing. The cable is fed through the first housing, around the drive shaft, out of the first housing and through the cinch brake assembly such that the cinch brake assembly prevents movement of the cable through the first housing.

The present disclosure describes various systems, devices, and methods configured to retrieve a fixed-wing aircraft from free flight using a flexible capture member

A slide-out room system includes a motor-driven sheath with wound cables for extending and retracting the slide-out room. The cables and the sheath are configured such that rotation of the sheath in one direction displaces the cables to extend the room and such that rotation of the sheath in an opposite direction displaces the cables to retract the room.

A fender davit device is disclosed. The fender davit device in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure includes a fender and a davit comprising a hauling line holding the fender and a winch configured to move the fender by winding or unwinding the hauling line. The fender davit device also includes a hauling line tension maintaining part configured to maintain a tension of the hauling line holding the fender to prevent the hauling line from breaking.

The present invention relates to a rope type elevating device, and more particularly, to a rope type elevating device that can mechanically and safely control the falling speed even if a breakage occurs in the brake being electrically controlled during the elevating and descending operation.

The rope type lifting device of the present invention comprising an electronic braking device for winding a conveying rope to move the rope up and down by using power, and a mechanical braking device for mechanically moving the conveying rope up and down, characterizes in that the mechanical braking device comprises: an unlocking lever being rotated by an external force within a predetermined rotation range; a connecting portion connected to the unlocking lever and moving forward by a predetermined amount in conjunction with the rotation of the unlocking lever; a rotating body that rotates by the amount of advancement of the connecting portion and adjusts a pressing force applied to the conveying rope; and a stopper for limiting the rotation range of the rotating body and supporting the pressing force applied to the rope by the rotating body.

A winching apparatus adapted for horizontal rotational mounting behind the chipping feed rollers on a chipping machine. It has a rotatable vertical stanchion, that is pivotally coupled to first end of a horizontal boom arm that may be vertically adjusted between its ends so as to raise or lower its second end. At the second end of the boom arm is a swivel mounted plate that houses a high speed continual line uptake winch that is thus adjustable for simultaneous alignment of the rope puller with the line in both the horizontal and vertical planes. The device is capable of compensating for a constantly changing directional pull as well as feeding the downed foliage directly into the chipper.

A descent assist device for powered ascenders is discussed herein. In one embodiment, the descent assist device can include a base plate having a first guide surface, a capstan peg, a second guide surface, and a retention loop extending from the first guide surface to the second guide surface configured to retain a rope on the descent assist device. Where the angle of wrapping of the rope around the first guide surface and the capstan peg is constant during use and the angle of wrapping of the rope around the second guide surface is adjustable by the user of the device to increase or decrease the frictional drag of the rope.

The present application relates to the technical field of lifting equipment, and provides a traction machine and a lifting equipment. The traction machine includes traction pulleys, traction ropes driven by the traction pulleys and fixed pulleys for changing directions of the traction ropes. The fixed pulley is provided with a sensor sensing member rotating with the fixed pulley, a traction machine sensor is arranged beside the fixed pulley; the traction machine sensor is configured to detect a rotation speed of the sensor sensing member, and send the rotation speed to a controller of the traction machine; the controller controls a rotation of the traction pulley according to detected data of the traction machine sensor. Since this kind of traction machine is provided with the sensor sensing member and the traction machine sensor, it is capable of detecting whether the traction machine has an abnormal operation, and stopping the traction machine immediately in an abnormal state.

The present disclosure presents a webbing take-up device, which comprises: a spool; a lock section that is restricted from rotating at a time of a vehicle emergency so as to limit rotation of the spool in the pull-out direction; a force limiter mechanism that permits rotation of the spool in the pull-out direction at a force limiter load or greater when rotation of the spool in the pull-out direction with respect to the lock section is being limited; a switching member that switches a load value of the force limiter load by switching between a rotation-restricted state and a rotation-enabled state; and a mounting member that includes a switching member mounting section at which the switching member is disposed, and a restriction section that is engaged with the switching member so as to restrict displacement of the switching member disposed at the switching member mounting section.
