<p>A lifting apparatus for use with a tank (1) for cleaning articles in a cleansing fluid, has a lever (38) capable of moving about a fulcrum (40) from a first position to a second position, a horizontally disposed support frame (12) for supporting articles to be cleaned and a cable and pulley system (20) which interconnects the lever (38) and the support frame (12). The cable and pulley system is formed and arranged so that when the lever (38) moves between the first position and the second position, the arcuate motion of the lever (38) about the fulcrum (40) is translated into a corresponding vertical motion of the support frame (12) which lowers the support frame from a first raised position to a second lowered position inside the tank (1) in a substantially horizontal orientation. A tank (1) including the lifting apparatus is also provided.</p> |
