MANUALLY OPERABLE LIFTING APPARATUS

摘要

In a lifting apparatus a connecting member is attached to a load receiving member and is fixed to a lifting rope on a lifting device. Manually operable switches are incorporated into the connecting member for controlling the lifting operation. Movement of a load can be carried out by manually moving the connecting member and, at the same time, operating the switches which control the lifting and lowering of the load. Handles can be formed on the connecting member or, if required in special instances, the connecting member can be operated over a distance bar attached to it.
