GUIDING DEVICE FOR ENDLESS ROPE

摘要

A guiding device for preventing displacement of an endless rope from its regular position on sheaves mounted on sheave frames located along the path of the rope is disclosed. The guiding device comprises an elongated member adapted to be pivotally mounted on the sheave frame and having a guide portion adapted to extend along the side of the rope for preventing displacement of the rope from its regular position on the sheave. The guide portion is adapted to be engaged by a load supporting rope attachment mounted on the rope and to be pivoted to a position out of the way of the rope attachment but to return to its original position after passage of the cable attachment.
