PAYLOAD SUSPENSION SYSTEM WITH ARRESTER UNIT

摘要

A payload suspension system for facilitating three- dimensional movement of a suspended payload especially but not exclusively for aerial tethered/cable suspended robots, rescue systems and crane systems is provided. Keeping the main cables together by an arrester unit can increase the reachable area of a payload and therefore a larger place for positioning is available and less space is required for the suspending cables. A payload platform is suspended by main cables traversing through the arrester unit which keeps the main cables together. The arrester unit is connected to the payload platform by an anchoring cable.
