摘要

The present invention is for a lifting and carrying device for gas bottles and the like which due to their shape and weight are difficult to lift and move without lifting equipment. The device shown in the figure includes two gripping means (1, 2), which are connected to each other by two identical linking systems (4, 5). In the far end from the gripping devices of the linking system there are two handles (6, 7). The link system which comprises torque links are so arranged that the gripping devices (1, 2) are displaced parallel relative to each other when the handles (6, 7) are moved in a direction at right angle to a plane through the gripping devices, i.e. the handles in practice are moved upwards or downwards in order to open or close respectively the gripping device.
