摘要

A telescopic spar (6) is connected by a deployable support (7) to longitudinal rails (4) on the floor (2) of the central path. The support extends horizontally along the length of the path at a predetermined height above the floor. A movable accessory (22) comprising an unfoldable shelf slides on the length of the spar in a single degree of translatory freedom. The shelf (22) has fixing bands on some of its regions and a connector (27) to the load to be moved (3). This piece has, in its upper part taking the load, attachments to a rail (5) fixed to the load. USE - Movement of loads by astronauts in a space station.
