A load sustaining device employing a cable for supporting a load. Improved guide means is provided through which the cable passes prior to winding on a spool to insure that the cable is wound in uniform layers. The guide means is defined by a slotted pivotal guide member which is frictionally held in contact with prior layers of cable wound on the spool so that bunching is obviated. To enhance the utility of the device, it is provided with a multiposition operating lever structure defined by an interengaged polygonal projection and star socket construction which is spring-held in engagement in a predetermined position selected therefor.
