A rope guide for guiding a rope being wound onto, or unwound from, a drum includes a plurality of sectors, preferably three, which are connected together to form a ring adapted to surround the drum and turns of rope on the drum, and means for urging at least one of the sectors towards the drum. The sectors are provided with a number of seatings in each of which there is mounted a rotatable rope-engaging member, preferably a ball or a barrel-shaped roller. One of the sectors is provided with a slot for the entry of a rope into the guide, this slot having side walls which converge in the radially-inward direction. A hoist is claimed which incorporates the rope guide for guiding the rope of the hoist as it is wound onto or from the hoisting drum. |
