A unitary hoist uses a single crank arm to control multiple tension lines via independent ratchet mechanisms.
A sliding hoist platform with a winch and sheave mechanism transfers loads between building floors.
Inclined contact surfaces on hub stops allow spring ends to slide, distributing cantilever loads across the root area to prevent local overloading.
A toothed pulley uses a nylon 6T and 11 copolymer matrix with flat glass fibers to resolve weight reduction versus dimensional stability trade-offs.
Relocating axial bearing points radially inward eliminates intermediate rings, reducing weight while maintaining strength through integral injection molding.
Nitrided gear surface layer with tempered martensite and retained austenite resists seizing in high slippage electric motor environments.
Locking bars and stabilizing feet secure sheave housings during reeving, preventing tipping and reducing manual handling effort.
