A control arrangement for a fluid pressure operated hoist has a load mounted handle assembly including tubular handle portion slidable on a support rod attached to the hoist cable, and a bracket fixed at one end to the handle and extending alongside and offset from said support rod. A three position spring centered valve is mounted to the bracket, with a pair of pins each engaging one end of a valve element and a respective fixed flange on the support rod allowing valve operation by movement of the handle to block, vent, or pressurize a hoist fluid chamber to hold, lower, or raise the load.

A drive mechanism for driving roller supported trolleys around a radiused track to the upper end of a gravity conveyor, in which one or more rotating members each have a spring-loaded element which is retracted as the member rotates across the top of a trolley and is spring extended into a recess in the top of the trolley to establish a driving contact. The trolley is then swept around the radiused track by rotation of the rotating member. The elements may comprise pivotally mounted inclined dogs which allow overrunning of the trolleys when impacted from the rear by succeeding trolleys. The trolleys may also be controllably lowered at the other end of the conveyor by rotation of a second powered rotary member having similar spring-loaded elements.

An air balancing hoist is described having an axially movable drum reel supported on a ball nut and screw with a piston defining a pressure chamber containing regulated air pressure acting on one end of the drum reel to counter the unwinding force of a load supported on a cable wound on the drum reel. A centrifugal brake retards drum rotation when there is a sudden release of the load tending to cause too rapid wind up of the cable by the regulated air pressure applied on the piston.

A balancer hoist has an electric servomotor driving irreversible gearing in turn driving a hoist chain drive. A float mode and a manual mode are provided using two independent load sensors for sensing the load weight and force applied to a control grip. A traversing control is produced by a tractor carriage rolling on tracks defined by bottom flanges of an overhead rail connected to a trolley also traveling on the rail and supported on upper hoist assembly. A load sensor interconnects the tractor carriage and upon hoist assembly to sense forces created by an operator pulling on the chain, which are used to control an electric motor on the tractor carriage driving a pinion gear engaged with a separately assembled gear rack held against the underside of one of the bottom flanges of the overhead rail by being attached to a series of vertical clamping plates which are each held against the side of the rail by threaded fasteners passed through each plate and received in a series of retainer blocks in a sideways facing T slot defined in either bottom flange to positively drive the carriage, trolley and upper hoist assembly along the rail. A stationary dual hoist system is also provided in which two hoist assemblies are interconnected by a chain and sprockets to provide synchronized operation.

Apparatus for handling hollow core rolls of different core diameters, by picking up a roll disposed with its axis vertical, relating the same to a horizontal position, and sliding it onto a horizontally extending spindle. A stepped diameter holder having sets of gripper elements is supported on an angled arm driven by a rotary actuator. After insertion of the stepped diameter into a roll core and outward movement of the gripper elements, the core can be moved to a horizontal orientation by oscillation of the actuator. The stepped diameter holder has a ball locking assembly which is inserted into a receptacle attached to the projecting end of the spindle. After full insertion sensed by blockage of air flow out of a hole in the end of an actuator rod caused by contact with a compressible insert, the actuator rod is moved axially to dock the spindle to the stepped holder by operation of the ball locking assembly and the gripper elements are released, allowing powered push off of the roll onto the spindle.

A gravity conveyor has a train of spaced apart load carriers distributed around a closed circuit trackway. The trackway is inclined downwardly from a loading end to an unloading end. The carriers are connected together into a train by segments of chain, so that removal of a load at the unloading end causes advance of load carriers along a lower track of the trackway. The chains are connected to protruding portions of the carrier to be away from the trackway, avoiding any frictional drag of the chain.

A jib gantry is disclosed which has a connection between the upper end of a mast and a horizontally extending boom which allows tilting adjustment, which is secured in any adjusted position. The boom is hollow and slotted so as to be fixed at any point along the slot to the upper end of the mast. The lower end of the mast is rotatable within an upright pipe to be rotated to swing the boom through complete revolutions.

A tilt table is hinged along an unload side and is spring urged to swing up towards the unload side to cause parts on the table to shift against an endwall. Pin and slot connections between fixed side plates and gussets on the table structure cause a roller supported platform to which the table is hinged to shift away from the unload side, carrying the tilt table hinged side away so that as the tilt table swings up, clearance at the unload side with the upper edge of the endwall is maintained to avoid impingement into the workspace which would otherwise occur.

A linear guideway arrangement is provided by upper and lower guide bars held in a spaced apart parallel relationship by a series of locator blade pieces having end contours engaging the inside surfaces of the guide bars. Upper and lower rollers sets are mounted to a holder member, the rollers in each set engaging the upper and lower surfaces of the guidebars to provide low friction rolling support for a structure mounted to the holder member.

An interlock mechanism connects a movable trackway end-to-end to another trackway to allow rolling transfer of a crane trolley. The bridging trackway assembly is mounted on the movable trackway to be vertically movable to bridge a gap between the trackway ends. Blocking members prevent exit of a trolley from either trackway, which members are moved aside as the bridging trackway assembly descends. A secondary blocker prevents exit of a trolley if the lever system is operated when the trackway end is not positioned opposite the other trackway. Camming surfaces act to accurately align the ends as the bridging trackway assembly descends.
