Abstract: 10,088. Johan, A. April 28, 1908, [Convention date]. Transhipping ; slings. - Relates to endless aerial cableways for transhipping at sea, of the kind in which the tension of a pair of cables is maintained by a weight connected to a sliding platform carrying the cable-supporting sheaves, and consists in mounting these sheaves at opposite ends of a transverse beam which is adapted to slide and to swing in a guide under the control of ropes connected to a weight, the coal &c. to be transported being carried in sacks suspended in slings, which are attached to crossed arms engaging over the cable. At the stern of the collier or other vessel to be unloaded is arranged a frame 10 with longitudinal slots 11 forming guides for a cross-beam 12, which carries two pairs of pulleys 18, 19 for the conveyer cables. The beam 12 is provided with shoes 13 to allow it to slide and swing in the slots 11 ; it is restrained by a cable 14, which is attached at each side of the beam, and is passed around a roller 15 and attached to a suspended weight 16.. The vessel to be coaled carries, near its bows, a pair of frames 21, 26 supporting pulleys 23, 28, which are driven by chains from motors on the deck. The coaltransferring sacks are slung by a loop 38 secured by a conical pin to a rope 39, which is connected to the opposite levers of a pair of tongs, one of which has a hook 41 for engaging over the cable. When the sack reaches the receiving-vessel, the pins are withdrawn by operators standing on platforms 32, 33, the cables sliding through the tongs when these strike a stop. The tongs are returned by placing them on the upper run of the cable.
