Patent ID: 7114872

Claim:
An omni-positional lifting fixture for wrenchiessly releasable assembly to a substrate, said omni-positional lifting fixture comprising: a shackle member pivotally attached to a rotationally mounted lift body; and a retainer element adapted to threadably attach said omni-positional lifting fixture to a substrate, said retainer element being torquably associated with a torque accepting member, said torque accepting member comprising axially extending lugs and said axially extending lugs being positioned to receive wrenchlessly applied torque from a bar positioned between and in direct contact with said axially extending lugs to threadably rotate said retainer element relative to said substrate, said rotationally mounted lift body being capable of swiveling substantially through 360 degrees without threadably rotating said retainer element relative to said substrate, said torque accepting member includes a transverse bore extending therethrough, and said retainer element includes a matching bore extending therethrough, said transverse and matching bores being adapted to receive therethrough a pin member, said pin member being adapted to secure said torque accepting member non-rotatably to said retainer element while said rotationally mounted lift body remains capable of swiveling substantially through 360 degrees without threadably rotating said retainer element relative to said substrate.
