Abstract:
A hoist or hoisting device is configure to place a pallet on a roof without the need of a person on the roof. The hoist includes a deflector that moves between a first position and a second position and releases a strap from an open hook as the deflector moves from the first position. A release arm on the deflector contacts a portion of the strap to push the strap off the open hook after the pallet has contacted the roof. The hoist may then be raised and the strap be unthreaded and pulled upward through the pallet to leave the pallet installed on the roof.

Claim (Index 1):
A hoisting device for lifting and placing a pallet on a rooftop, the hoisting device comprising:\n a support member including a first end and a second end defining a longitudinal direction therebetween, a first major surface opposite a second major surface defining a transverse direction therebetween, and a top and a bottom defining a vertical direction therebetween; a hook connected to the support member adapted to connect with a first end of a strap; an anchor coupled to the support member adapted to connect with a second end of the strap; a deflector coupled to the support member configured to move between a first position and a second position, wherein the deflector passes the hook when moving from the first position and is adapted to release the first end of the strap from the hook after a load has been disposed at an intended location; and a forwardly biased portion of the deflector that translates in the transverse in response to the support member moving downwardly and the deflector moving from the first position while the load is supported by structure.
