    Abstract: 6677. Hamilton, L. March 18. Catch gear and like safety retaining- mechanism.-Safety suspending-apparatus for lifts &c. comprises pairs of clamping-levers 30 normally retained out of contact with the guides 1 by the tension of the hoisting-cable, but adapted, if this cable should break, to be forced into engagement with the guides by springs 21 acting through toggle-links 28. The springs are enclosed in a tube 19 extending across the top of the cage, and are held compressed by heads 25 on rods 23 which are forced inwards by levers 9 arranged one at each side of the cage and connected to each other by a cable 10. The hoisting-rope carries at its lower end a pulley which engages the cable 10 centrally and puts it under tension. The side-posts 3 of the cage are slotted to receive the levers 9, and the clamping-levers 30 are pivotally mounted on the side of the posts 3.
