Abstract (en)

[origin: US5113972A] A scissor-type lifting device, for example for a work platform, with a scissor mechanism which has for one scissor axis 4 only two scissor arms a and b connected with each other so as to pivot about this scissor axis. The moments of torque that arise in the scissor arms produce prestresses in the mounts of the scissor axis and render the scissor mechanism free of play.
