Abstract (en)
[origin: US2009095860A1] A lift bracket (300) includes a topmost portion (304) having an opening (302) arranged for engagement with an engagement portion of a lifting apparatus. The topmost portion (304) is substantially flat and defines a first plane (A-A). A base portion (320) of the lift bracket (300) has at least one fastener opening (322) for fastening the base portion to the engine. The base portion (320) also lies in the first plane (A-A). A yield structure (305) is disposed between the topmost portion (304) and the base portion (320), and includes a mid-portion (312) that defines at least one second plane (B-B) that is spaced and parallel to the first plane (A-A). When a tensile force is applied to the topmost portion (304), the yielding structure (305) yields, the topmost portion displaces away from the base portion (320), and the second plane (B-B) displaces towards the first plane (A-A).
