Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a lifting device to be used when poles, such as a mast for a sailing ship, a Christmas tree, a pole for supporting wires or the like, are either raised to a vertical position or laid down to a horizontal position, i.e. the lifting device may be used both when a pole is brought from a horizontal to a vertical position and when a pole is brought from a vertical to a horizontal position.The invention relates to a lifting device comprising a frame (1), at least one movable part (2, 2a, 2b, 2c) configured to have at least two positions, a first position where the movable part(s) alone or together with the frame (1) forms a closed loop and a second position where the movable part(s) alone or together with the frame (1) forms an open loop providing an opening allowing a pole to exit or enter into the loop. Further, the device comprises a closing mechanism (4) comprising means for attaching, fixing or connecting the closing mechanism (4) to the at least one movable part (2), and a release mechanism (3) comprising means for attaching, fixing or connecting the release mechanism (3) to the at least one movable part(s) (2) and means for activating the release mechanism (3) from a distance; and fastening means (10) fixing the lifting device to the pole at an operational position.Further, each movable part is made of one or more rigid pieces forming a non-flexible part and the closing mechanism (4) may comprise means for activating the closing mechanism (4) from a distance.
