摘要

Apparatus for gripping, raising, orienting and transporting helicopters in particular for the decks of ships provided with longitudinal rails (4) for guiding and constraining in an anti-tilting manner roller wheels (5a) supporting the apparatus itself consisting of a cross-piece (6), the longitudinal arm of which is movable in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis (X-X) of the ship in engagement with said rail, the transverse arm of said cross-piece having joined to it a U-shaped frame (7) which has parallel arms arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis (X-X) and is movable with respect to the cross-piece in a transverse direction with respect to the said axis (X-X) through the action of associated actuating means, the free ends of said arms having joined to them the means (10) for gripping the main wheels of the helicopter with associated orienting devices and means for raising the said ends once coupling and gripping of the wheels themselves has been performed.
