HANGER ATTACHED TO TRANSPORT MEANS WHICH IS EASILY HOOKED AND RELEASED AUTOMATICALLY

摘要

A device for hanging a load, particularly to an aircraft or landcraft transport, of the type comprising an eyelet of connection to the transport having an enlarged base with a central hole, a pin rotatably supported in the hole and extending downward into a first hook part and, a second hook part pivoted on the first about a pin with horizontal axis positioned in the lower end of the first hook part. A releasable lock retains the second hook part in an active position to form with the first part an essentially closed hook. A bracket supports a load lifting sling, and an electrical connection transmits electric signals from the hook to the bracket. According to the invention, the electrical connection comprises at least one contact rod oscillating between a rest position, in which it is housed in a seat formed in the enlarged base, and an active position, in which it bears on a respective contact surface provided on the bracket, this oscillating movement being controlled by a lever moving under the action of the bracket being carried into the hooking position, and a pressure spring associated with the lever to control the pressure with which the contact rod bears on the contact surface.
