Abstract
Provided in this disclosure is an adjustable mounting point for use with a hoist system, including a fixed bracket, a pivot bracket, and at least one mounting hole facilitating connection of an attachment to the mounting point. A fixation mechanism, a pivot mechanism, and adjustment mechanism may be included, and the adjustable mounting point may be configured to facilitate angular adjustment of the pivot bracket, relative to the fixed bracket, between a plurality of angles. The adjustable mounting point adjustment mechanism may be selectively positionable to adjust the angular position of the pivot bracket, relative to the fixed bracket, between the plurality of angles.
Claims20
An adjustable mounting point for use with a hoist system, comprising:
- a fixed bracket, disposed along the length of a hoist system subframe, having an inside surface, and fixedly connected to either of a first parallel subframe member or a second parallel subframe member;
- a pivot bracket, disposed adjacent to the fixed bracket, having an outside surface, and pivotally connected to the fixed bracket;
- at least one mounting hole disposed on the pivot bracket outside surface, which at least one mounting hole facilitates connection of an attachment assembly to the pivot bracket;
- at least one fixation hole, disposed on the fixed bracket inside surface;
- a fixation mechanism, which engages with the at least one fixation hole and the hoist subframe to fixedly connect the fixed bracket to the hoist subframe;
- at least one pivot hole, disposed on the fixed bracket, corresponding to and concentric with at least one pivot hole disposed on the pivot bracket;
- a pivot mechanism, which engages with the fixed bracket and the pivot bracket to pivotally connect the pivot bracket to the fixed bracket;
- at least one adjustment hole, disposed on the fixed bracket, corresponding to and concentric with at least one adjustment hole disposed on the pivot bracket;
- and
- an adjustment mechanism, which is configured to facilitate angular adjustment of the pivot bracket, relative to the fixed bracket, between a plurality of angles.
