Handling/lifter device for a concrete slab or the like

A handling/lifter device for a bulky mass or slab of associated material such as concrete or the like whose portions are relatively movable during an initial stage but are fixed into an operatively rigid bulky mass or slab in a subsequent stage during which the mass or slab of material is to be handled, lifted, or otherwise manipulated, the handling/lifter device comprising, in combination:

• a housing body means which provides an operatively-significantly large hollow chamber means interiorly thereof;
• arm means extending outwardly from the housing body means to be operatively engaged by the associated material when in its operatively rigid stage, in a device-locking manner in which the device is operatively locked into the mass or slab of the associated material in a load-supporting nature;
• operatively flexible cable means;
• securing means for securing the cable means to the device by means which are not obstructive of the chamber means with respect to presence of the cable means;
• the cable means being of a length sufficiently long so as to provide a graspable component, graspable from above the outer end of the housing body means;
• and
• the cable means also being sufficiently operatively flexible so as to permit the entirety thereof to be stuffed into the chamber means during the initial stage of the associated material and again after any subsequent stage thereof after the cable means has been grasped in a handling or lifting or other manipulation of the bulky mass or slab.
