Cable guide for hoisting devices

Arrangement for hoisting devices to keep a cable means substantially vertically stretched between a derrick means and a hoisting device for handling containers, characterized in that a set of brackets (12a, 12b, 12c) is extended between and glidably fixed to two opposed hoisting cords (2a, 4a) which extend between the hoisting device and the derrick bridle, that the brackets (12) have a ring (13a, 13b, 13c) approximately at their centre, through which ring the cable (10) is running, that the cable (10) is equipped with a set of elements (14a, 14b) fixed to the cable (10) at a distance from each other, the elements having an increasing diameter for each element from the top downwards and that the rings (13a, 13b, 13c) on the brackets (12a, 12b, 12c) being placed on top of each other have an increasing inner diameter for each bracket from the top downwards so that each ring (13a, 13b, 13c) one by one is stopping the passage of a predetermined element (14a, 14b) through a top of a predetermined corresponding ring, whereby each element (14) at a hoisting of the cable (10) is lifting its corresponding bracket (12).
