 B66B
ELEVATORS (funicular railbound systems with rigid ground-supported tracks and cable traction, e.g. cliff railways, B61B 9/00; arrangements of ammunition handlers in vessels B63G 3/00; paternoster-type hoists or lifts combined or associated with loading or unloading devices or apparatus B65G; braking or detent devices controlling normal movements of winding drums or barrels B66D; ship-lifting devices E02C; garages for many vehicles with mechanical means for lifting vehicles E04H 6/12; hoists for feeding ammunition or projectiles to launching apparatus or to loading mechanisms F41F 9/04; safety aspects of hoisting gun ammunition in preparation for immediate use F42B 41/04)
 B66B

Note(s)

In this sub-class, the term "elevator" includes lifts, e.g. for passengers, in, or associated with, buildings or other structures; rope, cable, or chain-operated hoists, e.g. mine cages; escalators and paternoster-type hoists or lifts, other than those which are combined or associated with loading or unloading devices or apparatus.


 B66C
CRANES; LOAD-ENGAGING ELEMENTS OR DEVICES FOR CRANES, CAPSTANS, WINCHES, OR TACKLES (rope, cable, or chain winding mechanisms, braking or detent devices therefor B66D; specially adapted for nuclear reactors G21)

 B66D
CAPSTANS; WINCHES; TACKLES, e.g. PULLEY BLOCKS; HOISTS (winding or unwinding ropes or cables for feeding or storage purposes B65H; rope or cable-winding or unwinding mechanisms for lifts B66B)
 B66D

Note(s)

This sub-class includes:

  1. rope, cable, or chain winding or unwinding mechanisms for moving all loads except lift cages, e.g. winches for dredges;
  2. braking or detent devices characterised by their application for retarding, or preventing rotary movement of, a winding drum or barrel.


 B66F
HOISTING, LIFTING, HAULING OR PUSHING, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR, e.g. DEVICES WHICH APPLY A LIFTING OR PUSHING FORCE DIRECTLY TO THE SURFACE OF A LOAD (off-shore platforms E02D 21/00; scaffolding combined with lifting devices E04G 1/22; lifting devices for sliding forms E04G 11/24; lifting of buildings E04G 23/06; shores or struts E04G 25/00; lifts or other hoisting devices on ladders E06C 7/12; props for mining E21D 15/00)
