Abstract

The pulley-block balance comprises at least one loose pulley, a hollow coaxial support fitted with ball-bearings for supporting the pulley or pulleys, and a load-lifting hook. Coupling means between the hook and the support comprise a movable member which is capable of undergoing displacement at least at the point of application of the force arising from the load and is subjected to a restoring action in the direction opposite to the force. The movable member controls load-indicating means as a result of its displacement.
