Vorrichtung nach irgendeinem der Ansprüche 1 bis 6, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Fluidtransfervorrichtung an einem Ausleger (12) aufgehängt ist, in Neigung schwenkbar über einen Auslegerträger (13) montiert ist, der im Azimut über eine feste Basis schwenkend montiert ist, wobei das Gitter von mehreren angelenkten Leitungssegmenten eine Folge von zwei angelenkten Rauten bildet, wovon sich zwei jeweilige Winkel durch den Scheitel gegenüberliegen, wobei die Zwischenleitungssegmente, welche diese zwei Winkel bilden an ihrem Schnittpunkt durch eine Anlenkung (22) fest verbunden sind, die durch einen ersten Satz von Kabeln und von Rollen mit einem ersten Satz (92) von freien Gleichgewichtsgegengewichten verbunden sind, die longitudinal längs des Auslegerträgers (13) bewegbar montiert sind, wogegen der Verbindungsträger (51) der Enden der unteren Segmente (20a, 20b) der deformierbaren Rauten an den Verbindungsabschnitten (24a, 24b), die dafür vorgesehen sind, mit dem Kopplungsmittel verbunden zu sein, durch einen zweiten Satz von Kabeln und von Rollen mit einem zweiten Satz (106) von Gleichgewichtsgegengewichten verbunden ist, der hydraulisch gesteuert wird und longitudinal über den Auslegerträger (13) bewegbar montiert ist.
  8. Vorrichtung nach den Ansprüchen 3 und 7, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass jeder Satz von Kabeln durch Umkehrrollen (86, 97, 90, 101) hindurchgeht, die mit einer Schwenkbewegung bewegbar an einem transversalen Träger (58) montiert sind, der an den Beinen (56) befestigt ist.
  9. Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 2 und einem der Ansprüche 7 und 8, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass eine Winde (43), auf der ein Zugkabel aufgerollt ist, das dafür vorgesehen ist, um zu ermöglichen, die Fluidtransfervorrichtung (16) auszustrecken, um sie in Verbindungsposition mit dem Kopplungsmittel (17) zu bringen, auf der Struktur für eine Wiederaufnahme von Gewichten (42) montiert ist.
  10. Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 9, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der zweite Satz von Ausgleichsgegengewichten hydraulisch mit Hilfe einer anderen Winde (108) gesteuert wird, wobei die zwei Winden angepasst sind, mit konstanter Geschwindigkeit und mit konstanter Spannung beim Ausstrecken und bei dem Zurückziehen der Fluidtransfervorrichtung (16) gesteuert zu werden.
