This inventionrelatesto chain hoists, and
v has for its object the provision of a compact hoist, of a construction in which the-principal operating parts are enclosedin such a V F'Emanner as to avoidinterference therewith by the chain, cable or other device utilized to operate the same orbythe chain or cable customarily employed to sustain the load.
Another object of the 'invention is to prof vide a hoist structure which is exceptionally ing a series of intermediate gears so ar-' easy to operate, beingprovided withbearingsidesigned to reduce the frictional coeilicient to a'minimum. i

that the hoist may be utilized in installations having different requirements.
, The above objects and others are set forth and illustrated fully in the accompanying specification and drawings and are pointed out in the claims. In the drawings,
Fig. 1 is a view in elevation of a chain hoist in the construction of which my improvements are embodied.

range this intermediate gearing so that they are readily accessible upon removal of one of the side members, and can be easily removed, cleaned, or changed, their relative positions being such as to facilitate substitution of certain of the gears to effect changes of the speed ratio without interfering with the other gears of the series, thus adapting the hoist for use in the different kinds of service for which it may be utilized desirably.
For the above purpose I have provided a series of gears 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 and two gears 37, all mounted preferably upon the disk 1, and arranged to be exposed by removal of the disk 2, the gears meshing with each other in their numerical order, the gear 31 being actuated by the gear 22 on the worm-shaft, and the gears 37 serving to drive the internal gear 20 and rotate the Preferably two or more of the mostaccessible gears, as for example those occupying the positions indicated by the reference numerals 32 and 33, are a'dapted to serve as change-speed gears for which substitutionsmay be readily made,in well known fashion, without disturbing other g ar r I From the above description, it will readily be seen that the chain hoist forming the subject of this invention is powerful, compact, contains but few operating parts, and
