which an endless 'chain L is hung. It is also to iotatethev drums. The pinscontscting with the screw on both' sides will not:v exert any side pressure on it as is the case with ordinaryi worm gears. f Should the pins on'orie` side become worn or get broken those `where the Acrible winds. kept from rubbing or wearing agsins'tjthe'pins.

Instead of this, affingcr in ay lic-'formed on ihe islrch rod O, and beusd in thossme wey. The Chain being held ststionsryvby either of these iirsgers, or by other equivalent, can not run hack and let the reci-ptsclc run down ntil released.

The brackets D are provided with outwardly pro l jecting'lugs P to which are secured by bolts Vri.' or othervise gssrds or keepers Q, which are to cover at opposite sides, the groove ci the chain wheel K, and pre1 vent the chain rorn getting off the wheel. The outer circumference of the flanges E are preferably dished outwardly so thai the points of th pins I will not project farther in, than the eentralpart oi the ,flanges In this waydhecable will be central portions of the sides forming the drums are preenably rnade concave so as to lighten it, but may be msde solid if so preferred.l One of the sides of whichtlle drun E is composed is fitted with an opening R through which the end-of the cable F is passed to fasten it 'to the drum. V'lhe edges of this opening a're rounded so as to present no sharp icorners to injure the cable.- lIt is provided with s. re-

cess e surrounding the hub into which the end of the 'cable is coiled. -Y Also, with a. curved flange' joining the hiib with one side of the openingR. The groove e is also preferably .fitted with transverse ribs 1', The cable F '1s held in Vthe groove 'by means of s. plate q through which the bons am passed. The sides of the grooves are rounded back ss they approach the opening R so that the sable may be wound inl either direction without living to come in `Contact: with a sharp corner. TheV pins src set so as to lit evenly on each side of thevworm M and the two sides E", of which the hoisting drums are composed are preferably fitted with a tongue ond groove t which will prevent them ting shifted to one side or the other. 7

' The truck frames nre preferably msdeof two parts B 'arranged to f it cach other face to face, and are provided with semi-circular or scrivi-spherical recesses or cavities in their lower central parte which are adapted to `fit over necks D on the upper ends ofthe brackets D, and

to hold therein swivel heads on the upper ends of said necks.
