Rocket Safety Detaching Hook
The Rocket Safety Detaching Hook fulfils a vital function in drum winding installations. Their purpose is to detach the winding rope from the conveyance in the event of an overwind, and to arrest and suspend the conveyance in the headframe. The device prevents injury to personnel and extensive damage to equip¬ment should an overwind occur. The hook can be reset to the normal closed position and released from the catch plate by a lowering shackle or links. The Rocket Safety Detaching Hook is the latest design in detaching hooks and has been proven in physical test to provide the highest resistance to a strike by a falling object onto the exposed striker horn. The detaching hook also contains the patented arcuate slot to prevent one sided opening of the detaching hook.
