Description.—This invention comprises a new method for lifting by taking advantage of the power required to tighten the carrying-rope from which the load is suspended, and by taking advantage of the leverage obtained by the load being near the fulcrum of the lever at the end of the said rope. The apparatus is suitable for lifting heavy weights and depositing them at any point along the line of rope. It is adapted for carrying weights across ravines or rivers or other spaces, also for landing and loading goods and passengers in open roadsteads, for use in building bridges and haystacks, and for working goods in stores or granaries, and for other similar purposes. The rope to carry the load may be of wire or other suitable material, and the apparatus used to work the invention consists of two derricks or other suitable erections, or natural elevations, with anchor-posts or other sufficient stays behind each derrick or elevation, with an additional anchor-post or stay close to the derrick on the side where the winch will work. A steam-engine or other suitable motive-power is required to stretch or lift the rope and load over the space. The quantity of apparatus required and the position of the same will vary with the weight of the load and the distance of the lift thereof, and with the nature of the work.

Claim.—The aforesaid method of lifting heavy weights.
