Abstract
Abstract A permanent magnet-type lifting device for lifting heavy steel articles or the like in which a magnetic assembly of ferrite magnets stacked to form a single unit between pole pieces of a magnetically permeable material is rotatably disposed between plural magnetic member magnetically isolated from one another. In a preferred embodiment, plural rotated assemblies are provided and are mechanically linked through a common rotation mechanism. The magnetic member have an attracting surface and an inclined portion extending toward the attracting portion.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
249 words
A permanent magnet type lifting device, comprising a plurality of magnetic members said plurality of magnetic members being isolated from one another by non-magnetic members, each pair of adjacent magnetic members defining with said isolating, non-magnetic members a plurality of vertically aligned internal circular openings, said plurality of magnetic members thereby defining a plurality of horizontally and vertically disposed internal circular openings, a plurality of permanent magnet assemblies corresponding to and rotatably disposed within said plurality of internal circular openings in such a manner as to be rotatably in contact with said magnetic members through pole pieces thereof, each of said permanent magnetic assembly comprising a plurality of plate-shaped permanent magnets disposed in parallel to form a single unit and two pole pieces made of a magnetically permeable material provided adjacent respective end faces of said one unit, said two pole pieces having their outer surfaces shaped so as to be complementary with the shape of the walls of said circular opening and the arrangement of said plate-shaped magnetics and said pole pieces being such that said plate-shaped magnetics do not slide against the walls of said circular openings, means for rotating said plurality of permanent magnet assemblies in such a manner than like magnetic poles thereof are confronted with each other through said magnetic members and a magnetic flux concentrating portion formed at the attracting surface of each magnetic member, said magnetic flux concentrating portion comprising an inclined portion formed at said attracting surface of each magnetic member.

A permanent magnet type lifting device, comprising a plurality of magnetic members said plurality of magnetic members being isolated from one another by non-magnetic members, each pair of adjacent magnetic members defining with said isolating, non-magnetic members a plurality of vertically aligned internal circular openings, said plurality of magnetic members thereby defining a plurality of horizontally and vertically disposed internal circular openings, a plurality of permanent magnet assemblies corresponding to and rotatably disposed within said plurality of internal circular openings in such a manner as to be rotatably in contact with said magnetic members through pole pieces thereof, each of said permanent magnetic assembly comprising a plurality of plate-shaped permanent magnets disposed in parallel to form a single unit and two pole pieces made of a magnetically permeable material provided adjacent respective end faces of said one unit, said two pole pieces having their outer surfaces shaped so as to be complementary with the shape of the walls of said circular opening and the arrangement of said plate-shaped magnetics and said pole pieces being such that said plate-shaped magnetics do not slide against the walls of said circular openings, means for rotating said plurality of permanent magnet assemblies in such a manner than like magnetic poles thereof are confronted with each other through said magnetic members and a magnetic flux concentrating portion formed at the attracting surface of each magnetic member, said magnetic flux concentrating portion comprising an inclined portion formed at said attracting surface of each magnetic member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein each said permanent magnet assembly comprises a plurality of ferrite magnets.
