ABSTRACT:
A multi-position fixture assembly comprising a captive body having a threaded end unitary with an enlarged end. The threaded end is adapted to threadably attach to an object to be lifted. The enlarged end of the captive body includes a swivel cavity and external hex head. The swivel cavity has a generally flat bottom and a generally cylindrical side wall. The hex head is easily engaged by a conventional wrench to torque the fixture to a workpiece. The cylindrical side wall of the swivel cavity includes an internally threaded portion which is opposed from the bottom. A hoist head with a flanged end and an opposed free end is assembled into the swivel cavity of the enlarged end of the captive body by means of an externally threaded retainer ring. The retainer does not bear on the flanged end so the flanged end is retained for free rotation inside the swivel cavity. Thusly retained, it is free to swivel through a 360 degree arc. A lifting loop is mounted to the free end of the hoist head. The enlarged end of the captive body generally includes a radially extending flange which bears against the surface of the workpiece to which the hoist ring is attached.
