ABSTRACT:
A material handling toy which can be used in three different modes--as a mobile crane, a highline carrier, or a highline hoist. It consists of: a base (20) (top of the toy's storage box) and a platform (21) (bottom of the toy's storage box) which are held in alignment by the bottom section of the mast (40); a rear drum (30) which controls the movement of the trolley (94) in the two highline modes and the height of the boom (72) in the crane mode; a hoist drum (35) which controls any hoisting action; a pair of blocks (62, 64) near the top of the mast, which guide the line out to the boom (crane mode) or to the trolley (94)(highline modes); a cleat plate (27) at the rear of the platform, which provides securing points for various lines; a trolley (94), suspended from the highline (92), to which can be attached a load (highline carrier mode) or the hoisting pulleys from the boom, so that an object can be lifted and moved from one point to another along the highline (highline hoist mode); an anchor block (86), located at a distance from the toy, anchors the far end of the highline and provides a pulley for the trolley line (102); a turnbuckle (88) for tightening the highline. The crane mode includes a take-apart spacer (26), which raises the platform off the base and allows the platform to pivot around the axis of the mast; and axles and wheels (24), which make the crane mobile.
