Abstract
A deflectable trunnion assembly that has a deflectable eye member or hook. The trunnion assembly is connectable to a pulley block of a hoist. The trunnion assembly has a trunnion block on which a deflectable spherical roller thrust bearing rides. The eye member rides on the spherical roller thrust bearing. The trunnion block is covered by a cover that contains a dome. The eye member ends in a pin that has a balled end. The balled end of the pin rotates within the dome, during deflection within the spherical roller thrust bearing of the trunnion assembly.
