Abstract
A lifting mechanism or locking mechanism includes a housing, an axle attached to the housing, and an element including a cam surface mounted for rotation on the axle. The distance between the cam surface and the housing changes between a maximum clearance distance and a minimum clearance distance as the element rotates about the axle. The lifting mechanism also includes a line which can be moved between a first position over the cam surface and a second position.
