Abrégé

An apparatus for suspending a log comprises a cable having at one end a knob (7) to be hitched into a hitching body (8). The hitching body (8) which is provided for this purpose with a longitudinal opening (9) is pivoted to a swivel head (1, 3) between a closed position in the swivel head and a release position swiveled out of the swivel head. The swivel head (1, 3) has a sliding eye (2) through which the cable is slidingly guided. With a locking device the hitching body (8) is locked in the closed position. For actuating the locking device, an actuator is provided which is driven with a remote control. The longitudinal opening (9) of the hitching body has an enlargement (11) at its end facing away from the swivel pin (16) for hitching and unhitching the cable end (6) with the knob (7) in the closed position. Below the enlargement (11) a support (12) for the hitched knob (7) is provided. The locking device has a locking bolt (17) which engages a notch (18) in the hitching body (8). The locking bolt (17) is spring-loaded in the unlocking position and adapted to be stopped in the locking position by a catch (22).
