English term or phrase: humble hook
An accident in a mine shaft:
A parked locomotive started moving and plunged into the shaft. A cage carrying miners who had just completed their shift was on its way up. The locomotive landed on top of the cage and both fell to the bottom of the shaft. The locomotive crushed the cage killing all the miners.

The incident was not caused by a single cause but by a number of causes:
* Locomotive and the mancarriage were parked in a prohibited area
* The opening of both *shoulders of the humble hook*
* There was a miscount in the number of permitted persons in the cage.
etc....

Also, there were no walkie talkies that would work while in the cage, so one had no communication with the winding engine driver. But it was vital that the persons sitting on the cage could signal the winding engine driver to stop or start the cage and go up or down. I found the solution to the problem ingenious: it so happened that the winder drum and the winder motor had insulated bearings, which were earthed with a single copper earthing strap similarly – ****the hook attached to the winding cage (I think it is called a ‘humble hook') was not earthed to the cage***. Thus, what was done was this: the earthing strap was taken off the winding drum and motor and a 12-V bell connected in its place. The electrician and timberman then sat on top of the cage as it was lowered down the shaft.

Detaching hooks

13.25 (a) - a winding system in a vertical shaft, other than any such shaft in the course of being sunk in respect of which the end of the winding rope is fastened to the winding drum, is fitted with detaching hooks to detach from the winding rope any shaft conveyance overwound in the headgear and to support it;

(b) - the distance between the detaching device on the head frame and the matching portion on the shaft conveyance is at least three meters when the shaft conveyance is at its highest normal operating position.

Overwind protection system:
***The system makes use of an alternative detaching mechanism. The existing
detaching mechanism (“humble hook”)**** is activated by a new mechanism at the
beginning of sets of “Jack catches” placed in a specific area below the spectacle
plate. When the conveyance enters this area with “Jack catches” the detaching
mechanism detaches the cable from the conveyance. The conveyance is then
decelerated under gravity and when it stops, it is caught by the “Jack catches” to
prevent it from falling.
