Simple machine that consists of a sheave surrounded by a rope, and allows that by pulling one end it becomes easier to lift the weight it holds on the other. By association, the same sheave. It is also used for construction with sprockets and chains or tracks, provided they are used for lifting. By some mistake see pulley ("dish of Andalusian cuisine") .
