(This photo shows a "part" of a mystery object from my life. The challenge? Guess what the object is and the function of the object.

---

If you can, post in Spanish and English, and, if clues are needed I will post them "along the way" so keep your eyes "peeled". And, a new rule for my game friends - you can post "multiple times" of course but please - one guess per post! That gives everyone "present" a chance to have a "stab at it" and makes it easier for me to follow the thread and the answers. Thanks everyone

Este objeto misterioso es muy pesado. Creo que pesa más de dos toneladas (métricas)

Answer 1

Cherry picker is the nick name.

Used by electricians as well

Change street lights, too.

"aerial lift bucket"

Cubo de seguridad del carro

¿Sabes qué Lateto? Si tienes razon. Mi objeto misterioso es una "plataforma elevadora" (cherry picker). Explicaré muy pronto. (Check out my last post everyone!) - nonombre, Aug 13, 2010

Answer 2

Window washers' lift?

Rev...so close...but not quite what I was after... - nonombre, Aug 13, 2010

Can certainly be used for that, should get voted. - LateToDinner, Aug 13, 2010

As we say here - close but no cigar! ;) - revmaf, Aug 13, 2010

I'd be happy to send you a cigar ... you don't know how relieved I was that it wasn't an elevator! - LateToDinner, Aug 13, 2010

thanks, late - maybe it's better not to have a cigar since I don't like them ;)- - revmaf, Aug 14, 2010

Answer 3

Bien hecho Lateto.

Yes my mystery object is a "cherry-picker". (plataforma elevadora) I saw this one on the way to the station one morning and thought to myself - 'Well there's a mystery object if ever there was one!' (Threw my pack down and started taking photos!)

Handsome don't you think?

Everyone - thanks for joining in - I'll be back in a few hours with MO number 50! - nonombre, Aug 13, 2010

Thanks. That was fun! - 192flat, Aug 13, 2010

Answer 4

Un reposito para correo.

A mailbox.

I think you might be right. - fontanero, Aug 13, 2010

Hola Joe - no, mi OM no es un reposito para correo. - nonombre, Aug 13, 2010

Answer 5

A construction site elevator.

I think the Rev got me while I was looking for a picture. I have to stop that!

Lateto - como Rev - vas por el buen camino..guiño guiño :o. Y por cierto Lateto - gran foto :o - nonombre, Aug 13, 2010

Answer 6

Se trata de un camión de la basura que viene alrededor de una vez por semana para recolectar la basura.

It is a garbage truck that comes around once weekly to collect the trash.

Oh, look! It's Compactadores de basura con ruedas! - LateToDinner, Aug 13, 2010

We call that a dustcart, or a bin lorry. - fontanero, Aug 13, 2010

Hola Sagiia - gran foto Saagiia, pero no, mi OM no tiene nada que ver con las basura. - nonombre, Aug 13, 2010

Tried to find it in Ojibwe. Way too complicated for my puny brain ... gave up. Sorry, Sagiia. - LateToDinner, Aug 13, 2010

That would probably be an incredibly long word in ojibwe. Ojibwe is much simpler when you stick with things in the natural world or useful material in the traditional way of life. Modern contraptions have very long names. - sagiia, Aug 13, 2010

Answer 7

Trash compactor

Compactadores de basura

Hi Annie... bye Annie... its 1 AM ...hope this is stll up 5 hrs from now. - LateToDinner, Aug 13, 2010

Great minds think alike. - fontanero, Aug 13, 2010

Hola Lateto - buen intento - pero su respuesta no es correcta. Y no te preocupes Lateto - tengo más OMs en la manga :o - nonombre, Aug 13, 2010

(Para el fin de semana :o ) - nonombre, Aug 13, 2010

Y Fontanero - las grandes mentes piensan igual - si, estoy de acuerdo :o - nonombre, Aug 13, 2010

Not that great, we were wrong. - fontanero, Aug 13, 2010

Or ... Great minds! If they are so great, what are they doing in the trash!?! - LateToDinner, Aug 13, 2010

When you dropped to that level, you found me waiting. - fontanero, Aug 13, 2010

I've come back to this 3 times now, I just don't have a response to that. Don't tell Gekko you caught me speechless! - LateToDinner, Aug 13, 2010

Answer 8

OK, I'll try again. A shark cage for divers?

Rev - muy creativa pero no, mi OM no tiene nada que ver con los animales :( - nonombre, Aug 13, 2010

Answer 9

A crane?

Casi - pero no "exactamente" ed - otra vez vas por el buen camino..pero necesito más información. :o - nonombre, Aug 13, 2010

Answer 10

If it's not quite an elevator... maybe some sort of pulley system, maybe to raise and lower equipment at a construction site?

Si no es una ascensor... una polea para levantar y bajar el equipaje en una obra?

(corrections appreciated!)

Can't quite picture in my mind what it would look like, but this is all I could think of from the clues :-) - schemmn, Aug 13, 2010

Hola Schemmn - vas por el buen camino Schemn - estoy buscando un "nombre específico" - daré otra pista muy pronto schemmn :o - nonombre, Aug 13, 2010

Answer 11

How about a "dumb waiter". No idea what they are called in Spain or USA ( or Australia Annie ). A small lift ( elevator ) to move items, not persons. Most commonly food etc between floors in restaurants.

Ascensor doméstico.

In the US they are also called dumb waiters. They were invented by Thomas Jefferson. - sagiia, Aug 13, 2010

Fontanero mi OM no es un ascensor doméstico - pero vas por el buen camino con "ascensor"..... - nonombre, Aug 13, 2010

Answer 12

The cash register at the donut shop where they installed a new antitheft device.

La caja registradora en la tienda de donuts donde instalaron un nuevo dispositivo antirrobo

Search Results Doughnut Thief Spared 30 Years, Receives Five-Year Suspended

You're up early. - fontanero, Aug 13, 2010

Just til the aspirin calms the leg cramps, amigo. - LateToDinner, Aug 13, 2010

No mi OM no es una caja registradora Lateto. Daré otra pista muy pronto :o - nonombre, Aug 13, 2010

Answer 13

Hi Annie,

I'd like to open with a rubbish ( trash ) compactor.

Compactar de basura.

Hola otra vez Fontanero pero no, mi OM no tiene nada que ver con la basura :( - nonombre, Aug 13, 2010

Y Fontanero "open with" - me gusta :o - nonombre, Aug 13, 2010

Ya me voy - os veré "mañana" :o - nonombre, Aug 13, 2010
