Abstract

ABSTRACT
Dorsal antifall rucksack. characterized in that it comprises:
- belt means to fix the rucksack (1) to a person able to endure in pulling down the weigh of a body of the person and rucksack with respective deceleration in falling for stopping the falling down;
- cable rolling/unrolling means (2'-2, 3) the extremity of the cable being endowed of hooking means similarly able to endure in pulling down the weigh of a body of the person and rucksack with respective deceleration in falling for stopping the falling down;
- braking means for unwinding control (4-14/5'-5-6-7) said cable in falling down.

Description

Z0015~9 . .

Dorsal an~ifall rucksack 3 The present invention relates to a dorsal antifall rucksack .
4 The innova~ion is particular useful as falling safety means for a trapped person in a 5 firing building, obliged ~o launch himself from an height in which the jump will 6 become a killing fall.
7 Safety devices of this type are not known in prior ar~.
8 Scope of lhe present invention is to realize an easy to use and prac~ical safe~y device, 9 for cheapening to earth in safe way from a certain height without assistance of ladders or parachute. .
., .
t 2 This and other scopes are reached with the claimed characteristics of the present 13 invention by means o~ a dorsal anti~all rucksack, characterized in that it comprises: -14 - belt means to fix the rucksack to a person able to endure in pulling down the weigh of 15 a body of the person and rucksack with respective deceleration in falling for stopping 1 6 the falling down;
17 - cable rolllng/unrolling means the extremity of the cable being endowed of hooking ~ ;
1 8 means similarly able to endure in pulling down the weigh of a body of the person and 19 rucksack with respective deceleration in falling for stopping the falling down;
2 0 - braking means for unwinding control said cable in falling down 21 In such way we obtain the safe advantage of assuring the control of the fall from a 2 2 certain height witho~Jt causing damages to the person that~let himself to fall down.
23 ~:
2 4 Advantageously said braking means for unwinding control said cable consists in 2 5 adjustable unwinding resistance means.
2 6 As much advantageously the braking means are manually operated and controlled by 27 handle branching means.
' ~''.", ~51~ 2 In Ihis way ~he ope;ator can regulate the falling speed in function of the proper weigh.
3 Advan~ageously ~he braking means are associa~ed ~o adjus~able spring con~rolled 4 decelera~ion means.
5 In ~his way even wi~hou~ ~he braking ac~ion a cer~ain unwinding resis~ance will reduce 6 ~he falling down sped.
8 Hooklng ~he an~lfall rucksack (~ha~ is shaped like a sui~case) on ~he back ~hrough bel~s .,. ~
g wi~h au~oma~ic fas~eners (as ~he securi~y bel~s of ~he mo~orcars) and hooking ~he free 10 ex~remi~y of ~he cable ~o a par~ of ~he building ~he person can jump down avoiding for 1 1 example ~he danger of a fire.
~ ; ~
12 The heigh~ of ~he jump is limi~ed from ~he leng~hiness of the cable.
13 The winding/unwinding device will allow conlrol of falling down.
I 4 :.
The dorsal an~ifall rucksack is endowed as previously described with a compensalion 16 sprinç; which a~lenua~es ~he unw~nding of ~he wrench (dur~ng the jump) and reduces 17 lhe tension on the cable. The cable is continuously controlled by the spring in such a 18 way ~ha~ after ~he maximum elongation ~he spring will amortize ~he final strap .
19 The ex~remi~y of the cable has a hooking musketoon in order ~o quick hook to the :
2 0 buildlng .
21 The charge (or person weigh) that the antifall rucksack can allow to descend is 2 2 regulated from the tension of the spring which is regulated varying its shim that so is ~;
23 loaded to stairs (discontinuously) real~zing a variable forcefulness. So the antifall 24 rucksack is tared for thongs of man-weigh which utilize the manual brake for ~ ~
2 5 incrementing the forcefulness. This in the case the fall liberates ditches too much fast ~ ~ -2 6 (because ~he spring has been loaded for a lower weigh ).

20015~9 3 These and other advantages will appear from the following description of a preferential 2 solution with Ihe drawings ~he particulars of execution being not to be considered 3 limitative but only exemplificative.
S Figure 1 represents a frontal view of the antifall rucksack .device. .
6 Figure 2 represen~s a ~ransversal section view of the antifall rucksack represen~ed in 7 Figure 1;
8 Figure 3 represen~s a ~op view of the antifall rucksack.
g .
1 () Referring ~o the figures ~he antifall rucksack consis~s in a cash in torm of rucksack 1 l (1) with dorsal forehead padded (15) for endorsing on ~he back and comprising means 12 to bel~ (no~ illus~ra~ed) for safe bel~ing on the back of the person ~ha~ shall jump down.
13 Inslde the cash (tha~ includes ~he device In the form of rucksack) a cable 14 winding/unwinding (rolling/unrolllng) reel (3) is comprised being ~he cable in s~eel or naylon (2 2) guided in its unwinding and winding from a reel (8) on bars of l 6 scroll (9) and ~o ~he ex~ernal by a cableguide (10) wi~h a seal tha~ con~rols ~he t 7 pulling in ~he momen~ of use (11) 19 The resis~ance (speed) of unwinding of ~he reel (3) is con~rolled from ~he ptessure of 2 0 a helical spring (4) lhat can be augmented or diminished from shims in the respective 21 opposed fric~ions (14) in respec~ ~o the axis (13) ~ha~ pro~rac~s fron~ally ~o key for 2 2 ~he rewinding of charging being said axis keyed wi~h kqy (3 3 ) to ~he coiler reel 23 (3 ). ~
24 ~:
2 5 Obviously the pressure of the helical spring can be varied rather than ulilizing rings 26 (in~ernal shims in figure) wi~h any o~her mean for example threading the suppor~

200~19 4 axis and utilizing a ro~alable ferrule thal causes a compression of the spring by means 2 of manual regulalion from ~he ex~ernal.
4 The drawings furlher disclose that the braking sets are warranted from a pulley (5) -;
keyed to the reel coiler-unroller. The brake is realized by a a semibelt (5) tensed 6 from a double lever (7-7) through respective couple of tierods (6).
7 The double lever (7) is protracted anteriorly frontally in side of the person on which 8 the antifall rucksack is fixed being llnked by a traverse (7) as a handle of droop for 9 regulallng the braking being further a security means of seizing in fall .
1~ In such way during the fall the operator is fetched to keep itself on sald lever and will I 1 act strongly on it in pulling for instinctive reaction with a major speed of falling.
1 2 In this way an automatic control for instinctive reaction of the operator is determined. ~ .
