Definitions

  • This invention relates to a fall arrest safety device of the so-called "first man” type, particularly for personnel operating on power line pylons and the like, but also for application in other situations where safety against falling is required.
  • a fall arrest safety device which comprises an attachment hook firmly connected to a hollow rod, a pulley rotatably mounted near an upper end of the hollow rod, a rope having one end secured to a counterweight slidably mounted within said hollow rod, said rope extending from an upper end of said hollow rod and passing around said pulley and through locking means anchored to said hollow rod, the other end of said rope being provided with means for attachment to a safety-belt of the user, said locking means being arranged to permit free passage of the rope in both directions when said rope is running slowly and to lock said rope when it is running in the direction of lifting of the counterweight at a speed exceeding a prede termined value.
  • a fall arrest safety device comprises an attachment hook 10 made preferably of a steel tube formed in U-shape and reinforced by an iron strap 12 welded along the out side of the curved portion.
  • One end of the hook 10 terminates in a tubular member 14 which in turn is rigidly connected by means of welded brackets 16 to hollow rod 18 which extends for a length of a few metres from the end of the hook 10.
  • a cylindrical counterweight 20 is slidably mounted within the hollow rod 18 and a rope 22, preferably made of three twisted strands of nylon, has one end firmly secured to the counterweight 20 and extends upwardly therefrom through the hollow rod 18, passed around a pulley 24 mounted for free rotation in the tubular member 14 and comes out of the lower end of this tubular member 14 after passing through locking means which will be described in greater detail hereinafter, to terminate with a free end 26 provided with a spring catch 28 for attachment to a safety-belt (not shown) of a user.
  • the locking means is located in the tubular member 14 between a pair of plugs 30, 32.
  • the first plug 30 supports a guide shoe 34 for retaining the rope on the pulley and preventing it from derailing whereas the second plug 32 is provided with a bore permitting the rope to pass therethrough.
  • the locking means then comprises a sleeve 36 located above the plug 32 and having a frustoconical inner seat for receiving a floating piston 38 the end of which has a frustoconical shape complementary to that of the inner seat in the sleeve 36.
  • a helical spring 40 normally pushes the piston 38 upwardly away from the sleeve 36.
  • the piston 38 is provided with a central bore permitting the rope 22 to pass therethrough.
  • the rope 22 is guided toward the piston 38 by a fixed guide member 42.
  • the conical portion of the piston 38 has three radial apertures 44 (only one of which is seen in the drawings) each receiving a steel ball 46.
  • the upper end of the floating piston 38 supports a slidable strut 48 having an inclined surface 50 at its upper end.
  • a rotatable plate 52 having at least one projecting pin 54 is mounted for rotation in the pulley 24 so that during rotation of the plate 52 the pin 54 will engage the inclined surface 50 on the strut 48 to move the piston 38 downwardly against the action of the spring 40.
  • a centrifugally operated device for coupling the rotatable plate 52 to the pulley 24 when the latter rotates at a speed exceeding a predetermined value.
  • Various devices capable of achieving this are known, but a preferred embodiment will now de described with reference to Fig. 3.
  • a crescent-shaped weight 56 is accommodated in a central cylindrical recess in the pulley 24 and mounted for pivotal movement around a pivot 58 connecting the crescent-shaped weight 56 to the body of the pulley.
  • a calibrated helical spring 60 normally holds the crescent-shaped weight 56 in a position close to the axis of the pulley.
  • the rotatable plate 52 has a projection 62 extending inwardly from and over part the periphery of the plate 52.
  • the safety device is used and operates as follows: The user attaches the spring catch 28 to this safety-belt, grips the rod 18 near its lower end and lifts the entire device for attaching it by the hook 10 to a point as high as possible on the pylon, i.e. as far he can reach from his starting positions. During this operation the rope 22 will be withdrawn from the device by passing around the pulley 24 and lifting the counterweight 20. This movement of the rope will not be obstructed by the device as the speed of rotation of the pulley 24 is lower than that required for coupling the rotatable plate 52 to the pulley.
  • the user will climb up the latter without further bothering about the safety device while the counterweight 20 will gradually recover the rope 22 as the user approaches the hook 10.
  • the user will repeat the operation of attaching the hook 10 to a position above him a distance corresponding at least to the length of the rod. 18 and by repeating this operation a number of times he will reach the desired position up on the pylon.
