Then the one to be secured Person ascend or descend unhindered.
  • the invention is based on the recognition that in certain exceptional situations, especially in unconscious persons and the as a rule resulting body positions or postures these persons an increased tensile load on the safety gear or on the locking bar is exercised.
  • the difference to the first or normal Tensile load is referred to here as the second additional tensile load.
  • this second additional tensile load in particular occurs in the described exceptional situations, a safety catch swung out, with which the housing can be locked in the guide rail. Consequently, the housing in the guide rail is no longer movable and the The safety gear can not go down unhindered. In other words is a crashing, for example, unconscious person by this invention Design of the safety catch automatically collected, because the locking latch the housing in the guide rail effectively locked.
  • a by the point of the Tensile force on the locking bolt and by the pivot axis or axis of rotation of Bar locking straight line with a horizontal an acute angle includes.

  • a very preferred embodiment of the invention is in the locking bar a slot formed in which slot a bolt displaced is arranged, which bolt on the one hand with the holding device connected connecting element and the other to the locking latch is connected and wherein by a displacement of the bolt in the slot the safety catch can be swung out into the locking position or in its starting position can be pivoted.
  • the locking bar is first in the unlocked position pivoted, so that the housing in the guide rail is movable.
  • the second additional tensile load is applied, this leads to a displacement of the bolt in the slot and to a corresponding Swing out the safety bolt connected to the bolts.
  • the invention is based on the finding that this slot makes it possible that the second additional tensile load, in particular backward tensile load, by first moving the bolt onto the safety catch is transmitted and only then on the other components of the locking bolt (Outer elements) is transmitted. If in the slot located Bolt is pressurized or in the slot in the opposite Direction is moved, there is a pivoting of the safety bolt from the Locking position to the starting position.
  • the safety catch in its locking position abuts against locking elements of the guide rail.
