Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for protecting a user in the event of a fall in a substantially vertical track such as a ladder.
- This device is for example usable on a tank vehicle, or a container, the constitution of which obliges the user to climb onto the upper part to access the loading members.
- substantially vertical path means any path taken by the user to move, in a substantially vertical direction.
- This track can be arranged as a ladder, a stepladder, a staircase, a vertical or sloping wall provided with steps and / or sockets, a ' via ferrata, or even a pylon along which sockets and / or steps are planned.
- This route can be arranged as a wooden post or a tree along which the examiner can climb using claws.
- a device for protecting a user in the event of a fall in a substantially vertical track comprising a harness equipped with a self-locking reel with automatic return of a link having a free end provided with means for hooking to a guide element extending along the substantially vertical path between a lower part and an upper end thereof, the device comprising abutment means of the hooking means, the abutment means being movable along the guide element between the lower part and the upper end of the substantially vertical track and immobilizable in the vicinity of the upper end of the track appreciably vertical.
- the user can bring the attachment means at the upper end of the substantially vertical track and immobilize it.
- the link like a strap, is gradually wound or unwound.
- the body of the user exerts a violent traction on the strap which causes the actuation of the locking means of the self-locking dispenser.
- the height of the fall is then reduced to the length of strap which is unwound under violent traction before the 'locking means come into action. Given the rapidity of actuation of the means for blocking the current reels, this length is very limited.
- the abutment means comprise a pole having one end arranged to cooperate by sliding with the guide element - and bear under the hooking means, and means for fixing the pole the along the guide element.
- the guide element thus facilitates the handling of the pole.
- This embodiment is particularly simple, quick to implement and robust.
- said end of the pole is provided with a stirrup extending around the guide element.
- the stirrup guides the end of the pole which is therefore particularly easy to handle.
- the abutment means comprise at least one pulley mounted in the vicinity of the lower part of the substantially vertical track, at least one pulley mounted in the vicinity of the upper end of the substantially vertical track, a flexible element extending in a loop around the two pulleys, a support element mounted to slide on the guide element and connected to a strand of the flexible element and means for locking the flexible element in position when the support element is at near the upper end of the substantially vertical track.
- This embodiment is also very simple and robust. It allows to equip substantially vertical tracks of greater width than with the previous embodiment. Other features and benefits of the invention will emerge on reading the following description of particular non-limiting embodiments of the invention.
- FIG. 1 is a partial schematic perspective view of a goods transport vehicle equipped with a protection device according to a first embodiment of the invention, in a belay configuration
- FIGS 2, 3 and 4 are partial perspective views of the protection device according to the first embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 5 is a view similar to that of Figure 1 of this protection device, in an intermediate configuration
- FIG. 6 is a partial perspective view of this protection device, in a configuration preparatory to use
- FIG. 7 is a partial perspective view of the attachment means
- FIG. 8 is a schematic elevational view of a protection device according to a second embodiment.
- a vehicle 1 such as a truck, a trailer or a semi-trailer .
- a scale 2 allowing a user 3 to access the roof 4.
- the protection device • comprises a fixed line (or flexible belay support according to standard EN 795) generally designated in 5 which includes a vertical section 5.1 extending along the ladder 2 and a horizontal section 5.2 extending on the roof 4.
- the fixed line 5 is formed of a cable having ends 6 (only one of which is visible in the figures) which are fixed in a manner known per se to the vehicle so as to keep the fixed line 5 in tension.
- the fixed line is supported at regular intervals by anchoring elements generally designated in 7, 8 each comprising a tube 9, 10 which receives the fixed line
- the tube 9 of the anchoring element 7 has the shape of a butt which comprises one end in the extension of the vertical section 5.1 and one end in the extension of the horizontal section 5.2.
- the tube 9 fixing means comprise a collar 13 fixed to an upper end of a ladder post 2 and a sole 14 screwed or welded to the roof 4 of the vehicle 1.
- Several anchoring elements 8 (but only one is visible in the figures) are distributed along the horizontal section 5.2.
- the fixing means are soles 15 screwed or welded to the roof 4 of the vehicle 1.
- a slide generally designated at 16 "(or mobile anchor point according to the above-mentioned standard) is mounted to slide on the fixed line 5.
- the slide 16 known in itself, comprises a tubular body 17 along which is formed a slot 18 allowing the lateral introduction of the fixed line 5 into the body 17.
- Known retractable means (not visible in the figures) are provided to prevent the passage of the fixed line 5 in the slot 18.
- a ring 20 is integral with the body 17. The ring 20 is positioned relative to the slot 18 so that, when the ring 20 is pulled to move the slide 16 along the fixed line 5, the slot 18 allows the passage of the lateral fingers 11, 12 (see FIG. 7).
- anchoring element 7 in the form of a stick ensures the continuity of the sliding of the slide 16 between the vertical section 5.1 and the horizontal section 5.2.
- the protection device comprises a harness 21 intended to be worn by the user and equipped with a self-locking reel 22 and with automatic return of a strap 23.
- the reel 17 is known in itself -even.
- the strap 23 is here associated with an energy absorber and has a free end provided with a carabiner 24 allowing the strap 23 to be hooked to the slide 16 and therefore to the fixed line 5.
- the protection device comprises means for stop which are movable along the vertical section 5.1 between the lower part and the upper end of the ladder 2 and immobilizable in the vicinity of the upper end of the ladder 2.
- these abutment means comprise a tubular pole 25 having ends 26, 27 arranged to removably receive pins 28, 29 secured to the vehicle 1 so that once received between the pins 28, 29 the pole 25 extends parallel to the vertical section 5.1 of the fixed line 5.
- the ends 26, 27 and / or the pins 28, 29 can be sheathed with a vibration-absorbing material.
- the end 26 is provided with a stirrup 30 in which the vertical section 5.1 passes.
- the end 27 and the corresponding pin 29 are pierced transversely to receive a pin 31 to make the pole 25 integral with the vehicle by opposing its release from the pins 28, 29.
- the user 3 removes the pin 31 and disengages the pole 25 from among the pins 28, 29 to bring the end 26 to the bottom of the ladder 2 (see Figure 6 ).
- the slide 16 being mounted above the stirrup 30, the user hooks the carabiner 24 to the ring 20 then manipulates the pole to engage it again between the pins 28, 29 before replacing the pin 31 (see Figures 5 then 1 and 3).
- the vertical section 5.1 guides the slide 16 and the end 26 of the pole 25, which facilitates its handling.
- the bracket 30 and the slide 16 are then adjacent to the upper end of the ladder 2 (FIG. 2) and the bracket 30, held in position by the pole 25 i - mobilized by the pins 28, 29, forms a stop opposing any movement of descent of the slide 16.
- the stirrup 30 and the pole 25, by blocking the slide 16 stops the fall of a user who would have fallen from the ladder. The user can then climb the ladder 2 while being insured and then access the roof 4.
- the stop means comprise a pair of pulleys 40 mounted on the vehicle 1 in the vicinity of the lower part of the ladder 2 and a pair of pulleys 41 mounted in the vicinity of the high end of the ladder 2.
- a cable 42 extends in a loop around the pulleys 40, 41 so as to comprise a strand 42.1 parallel and adjacent to the vertical section 5.1.
- a ring 43 is fixed to this strand 42.1 of the cable 42 and is mounted to slide on the vertical section 5.1.
- the slide 16 is mounted above the ring 43.
- a locking cable 44 is fixed to the strand 42.2 of the cable 42.
- the locking cable 44 has an opposite end which can be hooked to the vehicle 1 on the side of the pair of pulleys 40 to immobilize the ring 43 in the vicinity from the upper end of scale 2 (as shown in Figure 8).
- the cable 42 is here produced in two parts connected by rings to which the ring 43 and the cable 44 are hung.
- the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and it is possible to make variant embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the claims.
- the invention can be used in combination with numerous means of transport and in particular land transport such as tank vehicles, rail vehicles such as wagons, river or sea for access to the holds of boats, or with mobile structures used in transportation or handling like containers or overhead cranes.
- the invention can also be used with fixed structures such as buildings, portals, etc.
- a belay rail can be used in place of all or part of the cable forming, in the embodiments described, the fixed line 5.
- the fixed line 5 may only extend along scale 2 or include several vertical and / or horizontal sections.
- the horizontal section of the fixed line may follow or precede the vertical section.
- the guide element can be produced in the form of a rod. This embodiment can be used on a vehicle provided with at least one door, the rod being mounted next to the ladder on the door so as to have an upper end in the vicinity and in the extension of the stock when the door is closed.
- the intermediate anchoring element 7 can be produced by means of a chute shaped like a butt to receive the cable forming the fixed line 5.
- the strap can then be hooked to the fixed line 5 directly by the carabiner which can be slid between the chute and the cable to pass the intermediate anchoring element 7.
