Definitions
- the invention relates to a system for protecting individuals during work on ladders with rungs, which system encompasses anti-fall protection that comprises a first and a second side and a displaceable hinge that can be secured to an individual by means of a safety line, safety harness or the like and a rail for being attached in an essentially vertical position on or at the ladder; said anti-fall protection and rail having cooperating locking means that are adapted such that the anti-fall protection is able to slide on the rail when the hinge is displaced in one direction, and is secured on the rail when the hinge is displaced in another direction, said rail and anti-fall protection being also configured with complementary and asymmetrical engagement means such that the anti-fall protection can be mounted on the rail with only one side up, and wherein said first and second sides can be displaced relative to each other to the effect that the engagement means can be caused to engage and disengage the rail.
- Equipment for anti-fall protection which is used in connection with eg work on ladders.
- Such equipment usually comprises a anti-fall protection which is able to slide on a rail intended therefor.
- the anti-fall protection usually comprises a brace or a hinge which, via eg one or more snap hooks and a safety harness, can be connected to the worker who uses the equipment.
- This kind of anti-fall protection functions in that the anti-fall protection slides on the rail at the rates and accelerations that occur in case of normal use of the ladder and, in return, locks securely onto the rail at the rates and accelerations that usually occur in case of a fall.
- the underlying mechanical principle of these anti-fall protection systems is based on an eccentric mechanism accommodated at the bottom of the brace or the hinge which is rotatably journalled.
- the eccentric mechanism functions in that it is forced into locking engagement with the rail when the brace or the hinge is influenced relatively by a downwards force.
- the hinge When the anti-fall protection is used by a person who climbs the ladder, the hinge thus occupies such position where the eccentric is released from the rail, whereas a fall will influence the brace or the hinge in a direction where the eccentric engages lockingly with the rail.
- DE 20314230 U1 shows a system according to the preamble of claim 1 and an anti-fall protection according to the preamble of claim 3.
- the system comprises an anti-fall protection provided with brace/hinge which is mounted on a rail configured therefor.
- the anti-fall protection allows the individual using it to move up and down in case of normal use of the ladder, but in case an individual using the system slides or falls, the slider instantly locks onto the rail.
- the anti-fall protection functions by means of an eccentrics mechanism as described above which is connected to the hinge or the brace and which, when the hinge/brace is influenced by a sufficient force in a downwards direction, is forced to lockingly engage the associated rail.
- the rail and the anti-fall protection are adapted such to each other that the anti-fall protection can be oriented on the rail in only one way.
- US patent No. US 6,725,969 B1 discloses another system for safeguarding against falls from ladders.
- This system also comprises an anti-fall protection which, during use of the ladder, has to be mounted on a rail. That anti-fall protection functions by means of a latch/pawl which is forced into engagement with holes intended therefor if the individual using the anti-fall protection falls.
- the object of the invention is accomplished by a system according to claim 1.
- the anti-fall protection, latch, ladder and rail are adapted to each other to be such that the latch will hit the rungs of the ladder when the anti-fall protection is mounted on the rail, and the latch occupies the position in which it allows a movement of the stop means to enable it to occupy a position where the hinge can be moved to a position in which the first and the second sides can be shifted out of engagement with the rail.
- the invention further relates to an anti-fall protection as featured in claims 3-4.
- the designation 'hinge' comprises any kind of displaceable mechanism to which an individual is able to secure a line.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of an anti-fall protection 1 on which a rail (2) is mounted.
- the anti-fall protection comprises a first and a second side 10, 11 and a displaceable hinge 12, to which an individual can be secured by means of a safety line, safety harness or the like (not shown).
- the system further comprises a rail 20 for attachment in an essentially vertical position on or at the ladder (not shown either).
- Anti-fall protection 1 and rail 20 are configured with co-operating locking means that are adapted such that the anti-fall protection is able to slide on the rail 20 when the hinge 12 is displaced in one direction and locked onto the rail 20 when the hinge is displaced in another direction.
- the locking means are constituted by an eccentric 15 at the bottom of the hinge 12 which can be forced downwards towards the ladder 20 when the anti-fall protection is mounted on the rail, and the hinge is turned about the axis 18.
- the rail 20 and the anti-fall protection are also configured with complementary and asymmetrical engagement means 13, 14 and 21, 22 which, in the shown case, are constituted by flanges 21, 22 on the rail and cavities 13, 14 configured therefor in the anti-fall protection.
- That edge 23 and the associated recess 16 ensure that the anti-fall protection can be mounted on the rail in only one way.
- the anti-fall protection is constructed such that the two sides 10 and 11 can be shifted in such a way relative to each other that the cavities 13, 14 can be pulled off the flanges of the rail and thereby the anti-fall protection can be mounted and dismounted anywhere on the rail.
- this functionality is obtained la through the use of a guide 17 on which the part 10 can be mounted slideably by means of an opening 18 corresponding to the guide.
- the technical means that connect the first 10 and the second side 11 of the anti-fall protection are configured such that the side can be shifted out of engagement with the rail 20 only when the hinge 12 is in a specific position.
- an opening 40 will appear which is, to the right of the Figure, round and, further into the side 10, it proceeds to assume a substantially square shape.
- the square part of the opening 40 extends such distance into the side 10 that the corresponding head 41 on the shaft 19 allows a relative and axial movement between the shaft 19 and the side 10 when the head is in the square part of the opening 40.
- This attachment takes place by means of rivets 30, 31 (shown in Figure 2 ) that are able to engage with a corresponding recess in the one end of the shaft when the latter is introduced into the other side 11 of the anti-fall protection, and the rivets 30, 31 are mounted in holes configured therefore (not shown) underneath the openings 31a and 32a (as are shown in Figure 3 ).
- the length of the shaft 19 is adapted such to the anti-fall protection that the head 41 is located in the round part of the hole 40 when the anti-fall protection is mounted on the rail 20, and thereby a rotation of the shaft is allowed an hence also of the hinge 12 when the anti-fall protection is used on the rail.
- the hinge is turned to a position where the square head of the shaft is able to slide into the corresponding square part of the hole 40, following which the side 10 can be displaced relatively relative to the side 11, the head now being able to side into the square part of the hole 40.
- the anti-fall protection is secured against the sides being entirely dismounted, the internal diameter 42 of the hole 40 (best seen in Figure 2 ) being of such size and shape that the head 41 is unable to pass there through.
- Figure 4 shows an embodiment of the invention where the hinge is shifted to a position where the eccentric mechanism 15 (not shown in Figure 4 ) is not in engagement with the rail, but wherein the sides 10 and 11 can be shifted mutually to the effect that the anti-fall protection can be dismounted from and mounted on the rail 20.
- Figure 5 schematically shows how the anti-fall protection further comprises a stop means which, in its shown position, allows the hinge to be moved to the position where the anti-fall protection is able to slide on the rail and simultaneously be dismounted from or mounted on the rail.
- This stop means 32 is journalled rotatably on a shaft 34 and the shop means comprises an edge 32 (shown in Figure 3 ) which is able to lockingly engage with a corresponding edge 33 on the hinge (also shown in Figure 3 ).
- the shaft 34 of the stop means 32 is spring-biased such that the stop means seeks towards the position in which it prevents the hinge from turning towards the position in which the anti-fall protection can be separated from the rail. Thereby further preventive measures against the anti-fall protection being unintentionally dismounted form the rail 20 are provided.
- the hinge 12 can also be securely locked in engagement with the stop means 32, it being possible to fixate the stop means in this position by means of a latch 50.
- the latch 50 which is shown in greater detail in Figure 7 is, in this embodiment of the invention, mounted such - in the second side 11 of the anti-fall protection, as shown in figures 1 and 3 - that it can be displaced in its longitudinal direction.
- the latch has an area which is able to engage with an essentially flat piece 35 on the shaft of the stop means 32, and the length of the latch is adapted to be such that it takes place precisely when the latch is, as shown in Figure 1 , pressed partially into the anti-fall protection.
- the latch further has an area 51 of reduced diameter and that area is adapted to the shaft on the stop means to enable the stop means to rotate when that part 51 of the latch is arranged opposite the shaft 35 of the stop means.
- the latch allows rotation only when the latch is pressed completely into the anti-fall protection, as shown by figures 4 and 5 .
- the anti-fall protection and the latch can be adapted to be such that the lower end 52 of the latch protrudes out through the underside of the anti-fall protection. It is the object of this that the end 52 of the latch - when the latch allows rotation of the stop means 32 - can and will hit the rungs of a ladder (not shown in the figuresl on which the rail 20 and anti-fall protection are mounted.
