- the base of the one-piece piece forming the access of the invention is meant the portion of the access through which the latter is connected to a user's shoulder belt by means of a carabiner.
- the bore formed on the surface of the one-piece piece constituting the accessory of the invention advantageously provides a rope return element projecting from the surface of the one-piece piece between said first orifice and the lower base of the invention. the slot, this return element being adapted to facilitate the manual release of a strand of rope stuck in said slot.
- the access to the invention can advantageously be used as a descender / as sureur in replacement of the traditional descenders. It allows, in particular, to descend or ensure single rope or double rope, with the choice of a variable braking system and optionally self-locking while being able to keep both hands on the rope, for ropes of 8 to 12 millimeters in diameter.
- the provision of the base of the accessor according to the present invention plays an important role in unlocking the rope which, when the accessory of the invention is used, has passed at least through the carabiner. attaching the access to the climber's or insurer's shoulder belt and in the access hole in the access hole, by making the rope move away from the base of the slot by circling over or the outside said bos sage when one goes up the free strand after blocking, which facilitates the release of the rope stuck in the slot and allows the practitioner to unlock the rope with one hand, without losing the balance and without letting go of the rope of his upstream hand.
- said lower end of said slot is located next to said first hole dedicated to the passage of a carabiner and substantially at the same height as the latter on the one-piece piece.
- the surface of said body is preferably adjacent to the edge of said first hole and said lower end of said slot, thereby providing support and guide surfaces for the rope around said body, obligatory when the rope is passed in the carabiner and a descent engaged.
- the slot of the accessory is a notched and curved "V" slot.
- This shape Curve of the slot also participates in a greater ease of unlocking the rope out of the slot after locking.
- said slot has on at least one of its edges and on the lower 2/3 of its length a rib or beveling.
- a rib or bevel has the advantage of increasing the wedging effect of a said strand of rope in said slot and effectively block the rope when necessary.
- the accessory of the invention also comprises at the upper end of said one-piece piece at least one horn, said horn summit, forming a notch in which can be passed a strand of rope to complicate the path and increase the friction of the rope on the access.
- the use of the top horn allows use of the accessory of the invention by keeping one hand down on the rope and providing an exit of the rope from the notch defined by this horn horn when the downward hand loosens the rope, which allows the automatic locking in the slot sought for security.
- the invention provides two particular embodiments of the summit horn.
- the summit horn is relatively straight, slightly hooked and of short length, delimiting a very open notch that allows automatic replacement of the free rope strand in the locking slot of the accessory in case of release by the user.
- the accessory of the invention may also comprise, when the summit horn is longer and hooked and therefore the notch formed deeper, an automatic cord ejector housed in the base of the notch formed by said horn summit, said ejector having a lug cooperating with a biasing means elastic located in a housing made at the bottom of said notch in said single piece.
- Such ej ector avoids any blockage of the rope by the horn summit and thus ensure that the rope strand down not fit well in the slot and is blocked in it when it was dropped by the user.
- the accessory of the invention also comprises, at the base of said one-piece piece, a first basal horn of substantially triangular and ergonomic shape and extending from said first orifice in a direction d1 forming an angle ⁇ between 30 ° and 90 ° with respect to a vertical line not passing through the center of said first orifice.
- This horn serves both as a return element of the rope by passing it behind said basal horn and especially ergonomic manual support so that the user can press his left hand against the horn to pinch the rope properly. in use to change the positioning and course of the rope in the accessory according to braking and safety needs.
- the accessory of the invention also preferably comprises, at the base of said one-piece piece, a second basal horn, preferably substantially straight, extending from said boss in a direction d2 forming an angle a2 included between 30 ° and 90 ° with respect to a vertical line passing through the center of said first orifice.
- the accessory has a central horn forming a separation between said second central orifice and said slot, this horn also making it possible to realize if necessary a simplified security key with the rope.
- the central horn may also be articulated around a pivot and biased by an elastic means so as to close the entrance of the locking slot to momentarily condemn the slot and thus prevent the rope gliss se, then allowing to use the accessory of the invention as a traditional descender, without any possibility of blocking.
- the belaying and / or rappelling accessory of the invention is advantageously formed of a one-piece piece which may consist of a metal or a metal alloy, or alternatively made of a synthetic material. or a mixture of several synthetic materials including plastics.
- the accessory of the invention can also in an alternative embodiment, comprise a carabiner welded directly into the first orifice, which eliminates any space, as narrow or it, between the right border of the top of the carabiner and the inner part of the boss and makes the access completely rigid and monobloc with the carabiner, which can be useful in order to avoid any parasitic or unwanted movement between the carabiner and the access.
- the access of the invention can be declined in rectilinear or straight models which therefore give a symmetry recto / verso, and allow use for right-handed and left-handed users.
- the invention can be declined in models having a curvature in the longitudinal direction or twisted having a twist in the longitudinal direction for an even faster and easier release. We then lose right-handed and / or left-handed use for the same device.

- Accessory 1 of the invention represented in FIGS. 1 to 6, is intended for the practice of canyoning and climbing for abseiling and ascent, mainly in single rope, and in particular for ropes. 8 to 12 mm according to the UIAA standard.
- This accessory simplifies the practice by facilitating braking, rope stop (useless or simplified blocking key), rope ascending and descent / climb conversions; and climb / descent.
- this accessory 1 consists of a single piece which can be obtained by molding metal, in particular aluminum, or metal alloys, in particular based on steel or aluminum. aluminum or by molding synthetic materials such as thermoplastics.
- This one-piece piece has a generally elongated shape, of substantially constant thickness over its entire length except in two particular areas on each of these faces ( Figures 2A and 2C) whose cause will be explained below.
- the piece 1 has no sharp edges or angles, sharp or sharp, although it nevertheless has parts 5, 6, 7, 8 protruding on these edges which all filled a particular function useful for the use of the accessory 1 of the invention.
- the one-piece piece comprises at its base a first orifice 2 opening right through in the direction of the thickness of the part, this orifice 2 being of substantially oval shape and of a size adapted to allow the passage of a safety carabiner so as to to attach the access 1 to the harness of a user.
- the accessory 1 comprises a large central orifice 3 of generally oval or substantially circular shape.
- This large central orifice 3 is also opening through the thickness of the one-piece piece forming the access piece 1 and communicates or is extended by its upper part by an elongated and indented slot 4, of shape curve over its entire length, wider at its upper end than at its lower end.
- This slot 4 is separated from the orifice 3 by a central horn 9, and its function is to allow automatic locking of the rope when using the access door 1.
- said slot 4 has a width relatively large at its upper end and in any case sufficient to allow the passage and sliding in the slot 4 of a strand of rope suitable for the practice of mountain sports, including ropes of 8 to 12 millimeters in diameter comply to the UIAA standard.
- the lower end of the slot 4 has a smaller width than that of the upper end of the slot 4 and in any case sufficient to allow the blocking of said rope at as it slips into the slot regardless of the diameter of the rope.
- the inner edges of the slot 4 are preferably bevelled, or more preferably ribs, on the lower 2/3 of the length of the slot 4. This beveling or ribbing of the lower inner edges of the slot 4 is intended to provide a better rope lock in the slot 4 when using the accessory 1 as will be described later with reference to Figures 7 to 18.
- the curved shape of the slot 4 in turn contributes to facilitate the unlocking of rope by the user of the accessory, in combination with the effect of detachment or separation of the rope out of the slot 4 provided by a boss 5 extending transversely projecting on each of the faces of the one-piece piece exactly between the basal orifice 2 and the narrowest lower end of the slot 4.
- This bar 5 forms a rope return element tending to move it away from the slot 4 during use of the access, which facilitates the unlocking of the rope from the slot for the user and in particular allows unlocking with one hand by simply pulling on the free strand of rope without having to let go of it.
- the boss 5 has a substantially pyramidal shape with a triangular base, however this form is not limiting. However, it is important that the projection height of the boss 5 on the surface of the accessory is at least equal to the thickness of the rope used to abseil, and therefore in practice, for the accessory to be suitable in In many cases, the height of the boss is preferably at least 8 millimeters, and more preferably between 10 and 20 millimeters. Thus the accessory of the invention can be used with most of the ropes usually used for the practice of climbing, canyoning and mountaineering.
- the central horn 9 can be hinged to the base to close the upper end of the slot 4 and thus prevent the rope from entering the slot from the central hole 3.
- the accessory 1 further comprises a basal horn 6, said left basal horn of substantially triangular and ergonomic shape and extending from the orifice 2 in a direction d1 forming an angle ⁇ between 30 ° and 90 ° with respect to a vertical right D pasant by the center of the orifice 2.
- It also comprises a basal horn 7, said right basal horn preferably substantially straight, extending from the boss 5 in a direction d2 forming an angle ⁇ 2 between 30 ° and 90 ° relative to the vertical line D passing through the center of the orifice 2.
- a top horn 8 At the top of the one-piece piece forming the access 1 is also a top horn 8 defining by its curved shape a notch 10. This horn 8 and notch 10 are also provided to allow a return and a guidance of the rope of descent respectively according to the use which is made of the accessory 1.
- I comprises an automatic rope ejector housed in the base of the notch 10 formed by said summit horn 8, said ejector having a lug
- This ejector is an additional safety tool for providing the automatic rope locking function in the slot 4 when said rope is passed through the notch 10 during abseiling and the rope free end is suddenly released by the user. .
- the accessory 1 can also be bent as shown in Figure 4 or twisted as shown in Figure 5. In these two configurations, the accessory 1 provides in use a greater ease of handling and unlocking of the rope used for the descent.
- the accessory 1 of the invention is advantageously provided for use as a single-rope self-locking chute / ascender in a configuration shown in FIG. 6.
- Access 1 is then attached to the user's shoulder belt by a carabiner M passed through the hole 2 of the accessory, and a rope not being seated underneath in the orifice 3 and then under the left basal horn 6, in the carabiner M around boss 5 and then in slot 4 by the sus, the strand of rope BL being held in the hand of the user and pulled more or less down to control the glis sement of the rope during descent or stop the descent by complete blocking in slot 4.
- FIGS. 7 to 18 The different possibilities of use of the accessory 1 of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 7 to 18.
- the access 1 as surage and abseiling of the invention can advantageously, in a symmetrical straight configuration as shown in Figures 1 to 2C be used indifferently by right-handed or left-handed users, the privileged position of use for the right-handed ones being shown in FIG. 7A, that favored for left-handers being represented in FIG. 7B.
- Accessory 1 of the present invention must firstly be connected to the user's shoulder belt B via a H-type carabiner M (Pear-shaped) or symmetrical.
- the carabiner M is then fixed to the user's shoulder belt B and the accessory 1 is attached in a captive manner by its base opening 3 to said carabiner M as represented in FIG. 8B.
- the use of the accessory 1 of the invention requires users to know and master a so-called "rope pinch” technique, shown in FIG. 10 and made possible thanks to the ergonomic shape and the relative low width of the base of the accessory 1 above the left basal horn 6, this ergonomic shape allowing the passage of a first position of use of the so-called autoblocking accessory (Figures 9 to 13) to a second position non self-locking conventional free descender ( Figures 1 5 and 16), applying the left hand against the body of the accessory as shown in Figure 10.
- Figures 9 to 13 show the mode of use of the gan 1 of the invention in the self-locking position.
- the function of the basal horn 6 is very important because it plays an important role in the braking of the rope C during the descent.
- the boom 5 located between the opening 3 in which the carabiner M is passed and the base of the slot 4 j is essential for the unblocking of the rope C in that it tends to force the rope out of the slot 4 when the user pushes the free strand BL of rope up to unlock the rope.
- the boom 5 also participates in the braking of the rope during the descent, which facilitates the control of the descent movement by the user.
- a second use position is shown in Figures 15 and 16.
- the accessory 1 is used in conventional free descender captive with the difference, however, to provide multiple braking stimulities through the top horns 8 and right basal 7.
- the use of the accessory 1 in this position is not self-locking. It will therefore be preferred for example for abseiling under cascade. It is therefore advisable to always keep a tight hand on the free strand BL of the rope C or to make a simplified locking key on the central horn 9 and the right basal horn 7.
- the strand-free strand BL has not passed through the slot 4 of the accessory 1 but into the central hole 3 as when using a conventional "Eight" and shown in FIG. 1 5.
- the free strand BL is then always kept pulled down and it is the strength of the arms that the user directs and controls his descent on the rope C.
