Definitions

  • the purpose of this invention is to remove all these disadvantages.
  • the result of this invention is a safety device, fall arrest follower, blocker and descender.
  • This new device therefore offers the possibility of rope ascending, controlled climb and descent along the fixed rope, a descending function when the user is suspended from the device after a fall or during abseiling and it is also used to secure another person, the device is then attached to a person on the ground who performs the belay accompanying the movement in the device of the mobile rope connected to the other person, allowing the progression of the climber or worker safely.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show an exemplary embodiment of the device according to the invention, it is shown in perspective in the use position installed on a rope (1) of safety, and a carabiner attachment (12) generally connects the device to the harness of the user, the latter not being represented.
  • the device according to this invention can be used to secure another person with a mobile safety rope, the device will be attached to the person on the ground and installed on a rope (1) mobile connecting the climber, so during a belay "Roping machine", the movable safety rope generally slides in a ring fixed at the top of the wall, or when a climber climbs "at the head”, then he connects the movable safety rope to rings fixed in the wall via carabiners, as it progresses.
  • the device can also be used as a fall arrester follower, the device is then attached to the user and installed on a fixed safety rope attached to the top of the wall, the self device thus ensures the user moving along the said fixed safety rope.
  • the device When used as a fall arrest device for climbing or controlled descent, the device follows the movement of the user without causing a blockage, the device is free to circulate along the rope (1) regardless of its inclination uphill or downhill.
  • the lever (18) allows to manually activate the thrust member (9) by releasing the retractable notch (19).
  • the lever (18) is retained under the retractable notch (19)
  • the device is in the "fall arrest follower" mode, it allows a controlled circulation of the rope (1) thus a user displacement in ascending and descending controlled without causing blockage.
  • the lever (18) when the lever (18) is released from the retractable notch (19), as shown in dotted line on the figure 2 , the device is in "blocker” mode, it therefore only allows the movement of the rope (1) in a direction corresponding to a displacement of the user uphill and cause a blocking of the rope (1) in the opposite direction when of the descent for example.
  • This lever (18) allows the user during the climbing of a cliff for example with the device in "fall arrest” mode, to switch to "blocker” mode to be held by the rope (1) for for example, to cross a passage that is too difficult, then return to the "fall arrest” mode to continue climbing uphill or downhill.
  • All the parts that make up the device are preferably made of metal, stamped or injected aluminum type.
  • certain essential organs of the device could be made of steel, then a molding of resistant plastic of these said essential organs would form the body of the device.
  • the pressure member (8) is articulated in rotation about the axis (22) and applies a pressure on the free weight (7) by the effect of a tension spring (24).
  • This traction spring (24) largely compensates for the weight of the free weight (7).
  • the free weight (7) rolls on the rope (1) and turns on itself on the low bearing surface (21) of the cavity (5), the rope (1) causes the free weight (7) and note that the direction of rotation always tends to press the free weight (7) against the rope (1) and against the low bearing surface (21), the free weight (7) can not not cause blocking.
  • the free weight (7) rolls on the rope (1) and turns on itself on the low bearing surface (21), but its direction of rotation being reversed, the free weight (7) tends to move away from the rope (1) fixed towards the inclined bearing surface (6).
  • the skidding of the free weight (7) on the low bearing surface (21) and on the pressure member (8) is understood because, on the one hand, the adhesion of the rope (1) to the free weight ( 7) is more important than the adhesion of the contact zones of the pressure member (8) and the low bearing surface (21), due to the size of the contact surfaces and the nature of the materials, and on the other hand the direction of the pressure of the pressure member (8) on the free weight (7) being towards the rope (1) and towards the low bearing surface (21), therefore the opposite of the inclined bearing surface (6).
  • the device in "fall arrest follower" mode will cause an acceleration of the movement of the rope (1) in the device, thus the acceleration in rotation of the free flyweight (7) which generates an increase in friction on the pressure member (8), thereby causing the free flyweight (7) to move towards the top of the cavity (5) by pushing back the pressure member (8) then said free weight (7) will roll on the inclined bearing surface (6) until the locking of the rope (1) between said free weight (7) and the bearing surface (4).
  • the pressure member (8) gives a high reliability to the device even if it is used with different diameters of rope.
  • the size, shape and surface condition of the free weight (7) condition the other parameters of the device.
  • a free flyweight of triangular shape in side view, comprising a running gear between said free weight and the inclined bearing surface is another way to achieve the locking system of the device;
  • a smooth surface state of the free weight (7) will be preferable to not damage the strings.
  • the figure 4 is a partial section of the device in "blocker" mode.
  • the push member (9) integral with the lever (18) is shown in the active position, the user is free to move uphill and the device will cause the locking of the rope (1) in the direction of descent.
  • the thrust member (9) being integral with the lever (18) (shown in dashed lines on the figure 2 ), it is therefore in the active position when it is free to pivot on the axis (20), in order to push the free weight (7) against the rope (1) and against the inclined bearing surface (6), thanks to the strength of a spring traction (25).
  • This traction spring (25) has a sufficiently large force so that the free weight (7) pushes the pressure member (8) and comes into abutment against the rope (1) and against the inclined bearing surface ( 6).
  • the thrust member (9) integral with the lever (18) is in the inactive position as shown figure 3 when the lever (18) is retained under the retractable catch (19), as shown in FIG. figure 2 . You must manually activate the lever (18) to change from "fall arrest” mode to "blocker” mode.
  • the figure 5 is a partial section of the device in "descending" mode, that is to say, when the user is suspended from the rope (1) thanks to the blocking of the device either after a fall or during a rappelling .
  • the fastening hole (28) in the body (2) of the device being above the locking system when the device is in use position for a climb ( Figures 1, 2 , 3 and 4 ), it causes the device to tilt at the rounded end (27) of the friction portion (26) during the locking of the rope (1).
  • the rope (1) is wrapped around the friction portion (26), which increases the friction, facilitates the control of the abseiling and uses less the ropes.
  • the figure 6 is a sectional view showing another embodiment of the pressure member (8), the other parts are not shown for clarity.
  • the pressure member (8) this time articulated at the point (30), pressing on either side of the free weight (7) on the axis (29) by the effort a traction spring (31) thus allowing the free weight (7) to always be in contact with the rope (1).
  • said axis (29) is free to rotate relative to the free weight (7) the latter being a ring having a central hole about three times larger than the diameter of the axis (29).
  • the pressure member (8) has a shape to maintain the axis (29) in a defined position and that said shape is extended by an inclined portion (32) the latter to maintain the axis ( 29) which thus allows the free weight (7) not to touch the inclined bearing surface (6) during the controlled circulation of the rope (1).
  • This embodiment of the pressure member (8) makes the device more reliable because the fact that the pressure member (8) bears on the axis (29) reduces the friction on the pressure member ( 8) and can therefore increase the force of the spring (31) which allows excellent contact of the free weight (7) on the rope (1).
  • the free weight (7) is a ring gear increases the contact sensitivity between the said weight and the rope (1), which makes it possible to accentuate the inclined portion (32) of the said pressure-releasing member and the controlled circulation of the rope (1) and avoiding the inadvertent blocking of the rope.
  • the flyweight free (7) may include an off-center mass to optimize the device as explained above.
