  • respective fastening means e.g. a chemical anchoring (e.g. a resin) or a mechanical anchoring (e.g. a screw or a plug).
  • the device 1 For the operation of the device 1 and according to the invention, it must be installed, by fastening the fastening portion 7 and 8, on the supporting structure of a roof or on the fixed structure of a building.
  • the configuration of the portions described above which make up the device gives the main body a given deformability in case of strong tensile stress. This results in that, in case of fall of the operator fastened to the device, this stress of impulsive nature is not discharged on a highly stiff structure (which typically reacts with a sudden break or transmits onto the anchoring means of the device such a force as to cause the tear thereof from the fixed structure of the building) but on a main body having a compliance between the fastening portions 7 and 8 and the anchoring portion 3, thus maintaining the integrity of the fastening portions, of the anchoring portion and of the fastening means.
  • the stress causes the yielding of the material which the main body is made of, with subsequent plastic deformation thereof.
  • This corresponds to a change in the shape of the main body due to the absorption of the energy related to the stress.
  • the device described is therefore further able to reduce the tear discharged on the operator's body, when the fall ends, due to the passage of the energy developed during fall to the device.
  • it acts as a shock absorber, expanding the time in which the stress acts and making the tear on the operator less stiff. This time corresponds to the interval in which the main body is plastically deformed.
  • This plastic deformation can typically occur in correspondence of the notch 11 which, during fall, enables the two sub-portions 70 and 80 of the second end 3b of the anchoring portion 3 to get away from one another. Analogously, along the respective segments 97 and 98 the sub-portions 70 and 80 can be folded with respect to the second ends 7b and 8b of the fastening portions 7 and 8, respectively.
  • the notch 11 described above enables to change, by folding the sub-portions 70 and 80 and the second ends 7b and 8b, the configuration of the device, providing a structural pathway between the first end 3a of the anchoring portion 3 (to which the operator is connected) and the first ends 7a and 7b of the fastening portions 7 and 8 (where the device is fastened to the fixed structure of the device) with a variable length as a result of the presence of stresses. Therefore, the spacing apart of the first end 3a of the anchoring portion 3 from the first ends 7a or 7b of the fastening portions 7 and 8 due to stress is re-absorbed by the deformation of the main body without causing tears and/or breaks.
  • the initial end 11a is in rear position with respect to the end segments 97 and 98.
  • the joining point e.g. by welding
  • the joining point allows to define tension for the main body, establishing a limit deformation below which the device does not get deformed. Below this value are the low stresses that are typical of a normal pulling of the device by the operator when working. Beyond this limit stress, depending on the size and type of the joining point, the latter breaks and puts in communication the notch with the respective end segments 97 and 98 and restoring the deformability properties as described above.
  • the installation of the device is concerned, as said above, it is fastened to a supporting structure of the roof or to a fixed structure of the building.
  • the device Typically, if a covering has to be made on the supporting structure of the roof, the device must be installed before carrying out this covering.
  • This covering typically consists of a plurality of covering elements arranged side by side or partially overlapping so as to cover, e.g. totally, the roof surface.
  • the anchoring portion 3, or at least the first end 3a thereof comprising the through hole 13 can protrude from the covering and be available to the operator for anchoring his/her personal protection device, it is necessary that the covering element to lay on the device is provided with a suitable slot, previously made therein, in which the aforesaid anchoring portion, or at least the first end 3a thereof, can get through.
  • the main body is substantially T-shaped.
