Definitions

  • the invention relates to a self-locking rope insurance device, which can serve as a descender or to ensure a climber.
  • a self-locking rope insurance device which can serve as a descender or to ensure a climber.
  • Such a device is intended to lock on the rope automatically as soon as the rope is under tension. If the user wants to scroll the rope, he must intervene manually on a lever.
  • the figure 1 represents partially and in situation a conventional self-locking device, as described in the patent EP0398819 .
  • the device comprises a pair of pulleys 12, 14 housed between two parallel flanges, of which only one 18 is shown, hereinafter referred to as the base flange.
  • the first pulley 12 is rotatably mounted by means of a fixing member 22 on the base flange 18.
  • the pulley 12 is equipped with a circular upper sector having a guide groove of the rope 26, and a braking surface 28, located opposite the second pulley 14.
  • the braking surface 28 is substantially flat.
  • the second pulley 14 is secured to a support plate 30 mounted to pivot about an axis 32 of the flange 18.
  • the pulley 14 is cam-shaped, which is eccentric relative to the pivot axis 32.
  • This cam 14 has a circular lower sector having a groove 34 for winding the rope 26, this groove 34 being centered on a fictitious axis slightly opposed to the axis 32.
  • a wedge 36 intended to wedge the rope 26 against the braking surface 28, when the support plate 30 rotates clockwise under the effect of the tension of the rope and the friction force of the latter on the cam 14.
  • the surface 38 is substantially flat, and is further away from the axis 32 as the surface 40.
  • the position of the axis 32 of the cam 14 is such that the wedge 36 never comes into engagement with the braking surface 28 of the pulley 12.
  • the plate 30 pivots until the first and second surfaces 28, 38 are found facing each other, parallel to each other. one to another, and wedge the rope 26. This position occurs during a fall of the user.
  • the bottom portion of the base flange 18 is provided with an opening 48 to which can be hung a carabiner (not shown).
  • a control lever 58 is associated with the support plate 30 to rotate, by a manual action, the cam 14 about the axis 32, from a locking position to an unlocking position.
  • the control lever 58 is articulated on the plate 30 in an axis 60 located opposite the axis 32 relative to the groove 34, and cooperates with a return spring 62 which biases the lever 58 to a rest position in alignment with the axes 32 and 60.
  • the working position of the lever 58 is illustrated in dashed line on the figure 1 , and is obtained by lowering the lever 58 counter-clockwise, against the restoring force of the spring 62.
  • the device In operation, the device is fixed to a user by a carabiner passing through the opening 48, and the rope exiting the device through the cam 14 is under tension, for example under the weight of the user when the device is used downhill .
  • This tension causes the plate 30 and the cam 14 to pivot in the clockwise directions and the progressive jamming of the rope between the wedge 36 and the surface 28 without any other action by the user. If the user wants to continue his progress, he must manually loosen the rope by pulling the control lever 58 counterclockwise.
  • the useful range of the braking positions is in a low clearance of the lever 58, so that the user has difficulty finding the braking position that suits him, allowing him to progress continuously at the speed desired.
  • the effort required to pass the cam 14 from the locked position to a position where the rope can begin to scroll is significantly more important than the effort required to modulate the braking on a rope that runs. As a result, the user progresses jerkily while constantly seeking the correct position between the locked position and the free position.
  • a self-locking rope insurance device comprising a flange having a braking surface secured to the flange, a cam articulated on the flange to clamp the rope against the braking surface when the rope is under tension, and a lever articulated on the cam being movable between a folded rest position and an active position, to cause a progressive release of the rope by a manual action on the lever.
  • the lever comprises a support coming into contact against a stop of the flange substantially between the axes of articulation of the cam and the lever when the lever is turned from its rest position to its active position, such as the Actuation of the lever on the cam is effected with an effect multiplied in an initial part of its release stroke, and with a direct effect in a final part of its stroke.
  • the figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of an embodiment of insurance device for fine regulation of the speed of travel of the rope.
  • elements having the same functions as those of the classical device of the figure 1 , designated by the same references, even if they are sometimes of different shapes.
  • flange 18 serves as a reference piece for mounting the other elements.
  • the cam 14 and the plate 30 form a single piece hinged about the axis 32. This single piece will hereinafter be designated by the cam 14.
  • the lever 58 articulated on the cam 14 by the axis 60, is shown in the rest position, folded to conform to the overall contour of the device.
  • the base of the lever 58 on the opposite side to a handle portion, is provided with a lug 100 parallel to the axis 60.
  • the lug 100 In the rest position shown of the lever, the lug 100 is located on the opposite side to the axis 32 relative to the axis 60.
  • This lug 100 extends downwardly and exceeds the upper plane of the flange 18.
  • the flange 18 is hollowed out in 102 to allow the passage of the lug 100 over most of the stroke of the lever 58 between its rest position and its unfolded active position.
  • the flange 18 has a stop 104 ending the recess 102, against which the lug 100 bears when the lever 58 is unfolded to its active position, as will be described in more detail using the figure 4a .
  • this lug In order to limit the matting of the flange 18 by the lug 100 at the recess 102, this lug is surrounded by a ring 106 of internal diameter greater than the diameter of the lug. This ring is floating and, in order to hold it in place, it is guided in a groove formed by the wall of the recess 102 and upstanding walls of the cam 14.
  • the fixed pulley 12 of the figure 1 is replaced by a part 12 held by the shaft 22 and having the braking surface 28.
  • the part 12 is immobilized in rotation by a tongue 12-1 penetrating into a notch 18-1 of the flange 18.
  • the axes 22 and 32 are shown disconnected from the flange 18 for reasons of visibility. In normal configuration, these axes 22 and 32 are integral with the flange 18.
  • a second flange 20 serves to close the device and keep the rope in place. It is articulated on the flange 18 by the axis 22 to allow the withdrawal and the establishment of the rope. It is held in the closed position by a carabiner (not shown) inserted through the orifice 48 of the flange 18 and a conjugate orifice 50 of the flange 20.
  • a molded resin shape 108 fills the unused empty space between the flanges 18 and 20 and provides protection for the mechanism.
  • the figure 3 represents a front view of the device of the figure 2 with a rope 26 installed, in its locking position. A portion of the lever 58 and the flange 18 is not shown to make visible the way the cam 14 acts on the rope 26.
  • the cam 14 has substantially the shape of the cam of the figure 1 . It comprises in particular a wedge portion 36 used to wedge the rope against the braking surface 28.
  • the rope 26 enters the device from the right, passes under the cam 14, and leaves left between the wedge 36 and the braking surface 28.
  • the device is hooked to a user by a carabiner (not shown) passing through port 48.
  • the right side of the rope is under tension, either by the weight of the user when using the device descender, or by the traction exerted by a person to ensure climbing. This tension biases the cam 14 anti-clockwise about the axis 32, whereby the wedge 36 tightens the rope against the braking surface 28 the stronger the voltage is important.
  • the user To exit this locking position, the user must rotate the cam 14 clockwise about the axis 32, to move the corner 36 of the braking surface 28. To do this, it pulls the lever 58 after unfolding it clockwise around the axis 60.
  • the figure 4a represents the device of the figure 3 , with the lever 58 unfolded to a position where can begin the biasing of the cam 14 for unlocking. A portion of the lever 58 is not shown to see the position of the lug 100. It also shows the ring 106 surrounding the lug.
  • the lug 100 bears against the abutment 104 of the flange 18 between the axes 32 and 60 of the cam and the lever. From this position, if the user pulls the lever clockwise, the cam 14 is biased clockwise with a reduced effort compared to a conventional arrangement of the lever.
  • the reduction factor is equal to the ratio of the distance between the lug 100 and the center of the handle portion of the lever, the distance between the lug 100 and the axis 60.
  • the figure 4b represents the device of the figure 3 in a release position, obtained when the user continues to pull the lever clockwise from the position of the figure 4a .
  • the lug 100 disengages from the stop 104 and bears against a wall of the cam 14, as shown in FIG. figure 4b .
  • the lever 58 is then in an end position unfolded on the cam 14 and is found in a conventional lever configuration, without reduction. The displacement of the cam 14 is then fast.
  • the figure 5 represents another embodiment of the insurance device, including cooperating parts between the lever 58 and the flange 18 to ensure the reduction at the start of the release stroke of the cam 14.
  • the flange 18 no longer comprises the groove 102 terminated by an abutment face 104. Instead, the flange comprises a stud 104 'perpendicular to the plane of the flange, disposed substantially at the same location as the abutment wall 104 of the preceding figures .
  • the lever 58 no longer has the lug 100. Instead it has a spout 100 'substantially at the same location as the lug 100 of the previous figures.
  • the spout 100 ' is arranged to come into contact with the pin 104' between the axes 32 and 60 when the lever 58 is unfolded towards its active position, shown in FIG. figure 5 , where can begin the displacement of the cam 14 with reduction.
  • the cam 14 is driven directly by the lever 58 over the remainder of its stroke.
  • This is provided by a key 60-1 of the axis 60 disposed in an enlarged groove 58-1 of the lever.
  • the key 60-1 and the groove 58-1 are configured so that the key is driven by a wall of the groove as the spout 100 'disengages from the stud 104'.
