Definitions

  • the invention relates to a descending blocker device for rope ascending and descending, comprising a body having attachment means intended to be connected to the user's shoulder belt, and a blocking device that can be unlocked under load.
  • Such a safety device is used by landscapers for pruning work, or for all types of work at height.
  • Prusik knot is formed by a rope wrapped around the main rope.
  • the descent is achieved by placing your hand on the top of the Prusik knot.
  • the action of the hand down makes it possible to control the speed of descent. If you remove your hand, the knot re-locks.
  • there is early wear of the cord which requires frequent replacement of the Prusik node to ensure safety.
  • Another disadvantage is that of the moisture of the rope and cord in case of rain, which can change the stress of unlocking the Prusik knot.
  • the document US 6382355 (Kowalewski) relates to a locking device for raising and lowering rope, in which the locking is effected by pinching the rope created by a pivoting movement of a cam which presses the rope against the body of the apparatus.
  • the unlocking is effected by means of a knot cord or an auxiliary lever so as to rotate the body of the device to loosen the rope.
  • premature wear of the aluminum cam a lack of progressivity on the descent, and a difficulty in positioning the rope which requires prior disassembly of the shaft and the cam.
  • the unit can only be used with a double rope with rope return.
  • the document FR 2409765 discloses a rope chute comprising three parts hinged together by hinges, each bar-shaped piece being pierced with a hole for the passage of the rope.
  • the lower piece is attached to the harness.
  • the locking position is obtained when all three parts are vertically drawn.
  • a lever is mounted at the free end of the lower part to control the speed of descent. Ascent up the rope is not possible with this unit. It is only a descender.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a self-locking descender device, easy to maneuver at the ascent and descent, and can be unlocked under load with a moderate effort regardless of the moisture content of the rope.
  • the blockage thus starts from the upper link, then is transmitted downwards with the formation of a multitude of friction that amplify to the lower link articulated to the body.
  • the user remains immobilized on the rope thanks to the self-locking effect of the device. Unblocking can intervene in charge, thanks to a manual action on the upper link. In case of relaxation of the support action on the upper link, the blocking device becomes active automatically under the weight of the user.
  • a descending blocking device 10 for raising and lowering on rope, comprises a metal body 11 formed for example by two parallel flanges 12, 13 spaced apart from one another by spacers 14.
  • One of the EX1 ends of the body 11 is provided with a bracket 15 having a first hole 16 for hooking a first carabiner 17, which is intended to be connected to the shoulder (not shown) of the user.
  • the other end EX2 of the body 11 is equipped with a chain of metal links 18, constituted by a succession of friction elements 19 hinged together.
  • This chain of links 18 is arranged outside the body 11.
  • the friction elements 19 have identical structures in the form of diabolos 20 articulated together by link rods 21.
  • the diabolos 20 are parallel to each other, and extend in directions perpendicular to the flanges 12, 13, so as to form a series of intervals 22 for the passage of the rope 23.
  • the rope 23 crosses in zigzag the successive intervals 22 of the chain of links 18 coming into contact with each of the diabolos 20. Two successive diabolos are thus positioned on both sides of the rope 23. In the presence of the rope 23, this chain of links 18 constitutes the device blocking device.
  • the passage zigzag of the rope 23 in the intervals 22 of the chain of links 18 creates a plurality of friction of the rope on the diabolos 20.
  • the upper link 24 at the free end of the chain 18 is advantageously provided with means to initiate the blockage, thanks to the friction of his diabolo 20 on the rope 23.
  • the priming means comprise a spring 25, in particular a torsion spring, biasing the spacing of the two pairs of link rods 21 causing the upper diabolo 20 to come into contact with the rope 23.
  • the torsion spring 25 is threaded on the pivot axis 26 of the upper link 24.
  • the two opposite ends of the spring 25 are supported on abutments 27, 28 provided on the same side on the last and the last but one of the links 21.
  • the friction of the rope 23 on the upper link 24 is generated by a jumper 29 in U flanking the upper diabolo 20, so as to rub against the rope.
  • the inner faces of the jumper 29 comprise for example ribs 30, or may be made or coated with a suitable material, in particular based on rubber or rubber.
  • the combination of a spring and a jumper can also be provided for the initiation of the blockage.
  • the attachment lug 15 has a second hole 31 for hooking the end of the rope by means of a second carabiner 32.
  • This use in double rope allows the rope 23 to pass around a return 33 located 10
  • This reference 33 may consist of a branch of a tree, or a ring or a pulley.
  • the rope 23 is thus wound up in an inverted U by being hooked to the attachment lug 15 of the apparatus 10.
  • the rope 23 passes through the chain of links 18, and then the space between the flanges 12, 13 of the body 11.
  • a pulley 34 is mounted for free rotation between the flanges 12, 13 at the end EX2 of the body 11 to promote upward reversion.
  • the blocking of the apparatus 10 starts on the upper link 24 thanks to the friction of its diabolo 20 on the rope 23 following the action of the spring 25.
  • the user applies his weight down of the body 11.
  • the upper link 24 being fixed, the set of links of the other friction elements 19 pivot about the axes 26 of their respective diabolos 20 with spacing their link rods 21.
  • the user thus remains immobilized on the rope 23, thanks to the self-locking effect of the device 10.
  • the release can intervene in charge, just press the upper link 24 to trigger the release of the blocker. It is then possible to descend along the rope 23, with a controlled and progressive speed. This release persists as long as the manual action of support on the upper link 24 is maintained. In case of relaxation of the action of support on the upper link 24, the blocker becomes active by locking itself automatically under the weight of the user.
  • the blocker For the ascent towards the return 33, the blocker must be unlocked, and it is sufficient for the user to pull on the free bottom run of the rope 23 in the direction of the arrow F1 ( figure 5 ).
  • the presence of the pulley 34 facilitates this upward movement or upward movement.
  • the means for initiating the locking at the upper part of the chain of links 18 comprise a first pallet 50 articulated on the axis 26 of the upper link, and a second pallet 51 articulated on the axis 26 of the penultimate link.
  • Each of the two pallets 50, 51 has an orifice 52, 53 for the zig-zag passage of the rope 23.
  • Such a combination of the two pallets 50, 51 makes it possible to pull the chain of links 18 firmly upwards ( Figures 9 to 11 ) and adapts better to different rope diameters.
  • the unblocking occurs as on the realization of Figures 4 and 5 pressing the first upper pallet 50, causing the release of the blocker.
