Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fall arrest safety harness and a method of operation.
  • This safety harness includes a power dissipator in the event of a fall arrest. It has applications in the field of safety and fall protection.
  • Safety harnesses are equipment worn by users and intended to hold them in case of a fall, the user being hooked through the harness to a fall arrest system.
  • fall arrest system a cable or rope, usually attached to a building or the like. It is often a lifeline but unlike the usual meaning of the lifeline, the fall arrest system can have any orientation, it can be horizontal, vertical or inclined.
  • the EN361 standard indicates that the user, after a fall, must remain hooked with an angle of the upper part of the body less than 50 ° relative to the vertical. The user must not be able to switch too strongly and risk ending upside down, when it is held back after a fall.
  • the user's center of gravity is near or above the umbilical attachment means, towards the upper part of the user and, in the event of a fall, the user will have a tendency to tilt, the upper part of the user being found downwards, therefore at an angle greater than 50 °.
  • the attachment means moves upward up the user in the event of a fall to a predetermined final height where the means of snagging, in the final position, stops.
  • the center of gravity of the person is found below the final position of the attachment means which limits the possibilities of tilting of the user.
  • the final position of the attachment means is in the sternal position, see above the head of the user.
  • the fixing means used to fix the attachment means on the harness comprises a means for dissipating energy during the fall, in the form of seams which gradually give way when stopping the fall.
  • the connection comprises a first low-resistance fixing means R1 that can yield in the event of a fall, R1 being less than the force experienced by said means during a fall of the user equipped with the harness, and a second high resistance fixing means R2 not yielding in the event of a fall, R2 being greater than the force experienced by said means during a fall of the user equipped with the harness, the fastening means being seams of straps, so that the initially low hooking means, in the umbilical position, moves upwards of the user when he is subjected to a traction force such that the first fixing means gives way and this, to a final position of said attachment means where the latter remains blocked due to the resistance of the second fastening means.
  • the breaking of the first low-resistance fastening means therefore causes the attachment means to move relative to the user's center of gravity.
  • the invention relates to a method of producing and operating an energy dissipating safety harness, said harness consisting of an assembly of straps intended to be passed around the body of a body. user with at least two straps of straps passing respectively on the right shoulder and the left shoulder of the user and each descending substantially vertically laterally on the right front and left respectively of the user in front portions of straps, said harness having a means of attachment to a fall arrest system.
  • a hooking means which is umbilical, said umbilical attachment means being arranged in abdominal center position and being fixed from below upwards for a first part of a detachably on the harness and for a second part in a fixed manner on said harness, in the first removable part the hooking means moving only when it is subjected to a tensile force greater than a predetermined release threshold and in the second part fixes the attachment means remaining retained after having moved so that when the user undergoes a fall submitting the initially umbilical attachment means to a traction force greater than the trigger threshold, said hooking means moves and can go up the user to a final position of said attachment means where it remains blocked.
  • a safety harness 1 the means for passing the umbilical attachment means to a higher position, implements seams between straps, said seams releasing / giving in when a fall arrest.
  • a means is used which makes it possible, following a fall, to lengthen a retaining strap comprising a fastening means. More specifically, a normally and initially abdominal retaining strap 2 for creating an umbilical attachment means disengages from the straps of the harness straps when the seams drop / yield, which causes a displacement of the attachment means which, because of the upward pull on the retaining strap due to the fall of the user, is moved upwards and preferably in at least sternal position, see above still.
  • a user who is here a test manikin, wears a safety harness 1 which has straps passing on both shoulders and formed of straps of straps.
  • the precise type of harness and its structure are characteristics that may vary according to the applications of the invention. However in the example given, there must be seams between the harness straps and the retaining strap 2. The latter is normally and initially (before a fall blowing the seams) arranged to extend into abdominal part horizontally to be able to place the means of attachment 5 median which is then umbilical.
  • the fastening means 5 of the retaining strap conventionally implements a metal ring allowing attachment to a fall arrest system as better visible on the Figures 2 and 3 .
  • the harness of this example has in addition a lap belt 6 but the latter is independent of the attachment means and the retaining strap.
  • seams of the first part 3 may give way in case of a fall
  • the retaining strap 2 may be an attached and sewn strap on the harness or be a strap extension (s) of this harness according to the embodiment.
  • the attachment means 5 which was initially umbilical, moves to a higher position as visible Figure 4 .
  • the harness - retaining strap assembly may include (in addition to seams between suspender and retaining straps - first-party seams) or match only (no seam yielding between straps of straps and retaining) to folds of the retaining strap, on each side of the attachment means, folds which are sewn together with a seam that can yield (sewing type of first part) in case of a fall, these folds not being sewn to the shoulder straps.
  • the invention may alternatively, see in combination, include a means that causes a displacement of the attachment means along the strap (s) without necessarily a lengthening strap (s).
