  • the lanyard 2 does not slide, and the safety strand 6 is in tension and ensures an attachment of an object to the anchor ring safely.
  • the soft strand 7 may or may not be attached to the object because the latter is not put in tension.
  • the rotation of the body 3 of the blocker 1 allows the passage between the locking position and the unlocking position and vice versa.
