  • the invention relates more specifically to devices allowing a user to be held in a vertical position during the ascent of a vertical cable.
  • harness The professionals working at height as well as the sportsmen in height sports generally protect themselves against the falls by means of a harness, connected to at least a cable.
  • a harness consists of a lap belt, thighs joined on a ventral part and on a dorsal part by means of straps provided for this purpose.
  • this type of harness called harness, mainly closes an area located in the vicinity of the user's pelvis, and is ideal for the use of sports such as climbing.
  • additional straps are provided, for example at the shoulders or sternum of the user.
  • the harness By making it possible to secure itself by attaching itself securely with a cable, the harness provides an essential security for the users moving at great height, but its use is not without drawbacks.
  • such a harness allows a better distribution of the gravity efforts exerted by the user on the harness.
  • the number of compression points a factor in the occurrence of a harness syndrome, is limited for the members of the individual in suspension with the use of such a harness, compared to a harness or harness. conventional without saddles.
  • the duration of suspension without risk of occurrence of a syndrome of the harness is thus increased. Nevertheless, the risk of developing discomfort is not completely eliminated. In addition, nothing prevents a backward tilting of the user if such a situation occurs.
  • Self-locking devices are devices able to slide along one or more cables, surrounded by the self-locking, in one direction, and able to lock on the cable or cables in a second direction.
  • the cables are generally made of vegetable fibers, synthetic fibers or metal wires. Conventionally, the self-locking is achieved by a simple cord surrounding the cable, a part comprising teeth adapted to anchor in the cable, or a device comprising a set of rollers and springs.

  • the first foot 56 rests on the lower side 34 of the stirrup 32 which, according to the illustrated embodiments, has a flat surface larger than the size of a surface of the upper side 35 and lateral sides 36.
  • the user 3 thus has a large and stable support.
  • the stirrup 32 is preferably made of a sufficiently rigid material, not to deform under the weight of the user 3 and its equipment.
  • the first foot 56 of the user 3 is thus not compressed by the deformation of the stirrup 32, which reduces the compression points, for example during a malaise.
  • the user then closes the three means 37 of the stirrup clamp 32 against the first leg 56, so as to secure the first leg 56 to the yoke 32.
  • the risk of separation of the first leg 56 of the yoke 32 which can cause a limb in suspension is thus reduced.
  • the user 3 inserts a second foot 58 of a second leg 59 into a footrest 60.
  • the footrest 60 comprises a stirrup 32 identical to the stirrup 32 of the ascending device 31 .
  • the footrest 60 is secured to a second self-locking 61 disposed on the main cable 2 .
  • the user 3 bases his weight and that of his equipment on his first foot 56.
  • the weight of the user 3 and his equipment is then supported by the first self-locking device 55, by means of the device 31 of ascension, the first self-locking 55 preventing a sliding of the first foot 56 along the main cable 2 .
  • the ascending device 31 transmits the force exerted on the stirrup 32, downwards, to the first self-locking device 55 by means of, according to the second embodiment illustrated on FIGS. Figures 7 and 8 , the holding element 45 and the traction cable 52 , according to the variant of the second embodiment illustrated in FIGS. Figures 9 to 11 .
  • the holding element 45 for the second embodiment, or the towing cable 52 , for the variant of the second embodiment, is thus able to withstand a tensile force, respectively exerted between the first end 46 and the second end 48 or the first end 53 and the second end 54, so as to block the first self-locking 55 and prevent slippage of the ascension device 31 along the main cable 2 .
  • the user 3 then folds his second leg 59, sliding the second self-locking 61, upwards, along the main cable 2 and mount his second foot 58 and the footrest 60, secured to his second foot 58, along of the main cable 2 , as shown on the figure 10 .
  • the user 3 then rest his weight and that of his equipment on his second foot 58.
  • the weight of the user 3 and his equipment is then supported by the second self-locking 61, through the footrest 60, the second self-locking 61 preventing a sliding of the second foot 58 along the main cable 2 .
  • the user 3 then folds his first leg 57, sliding the first self-locking 55, upwards, along the main cable 2 and mount his first foot 56 and the ascension device 31 , integral with his first foot 56, the along the main cable 2 , as shown on the figure 11 .
  • the ascension device 31 transmits the force exerted on the stirrup 32, upwards, to the first self-locking device 55, via the rod 47 of the holding element 45 , integral with the first end 46 and the second end 46. end 48.
  • the rod 47 is thus able to withstand a compressive force exerted between the first end 46 and the second end 48, so as to slide the first self-locking 55 along the main cable 2 .
  • This rigidity combined with the back support means 7 and the retaining means 8 , gives the user 3 a position hold, enabling him to avoid being in a suspension situation, which is favorable for the appearance of a harness syndrome.
  • a third self-locking device is arranged around the main cable 2 or around a belay cable, to prevent a fall of the user 3 if the first self-blocking 55, the second self-blocking 61 or both self-locking 55, 61 no longer provide their function of blocking the main cable 2 .
  • the holding member 45 thus allows a user to climb along a main cable 2 arranged substantially vertically, the user 3 being in a substantially vertical position, the feet 56, 58 directed downwards.
  • the holding member 45 allows a user 3 to mount the first self-locking 55 along the main cable 2 , using only his first foot 56 inserted in the stirrup 32.
  • the holding member 45 also allows a user 3 to climb along the main cable 2 by the sole force of his legs 57, 59 without using his upper limbs.
  • the ascension system 1 has applications in the work of cordists, or mountaineers of the building, cordist-nacellists, and more generally persons performing work at height, for industry, building, public works, events. eg during construction, repair, restoration, cleaning, control or expertise, brushing or cutting trees, installing systems safety or scaffolding, the installation of advertising tarpaulins, or even the work of fumiture, the laying of nets.
  • the ascension system 1 also finds applications in sporting activities, for example climbing, caving, or in shooting activities during sporting events, or shooting in environments with difficult access, for example in cliffs. .
