Description

Dispositivo de seguridad para vías con cuerdas fijas o similares.Safety device for rope tracks fixed or similar.

La presente invención se refiere a una herramienta para la seguridad de los alpinistas al desplazarse a lo largo de vías con cuerdas fijas o, en general, usuarios que es probable que caigan al desplazarse a lo largo de una trayectoria en la que se proporciona una cuerda de seguridad fija, tal como en los llamados parques de aventura.The present invention relates to a tool for mountaineers' safety when traveling to long track with fixed ropes or, in general, users that is likely to fall as they travel along a path in which is provided with a fixed safety rope, as in the called adventure parks.

Esta herramienta, que es conocida en sí misma, consiste esencialmente en un elemento de conexión por lo general metálico y a modo de placa, al que se acopla una cuerda adecuada para sujetarse al usuario, así como un par de cuerdas o cinturones que se unen a la cuerda fija por medio de mosquetones. El elemento de conexión normalmente es en forma de un llamado disipador (screamer), que disipa la energía de una posible caída frenando la cuerda sujeta al usuario, a la que se hace seguir una trayectoria sinuosa y frenada a través del mismo. Un dispositivo de este tipo se da a conocer en el documento US 5 947 229.This tool, which is known in itself, consists essentially of a generally metallic and plate-like connection element, to which a suitable rope is attached to attach to the user, as well as a pair of ropes or belts that are attached to the fixed rope by means of carabiners. The connection element is normally in the form of a so-called heatsink ( screamer ), which dissipates the energy of a possible fall by braking the rope attached to the user, which is followed by a sinuous and braked path through it. Such a device is disclosed in US 5 947 229.

El elemento de conexión, o disipador, se engancha entonces a los extremos de dos cinturones o cuerdas, cuyos otros extremos libres pueden unirse por medio de mosquetones a la cuerda fija o similar.The connecting element, or heatsink, is then hooks to the ends of two belts or ropes, whose other free ends can be attached by means of carabiners to the fixed rope or similar.

El alpinista, o bien el usuario, a medida que avanza a lo largo de la cuerda fija, quita el mosquetón de cinturón aguas arriba de la misma, con el fin de unir el mismo aguas abajo respecto al otro, y así sucesivamente, de manera secuencial y progresiva.The mountaineer, or the user, as move along the fixed rope, remove the belt carabiner upstream of it, in order to join the same downstream with respect to the other, and so on, sequentially and progressive

Durante este procedimiento, escaladores menos experimentados tienden a cruzar los dos cinturones uno respecto al otro, reduciendo de este modo cada vez más la longitud disponible y tienden a disponer los cinturones en una condición de seguridad no óptima.During this procedure, climbers less experienced tend to cross the two belts one relative to another, thus reducing the available length more and more tend to place the belts in a safety condition not optimal

La presente invención se refiere a una herramienta del tipo y para los usos previstos, en la que el inconveniente mencionado anteriormente no se produce, o bien se reduce considerablemente en la medida que no interfiere con las condiciones de seguridad.The present invention relates to a tool of the type and for the intended uses, in which the inconvenience mentioned above does not occur, or else reduces considerably to the extent that it does not interfere with the security conditions.

En la técnica se conocen varias clases de dispositivos de seguridad, sin embargo no son adecuadas para desplazarse a lo largo de una trayectoria con cuerdas de seguridad fijas. El documento US-A-5.771993 da a conocer un dispositivo de seguridad de este tipo diseñado para usarse como una cuerda salvavidas autorretráctil para trabajadores, para evitar su caída libre desde una altura considerable. Las figuras 7A y 7B muestran una realización de dicho dispositivo de seguridad que comprende medios para indicar si la cuerda salvavidas retráctil ha sido sometida a fuerzas de supresión de caídas para usarse con materiales relativamente anchos, planos, flexibles, de cuerdas salvavidas. El dispositivo comprende un elemento de conexión (un elemento de sujeción: un gancho) entre una cuerda, que es adecuada para sujetarse al usuario y un cinturón que no tiene extremos libres, ya que un extremo se fija a dicho elemento de sujeción a través de la formación de un lazo y el cosido de dicho extremo libre al cinturón que pasa a través de dicho medio de indicación, mientras que el otro extremo libre de dicha cuerda salvavidas forma otro lazo.Several kinds of safety devices, however, are not suitable for move along a path with safety ropes fixed. US-A-5,77793 gives to know a security device of this type designed to be used as a self-retracting lifeline for workers, to prevent its free fall from a considerable height. The Figures 7A and 7B show an embodiment of said device of security that includes means to indicate if the lifeline retractable has been subjected to fall suppression forces to be used with relatively wide, flat, flexible materials of life ropes The device comprises a connection element (a fastener: a hook) between a rope, which is suitable for attaching to the user and a belt that does not have free ends, since one end is fixed to said element of fastening through the formation of a loop and sewing of said free end to the belt that passes through said means of indication, while the other free end of said rope Lifeguard forms another loop.

La presente invención se refiere a una herramienta definida en las reivindicaciones adjuntas.The present invention relates to a tool defined in the appended claims.

A continuación se describirá la invención con referencia a una realización preferida de la misma, que se ilustra a modo de ejemplo en los dibujos adjuntos, en los que:The invention will now be described with reference to a preferred embodiment thereof, illustrated by as an example in the attached drawings, in which:

- la figura 1 es una vista en perspectiva de la herramienta según la invención.- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the tool according to the invention.

- la figura 2 es una vista en perspectiva detallada del disipador;- Figure 2 is a perspective view heatsink detailed;

- la figura 3 es una vista en perspectiva detallada del disipador a 90º con respecto a la figura 2.- Figure 3 is a perspective view Detailed of the heatsink at 90º with respect to figure 2.

En referencia en primer lugar a la figura 1, la herramienta 10, como se ilustra a modo de ejemplo, es una herramienta para la seguridad de alpinistas en vías de cuerda fija y, esencialmente, consiste en una cuerda 12 de seguridad, que puede sujetarse en 14 al escalador, cuerda 12 que se pasa a través de un elemento de conexión, que en este caso es en forma de un llamado disipador 16. Como puede verse en las figuras 2 y 3 con mayor detalle, se hace pasar la cuerda 12, siguiendo una trayectoria sinuosa, a través de las aberturas 18, 20 y 22 que se proporcionan en el cuerpo del disipador 16, de manera que apenas puede deslizarse en su interior, frenando así al escalador en caso de una caída.Referring first to Figure 1, the tool 10, as illustrated by way of example, is a tool for the safety of mountaineers on fixed rope tracks and essentially consists of a safety rope 12, which can hold on 14 to the climber, rope 12 that is passed through a connection element, which in this case is in the form of a call heatsink 16. As can be seen in Figures 2 and 3 with greater detail, the rope 12 is passed, following a path sinuous, through the openings 18, 20 and 22 provided in the body of the heatsink 16, so that it can barely slip inside, thus stopping the climber in case of a fall.

Dos cinturones 24 y 26 se fijan entonces al cuerpo del disipador 16, estando dotados los extremos libres de dichos cinturones de mosquetones 28 y 30 para su unión a la cuerda fija. A medida que el escalador avanza a lo largo de esta última, libera el mosquetón aguas arriba y lo vuelve a unir aguas abajo del mosquetón que se ha mantenido en su posición.Two belts 24 and 26 are then fixed to the heatsink body 16, the free ends being provided with said carabiner belts 28 and 30 for attachment to the rope fixed. As the climber advances along the latter, releases the carabiner upstream and joins it back downstream of the Carabiner that has remained in position.

Para evitar que los cinturones 24 y 26 puedan cruzarse, según la invención, estos últimos se sujetan al disipador 16, de tal manera que un cinturón puede girar con respecto al otro. En mayor detalle, como puede verse en la figura 2 y 3, el cuerpo del disipador 16 lleva un pasador 32 que sostiene una hebilla 34 montada de manera giratoria respecto al eje del mismo. La hebilla 34 aloja, a su vez, por medio de un pasador 36, los extremos de los cinturones 24 y 26 que se sujetan entre sí en forma de una abertura de paso en 38.To prevent belts 24 and 26 from being able to cross, according to the invention, the latter are attached to the heatsink 16, such that one belt can rotate with respect to the other. In greater detail, as can be seen in Figure 2 and 3, the body of the heatsink 16 carries a pin 32 that holds a buckle 34 mounted in a rotating manner with respect to its axis. Buckle 34 houses, in turn, by means of a pin 36, the ends of the belts 24 and 26 that are held together in the form of a passage opening in 38.

De este modo, si el alpinista cruza los cinturones 24 y 26 al avanzar, esto no provoca problemas, porque los cinturones se vuelven a alinear por medio de la rotación de la ranura 38 y la abrazadera 34 alrededor de la espiga 32.Thus, if the climber crosses the belts 24 and 26 when moving forward, this does not cause problems, because the belts are re-aligned by rotating the slot 38 and clamp 34 around pin 32.
