Description

Energy absorber assembly

The present invention provides an energy absorber assembly, and more particularly to the technical field in which the energy absorber is directly equipped with a lock.

In the high-altitude environment of rock climbing, mountaineering, construction, etc., it is necessary to wear a safety suit (belt) equipped with a fall arrester, and a fall arrester hanging in the high-altitude environment, causing the person to accidentally fall. When the fall arrester and the safety suit can hang people in the air for later rescue, however, when the person falls, it is easy to pull and hurt due to the reaction force of the fall arrester. Therefore, it must be safe. An energy absorber assembly is installed between the garment and the fall arrester.

According to the prior art of the Energy Absorber Assembly and Components Thereof, as disclosed in US Patent Application Serial No. 13/826,876, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. a bracket assembly coupled to the fastener, and an energy absorber disposed between the connector and the bracket assembly, the connector capable of moving the bracket assembly and the energy absorber up and mounted on the back of the safety suit, When the person moves, the energy absorber is less likely to collide with the waist to improve the traditional inconvenience. However, when the person accidentally falls, the fastener will break first and release the bracket assembly. In this way, the absorption of the energy absorber tears the impact, and the person is safely suspended in the air.

In the prior patent, since the bracket assembly is coupled to the connector by the fastener, the bracket assembly and the connector must be drilled first, and then the lock can be installed in the drilled hole, but the structure is The configuration has the disadvantages of high processing cost and time-consuming assembly.

In view of this, the creator has carefully researched and improved and finally developed this novel.

The present invention provides an energy absorber assembly comprising at least: an energy absorber comprising at least a first portion and a second portion of the overlap, and controlling the formation of the top end portion of the first portion and the second portion Bifurcated, and then further defining a first coupling portion at the first portion of the top edge and a second coupling portion at the top end edge of the second portion; and a locking member that is latched to the bifurcation of the energy absorber a top edge, and when the person falls, the lock can release the energy absorber bifurcation tip edge, and then the energy absorber is pulled along the bifurcation tip edge to further penetrate the first portion and the second portion The overlapping portion can be pulled apart from the top to the bottom to absorb the impact impact.

Therefore, the overall configuration of the present invention can be completed by directly setting the locker in the automatic production line of the energy absorber, and the pre-patent case is disclosed above, in addition to greatly saving manufacturing man-hours and improving assembly efficiency, and achieving economic compliance. The principle and novel function do provide a new and effective solution for the deficiencies of the patent.

Referring to Figures 1 to 4, the present invention includes at least: an energy absorber E composed of at least a first portion 10 and a second portion 20, in particular, a strip fabric upward The second part 20 is formed on one side and the second part 20 is formed on the other side, and the first part 10 and the second part 20 are controlled except for the top edge, and the other areas are sewn through the suture. The first portion 10 and the second portion 20 have a tip end edge that naturally forms a bifurcation shape, and then further defines a first joint portion 11 at the top end edge of the first portion 10, and a second portion The top edge of the portion 20 defines a second coupling portion 21, the first coupling portion 11 is formed with a first ear hole 12, and the second coupling portion 21 is formed with a second ear hole 22, and further, to improve the energy absorber E If the length of the first part 10 and the second part 20 are overlapped, the first part 10 and the second part 20 can be folded into a plurality of layers and then passed through a tie (not shown, the prior art uses plastic) Set of cladding for) positioning; A lock fastener 30, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, may be a plastic collar around the first ear hole 12 and the second ear hole 22 for holding the first joint portion 11 and the second joint portion 21 side by side. And further, the energy absorber 10 is blocked from the bifurcated top edge. Further, the fastener 30 can also be a seam that can be sewn to the first ear hole 12 and the second ear hole 22 as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the plastic collar around the outer periphery of the lower edge of the first coupling portion 11 and the second coupling portion 21, in other words, the locking member 30 only needs to be able to lock the energy absorber 10. a bifurcated tip edge, which is the novel; a buckle 40 operatively coupled between the first attachment portion 11 and the safety garment (tape); and a fall arrester 50 operatively coupled thereto In the lifting lug 51 of the second coupling portion 21, the fall arrester 50 further pulls out a steel cable 52, and a hook 53 which can be hung in an aerial environment is installed at the free end of the steel cable 52.

As shown in Figures 3 and 4, in the implementation of the present invention, the lock 30 can move the fall arrester 50 and the energy absorber E up to the buckle 40 on the back of the safety garment, so that the energy absorber E can be The bottom end does not always collide with the waist, but if a person falls, a predetermined load is first applied to destroy the lock 30, thereby releasing the energy absorber E bifurcation tip edge, followed by traction energy absorption. The device E breaks the knot and smoothly spreads, and then pulls along the top end edge of the energy absorber E, so that the first portion 10 and the second portion 20 can be torn apart from the top to the bottom. It is used to absorb the impact of the person's fall, and then to cushion the safety of the person in the air.

According to the above structure and implementation description, the present invention only needs to provide the lock 30 directly on the tip end edge of the energy absorber E in the automatic production line of the energy absorber E, and then cooperate with the external fall arrester 50 and the buckle 40. A more complete energy absorber assembly can be modularized, which naturally requires drilling holes in the bracket assembly and the connector, and installing the lock in the borehole is more convenient and quick. It is indeed in line with the economic benefits of the revolutionary high degree of creative and economic benefits that make production more efficient and efficient.

In summary, the new model completely breaks through the overall structural characteristics of the patent before the reform, and can be said to be unprecedented in the existing structure, and has the excellent progress of reducing the processing cost and improving the assembly efficiency, so it is in line with the new type. Patent application requirements. However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and the equivalent variations and modifications made by the scope of the present invention are all within the scope of the present invention. .
