Definitions
- the invention relates to a fall protection and at the same time a climbing aid for climbing masts, trees and the like, the climbing a tree, mast or the like. relieved and at the same time serves as effective protection against a fall.
- the person In the event that the climbing aids slide off the mast or become disengaged from the mast for any other reason, the person is at least temporarily dependent on the tether to prevent a fall. If the tether slides, there is a possibility that the person in question will fall off the mast and suffer serious injuries. But even if the tether as Safety device is effective, the person in question is pulled to the mast by the tether, which often results in serious facial injuries.
- German utility model DE-GM 83 12 558 describes a safety device in which two tethers can be used alternately. Although this is an additional safeguard when an obstacle on the mast or boom, such as a cable lead or a side branch, has to be climbed, the fundamental problem of sliding off remains.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a simple and inexpensive climbing aid and fall protection for climbing masts, trees and the like, which on the one hand climbing a mast, tree or the like. facilitated by a person, but on the other hand represents an effective fall protection device for the person, which is effective immediately when the person slides, but at the same time is light and simple and therefore does not prevent climbing.
- the tether is supplemented by a connecting element which is located on the mast, tree or the like but not in a sector of the circumference of the mast, tree or the like, which is directly facing the person climbing, the leadership of Holding rope now runs so that it runs from a first attachment to the person's safety harness to the rear through a first rope enclosure of the connecting element, from there again to the front, along a substantial part of the circumference of the mast, tree or the like, then back again back to the connecting element, through a further cable enclosure of this connecting element through to the front again for a second attachment to the person's safety harness.
- the invention also acts as a fall protection device when the person climbing, for example after a power accident, is passed out.
- the holding force of the fall protection and climbing aid according to the invention is particularly high because the mast, tree or the like is almost completely wrapped in the tether.
- the holding force of the fall protection and climbing aid according to the invention is considerably greater than in known arrangements (such as that in US Pat. No. 2,879,830) in which only a part of the circumference is wrapped around and additionally engage thorns or spikes in the mast.
- the fall device and climbing aid according to the invention is particularly simple and light and inexpensive to manufacture.
- the invention can be used as a climbing aid by the climbing person pushing the loop formed from the tether and connecting element upwards, locking it with a short tensile load and then pulling it upwards.
- the force acting on the legs is advantageously reduced.
- the connecting element is designed such that at least one of its cable enclosures can be opened in such a way that the tether can be removed from the cable enclosure.
- the closed circle can then be opened briefly in order to simply climb over obstacles on the mast, tree or the like. With small obstacles, on the other hand, it is enough to relieve the tether and to enlarge the loop formed by the tether and the connecting element and to move past the obstacle.
- Fig. 1 is a fall protection and climbing aid according to the invention with a connecting element with two rope enclosures
- FIG. 3 shows a connecting element formed from a rope with two rope enclosures, which in the case of a fall protection and climbing aid according to the invention
- Fig. 4 is a fall protection and climbing aid according to the invention, in which the shear forces on this are reduced by a special shape of the connecting element.
- Safety harness is an instrument that, in particular in the event of the climbing person's fall making a secure connection to their body. In the simplest case, it is a waist belt or a belt. Further possible embodiments of such safety harnesses are known to the person skilled in the art. Also for the sake of clarity, the drawings are not to scale, but the tether is shortened and the mast is rather too small.
- the tether HS runs from a first attachment BF1 to the safety harness - in the drawing a snap hook that can be hung in an eyelet of the safety harness is shown - along the mast M to one the connecting element V which faces away from the person.
- a conventional snap hook is used as the connecting element V in this embodiment.
- the holding rope HS is now first passed through a first rope enclosure of the connecting element oil, in this case the fastening eye of the snap hook. Thereafter, the tether HS runs further along the circumference of the mast M to the front, back again to the side of the mast M facing away from the climbing person, up to a second cable enclosure 02 of the connecting element V, in this case the locking eye of the snap hook.
- the tether HS is led back through this locking eye to the safety harness and attached to it with a second attachment BF2, in the case shown an eye splice.
- a second attachment BF2 in the case shown an eye splice.
- Other releasable or non-releasable fastenings are known to the person skilled in the art and need not be discussed here.
- the tether HS must be somewhat longer in the invention.
- the connecting element V shown in FIG. 1, namely the snap hook, has a rope enclosure 02 with the locking eye, which can be opened. This allows the tether HS to be removed and the closed circuit formed by tether HS and closure element V to be separated and thus climb obstacles more easily. If this is not necessary, it is of course also possible to use a completely closed connecting element — in analogy to FIG. 1, for example, a double ring designed in the form of an eight.
- the connecting element V does not contain two separate cable enclosures as in FIG. 1, but only a single ⁇ .
- the connecting element shown in FIG. 2 is a modified snap hook, in which the fastening eye has been dispensed with and instead the locking eye has been made larger and symmetrical.
- the tether HS is passed twice through the same rope enclosure ⁇ . This has the advantage that the connecting element V can be designed somewhat smaller, which increases the wrap angle of the holding rope HS and improves the adhesion.
- both sides of the tether HS can be removed from the rope enclosure ⁇ for climbing over obstacles, which makes handling easier.
- the rope enclosure ⁇ is again evident. If this is not necessary, a closed rope enclosure, for example a metal ring, can replace the snap hook. It is also possible that the rope enclosure or rope enclosures have a non-closable opening from the outset, for example, a metal ring that is not completely closed (a rope enclosure) or a connecting element designed like a small Greek letter Omega (two rope enclosures). As long as the openings point upwards when climbing the mast, the tether HS cannot fall out of the connection even in the event of a fall. Release element V. However, the openings of the rope enclosures should be designed as small as possible (if possible not larger than a rope thickness).
- the connecting element shown in FIG. 2 has teeth RE on the side facing the mast as elements which increase the friction with the mast. Whether you attach such elements is a matter of balance.
- the improved friction is offset by an increased risk of injury and the risk of greater damage to the mast surface.
- the connecting element V therefore has a surface coating or design that reduces the static and / or sliding friction. If the connecting element is made of aluminum, for example, the surface can be anodized, for steel a thin coating with carbon can be used. This can also be advantageously combined with a color code, which is recommended since the connecting element is part of a safety device.
- the connecting element V is not rigid, but flexible. In the simplest case it consists of a closed rope loop (a knotted piece of rope would suffice for this). But it should be advantageous
- this variant of the connecting element also has a variant with two rope enclosures.
- a connecting element as can be used in the fall protection and climbing aid according to the invention, shows Fig. 3. It is a thin steel rope in the shape of an eight. The shape creates two rope enclosures oil and 02. The shape of the eight is achieved by a clamp KL on a rope loop.
- the rope has a locking mechanism VM designed as a bayonet lock.
- connecting element is formed from two at least partially flexibly coupled sections, each of which has a rope enclosure.
- This also represents a preferred development of the invention.
- two snap hooks can be coupled directly to their fastening eyes or via an additional ring.
- the position of the connecting element V on the tether is fixed on one side in a certain area.
- the connecting element V can then only slide in this area. In extreme cases, it can even be completely fixed. This makes handling somewhat easier, since the connecting element cannot be lost and is always on the tether HS without influencing the function.
- a restriction to a certain area is achieved, e.g. through two thicker rope knots on the left and right of the fastening eyelet.
- an eye splice of the tether HS, in which the fastening eye is located is also possible. In the case of an eye splice, only some of the fibers of the tether HS can be guided through the rope enclosure.
- a carabiner hook is used as the connecting element V, such as in the arrangement according to FIG. 1 or 2, then one should not use a conventional die-cast aluminum hook. Such hooks have good tensile strength, but break easily under bending stress. At a Fall protection and climbing aid according to the invention, however, the connecting element V is particularly subjected to bending and shearing, particularly in the case of a thin mast.
- the connecting element V is therefore designed in terms of its material and design in such a way that it is particularly resistant to bending and shearing. On the one hand, this can be done by choosing a different, more resistant material, such as tempered steel or carbon fiber reinforced
- the connecting element V can be designed constructively so that the shear and bending forces in the material are reduced.
- four support points can be molded onto the edges of the connecting element, for example, whereby the introduction of force into the hook is changed so that the leverage of the forces is reduced.
- prisms attached to the hook can also be used as support surfaces. These can also be designed to be interchangeable and thus adapted to different mast diameters.
- FIG. 4 Another advantageous structural design of the connecting element V is shown in FIG. 4. The outer contour of the connecting element V lying on the mast is modeled on the curvature of the mast. Otherwise, the connecting element corresponds to the variant from FIG. 2. Also through this
- the shape of the connecting element V reduces the bending and shear forces on the connecting element.
- the HS tether can also consist of a wide variety of materials such as hemp, steel or nylon or other man-made fibers. It is also within the scope of the invention if the tether or the rope is not a single uninterrupted piece, but the rope consists of several sections that can be coupled, for example, by snap hooks, or that Rope contains other facilities for changing its length. In this way, for example, the tether can be adapted to different mast diameters or the requirements of different work on the mast, tree or the like.
