Definitions

  • such a predetermined sequence may involve any suitable sequence of successive, alternating extensions and retractions of the safety line.
  • a predetermined sequence might take the form of two, three, four or more pairs of extensions/retractions or retractions/extensions.
  • such extensions and/or retractions may have to fall into a certain magnitude (e.g., from about 1 cm to about 30 cm, or from about 3 to about 10 cm) to be recognized by computing device 98 as potentially being part of a command signal.
  • the available control variables also include the interval of wait time between successive motions (extensions or retractions) of the safety line, and the magnitude of the distance of extension or retraction of the safety line out of or into the housing.
  • two different mechanical command signals may be used in pairwise fashion.
  • two lock-ups in succession may instruct computing device 98 to change from an initial state to second state
  • three lock-ups in succession may instruct computing device 98 to change from the second state back to the initial state.
  • a single command may be used in on-off-on-off ("toggle") fashion.
  • two lock-ups followed by a retraction may instruct computing device 98 to change from the initial state to a second state.
  • this same signal may instruct device 98 to change from the second state back to the initial state.
  • such an action may take the form of computing device 98 of an apparatus 1 establishing communication with a mobile device carried by a particular person who is or will be using that apparatus 1, and pairing computing device 98 with that mobile device.
  • pairing is meant that computing device 98 recognizes that particular mobile device and will not confuse wireless signals from that mobile device with those from any other mobile device; the mobile device likewise recognizes computing device 98.
  • computing device 98 may send a wireless query for the presence of a nearby mobile device.
  • computing device 98 may then establish communication with the mobile device (and may e.g. perform an electronic handshake with the mobile device).
  • computing device 98 (and, more broadly, of fall-protection apparatus 1) illustrated in the Figure are shown for exemplary purposes only.
  • apparatus 1 and computing device 98 thereof may be configured in a variety of other ways having additional, fewer, or alternative components than those shown in the exemplary Figure.
  • computing device 98 may be configured to include only a subset of components, such as a subset of the depicted sensors, e.g. along with at least one processor and at least one communication unit.
  • the Figure illustrates all components of computing device 98 being resident on housing 10 of apparatus 1, this is not strictly necessary, as noted previously herein.
  • Embodiment 1 is a self-retracting fall-protection apparatus comprising: a housing; a rotatable drum that is connected to the housing; and, a safety line with a proximal end attached to the rotatable drum and a distal end that is attachable to a harness of a user of the device; wherein the apparatus comprises a computing device configured to receive and identify a mechanical command signal that originates from the safety line, by way of at least one housing-resident sensor that is configured to sense a state of the safety line; and wherein the computing device is configured to perform at least one action upon receiving and identifying the mechanical command signal.
  • Embodiment 9 is the apparatus of any of embodiments 1-8 wherein the computing device is configured to receive and identify a mechanical command signal that includes at least one predetermined wait time interval during which the safety line is held stationary.
  • Embodiment 16 is the apparatus of any of embodiments 1-15 wherein the computing device is configured to perform at least one action that is a communication action comprising sending a wireless communication to a mobile device and/or to a base unit.
