182137000 | BODY CATCHER | 9 |
20100108443 | ELECTRONIC STAIRS BARRIER AND GUIDE - An automatic/active/intelligent stair guide system that will allow children, elderly, disabled or frail people to use the stairs safely by acting as an instant barrier stopping a child or an elderly or frail person from falling even after they have lost their grip on the stairs. | 05-06-2010 |
20100314199 | Fall Protection Systems - In one embodiment, a fall protection system including a J-shaped stanchion that attaches to a roof truss (or rafter) in such a manner as to enable the entire girth of the roof truss overhang (or rafter) to be the sole support for the stanchion. The stanchion is designed to bend below the fascia and return up above the roof surface where successive stanchions similarly attached are connected via a fall protection guardrails providing fall protection for all workers. This single point of attachment allows the carpenters to attach the stanchions prior to hoisting the trusses onto the roof bearing walls. As soon as the trusses are properly braced, the guardrails can be hoisted and secured. In another embodiment, the disclosure includes a combination fall protection and catwalk system for above-ground floors. In another embodiment, the disclosure includes a fall protection system for reroofing applications. | 12-16-2010 |
20130146395 | Multilevel Railcar Safety Catch System - The multilevel railcar safety catch system of the present disclosure comprises at least two multilevel railcars (or at least one multilevel railcar and a vehicle loading ramp), at least two bridge plates, and a safety catch assembly. In the preferred embodiment of the disclosure, two or more multilevel railcars are coupled together by a coupler. Two bridge plates are laid across the gap between corresponding multilevel railcar decks for the purpose of walking or moving vehicles across from one multilevel railcar to another. A safety catch assembly is removably attached underneath the bridge plates via a securement means on the safety catch assembly and barrel rings or bridge plate hinge pins in such a way as to prevent persons or items from falling through the gap between the multilevel railcar decks when loading or unloading vehicles. | 06-13-2013 |
20160101300 | Safety Airbag System - A safety airbag device for cushioning the free fall of a person or object from an elevated height. The airbag device includes an inflatable base bag capable of sustaining an air pressure and an inflatable structure coupled to the base bag, where the inflatable structure is in air communication with the base bag. A net is coupled to a top portion of the inflatable structure for decelerating and supporting the individual from free fall. A top cover is coupled to the base bag that substantially encloses the inflatable structure. | 04-14-2016 |
182138000 | Sheet or net type | 5 |
20100147625 | MOVABLE SAFETY BARRIER SYSTEM - A movable safety barrier system includes a flexible barrier member having a barrier member length with first and second ends, and a width. The barrier member can have a construction that is flexible in both directions along the length and width of the barrier member. First and second end supports are provided which are capable of supporting respective first and second ends of the length of the barrier member when the barrier member is extended between the end supports. The end supports can allow the extended barrier member to move in a direction transverse to the width of the barrier member when desired. | 06-17-2010 |
20110011677 | Fall arrest safety net - A fall arrest safety net assembly has the form of a bag constructed of wire mesh, with a closed end and an opposing open mouth about which a plurality of eyes are spaced. An elongate line has opposing first and second ends, first and second line portions of the line being disposed adjacent the first and second ends respectively, an intermediate portion of the line located between the first and second line portions. A choker fitting has two faces between which a plurality of openings extend, and an end fixture on the choker fitting. The first portion of the line is connected in a ring by the choker fitting, the first end being fixed to the end fixture, the first portion extending through the eyes for drawing the mouth closed, and the intermediate portion extending through the openings in the choker fitting. | 01-20-2011 |
20120055738 | CONSTRUCTION SAFETY HANGER - A safety hanger system for attachment to horizontal members of stringers or other support members forming a subfloor include a plurality of safety hanger straps each of which is provided with closed loop ends. Rigid retaining members such as D-rings are linked through one of said loop ends at one end of each of the straps. Snap hooks are supported on the retaining members. The safety hangers are attachable in spaced relationship to the stringers with at least one snap-hook positioned to engage a safety net below the adjacent stringers to catch a worker that slips through a subfloor under which the net is placed, whereby workers have freedom of movement above the subfloor without the need to be tethered by lanyards to any given fixed point. A method is disclosed for attaching the safety hanger straps to the stringers and for securing safety net(s) to the snap hooks. | 03-08-2012 |
20160017618 | STANCHION SAFETY NET SUPPORT ARRAY WITH ANCHORAGE SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME - A safety net support system is provided. The system includes a plurality of support members having a material positioned there between to create a barrier between neighboring support members. The system further includes a pneumatic anchorage member functionally coupled to a source of pressurized air. An anchorage member is configured to sustain a corresponding support member. Each anchorage member includes a vacuum cup and a control input that can transition the anchorage member between an engaged state and a disengaged state. In the engaged state, the anchorage member utilizes the pressurized air to establish a vacuum between the vacuum cup and a surface in contact with the vacuum cup. In the disengaged state, the anchorage member utilizes the pressurized air to establish an air cushion between the vacuum cup and the surface. | 01-21-2016 |
20160376067 | DEVICE FALL ARREST SAFETY NET - A fall arrest safety net assembly including a bag constructed from one or more wire strands which are turned back upon themselves to form loop members and a plurality of eyes. An elongate line extends through the eyes spaced about the mouth of the bag. The bag includes a slit that separates a first loop member from an adjacent second loop member. The second loop member includes a toggle that is sized to selectively prevent the toggle from exiting an accepting space opening. | 12-29-2016 |
