The mechanism comprises a selector with a pushbutton coupled with an operating means designed to occupy an active position or an inactive position to respectively disable or enable said disengagement of the pulley. | 01-29-2009 |
20090236177 | FOOT LOCK ASCENDER FOR ASCENDING ALONG A ROPE - A foot lock ascender for ascending along a rope comprises a swivelling gate and attachment means comprising at least a first passage for a first strap to pass through and to be adjusted, and at least a second passage for a second strap to pass through. The first positioning passage of the first strap is inclined by a predefined angle with respect to the guide throat of the rope, said angle being comprised between 40° and 75° so as to keep the bottom of the throat parallel to the path of the rope when ascending. | 09-24-2009 |
20100125984 | CARABINER WITH MOVING GATE IN THE FORM OF A WIRE - A carabiner equipped with a swivelling gate formed by a rigid metal wire of smaller diameter than that of the body. The wire is provided with a protuberance at one of the ends to form a male latching element and an articulation loop at the opposite end for passage of the swivel-pin. A flexible return device for returning the gate to the closed position comprises a compression spring operating in conjunction with an intermediate transfer stirrup inside a housing of the body. | 05-27-2010 |
20100126802 | Ascender device with cam for belaying on a fixed rope - An ascender device for belaying on a fixed rope, comprising a body with a trough, and an actuating lever having a pivot, a cam for clamping the rope, and a hole for attaching a safety means. A connecting arm with a button-hole is articulated between the pivot and body to move the actuating lever between an inactive position facilitating insertion of the rope in the trough and an active position wherein the ends of the pivot are housed in aligned recesses acting as bearings. A double lock comprises a first lock and a second lock to secure the two opposite ends of the pivot in the recesses, each lock being associated with an unlocking tab for releasing same. | 05-27-2010 |
20100200333 | ASCENDER ON A ROPE WITH INTEGRATED GRIP - An ascender for a fixed rope comprising a metal flange-plate equipped with a trough for housing the rope and with a swivelling trigger designed to block the rope against the inner surface of the trough when the flange-plate is solicited in the downwards direction. The outside surface of the trough comprises an ergonomic grip for the ascender to be totally held in the hand. The grip extends over the whole length of the trough, and the pivot-pin of the trigger is located at an intermediate level between the opposite ends of the grip. | 08-12-2010 |
20110042984 | APPARATUS FOR SECURING RESCUE OPERATIONS BY HELIHOISTING - The invention relates to an apparatus for securing rescue operations by helihoisting that comprises three attachment means to the helicopter, the lifeguard and the belay tether. A trigger control mechanism includes a mobile pawl pivotally mounted on the hook between a closing position and a release position of the opening, respectively for maintaining the tether in the hook and for releasing the same, and a latch submitted to the action of a polarization spring for locking said pawl in the closed position in the absence of a tension on the first attachment means, and for unlocking said pawl when the force applied on the first attachment means exceeds that of the polarization spring. The assembly is arranged for triggering the automatic release of the belay tether that remained attached when the tensioning by the helicopter traction cable exceeds a predetermined threshold. | 02-24-2011 |
20110073417 | SELF-ARRESTING ROPE BELAY DEVICE - The invention relates to a self-arresting rope belay device comprising a cam arranged to clamp the rope when the rope is under tension, and a lever arranged to act on the cam to progressively release the rope by manual action on the lever. The lever acts on the cam respectively with a geared-down effect in an initial part of its release travel, and with a direct effect in a final part of its travel. This results in the relative movement of the cam with respect to the lever being smaller in the initial part of the travel than in the final part, which enables accurate adjustment of the braking effort and of the running speed of the rope in the initial part of travel of the lever. | 03-31-2011 |
20110289659 | SAFETY HELMET WITH IMPROVED ADJUSTMENT - A safety helmet comprising an outer shell, an internal headband composed of a neckband at the rear and a securing strap at the front, and an adjustment mechanism of the headband. | 12-01-2011 |
20110315480 | ASCENDER/DESCENDER APPLIANCE FOR CLIMBING AND DECENDING ON A ROPE - An ascender/descender appliance for ascending and descending on a rope, comprising a body having attachment means to be connected to the user's harness and a clamping device able to be released on load. The clamping device is arranged outside the body and comprises a chain of metal links constituted by a succession of friction elements articulated on one another by connecting rods to form a series of gaps for the rope to pass in zigzag manner. Means are associated with the top link to trigger clamping of the ascender device. | 12-29-2011 |
