Abstract

Une corde de sauvetage en forme d'échelle de corde comprend des montants aussi courts entre les montants en corde que le pied posé sur une traverse ne peut pas glisser latéralement.A rope ladder-shaped rescue rope includes uprights that are so short between the rope uprights that the foot on a cross member cannot slide sideways.

B e s c h r e i b u n gDescription
Als Strickleiter ausgebildetes RettungsseilRescue rope designed as a rope ladder
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein als Strickleiter ausgebilde¬ tes Rettungsseil.The invention relates to a rescue rope designed as a rope ladder.
Ein solches Rettungsseil dient insbesondere zur Feuerrettung zum Abseilen von Personen aus Häusern, in denen es brennt oder eine sonstige Gefahrensituation herrscht.Such a rescue rope is used in particular for fire rescue for abseiling people from houses in which there is a fire or another dangerous situation.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das Abseilen von Personen, die normalerweise nicht in der Benutzung von Strick¬ leitern geübt sind, zu erleichtern. Erfindungsgemäß geschieht dies durch eine Gestaltung des Rettungsseils mittels so kurzer Stege, daß der auf einen Steg aufgesetzte Fuß seitlich nicht wegrutschen kann.The invention has for its object to facilitate the abseiling of people who are normally not trained in the use of rope ladders. According to the invention, this is done by designing the rescue rope by means of webs so short that the foot placed on a web cannot slide sideways.
Aufgrund dieser Gestaltung des Rettungsseils hat der auf einen Steg aufgesetzte Fuß einen sicheren Halt in seitlicher Hinsicht, da insbesondere die parallel verlaufenden Tragseile seitlich an ihm anliegen. Zweckmäßig gestaltet man das Rettungsseil so, daß der Abstand der Stege ein Mehrfaches von deren Länge beträgt.Due to this design of the rescue rope, the foot placed on a web has a secure hold from a lateral point of view, since in particular the parallel carrying ropes lie against it laterally. It is useful to design the rescue rope so that the distance between the webs is a multiple of their length.
Die Tragseile kann man aus verschiedenen Materialien her¬ sstteelllleenn,, zz..BB.. aauus Naturfasern, aus Drahtseilen oder aus Kunststoffasern.The supporting ropes can be made of different materials, for example made from natural fibers, from wire ropes or from plastic fibers.
Die Befestigung der Stege an den Tragseilen erfolgt vorteilhaft durch Schrauben oder Nägel. Im Falle der Verwendung von Draht¬ seilen aus Kunststoff kann man die Stege auch mit den Tragsei¬ len verschweißen.The webs are advantageously fastened to the supporting cables by means of screws or nails. If plastic wire ropes are used, the webs can also be welded to the support ropes.
Zur Halterung des Tragseils an seinem oberen Ende wird dieses zweckmäßig mit einem Karabinerhaken versehen.To hold the support rope at its upper end, it is expediently provided with a snap hook.
Die Stege werden zweckmäßig als Sprossen ausgebildet, die z.B. aus Kunststoff oder Aluminium bestehen können.The webs are expediently designed as rungs, which e.g. can consist of plastic or aluminum.
In der Figur ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung darge¬ stellt. Sie zeigt ein als Strickleiter ausgebildetes Rettungs¬ seil mit den Tragseilen Z2 und den als Sprossen ausgebildeten Stegen Z3, die hier an den Tragseilen Z2 mittels Nägel bzw. Schrauben befestigt sind. Am oberen Ende des Rettungsseiles ist dieses mit dem Karabinerhaken Z1 versehen, der z.B. in einem Gebäude im Gefahrenfalle an irgendeinem festen Gegenstand, z.B. einem Heizkörper, befestigt werden kann. Die Sprossen Z3 sind in regelmäßigen Abständen in normaler Schritthöhe an den Tragseilen Z2 befestigt. Aufgrund der kurzen Ausführung der Sprossen Z3 kann ein auf sie aufgesetzter Fuß seitlich nicht wegrutschen, da er sofort von dem jeweiligen Tragseil Z2 ge¬ stoppt wird. Die Tragseile Z2 bestehen hier aus gedrehten Fasern (die auch geflochten sein können) aus Kunststoff oder Naturfasern. In the figure, an embodiment of the invention is shown. It shows a rescue rope designed as a rope ladder with the support ropes Z2 and the ridges Z3 designed as rungs, which are fastened here to the support ropes Z2 by means of nails or screws. At the upper end of the rescue rope, this is provided with the snap hook Z1, which e.g. in a building in the event of danger on any solid object, e.g. a radiator. The rungs Z3 are attached to the support cables Z2 at regular intervals at normal step height. Due to the short design of the rungs Z3, a foot placed on them cannot slide sideways, since it is immediately stopped by the respective supporting cable Z2. The Z2 suspension cables consist of twisted fibers (which can also be braided) made of plastic or natural fibers.
