Abstract
Description
L'invention est relative à un dispositif assureur descendeur pour l'escalade ou l'alpinisme, notamment pour l'assurage du premier ou du deuxième de cordée, et pour la descente contrôlée le long d'une corde simple ou double, et comportant un corps métallique ayant au moins une fente pour le passage d'une boucle de la corde dans un plan décalé et parallèle au plan médian vertical.The invention relates to an insurer descending device for climbing or mountaineering, particularly for belaying the first or second roped, and for the controlled descent along a single or double rope, and comprising a metal body having at least one slot for the passage of a loop of the rope in a plane offset and parallel to the vertical median plane.
Les systèmes d'assurage connus sont constitués soit par un descendeur en 8 en alliage d'aluminium moulé ou forgé, soit par des plaquettes à une ou deux fentes de formes oblongues (voir document FR 2688142). En cas de chute du grimpeur, le blocage s'effectue par effet de friction sur la corde, provoquant l'arrêt du grimpeur.Known belaying systems consist either of a die-cut 8 in die-cast or forged aluminum alloy, or of plates with one or two slots of oblong shapes (see document FR 2688142). In case of fall of the climber, the blocking is done by effect of friction on the rope, causing the stop of the climber.
Certaines de ces plaquettes sont associées à un câble de retenue en forme de boucle s'étendant perpendiculairement au plan de la plaquette. D'autres comportent des trous pour accrocher un mousqueton, mais l'ensemble des trous et des fentes se trouvent dans le même plan.Some of these pads are associated with a loop-shaped retaining cable extending perpendicularly to the plane of the wafer. Others have holes to hook a carabiner, but all holes and slots are in the same plane.
Le document FR 2 623 411 se rapporte à un appareil destiné uniquement à s'autoassurer le long d'une corde fixée au sommet de la voie. L'appareil comporte un carter pyramidal dont le sommet et la base sont ouverts. A l'intérieur du carter se trouve une poulie montée à rotation libre, et dont l'axe peut coulisser verticalement dans des fentes parallèles pratiquées dans la face avant et la face arrière. La corde s'enroule autour de la poulie en formant une boucle. Les extrémités supérieure et inférieure de la face arrière sont dotées de pattes percées par des trous, et les faces latérales du carter sont agencées en rampes de freinage. En cas de chute, la poulie est sollicitée vers le haut, et la corde vient se coincer contre les rampes. Le grimpeur s'assure lui-même sans avoir besoin d'une autre personne qui l'assure. L'appareil fonctionne exclusivement pour une personne, en assurant deux fonctions, à savoir l'auto-assurance à la montée et en descendeur.
Les manipulations de ces différents systèmes d'assurage connus ne sont pas toujours aisées lors de la progression des grimpeurs dans des terrains à risques.The document FR 2 623 411 relates to an apparatus intended solely to self-insure along a rope fixed at the top of the track. The apparatus comprises a pyramidal casing whose apex and base are open. Inside the housing is a pulley mounted for free rotation, and whose axis can slide vertically in parallel slots in the front and back side. The rope wraps around the pulley forming a loop. The upper and lower ends of the rear face are provided with tabs pierced by holes, and the side faces of the casing are arranged as braking ramps. In the event of a fall, the pulley is urged upwards, and the rope is caught against the ramps. The climber makes sure himself without the need of another person who insures him. The device works exclusively for one person, providing two functions, namely self-insurance on the ascent and descent.
The handling of these various belaying systems known are not always easy during the progression of climbers in risk lands.
L'objet de l'invention consiste à réaliser un dispositif assureur descendeur facilitant les manoeuvres lors du passage entre les différents modes d'assurage du premier et deuxième de cordée, et d'utilisation en descendeur.The object of the invention is to provide a lowering device insurer facilitating maneuvers during the passage between the different modes of belaying the first and second rope, and downhill use.
Le dispositif selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte:

- une deuxième ouverture de suspension pour le passage d'un deuxième mousqueton dans le cas de l'assurage du deuxième de cordée,
- et des moyens de butée placés dans ladite fente de chaque côté du plan médian vertical, en étant décalés transversalement par rapport audites ouvertures pour le blocage de la corde.
- a retaining loop defining a first opening for hooking a first carabiner for traversing at least said loop of the rope
- a second suspension opening for the passage of a second carabiner in the case of belaying the second roped,
- and abutment means placed in said slot on each side of the vertical median plane, being offset transversely with respect to said openings for locking the rope.
Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel de l'invention, le corps métallique est réalisé par découpage pliage d'une tôle. Il est composé d'un flasque central sur lequel est rapporté un étrier en forme de U délimitant deux fentes symétriques de part et d'autre du flasque. Les deux ouvertures sont ménagées dans le flasque en s'étendant dans le plan vertical médian. La première ouverture en forme d'anse est plus grande que la deuxième ouverture. L'âme de l'étrier est dotée dans la zone médiane de deux saignées de centrage destinées à s'imbriquer dans le flasque.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the metal body is made by cutting folding a sheet. It consists of a central flange on which is reported a stirrup U-shaped defining two symmetrical slots on either side of the flange. The two openings are formed in the flange extending in the median vertical plane. The first loop-shaped opening is larger than the second opening. The core of the stirrup is endowed in the median zone with two centering grooves intended to fit into the flange.
Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, l'organe d'assemblage traverse les extrémités de l'étrier et du flasque avec interposition de deux douilles constituant lesdits moyens de butée pour le blocage de la corde. Préférentiellement, chaque douille est fixe, et ferme la fente correspondante à l'opposé de l'âme dans la partie rétrécie de l'étrier.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, un bossage est ménagé sur chaque douille en étant orienté vers l'intérieur de l'étrier pour améliorer le blocage de la corde.
Selon une autre caractéristique, chaque douille comportent au moins un ergot destiné à pénétrer transversalement dans un trou additionnel du flasque pour bloquer en rotation ladite douille. Le trou présente une forme rectangulaire avec une partie centrale circulaire pour le passage de l'organe d'assemblage.According to a feature of the invention, the assembly member passes through the ends of the yoke and the flange with the interposition of two sockets constituting said abutment means for locking the rope. Preferably, each bushing is fixed, and closes the corresponding slot opposite the soul in the narrowed part of the stirrup.
According to another characteristic of the invention, a boss is formed on each bushing being oriented towards the inside of the stirrup to improve the locking of the rope.
According to another characteristic, each bushing comprises at least one lug intended to penetrate transversely into an additional hole of the flange to lock said bushing in rotation. The hole has a rectangular shape with a circular central portion for the passage of the assembly member.

En référence aux figures 1 à 4, un dispositif assureur descendeur 10 pour l'escalade ou l'alpinisme, comporte un corps 12 métallique composé d'un flasque 14 central sur lequel est rapporté un étrier 16 en forme de U, de manière à définir deux fentes 18, 20 adjacentes pour le passage de la corde.With reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, an insurer descending
L'âme 22 de l'étrier 16 est dotée dans la zone médiane de deux saignées de centrage 24, 26, alignées dans le plan du flasque 14 et ayant chacune une épaisseur légèrement supérieure à celle du flasque 14. Les extrémités des deux ailes 28, 30 symétriques de l'étrier 16 sont pourvues d'orifices 32 circulaires destinées à recevoir un organe d'assemblage 34, par exemple un rivet, lequel traverse coaxialement deux douilles 36, 38 et le flasque 14 dans la direction transversale. Chaque douille 36, 38 constitue un moyen de butée fixe, qui ferme la fente 18, 20 correspondante à l'opposé de l'âme 22 et dans la partie rétrécie de l'étrier 16. Un bossage 39 est ménagé sur chaque douille 36, 38 pour améliorer le blocage de la corde en cas de chute. Le flasque 14 s'étend dans le plan vertical médian, et comporte une première ouverture 40 en forme d'anse de retenue, et une deuxième ouverture 42 pour l'accrochage d'un mousqueton dans le cas de l'assurage du deuxième de cordée. Un trou 44 additionnel de forme rectangulaire est également prévu dans le flasque 14 pour autoriser le passage de l'organe d'assemblage 34, et l'insertion de deux ergots 46 faisant saillie de chaque douille 36, 38 dans la direction transversale. La partie centrale du trou 44 est circulaire, et présente un diamètre légèrement supérieur à celui du rivet.The
Lors du montage de l'étrier 16, les deux saignées de centrage 24, 26 de l'âme 22 s'engagent dans la partie centrale du flasque 14. Les deux douilles 36, 38 fixes sont bloquées en rotation suite à la pénétration des ergots 46 dans le trou 44 rectangulaire du flasque 14, et les bossages 39 sont orientés vers l'intérieur de l'étrier 16. L'âme 22 forme un plan incliné agencé entre la deuxième ouverture 42 et les deux douilles 36, 38 fixes.When mounting the
Le dispositif assureur descendeur 10 selon les figures 1 à 4 est réalisé par découpage pliage d'une tôle en aluminium ou en acier inoxydable, mais il est clair qu'il pourrait être forgé.The insurer device descender 10 according to Figures 1 to 4 is made by cutting folding of a sheet of aluminum or stainless steel, but it is clear that it could be forged.
Les différents modes d'utilisation du dispositif assureur descendeur 10 selon l'invention sont les suivants :
- L'appareil peut être utilisé en corde simple ou en corde double. Dans le cas d'une corde simple (non représentée), une seule fente 18
ou 20 est traversée longitudinalement par une boucle de la corde dans un plan décalé parallèle au flasque 14. Dans le cas d'une corde double, les deux fentes 18, 20 sont utilisées, avec deux boucles de corde s'étendant parallèlement de part et d'autre du flasque 14.
- The device can be used in single rope or double rope. In the case of a single rope (not shown), a
18 or 20 is traversed longitudinally by a loop of the rope in an offset plane parallel to thesingle slot flange 14. In the case of a double rope, the two 18 , 20 are used, with two loops of rope extending parallel on either side of theslots flange 14.
Les figures suivantes illustrent l'installation du dispositif assureur descendeur 10 avec le deuxième cas en corde double.The following figures illustrate the installation of the
Le premier de cordée grimpe, et est assuré par le deuxième de cordée qui se trouve en-dessous. Deux boucles de la corde double 48 sont logées dans les fentes 18, 20 du dispositif assureur descendeur 10, et un premier mousqueton 50 traverse les deux boucles et l'anse 40, en étant attaché à l'anneau 52 du baudrier 54 appartenant au second de cordée. L'une des mains 56 du deuxième de cordée tient les brins supérieurs de la corde reliés au premier de cordée, tandis que l'autre main 58 entoure les brins inférieurs. La deuxième ouverture 42 du flasque 14 n'est pas utilisée dans ce mode d'assurage.The first roped climbs, and is assured by the second roped which is below. Two loops of the
Lors de la progression normale du premier de cordée, il suffit que la main 58 du deuxième de cordée donne du mou dans le sens de la flèche F1 pour autoriser le libre coulissement de la corde 48 dans l'appareil.During the normal progression of the first rope, it is sufficient that the
Pour bloquer le premier de cordée, notamment en cas de chute, le deuxième de cordée serre les brins inférieurs avec sa main 58 en sollicitant la corde 48 dans le sens de la flèche F2. Il en résulte un coincement des boucles de corde sur les bossages 39 des douilles 36, 38, et un blocage des brins supérieurs de la corde 48.To block the first rope, especially in case of a fall, the second rope tightens the lower strands with his
Le deuxième de cordée grimpe, et est assuré par le premier de cordée qui se trouve au-dessus, notamment à un relais. La corde 48 est attachée au baudrier du deuxième de cordée, et le premier mousqueton 50 traverse l'anse 40 et les boucles de corde de l'appareil 10 du premier cordée, mais sans être attaché au baudrier de ce dernier. L'appareil 10 est relié à des moyens d'amarrage 60 fixes par l'intermédiaire d'un deuxième mousqueton 62 passant à travers la deuxième ouverture 42 du flasque 14.The second roped climbs, and is assured by the leader who is above, including a relay. The
Lors de la progression normale du deuxième de cordée, la corde peut coulisser librement dans l'appareil 10, et les mains 56, 58 du premier de cordée accompagnent le mouvement de la corde 48 (flèches F3 et F4), de manière à rattraper au fur et à mesure le mou se formant sur le tronçon entre le deuxième de cordée et l'appareil 10.During the normal progression of the second rope, the rope can slide freely in the
En cas de chute du deuxième de cordée, le blocage instantané de l'appareil 10 coinceur est automatique, entraînant l'arrêt de la chute. Les chocs sont absorbés intégralement par l'appareil 10 et les moyens d'amarrage 60 fixes.In the event of a fall of the second rope, the instantaneous blocking of the
On utilise l'appareil 10 comme dans le cas des figures 5 et 6, mais dans le sens de la descente. Il se comporte alors comme un descendeur avec le premier mousqueton 50 attaché au baudrier 54. Pour freiner ou arrêter le mouvement de descente, il suffit de tirer plus ou moins énergiquement sur la corde avec la main 56 comme on le fait d'une manière classique avec des descendeurs simples. Un élément de sécurité rappel 64 additionnel peut être adapté sur les brins inférieurs, et contrôlé par l'autre main 58.The
