Definitions
- the present invention relates to a follower fall arrest device used with a safety rope intended to secure the worker at height, climber, and the like, comprising:
- a body equipped with a locking system occupying either an active position for blocking the rope during the rapid circulation of said rope in the device generated for example by a fall, or an inactive position allowing the controlled circulation of the rope in the device corresponding to the progression of a person in the direction of the climb, or in the opposite direction during a controlled descent
- Such a device is for example known from the patents FR2842113, US4923037 and DE 102004019714Al.
- the locking systems of known fall arrest devices have many disadvantages:
- the purpose of this invention is to remove all these disadvantages.
- the device according to this invention is provided with a locking system comprising:
- the free weight being fit during a fast flow the rope to move towards the inclined bearing surface until the rope is locked between said free weight and the bearing surface of the rope.
- the device is characterized in that the locking system is provided with a pressure member allowing, during a controlled circulation of the rope, the free weight to always be in contact with the rope and to remain in said part. bottom of the cavity without touching the inclined support surface, whatever the inclination of the rope and whatever the position of the device.
- the pressure member presses on an axis allowing rotation of the free flyweight on itself and that said axis is free to rotate relative to the free flyweight the latter being a ring.
- the free weight may comprise an off-center mass
- the locking system may comprise a running gear located between said free weight and the inclined bearing surface, said weight comprising at least one surface capable of receiving the said running gear.
- Said free weight has a smooth surface condition so as not to damage the rope.
- the adhesion of the rope to the free weight is greater than the adhesion of the other contact zones on said free weight.
- the locking system is provided with a lever for unlocking said free weight when the free weight is locked against the rope and even when this last is under load which allows the braking of the said rope during the descent of the user for example.
- the device is further characterized in that the locking system is provided with a manually activated thrust member allowing the free weight to be in contact with the rope and with the inclined bearing surface, which allows only the circulation the rope in one direction and the blockage in the other direction.
- the result of this invention is a safety device, fall arrest follower, blocker and descender.
- This new device therefore offers the possibility of rope ascending, controlled climb and descent along the fixed rope, a descending function when the user is suspended from the device after a fall or during abseiling and it is also used to secure another person, the device is then attached to a person on the ground who performs the belay accompanying the movement in the device of the mobile rope connected to the other person, allowing the progression of the climber or worker safely.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the device installed on a rope (1) security
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the other side of the device
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing the device in "fall arrest" mode
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing the device in "blocker" mode
- FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing the device in "descending" mode.
- FIG. 6 is a sectional view showing another embodiment of the pressure member (8).
- Figures 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the device according to the invention, it is shown in perspective in the use position installed on a rope (1) safety, and a carabiner attachment (12) generally connects the device to the user's shoulder belt, the latter not being represented.
- the device according to this invention can be used to secure another person with a mobile safety rope, the device will be attached to the person on the ground and installed on a rope (1) mobile connecting the climber, so during a belay "Roping machine", the movable safety rope generally slides in a ring fixed at the top of the wall, or when a climber climbs "in the lead", then it connects the movable safety rope to rings fixed in the wall via carabiners, as it progresses.
- the device can also be used as a fall arrester follower, the device is then attached to the user and installed on a fixed safety rope attached to the top of the wall, the self device thus ensures the user moving along the said fixed safety rope.
- the device is in "blocker” mode, it therefore only authorizes the circulation of the rope (1) in a direction corresponding to a displacement of the user uphill and cause a blocking of the rope (1) in the opposite direction during the descent for example.
- This lever (18) allows the user during the climbing of a cliff for example with the device in "fall arrest” mode, to switch to "blocker” mode to be held by the rope (1) for for example, to cross a passage that is too difficult, then return to the "fall arrest” mode to continue climbing uphill or downhill.
- the unlocking lever (10) folded inside the body (2). All the parts that make up the device are preferably made of metal, stamped or injected aluminum type.
- the pressure member (8) is articulated in rotation about the axis (22) and applies a pressure on the free weight (7) by the effect of a tension spring (24).
- This traction spring (24) largely compensates for the weight of the free weight (7).
- the pressure member (8) thus allows the free weight (7) to always be in contact with the rope (1) and to remain in said lower part of the cavity (5) without touching the inclined support surface (6), whatever the inclination of the rope (1) and whatever the position of the device.
- the skidding of the free weight (7) on the low bearing surface (21) and on the pressure member (8) is understood because on the one hand the adhesion of the rope (1) to the free weight ( 7) is more important than the adhesion of the contact zones of the pressure member (8) and the low bearing surface (21), due to the size of the contact surfaces and the nature of the materials, and on the other hand the direction of the pressure of the pressure member (8) on the free weight (7) being towards the rope (l) and towards the low bearing surface (21), therefore the opposite of the inclined bearing surface (6).
- the device in "fall arrest follower" mode will cause an acceleration of the movement of the rope (1) in the device, thus the acceleration in rotation of the free flyweight (7) which generates an increase in friction on the pressure member (8), thereby causing the free flyweight (7) to move towards the top of the cavity (5) by pushing back the pressure member (8) then said free weight (7) will roll on the inclined bearing surface (6) until the locking of the rope (1) between said free weight (7) and the bearing surface (4).
- the pressure member (8) gives a high reliability to the device even if it is used with different diameters of rope.
- FIG. 4 is a partial section of the device in "blocker" mode.
- the push member (9) integral with the lever (18) is shown in the active position, the user is free to move uphill and the device will cause the locking of the rope (1) in the direction of descent.
- the thrust member (9) being integral with the lever (18) (shown in dashed lines in FIG.
- FIG. 5 is a partial section of the device in "descending" mode, that is to say, when the user is suspended from the rope (1) thanks to the blocking of the device, either after a fall or during abseiling.
- the free weight (7) in the locked position the carabiner attachment (12) partially shown with an arrow indicating the direction of the forces on the device, and we see that the rope (1) is wrapped around the part of friction (26) of the device.
- the fastening hole (28) in the body (2) of the device being above the locking system when the device is in use position for a rise ( Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4), it causes the device to tilt at the rounded end (27) of the friction portion (26) during the locking of the rope (1).
- the rope (1) is wrapped around the friction portion (26), which increases the friction, facilitates the control of the abseiling and uses less the ropes.
- the lever (10) folded, and dotted we see the lever (10) unlocking the free weight (7) thus causing the sliding of the rope (1) so the descent of the user.
- Figures 3,4,5 were explained when the device is used as fall arrest, but it works the same way when it is used for the belaying of another person, in this case the device is fixed and the rope (1) is mobile.
- FIG. 6 is a sectional view showing another embodiment of the pressure member (8), the other parts are not shown for clarity.
- the pressure member (8) this time articulated at the point (30), pressing on either side of the free weight (7) on the axis (29) by the effort a traction spring (31) thus allowing the free weight (7) to always be in contact with the rope (1) .
- said shaft (29) is free to rotate with respect to the free flyweight (7) the latter being a ring having a central hole about three times larger than the diameter of the axis (29) .
- the pressure member (8) has a shape to maintain the axis ( 29) in a defined position and that said shape is extended by an inclined portion (32) the latter to maintain the axis (29) down which allows the free weight (7) not to touch the inclined support surface (6) during the controlled circulation of the rope (1).
- This embodiment of the pressure member (8) makes the device more reliable because the fact that the pressure member (8) bears on the axis (29) reduces the friction on the pressure member ( 8) and can therefore increase the force of the spring (31) which allows excellent contact of the free weight (7) on the rope (1).
- the free weight (7) is a ring gear increases the contact sensitivity between the said weight and the rope (1), which makes it possible to accentuate the inclined portion (32) of the said reliable pressure member the controlled circulation of the rope (1) and avoiding the inadvertent blocking of the rope.
- the flyweight free (7) may include an off-center mass to optimize the device as explained above.
