Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to rope grabs or shuttles for a climbing protection system for preventing a user of a ladder, a platform or the like from falling.
  • Such shuttles are guided along an elongate support member, typically a cable, and grip the cable if a user falls.
  • These shuttles have a guiding mechanism for the cable and often have a rotatably mounted clamping lever which has a cam at a first end facing the cable and an anchor point at a second end protruding from the casing of the shuttle.
  • Climbing protection systems usually consist of an elongate member, for example a wire cable, and a following fall arrester guided on the cable, which is hereafter called a rope grab or shuttle.
  • the cable can be fastened to a structure or the like by means of cable and attachments, a cable tensioner and fastening devices.
  • a user of the climbing protection system is connected by means of a full body harness to the shuttle which follows the user.
  • the full body harness is usually connected to a clamping lever of the shuttle which, if a user falls, ensures that the shuttle grips the cable of the climbing protection system, in order to thus prevent the free fall of the user.
  • a shuttle of the type described above is generally known, to which it is also possible to fasten a carabineer which connects a user's full body harness to the shuttle.
  • a closing lever is released and a clamping lever, to which the carabineer is fastened, is swiveled upwards. If the user falls, a clamping jaw of the clamping lever is pressed against the cable. Furthermore, when the shuttle is used, the clamping jaw closes the gap along the guiding mechanism of the shuttle.
  • a carabineer which connects a user's full body harness to the shuttle, is fastened in an eye at one end of a clamping lever.
  • the clamping lever is rotatably mounted in the shuttle and is swiveled in the event of a fall by the pull exerted on it by the full body harness, with the result that the cam of the clamping lever presses against the cable guided in the guiding mechanism of the shuttle and the shuttle grips the cable.
  • the clamping lever closes a gap along the guiding mechanism, which must be opened to attach the shuttle to the cable.
  • the gap is closed by a plastic lever which has to be folded back first before the shuttle can be removed from the cable.
  • the carabineer In order to prevent inadvertent release of the shuttle from the cable, the carabineer must be separated from the shuttle, as otherwise the clamping lever cannot be swiveled far enough to free the gap.
  • a problem with shuttles for a climbing protection system of the types described above is that they are not always suitable for use in a climbing protection system the cable of which is secured to a structure or the like by intermediate supports or bracket, as the shuttle cannot be moved over such intermediate supports. The shuttle must be passed manually over such intermediate supports.
  • US 2007/0119653 A1 describes a climbing protection system consisting of a cable tensioned by several intermediate supports and a fall arrest device/shuttle that can be moved along the cable.
  • the fall arrest device has a U-shaped member, which encloses the cable of the climbing protection device, and a holder cam, which is rotatably mounted. In the event of a fall, the cable is clamped between the holder cam and the U-shaped member, with the result that the fall arrest device is locked in place on the cable.
  • the fall arrest device can be removed from or attached to the cable at any time.
  • two mechanisms which are independent of each other must be actuated. The two mechanisms are arranged so that they cannot be actuated with one hand.
  • AU 2008/300650 B2 shows another example of a climbing protection device similar to the above-described devices, but having a locking or blocking plate that is spring biased to a position that reduces a gap through which the cable can be inserted and/or removed into engagement with the shuttle, and provides a user actuated button that releases this plate so that a user can move the plate to a position that opens the gap, thereby allowing a cable to be removed from engagement with the shuttle or inserted into engagement with the shuttle.
  • WO2016093850 discloses another example of a shuttle wherein a blocking plate is actuated between closed and open positions by a clamping lever as the clamping lever moves from a free position to an opening position, with a locking lever being provided to prevent movement of the clamping lever to the opening position.
  • the blocking plate prevents removal of an elongate support member, such as a cable, from the shuttle when the blocking plate is in the closed position.
  • WO2015/044141 discloses a safety clamp for use in a fall arrest system comprising a body portion formed with a plate section having a plane, and a plate portion having a plane.
  • the body portion and the plate portion together define a passage for receiving a safety rail, and the plate portion is pivotable relative to the body portion between a first and a second position.
  • the first position is wherein the plane of the plate portion is at an angle relative to the plane of the plate section such that the passage is open along its length to enable a safety rail to be inserted into, or removed from, the passage, at any location along the length of the safety rail.
  • the second position is wherein the plane of the plate portion is substantially parallel to the plane of the body portion such that a safety rail can be retained within the passage.
  • US2015114752 discloses an anti-inversion member mounted on the frame of a shuttle for movement between a closed position wherein the anti-inversion member blocks the elongate support member from being received into the guide structure and an open position wherein the anti-inversion member does not block the elongate support member from being received in the guide structure.
  • US5265696 discloses an anti-inversion mechanism.
  • a shuttle for a climbing protection system wherein the shuttle can be connected to a user and is guided along a cable, rope, or other elongate support member as the user climbs and grips the elongate support member in response to the user falling.
  • the shuttle includes a frame, a guide structure on the frame and configured to receive an elongate support member and to guide the shuttle along the elongate support member as a user attached to the shuttle climbs, and a clamping member mounted on the frame for movement between a free position wherein the shuttle can move freely along the elongate support member received in the guide structure and a clamping position wherein the clamping member engages against the elongate support member in the guide structure to resist movement of the shuttle relative to the elongate support member.
  • the clamping member is configured to move from the free position to the clamping position in response to a downward movement by the user attached to the shuttle. The clamping member in the free position blocks removal of the elongate support member from the guide structure.
  • the shuttle further includes a blocking member mounted on the frame for movement between a closed position blocking removal of the elongate support member from the guide structure and an open position where the blocking member does not block removal of the elongate support member from the guide structure.
  • the clamping member is movable to an opening position from the free position. The clamping member in the opening position does not block removal of the elongate support member in the open position, and the clamping member operably engages the blocking member to move the blocking member from the closed position to the open position as the clamping member is moved from the free position to the opening position.
  • the blocking member is mounted on the frame to pivot between the closed and open positions.
  • the blocking member includes a wheel configured to engage against the elongate support member in the guide structure with the blocking member in the closed position.
  • the blocking member further includes a carrier mounting the wheel for rotation, the carrier being pivot mounted to the frame.
  • the shuttle further includes an anti-inversion member mounted on the frame for movement between a closed position wherein the anti-inversion member blocks the elongate support member from being received into the guide structure and an open position wherein the anti-inversion member does not block the elongate support member from being received in the guide structure.
  • the anti-inversion member is mounted on the frame to pivot between the closed and open positions of the anti-inversion member.
  • the clamping member in the opening position engages a first surface of the anti-inversion member to maintain the anti-inversion member in the open position with the shuttle in a desired orientation relative to gravity
  • the clamping member in the opening position engages a second surface of the anti-inversion member to maintain the anti-inversion member in the closed position with the shuttle in an non-desired orientation relative to gravity
  • the clamping member includes a connection feature configured to receive a connector for attaching a user to the shuttle, and the connection feature is located so that a connector received therein engages against the frame to prevent the clamping member from moving to the opening position as the clamping member is moved from the free position toward the opening position.
  • the clamping member includes a clamping surface that engages the elongate support member received in the guide structure with the clamping member in the clamping position, the connection feature is spaced from the clamping surface, and the clamping member is pivot mounted to the frame at a location between the connection feature and the clamping surface.
  • the clamping member is a clamping lever mounted on the frame to pivot between the free, clamping, and opening positions.
  • the clamping member comprises a surface that engages a surface on the blocking member to move the blocking member between the closed and open positions as the clamping member moves between the free and opening positions.
  • the blocking member is biased toward the closed position of the blocking member.
  • the clamping member comprises a damping feature configured to undergo permanent deformation in response to a fall of a user attached to the shuttle.

  • a fall protection system 10 includes an elongate support member 12 in the form of a wire cable 12 being anchored to a support structure, such as a wall or structural beam (not shown), by a support bracket (not shown), and a rope grab or shuttle 20 that can be connected to a user so as to protect the user in the event of a fall.
  • the shuttle 20 can be connected to a user by any suitable connector, such as for example a carabineer 21, and is guided along the cable 12 as the user connected to the shuttle 20 climbs in the upward direction, such as indicated by the arrow "A" in Fig. 1 , which is generally opposite the direction of the force of gravity in the environment in which the fall protection system 10 is being employed.
  • the shuttle 20 includes a frame, shown generally at 22, a guide structure 24 on the frame, a clamping member 26 mounted on the frame 22, a blocking member 28 mounted on the frame 22, and an anti-inversion member 30 mounted on the frame 22.
  • the guide structure 24 is configured to receive the elongate support member 12 and to guide the shuttle 20 along the elongate support member 12 as a user attached to the shuttle 20 climbs.
  • the guide structure 24 has an elongate, semicylindrical channel 31 that conforms to the outer surface shape of the elongate member 12, which is cylindrical for the illustrated cable 12.
  • the clamping member 26 is mounted to the frame 22 for movement between a free position shown in Fig. 1 wherein the shuttle 20 can move freely along the length of the elongate support member 12 and a clamping position shown in Fig. 2 wherein the clamping member 26 engages against the elongate support member 12 in the guide structure 24 to resist or prevent movement of the shuttle 20 relative to the elongate support member 12, thereby arresting the fall of a user.
  • the clamping member 26 is configured to move from the free position shown in Fig. 1 to the clamping position shown in Fig. 2 in response to a downward fall (as indicated by arrow "B" in Fig. 2 ) by a user attached to the shuttle 20.
  • the blocking member 28 is mounted on the frame 22 for movement between a closed position shown in Figs. 1 and 2 blocking removal of the elongate support member 12 from the guide structure 24 and an open position shown in Figs. 4 and 5 where the blocking member 28 does not block removal of the elongate member 12 from the guide structure 22.

  • a connector received in the clamping member 26, such as the carbineer 21 shown in Figs. 1 and 2 will prevent movement of the clamping member 26 from the free position shown in Fig. 2 to the opening position in Fig. 4 because the connector 21 will engage against the frame 22, thereby preventing movement of the clamping member 26 to the opening position shown in Fig. 4 , or even the intermediate position shown in Fig. 3 .
  • the clamping member 26 moves from the free position shown in Fig. 2 to the opening position shown in Fig.
  • the clamping member 26 is operably engaged with the blocking member 28 to move the blocking member 28 from the closed position shown in Figs. 1 and 2 to the open position shown in Fig. 4 as the clamping member 26.
