Definitions

  • fall arrest devices follow the progression of the person along the rope without generating blocking.
  • the person is free to move without any intervention manual release of the fall arrest device.
  • the blocking occurs only in case of fall.
  • the restraint system of known fall arrest devices generally includes a pivoting lever having at one end an attachment ring for the connection to a shoulder belt, and at the opposite end a locking cam of the rope.
  • a pivoting lever having at one end an attachment ring for the connection to a shoulder belt, and at the opposite end a locking cam of the rope.
  • Such The arrangement behaves like a cleat which may prevent blocking if the user were to grip the lever in the event of a fall.
  • WO 00/24471 relates to a locking device bidirectional for a fall arrest apparatus, comprising a locking member equipped with two cams actuated independently by an organ of common blockage in response to a sudden change in weight.
  • the blocking of each of the cams depends on the inclination of the rope relative to the chassis of the device.
  • US 4923037 discloses a fall arrest device having a system of restraint consisting of an articulated support arm, which is equipped with a wheel cylindrical mounted free rotation, and a centrifugal mechanical coupling arranged in a ratchet.
  • the periphery of the wheel has a series of teeth constituting a pinion causing rotation of the wheel by friction with the cable.
  • the radial direction of the teeth does not allow to obtain a functioning optimum fall arrest system.
  • to insert the vertical lifeline in the fall arrest device it is necessary to make use of a U-shaped articulated, and to rotate outward, which complicates maneuvers.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a fall arrest apparatus for a fixed rope, to obtain maximum safety for the user in the event of a fall, regardless of the inclination of the rope or a handling error of the device.
  • the fall arrest device is characterized in that the surface roller device is provided with a plurality of pins arranged for generate a rotation of the roller in the direction of the descent, and a slip on the rope in the direction of the climb, and that the body has a chute rectilinear U-shaped for the passage of the rope, said chute having holes for the passage of fastening means.
  • the mechanical coupling is disposed inside the roller, and comprises at least one movable weight by centrifugal effect along a ramp as a function of speed or acceleration of the drive member of the roller.
  • the weight is associated with a spring of return biasing the mechanical coupling in the disengaged position, the threshold when the centrifugal force is greater than the force return spring.
  • a fall arrest device 10 is used for the safety of a person moving along a fixed 12 insurance rope.
  • a carabiner 14 is hooked to the fall arrest device 10 so as to be connected to the harness, either live, either through an absorption lanyard.
  • the fall arrest device 10 follows the progression of the person along the rope 12 without generating blocking. The person is free to move without any intervention Manual release of the fall arrest device 10.
  • the fall arrest device 10 is composed of a rigid body 16 and a control system.
  • mobile retainer 18 cooperating with the rope 12 to occupy either a position blocking function in the event of a fall, ie an inactive unlocking position in the direction of the climb, or in the opposite direction during a controlled descent.
  • the body 16 which is preferably metallic, comprises a straight trough 20 made of U shape for the passage of the rope 12, and a stirrup 22 for mounting a first axis 24 extending transversely to the direction of the chute 20.
  • the upper part of the chute 20 is pierced by two holes 23 to allow the passage of the carabiner 14 attachment to the harness.
  • the retaining member 18 comprises a support arm 26 articulated on the first axis 24, and a wheel-shaped roller 28 mounted for free rotation on a second axis 30 integral with the support arm 26.
  • the peripheral surface of the roller 28 is cylindrical, and is provided with a plurality of pins 32 each having an inclination predetermined with respect to the radial direction passing through the axis 30.
  • a spring torsion (not shown) is threaded on the first axis 24 and urges the arm support 26 in the direction of the chute 20.
  • the roller 28 is provided with an internal drive member 33, pierced by an orifice 34 central cylindrical, which is traversed by a tubular bearing 36 introduced on the second fixed axis 30. Inside the roller 28 is in addition a mechanical coupling 38 formed by a pair of weights 40 cylindrical arranged between opposite ramps 42 of the organ 33 and a circular flange 44 of the support arm 26.
  • Each weight 40 is associated with a spring 46 in the shape of a pin intended for urging the mechanical coupling 38 to the disengaged position when the normal use of the fall arrest device 10.
  • the 40 flyweights are in a hollow of the drive member 33, in order to interrupt the mechanical coupling 38 between the roller 28 and the arm 26.
  • the roller 28 is then rotated by the friction of the rope 12, while the support arm 26 is in the inactive position allowing the device fall arrest 10 to follow the progress of the user on the ascent or descent.
  • the restoring force of the springs 46 defines the coupling threshold as a function of the speed or acceleration of the drive member 33 of the rotary roller 28.
  • the abrupt rotation of the roller 28 on the axis 30 causes the displacement of the weights 40 by centrifugal effect to the engaged position. This movement is effected against the restoring force of the springs 46, and causes jamming of the weights 40 between the flange 44 and the body 33.
  • the mechanical coupling in the engaged position thus makes the roller 28 secured to the support arm 26, so as to form a cleat wedge capable of pivoting about the first axis 24, and blocking the fall by blocking the rope 12.
  • the pivoting support arm 26 is equipped with a stop 48 intended to cooperate with the carabiner 14 to limit the pivoting stroke of the arm 26 in the inactive unlock position. The response time of the support arm 26 pivoting is thus reduced to the minimum to obtain the blocking in case of fall.
  • the end of the stop 48 is provided with a protuberance 49 intended for intercalate between the two holes 23 of the body 16 to prevent the establishment carabiner 14 before the introduction of the rope 12.
  • the abrupt rotation of the roller and the drive member 33 in the clockwise subjects the weights 40 to a centrifugal force, which is higher and opposite to the restoring force of the springs 46.
  • the weights 40 move on the ramps 42, which causes jamming weights 40 between the flange 44 and the drive member 33.
  • the mechanical coupling is then in the engaged position, making the roller 28 secured to the support arm 26.
  • the assembly constitutes a jamming cleat rotatable clockwise about the first axis 24, and blocking the fall by blocking the rope 12. Unblocking the weights 40 intervenes by a manual action of the operator to maintain the roller 28 against the rope 12, and by raising the body 16 by a few centimeters.
  • the stop 48 is replaced by a security flap 50, which is arranged to fill the same functions of the abutment 48 of the preceding Figures 1-12, in addition to a positioning function of the rope 12 at the bottom of the chute 20 before the introduction of the carabiner 14 in the holes 23.
  • the safety flap 50 is pivotally mounted on an axis 52, and comprises a oblong aperture 54 inside which moves a lever of control 56 secured to the support arm 26.
  • the opening 54 has a double angled ramp for moving the flap 50 according to the pivoting movement of the arm 26.
  • the flap 50 further comprises a wing 58 intended to press the rope 12 at the bottom of the chute 20.
