Definitions

  • the figure 1 represents a self-locking rope insurance device described in detail in the document EP 2301631 . It comprises a cam-shaped pulley 10 arranged to cause a locking of the rope when the rope is under tension, and a control lever 11 cooperating with the cam 10 to cause a progressive release of the rope following a manual action on the lever 11 in the direction of the arrow F.
  • the lever 11 acts on the cam 10 respectively with a multiplied effect in an initial part of its release stroke, and with a direct drive effect in a final part of its stroke.
  • the relative displacement of the cam 10 relative to the displacement of the lever 11 is lower in the initial part of the race than in the final part, which allows a precise adjustment of the braking force and the speed of movement of the rope in the initial portion of the stroke of the lever 11.
  • the cam 10 is articulated on an axis 12 of a flange 13 fixed, and the lever 11 control is articulated by an axis 14 on the cam 10.
  • the lever 11 comprises a bearing pin 15 intended to come into contact against a stop 16 of the flange 13, said stop being located between the hinge pins 12, 14 of the respective cam 10 and lever 11 when the latter is turned in the direction of release. From this position, if the user pulls on the lever 11 in the unlocking clockwise direction, the cam 10 is urged clockwise with a reduced effort. By spending little energy, the user can exert a major effort on the cam 10 to overcome the effort required to unlock the rope, and then finely adjust the position of the cam 10 to modulate the tightening of the rope and thus settle finely the speed of scrolling of the
  • the figure 1 represents the chute in a release position, obtained when the user continues to pull the lever 11 clockwise.
  • the lug 15 disengages from the abutment 16 and bears against a wall of the cam 10.
  • the lever 11 is found in a configuration without reduction of the drive, causing a direct and rapid displacement of the cam 14 to the position end of release stroke.
  • the cam 10 no longer blocks the rope as long as the lever 11 is held in this position by the user.
  • the lug 15 of the lever 11 remains in abutment on the cam 10 by establishing a permanent mechanical connection between the cam 10 and the lever 11. If the user is panicked during an uncontrolled descent along the rope, it may cling to the lever 11 by pulling strongly down. The rope is free, and the user can not stop at the expense of his safety.
  • the antipanic function is known per se on conventional self-braking descenders as illustrated in the documents EP 2777772 and EP 2018894 , but not on a descending insurer with gear ratio for unlocking the cam.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a rope descender insurer device, which can be easily unlocked manually to improve the fluidity of the descent along the rope, and benefiting from an automatic reblocking function in case of panic. 'user.
  • control lever comprises transmission means cooperating with a guide ramp of the flange to interrupt the mechanical connection with the cam after passing an intermediate position of the lever, causing the exhausting said ramp out of the reduction zone, and that the end of the flange guide ramp corresponds to the anti-panic position of the transmission means, allowing automatic locking of the cam as soon as the reduction zone is exceeded .
  • the transmission means comprise a drive rod articulated to the lever, and slidable along the guide ramp in said reduction zone for unlocking the cam.
  • the transmission means are provided with a drive shaft integral with the lever, and cooperating with a pawl pivotally mounted on an axis of the flange, said pawl being pushed by the drive shaft against the guide ramp during the reduction zone to initiate the drive of the cam in the unlocking direction.
  • the axis is configured to escape the clique in the intermediate anti-panic position.
  • an over-travel of the lever in the unlocking direction beyond the intermediate position restores the mechanical connection with the cam, and drives it directly without reduction.
  • the anti-panic function is manually reset by moving the control lever in the opposite direction to replace the transmission means in their original position on the side of the guide rail.
  • the flange 13 is provided with a recess 23 allowing the passage of the rod 20 when it moves along the ramp 21 of guiding after actuation of the lever 11 in the unlocking direction.
  • the recess 23 is delimited at its upper part by the guide ramp 21.
  • the cam 10 has a first orifice 24 for the passage of the axis 12 fixed in a hole 26 of the flange 13, and a second orifice 25 for mounting of the axis 14 of articulation of the control lever 11.
  • a second flange 27 is arranged opposite the first flange 13, and cooperates with a spacer 28 to hold the rope in place.
  • the second flange 27 can be fixed or tilting.
  • the cam 10 presses the rope against a braking surface 29, which is provided on a stud 30 inserted and fixed by a screw 31 between the two flanges 13, 27.
  • the two flanges 13, 27 are provided holes 33, 34 for hooking a carabiner attachment (not shown).
  • the figure 3 shows the descender on the side of the cam 10, after the installation of a rope 32.
  • the cam 10 is eccentrically mounted on the axis 12, and is shaped into a pulley around which is wound a loop of the rope 32.
  • FIGS. 4A and 4B represent the control lever 11 equipped with the drive rod 20, which can pivot about its axis 22.
  • the latter is threaded into a blind hole of the lever 11, in the vicinity of the circular hole 35 for the passage of the axis 14 of the lever 11.
  • a torsion spring 36 ( figure 2 ) is threaded coaxially on the axis 14 inside the orifice 35 to bias the cam 10 to the unlocking position.
  • the user unfolds the lever 11 by rotating it clockwise.
  • the link 20 bears on the ramp 21 which defines the reduction zone for driving the cam 10 in the unlocking direction with a reduced effort.
  • the rotation of the lever 11 causes the cam 10 to rotate in a predetermined ratio, for example 1/3.
  • FIGs 9 to 12 represent the various phases of manual reset to reactivate the antipanic function after the escape of the rod 20. It is sufficient to turn the lever 11 counterclockwise indicated by the arrow R ( figure 9 ), causing pivoting of the link 20 about its axis 22 when it bears on the flange 13 ( figure 10 ). On the figure 11 , the link 20 retracts by crossing the nose 38 of the flange 13, and returns to move into the original position inside the ramp 21 of the flange 13 by means of a spiral spring (see figure 12 ).
  • FIGS 13 to 19 show a second embodiment of an insurer descender D2 according to the invention. Most of the parts are identical with the same reference numbers, only the means of implementation of the anti-panic function are different from those of the aforementioned device D1.
  • the link 20 of the device D1 Figures 2-12 is replaced by a drive shaft 50 integral with the lever 11, said axis being intended to cooperate with a pawl 51 pivotally mounted on an axis 52 of the flange 13.
  • the pawl 51 is preferably made of stainless steel, allowing contact with the axis 50 with high endurance.
  • the shaft 50 pushes the pawl 51 bearing against the ramp 21 of the flange 13 to initiate the drive of the cam 10 in the unlocking direction.
  • the axis 50 is advantageously surrounded by a tube, for example stainless steel, to improve the sliding of the axis 50 on the pawl 51.
  • the recovery zone forces between the pawl 51 and the ramp 21 of the flange 13 allows a releasable release of the cam 10 when the descender D2 is under load.
  • the anti-panic function is reset by moving the lever 11 in the opposite direction to return the drive shaft 50 to its original position by virtue of the spring-mounted pawl 51. It suffices to return the lever 11 in the counterclockwise direction of the arrow R. At the beginning of rearming, the reaction of the axis 50 on the curved face of the pawl 51 causes it to be erased ( Figures 17 and 18 ). The drive shaft 50 of the lever 11 can thus return to its original position ( figure 19 ), with the anti-panic reset.
