Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a self-locking safety device for rope.
  • the invention relates more specifically to a safety device intended to provide a user with a fixed wall in the field of climbing, mountaineering, acrobatic games, sports at height, or work at height.
  • a Grigri is a climbing gear designed to help secure the practice of climbing or acrobatic rope work. Its main function is to be a belay system with assisted braking in the event of a climber's fall. The insurer must not, however, relax on the climber and must use the device according to the instructions. Grigri is a registered trademark of Petzl, but its success is so important that its name sometimes refers to simply a self-locking chute.
  • the Duck is an emergency blocker designed to be used with ropes or on flat or tubular straps. It has a wide tether hole for rotating carabiners and is designed for easy installation as an emergency blocker, for emergency maneuvers, self-rescue, progression or as a tether adjustment.
  • This known device provides the use of a cam to tighten a rope when the rope is under tension, and a lever acting on the cam to release the rope gradually by a manual action on the lever.
  • the lever acts on the cam with an effect multiplied in an initial part of its release stroke and with a direct effect in a final part of its lever stroke so that the relative displacement of the cam relative to the lever is lower in the first part than in the final part, which allows a precise adjustment of the braking force and the running speed of the rope in the initial part of the lever stroke.
  • the present invention operates exactly at this level with the purpose of guiding or blocking the safety rope without intervention of the climber / climber.
  • the problem to be solved is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art and to find a self-locking rope safety device for climbing without a partner to ensure the user.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved rope self-locking safety device, usable for solo climbing, to guide or block the safety rope without user intervention and without the need of a partner to control the safety rope.
  • the self-locking rope safety device comprises the characteristics of the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the device is particularly intended for indoor climbing activities (a hall - indoor climbing). It is used to fully automatically secure the climber in the event of a fall and allows this activity to be carried out alone in a secure way without the need for a partner to control the safety rope.
  • the device is intended to be installed at the end of the climbing route.
  • the safety rope is threaded through the machine and is guided by electrical and mechanical components.
  • Device is fully automatic to secure solo climbing.
  • This invention relates to an apparatus respectively an installation composed of mechanical and electrical elements that guide, control and block a safety rope as used by users during an escalation.
  • the device must be installed at the end of the climbing route.
  • the safety rope 12 is threaded into the apparatus and is guided by electrical and mechanical components.
  • a rope safety device comprises a pair of pulleys 21 and 22 disposed on a support plate 1.
  • the first pulley 21 is mounted on a first axis 15 integral with the support plate 1.
  • the first driving pulley 21 is fixedly mounted by means of a fixing pin 15 on the support plate 1, being rotated by a actuating unit 2,3,4.
  • the actuating unit 2,3,4 comprises an electric motor 2 for actuating and controlling the rotation of the first pulley 21 and for setting the rope in motion.
  • the safety device further comprises a transport means 7,30,31 for guiding and ensuring the movement of the rope 12.
  • the conveying means 7,30,31 comprises a first pivoting arm 30 pivoting on a hinge pin 6 secured to the support plate 1, and a second pulley 22 mounted on the first pivoting arm 30.
  • the second pulley 22 is secured to the first movable pivot arm 30, pivotable about an axis 6.
  • the pulley 21 comprises a peripheral winding groove of the rope 12 adapted to receive the second pulley 22 and tighten the rope 12 held under pressure between the first pulley 21 and the second pulley 22 by a spring 7 traction.
  • a locking means 9,31 comprises a second pivoting arm 31 cooperating with a locking element 9 integral with the support plate 1 to cause the locking of the rope 12 .
  • the locking element 9 is fixedly mounted by means of a fixing pin on the support plate 1
  • the second pivoting arm 31 allows a tilting movement between a closed position in which the rope 12 wedged under pressure between the first pulley 21 and the second pulley 22 is set in motion by activation of the electric motor 2, and an open position in which the rope 12 is blocked by the locking means 9.31 and the electric motor 2 is deactivated so that the movement of the rope 12 is stopped.
  • the two pivoting arms 30, 31 movably fixed pivot on the main axis 6 and operate independently of one another.
  • the motor 2 is adapted to rotate at a substantially constant speed for climbing at a normal pace.
  • the electric motor 2 rotates the pulley 21 at a substantially constant speed to keep the rope tensioned during a normal climbing pace so that the safety rope 12 remains taut and climbing is secured.
  • the first pulley 21 is formed into a cylinder having an outer surface intended to cooperate with the second pulley 22 shaped as a cylinder, following the pivoting movement of the first pivoting arm 30 towards the closed position, the passage from the closed position to the open blocking position occurring when the tension of the rope 12 exceeds a predetermined threshold causing the tilting movement of the first pivot arm 30.
  • a tensioning or biasing spring 7 urging the first pivoting arm 30 in the unlocking direction towards the closed position is provided.
  • the threshold of tension or jamming of the rope 12 between the first pulley 21 and the second pulley 22 depends on the restoring force of the tension spring 7.
  • the tension of the spring 7 can be adjusted or adjusted by means of a adjustment element 8.
  • the rope 12 to be stretched is placed so as to be trapped and rest against the contact surface of the first and second pulleys 21 and 22 of the device.
  • the rotation of the pulleys 21 and 22 can then be controlled by the motor 2.
  • the tensioning device is normally used for winding the rope 12 during the jamming of the rope 12 between the first pulley 21 and the second pulley 22 due to the tensile force of the spring 7.
  • the locking pin 9 may be formed of a locking pin 9 integral with the support plate 1.
  • the positioning of the locking pin 9 is such that the rope 12 comes into engagement by wedging between this locking pin 9 and a blocking pulley 34 integral with the second pivoting arm 31 in the open position, so as to ensure a blocking sure.
  • This blocking occurs when the value of the tension exerted on the rope 12 is greater than a predetermined threshold and the second pivot arm 31 has made the tilting movement from the closed position.
  • the tilting movement of the second pivot arm 31 towards the locking position occurs during a fall of the user when the tension of the rope 12 exceeds the adjustment threshold of the apparatus.
  • the tilting of the second pivot arm 31 pivots the locking pulley 34 about the axis 6, from a closed position to a locking position.
  • the second pivoting arm 31 is articulated on the plate 1 in an axis 6 and is located opposite the first pivoting arm 30 which cooperates with the return spring 7 to urge the pulley 22 towards the closed position in which the axes 6,16, 33,34,36 are in horizontal alignment.
  • a switch mechanism 10 for activating or deactivating the electric motor 2. Following the switching of the second pivot arm 31 down, the switch mechanism 10 is disabled to trigger the stopping of the electric motor 2, and the safety rope 12 is no longer transported. Following the tilting of the second pivot arm 31 upwards in the closed (horizontal) position when the user resumes the climb, the switch mechanism 10 is reactivated so that the electric motor 2 restarts and the safety rope 12 is again switched on.
  • an alarm system is provided in the event of system failure. More particularly, a sound module can be provided to control the tension of the rope and prevent the climber in case of failure of the mechanism, for example during a power failure or an unexpected engine stop.
  • the safety rope 12 has been introduced into the system as described above.
  • the pulley 30, propelled by the engine 2 maintains the safety rope 12 which is between the pulley 30 and the pulley 31 under tension.
  • the tension on the safety rope 12 increases (the motor 2 continues to operate) and the rail 31 leaves the closed position (horizontal) to the open position.
  • the micro switch 10 is deactivated and the electric motor 2 stops, and the safety rope 12 is no longer transported. If the rise of the user starts again, the safety rope 12 expands and the spring 7 puts the rail 31 in the closed position (horizontal).
  • the micro switch 10 is again activated so that the electric motor 2 restarts and the safety rope 12 is again powered.
  • the same mechanism is put in place but the body weight of the climber makes the safety rope 12 remains blocked between the pulley 34 and the locking pin 9 which prevents the fall of the climber.
  • the tension of the safety rope 12 increases and the same mechanism as described above for a pause of the user takes place. If the climber has stabilized and wants to continue the climb, the same mechanism is set up as described after a break. For the descent of the user the climber must unlock the lock of the safety rope 12. It must pull on the return rope 13.
  • the safety rope 12 is held in a state of tension during the climbing of the escalator by the electric motor 2 which propels the drive wheels 21 and 22 via a belt 3 and a driving spiral 4.
  • the transport rail 30 is held in the mounted position by a spring 7. If the climbing is interrupted the rope 12 is energized and following this voltage a switch 10 is activated which causes the stopping of the electric motor 2 and driving wheels 21 and 22. During a fall the same mechanism takes place but in addition the weight of the user triggers the security mechanism ie. the rope 12 remains locked between the transport rail 30 and the locking bolt 9 following the inclination of the transport rail 30 down towards the locking bolt 9.
  • the spring 7 comes into action and puts the transport rail 30 in the up position, this activates the switch 10 and restarts the motor 2 and the driving wheels 21 and 22.
  • the climber causes the first the blocking of the system as described above. Then it puts a slight tension on the return rope 13 which triggers a lifting of the transport rail 30 and removes the pressure on the locking bolt 9 and releases the rope 12.
