Safety line traveller
A traveller for safety line for a fall arrest system has a slot extending to the exterior of the traveller and a safety line locating shuttle provided on-board the traveller wherein the safety line locating shuttle is movable relative to the slot along a predetermined path in a direction across the slot. This aids in accurate positioning of the safety line with respect to the traveller. The slot can be defined between opposed slot edges which are movable relative to one another to reconfigure the slot.
Carabiner and securing assembly for a safe securing system
A safety restraint system for a person comprising two carabiners configured to receive at least one restraint element, each of the carabiners comprising a hook for receiving the element, a gate comprising a first branch forming a door and a second branch for actuating the door, a first means for locking the gate in a holding configuration. The system further comprising a transmission device connecting the carabiners together, the device arranged to make it impossible to switch from a state in which each of the carabiners is secured to an element to a state in which neither of the carabiners are secured to an element.
FALL PROTECTION MODULAR RIGID RAIL SYSTEM
A rigid rail assembly for a fall protection system comprises a rigid rail segment and a hanger. The rail segment comprises an upper portion defining an elongate slot and a lower portion. The hanger includes a hanger body adapted to be connected to a support member and a hanger coupling member extending downwardly from said hanger body and which is adapted to be received in the rail segment slot. The rail segment lower portion has opposed elongate side walls extending downwardly and outwardly and a flange extending inwardly from each of said side walls. The flanges define a track for the wheels of a trolley.
Safety securing device and securing assembly comprising such a device
A safety securing device has two carabiners intended to receive a securing element. Each of the carabiners includes a hook provided with an opening. A detection device is activated upon insertion of the securing element into the hook. A closure door and a device for locking the door are coupled to a stressing device arranged to activate the locking device when the door is closed. The carabiners are interconnected by a transmission device that connects the detection device of one carabiner to the locking device of the other carabiner. The activation of the detection device of one of the carabiners triggers the deactivation of the locking device of the other carabiner.
SHUTTLE DEVICE
The present invention is directed to a shuttle device for a height safety system, the device including a first member having an inner wall defining a recess, the inner wall terminating at two sides to define a first opening. The device further includes a second member received in the recess of the first member, the second member being slidable relative to the first member to facilitate movement of the device between a locked condition and an unlocked condition. In the locked condition, the second member and a side of the inner wall define a second opening, the second opening being smaller than the first opening.
Universal continuous belay system
A fall protection system that is easy to assemble, up to international safety standards, and allows fluid progression. The system includes an at least engagement hook, an at least one bifurcating plate, an at least one cable tensioning anchor, and an at least one T-shaped anchor plate. The engagement hook includes a C-shaped body, a first stud, and a second stud. The first stud and the second stud are integrated through the C-shaped body, on either side of an interlocking gap of the C-shaped body. The user is attached to the engagement hook by a tether attachment hole of the C-shaped body. The bifurcating plate includes a cross-shaped body and a plurality of third studs. Each of the third studs is integrated through a corresponding leg of the cross-shaped body. The bifurcating plate, the cable tensioning anchor, and the T-shaped anchor plate are tethered by a system of cables.
Continuous safety or belay system
A bifurcation method and system for a passive continuous belay system that allows for a user to select multiple pathways using intermediate tracks. A main track and the intermediate tracks provide a linear passive continuous belay using an anchor mechanism that is configured to grasp the outside of the structural member track, using rolling elements and/or low-friction sliding. The user may select multiple pathways using intermediate lateral tracks to provide Cartesian movement at designated (e.g., perpendicular) transition or junction points. Desired tracks may be selected by a user via sliding along a support plate or track in a junction box and/or by rotating a portion of the junction box. Amusement attraction activities that include non-harnessed play may be intertwined or located adjacent to activities utilizing harnessed play.
HORIZONTAL LIFELINES WITH SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS
A shuttle device for a horizontal lifeline (HLL) includes a body portion including a slot configured to bypass an intermediate bracket of the HLL. An attachment shackle is connected with the body portion. The attachment shackle is configured to rotate the body portion under a fall-arrest load such that the slot is positioned away from bearing on a cable of the HLL.
FALL ARREST SYSTEM
A fall arrest system is disclosed. In one aspect, a structure may include a collar on the roof portion of the structure. A U or V-shaped anchor point has leaves or legs of the U or V-shape attached to spaced-apart locations on the collar. A cable may be attached to the anchor point and extended off the roof and down a side of the structure proximate to a ladder. A distal end of the cable may be tensioned by a cable tensioner. A rope grab may be attached to the cable. A pulley or similar structure may be used at the edge of the roof and side to protect the cable from rubbing against the edge. In use, a person attaches to the rope grab and climbs the ladder to the top of the structure.
CABLE SUPPORT SYSTEM
A cable carrier apparatus has a bracket having a vertical mounting surface interface for mounting securely to a post, wall, or other stable support, and a horizontal portion, a first roller rotatable on a vertical post anchored to be stationary relative to the frame bracket, with the first roller positioned below the horizontal portion of the bracket, the first roller having a circumferential groove symmetrical around an axis of the post and about a horizontal plane, the groove having a cross-section with a radius describing a portion of a semicircle, but less than a full semicircle, and a second roller matching the first roller and rotatable on a second post having an axis, the second roller mounted to be translatable against spring force away from the first roller, wherein a traveler translating on a cable being held between the two rollers traverses through the rollers, maintaining the cable between the rollers.
