Airbag compartment enclosure assembly
An airbag compartment enclosure assembly is disclosed, including a compartment containing an uninflated airbag and a closure device fixed proximate an opening of the compartment. The closure device has an open position allowing expansion of the airbag through the opening and a closed position retaining the uninflated airbag. The closure device includes a first flap extending from a first edge of the opening and a second flap extending from a second, opposing edge of the opening. The first and second flaps are folded over one another in the closed position.

BELAY DEVICE
A belay device may include a front plate with a first lobe and a back plate with a second lobe. The belay device may be engageable and disengageable such that the first lobe is separated from the second lobe at a first distance and a second distance, respectively. The belay device may maintain ability to operate when the belay device is disengaged. The belay device may include a handle and cam pin that cooperate to create a mechanical advantage for controlling separation distance between the first and second lobe. The handle may prevent rotation in a first direction via a lockout protrusion. The handle may prevent rotation in a second direction via a handle stop and/or a retaining rib. The belay device may include an ergonomic feature to accommodate a user's hand placement and/or shroud rotation of the front plate.

ROPE HAULING AND DEPLOYMENT CONTAINER AND SYSTEM FOR RAPPELLING
The present disclosure relates to an article and related system for hauling and deploying rope, including a main body having an upper portion defining a rim portion forming at least a portion of a primary opening into an interior chamber of the main body, a divider wall separating the interior chamber into at least two separate compartments inside the main body, a lid extending from the upper rim of the main body, the lid movable between a first orientation allowing access to the primary opening and a second orientation at least partially covering the primary opening, the lid having a peripheral edge forming a continuous extension of the rim portion that defines the portion of the primary opening, the lid including a loop structure at a central location on a free edge of the lid and an elongated seam binding attached to and covering the entirety of the peripheral edge and the rim portion, the seam binding forming a load bearing structural loop and a guide surface along the length of the rim portion and peripheral edge of the lid for smoothly engaging a length of rope deployed from the container.

Express sling for the sport of climbing with a lift system and visual display for the use frequency
A quickdraw for sport climbing includes two carabiners held together by a connecting element having a central region which ends in a loop for the carabiners at each of the two end regions. This connecting element is provided with at least one sensor in the central region between the loops or near to one of the loops. As a result of a minimal movement or touch of the quickdraw, the at least one sensor, triggered by use of the quickdraw, emits an electronic signal which is received by a base station communicating with a smartphone and/or a computer so that the signal can be processed, stored and compared with previously stored signals in order to show or graphically represent the corresponding values resulting therefrom on the display.

Climbing action structures
A climbing action structure includes a support structure having a plurality of columns configured to be fixed relative to an underlying surface and support at least one header of a plurality of headers above the underlying surface. A climbing action space is defined between the columns, the headers, and the underlying surface that is devoid of intruding structure. The headers define a plurality of action element mounts, each defining a longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the underlying surface. At least one action element is removably coupled to the support structure at a respective action element mount. The action element includes a top end having a header connection member. The header connection member being coupled to the respective action element mount and adjustably positionable along the longitudinal axis, and the action element is disposed within the climbing action space and a participant has 360° access to the action element therein.
EDGE PROTECTOR MAT
An edge protector mat is formed from a mat with a top surface, a bottom surface, and a number of metal bars. The top surface contains a number of receptacles grouped into one or more pairs sized, shaped, and otherwise configured to receive opposing ends of the metal bars therein. Each of the metal bars define opposing ends, different ones of which are positioned within corresponding ones of the pair of the receptacles of the top surface. The metal bars are configured to prevent friction from being imparted onto the mat. At least one pair of the receptacles are positioned opposite one another on the mat allowing receipt of different portions of at least one of the metal bars.
