Abstract: There is provided a height rescue apparatus (4) comprising a flexible load element (6) for attachment at end (6a) to a safety line (3). The other end is attached to a flexible elongate element (10) wound on a drum (8) which is part of a speed control means. A flexible harness element (7a) is attached to a bracket (11) and is connected to a harness (2) arrangement. The flexible load element (6) is releasably connected to the bracket (11) and is intended to take the fall loads associated with a user falling. After such a fall the load element is released to allow a controlled descent using the elongate element (10) and the speed control means.

Abstract: A self-rescue device includes a rope operatively connected to a lifeline connector. The lifeline connector is releasably operatively connected to a frame member of the self-rescue device, and should a fall occur, the user releases the lifeline connector from the frame member. A centrifugal braking mechanism controls the rate at which the rope is paid out, which controls the rate of the user's descent.

Abstract: A self-retractable lifeline (“SRL”) having the combination of an active fall arrest braking system and a passive restraint distance limiting mechanism that allows a user to pretension and preset the distance that its cable is capable of paying out. The SRL's cable limiting mechanism includes a pretension assembly, which may include a pair of aligned plates and an actuator that temporarily mobilizes an arbor when the lever is opened. The arbor is affixed to the SRL housing and to an interior of a power spring that rewinds the cable back into the housing when the cable is paid out. The other end of the arbor is in a mechanical relationship to one of the aligned plates that prohibits rotational movement of the arbor when the aligned plates are engaged but allows rotational movement of the arbor when the aligned plates are temporarily disengaged. When pretensioning of the power spring is desired, the actuator is activated and a tension is applied onto at least one of the aligned plates to temporarily disengage them and to temporarily mobilize the arbor. As the arbor is affixed to the interior of the power spring, the number of rotational turns that the arbor makes causes the power spring to “pretension” and thereby limits the maximum cable payout by the number of turns. The active braking system for fall arrest is independent of the cable limiting mechanism. The SRL may optionally include a mechanism affixed to the opposite end of the arbor to reduce or eliminate overtensioning due to human error.

Abstract translation: 具有主动防坠落制动系统和被动约束距离限制机构的组合的自动伸缩救生索（“SRL”），其允许使用者预张力并预设其电缆能够支付的距离。 SRL的电缆限制机构包括预张紧组件，其可以包括一对对齐的板和当杠杆打开时临时动作心轴的致动器。 心轴固定到SRL壳体和电源弹簧的内部，当电缆被支付时，电源弹簧将电缆回绕到外壳中。 心轴的另一端与对准的板之一形成机械关系，当对准的板接合时，该对准板禁止心轴的旋转运动，但是当对准的板临时脱开时允许心轴的旋转移动。 当需要对动力弹簧进行预张紧时，致动器被启动，并且张力被施加到至少一个对准的板上以临时脱开它们并暂时动作心轴。 当心轴固定在动力弹簧的内部时，心轴产生的旋转匝数导致动力弹簧“预张紧”，从而将最大电缆支出限制在匝数之内。 用于防坠落的主动制动系统与电缆限制机构无关。 SRL可以可选地包括固定到心轴的相对端的机构，以减少或消除由于人为错误引起的过度张紧。

Abstract: A climb assist system is disclosed that dynamically adjust the rate and level of assist of a climber as the climber needs may change over the period of traverse of the ladder. A sensor detects the state of a person, such as the load exerted by the climber on a ladder exerts on an assist rope, to provided an upward support force on the climber to compensate the climber's weight. Additionally, a sender is provided to transmit the load data to a receiver and a receiver to receive the data from the sender. A controller interprets the received data and thereafter provides control through a controlled motor and drive to provide energy to the assist rope.

Abstract: A retractable lifeline safety device usable as heights above the ground. The safety device is attached to the structure on which the worker is performing the task, and a lifeline such as a cable is withdrawn from the housing thereof, the end of which is attached to a belt or harness worn by the worker. The cable may be easily drawn out of the housing in response to the worker moving about normally in the appropriate work space, and the cable is automatically drawn back into the housing of the safety device as the worker draws closer thereto. However, should the worker fall, a brake mechanism within the safety device is automatically engaged by a sprocket and pawl system, stopping the worker's descent.

Abstract: A safety device includes a locking mechanism connected to a first portion and a braking mechanism connected to a second portion. The locking mechanism includes at least one pawl and a biasing member urging the at least one pawl into an engaging position. The braking mechanism includes at least one tooth having an engaging surface, and the at least one pawl engages the engaging surface in the engaging position. The engaging position prevents rotation of the first portion in the first direction and allows rotation of the first portion in the second direction. A force of at least 250 pounds on the first portion allows the braking mechanism to rotate thereby allowing the first portion to rotate in the first direction. The braking mechanism is prevented from rotating when the force has been released from the first portion thereby preventing rotation of the first portion in the first direction.
