Embodiment Construction

[0072] figure 1 Shown is a device 1 according to the invention intended to support a respective user while ascending a rope prearranged in a generally vertical or inclined position, for example in a metal structure such as a tower, column or tall building up or down steep hills.

[0073] Typically, the device comprises at least one actuating element 2, preferably a motor, which may be a battery powered motor or an internal combustion engine fueled by diesel, gasoline / lubricating oil mixture. In the embodiment shown in the figures, the motor 2 is an internal combustion engine motor and the reference numeral 3 is used to designate a fuel tank. Pull-to-start activation can be performed by means of the cable 4 .

[0074] Typically, the activated motor 2 can be actuated by the user by means of a button panel, a remote control or an actuating lever or the like. Preferably, such a control element allows to control the rotation of the shaft of the motor 2 in two directions of rotat...

Abstract

The invention regards to a portable ascender device (1) on a rope (8) comprising an actuation element (2), manual or motor- driven, a nautical winch (5) provided with a self-tailing (52), rotated by the actuation element (2), and at least one first forced passage (9) of the rope (8) in proximity to the winch (5). The first forced passage (9) is arranged upstream of the winch (5) with respect to the rope (8) winding direction. A method for hoisting oneself by means of such device (1) along a vertically stretched rope (8), and two methods for descending along the rope (8) by means of the same device (1), respectively in active mode and in passive mode, are also described.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a rope ascending device and a method of using the device by an operator. Background technique [0002] Motorized devices are already available on the market which allow to raise themselves, ie along a rope stretched vertically and fixed to a raised anchorage point. Generally, the raising means referred to consist of a pulley and a corresponding actuating motor, which may be of the electric or internal combustion engine type. The abutment for the rope obtained around the pulley has a rounded U-shaped cross-section to allow gripping of the maximum rope outer surface. Typically, the motor with a corresponding battery or fuel tank is fixed to a small frame with a handle that can be grasped directly by the user and a harness for anchoring to be donned by the user himself. Once secured to the device, the user activates the motor to at least partially wind the rope onto the pulley, causing the user to ascend vertically along...
