Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an arresting belt for fall protection of a user according to the preamble of claim 1 . Background Art

[0002] Arresting belts for fall protection of users are known in the prior art. Arresting belts are used in principle to arrest the free fall of a user. The arresting belt may consist of a belt body, fittings, buckles and other components, wherein the components are arranged so that the arresting belt can support the entire body of the user and keep it in place during and after the fall is arrested. The arresting belt may be part of an arresting system, which may include a stop device, such as a rope safety device.

[0003] Interceptor strips are often used in conjunction with radio remote controls for lifting equipment, particularly when the lifting equipment needs to be operated remotely from a position higher than the ground on the job site.

[0004] Radio remote controls can weigh, for example, in the range of 2 to 3 kg and, due to their high weight, are usually carried by the user on the body with the aid of an additional shoulder strap. During prolonged carrying, fatigue phenomena, pressure points and back pain can occur. Furthermore, in combination with a stopper strap, in particular when manual handling of the load is required (e.g., to stop the load), the stopper strap and the shoulder strap can interfere with each other. In this case, it may also be disadvantageously necessary to remove the radio remote control. Summary of the invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide an improved interception strip compared to the prior art, in which in particular the above-mentioned problems do not occur.

[0006] This object is achieved by an interception strip according to claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are defined in the dependent claims.

[0007] In principle, an arresting belt can be understood as a holding device for the user's body, which is used to arrest the user's free fall. The arresting belt can be part of a personal protective equipment for working at heights.

[0008] The arresting belt according to the present invention comprises at least one waist belt, leg loops, shoulder straps and at least one chest arresting buckle and / or at least one back arresting buckle, wherein these parts are arranged so that the arresting belt supports the whole body of the user and keeps the user in a proper position during and after a fall.

[0009] The waist belt may be at least partially looped around the hip area of ​​the user and is advantageously made of a belt material.

[0010] The leg loop can be wrapped around the leg of the user in an annular manner, in particular at least partially in the thigh region, and is advantageously made of a belt material.

[0011] The shoulder strap can be looped at least partially around the upper part of the user's body, in particular the shoulders, and is advantageously made of a belt material.

[0012] The interception buckle is used as an attachment point for a holding mechanism, such as a safety line. The interception belt can have at least one front, chest-side interception buckle and / or a rear, dorsal interception buckle. The interception buckle can be constructed as a single attachment point or divided into two points. If an interception buckle is divided into two points, these two points can be combined during attachment.

[0013] Interceptor buckles on the chest can be connected to the waist belt and / or shoulder straps.

[0014] The interceptor buckle on the back can be connected to the waist belt and / or shoulder straps.

[0015] The waist belt can be connected to the leg loops via at least one connecting tab.

[0016] The waist belt can be connected to the shoulder belt via at least one connecting tab.

[0017] The intercepting belt can have padding, in particular in the region of the waist belt and in the back region.

[0018] The interception belt according to the invention is characterized in that the interception belt has a guide extending at least partially along the waist belt, and a retaining plate is supported in a movably manner on or in the guide by a supporting device, wherein the retaining plate has a connecting mechanism for releasably connecting a radio remote control device.

[0019] In other words, on interception belt according to the present invention, the radio remote control device can be movably supported on the waistband of the interception belt. This is realized by the retaining plate movably supported on the waistband and the connecting mechanism for releasably connecting the radio remote control device.

[0020] By supporting the radio remote control on the waist belt, an optimized distribution of the weight of the radio remote control can be achieved. In the connection of the waist belt to the shoulder belt, a particularly advantageous distribution of the weight of the radio remote control can be achieved.

[0021] Since the intercepting belt has a guide extending at least partially along the waist belt, the retaining plate for the radio remote control device is movably supported on or in the guide via a supporting device. Therefore, the radio remote control device arranged on the intercepting belt in this way can be moved along the waist belt, thereby enabling the user to achieve more freedom of movement without having to, for example, remove the radio remote control device.

[0022] The bearing device can advantageously enable a linearly guided movement of the holding plate relative to the guide element.

[0023] In particular, the guide element can be designed to be substantially continuous along its extension at the waist belt, thereby enabling substantially uninterrupted displaceability along the waist belt.

[0024] Advantageously, the support device can have at least one support location between the retaining plate and the guide, and the support location is configured as at least one sliding bearing and / or at least one rolling bearing. By this configuration of the support device, it is also possible to realize movement for a radio remote control device with a large mass.

Thus, the holding plate and the radio remote control device which can be arranged thereon can be locked in at least one position along the waist belt. The locking can be formed by a form fit and / or a friction fit between the holding plate and the guide element.

[0027] The guide element can extend at least between a chest position at the waist belt and a position remote from the chest position. The chest position can essentially correspond to a position directly in front of the user's body. Here, the radio remote control arranged at the holding plate can be comfortably operated by the user. The position remote from the chest position can correspond to a position essentially remote from the position directly in front of the user's body. In particular, this can correspond to a laterally remote position. Here, the radio remote control arranged at the holding plate can be arranged laterally at the user's body, for example to achieve more freedom of movement.

[0028] The holding plate can be moved at least between a chest position at the waist belt and a position moving away from the chest position. Thus, the radio remote control device arranged at the holding plate can be basically continuously moved. Moves between a chest-side position at the waistband and a position away from the chest-side position.

[0029] In one embodiment, the guide can extend substantially along a quarter of the longitudinal extension of the waistband. Here, the holding plate and the radio remote control device arranged thereon can for example move between a position in front of the user's body and a position lateral to the user's body.

[0030] In another embodiment, the guide can extend substantially along half of the longitudinal extension of the waistband.At this, the holding plate and the radio remote control device arranged thereon can for example move between a position in front of the user's body and a position behind the user's body.

[0031] In another embodiment, the guide can extend substantially completely along the longitudinal extension of the waistband.At this, the holding plate and the radio remote control device arranged thereon can be moved to any position around the user's body.

[0032] In an advantageous embodiment, the waist belt can have a surrounding retaining belt which is at least partially covered or surrounded by a sheath, wherein the guide is at least partially formed on or in the sheath. The retaining belt can be provided for supporting the body of the user and is designed as a support element of the waist belt in the event of a fall or after a fall. The sheath can be designed separately from the retaining belt, wherein the guide for supporting the retaining plate can be at least partially formed on or in the sheath.

[0033] The guide can be formed at least in sections at or in the free end of the sheath extending along the retaining strip.

[0034] The sheath can be made of plastic, for example.

[0035] The holding plate can be movably supported along the jacket. Thus, for example, the movement of the holding plate can be prevented from causing the wear of the holding belt.

[0036] The guide can be formed by an opening in the covering, into which the fastening means of the holding plate engage, whereby the holding plate can be mounted displaceably in the covering.

[0037] The sheath can be connected with the holding belt at least in sections. In particular, the sheath can be sewn with the holding belt.

[0038] The holding plate can have a fixing means which engages the guide at least in sections from behind. Thus, a positive fit at least in sections can be formed between the holding plate and the guide.

[0039] The holding plate can advantageously be connected to the radio remote control in a form-fitting manner by means of a connecting means. For this purpose, the radio remote control can have an opening in the housing, for example, or be provided with an adapter plate having a corresponding opening.

[0040] Protection is also claimed for an assembly comprising a holding strip as described above and a radio remote control device, in particular a radio remote control device for a lifting device, which can be arranged on a retaining plate of the holding strip.

[0041] The radio remote control can have at least one opening in the housing for fastening to the intercepting strip, which opening can be engaged from behind by a hook-shaped connecting means.
