Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an attachment device configured for attachment to an anchor point. Background Technology
[0002] In many rope work operations, rope workers operate at locations far above ground level, and may find it difficult to descend to the ground or their attachment points. To avoid unnecessary movement, rope workers are equipped with the necessary equipment for their safety and to ensure they can perform their work correctly.
[0003] In exceptional circumstances, a ropework technician may injure himself, which tends to complicate his movement and / or reduce the speed at which he can move. In the most dangerous situations, the ropework technician may be unable to move. To ensure his safety in common injury situations, ropework technicians are equipped with a first-aid kit that must be readily accessible in the event of an accident. Ideally, the first-aid kit is secured to the rope harness to avoid having to move along the rope to retrieve it after an accident.
[0004] A balance must be struck between the ability to keep the first aid kit attached to the rope when it rubs against the rock face or gets caught on tree branches and the ability to easily remove the kit without compromising safety. Utility Model Content
[0005] One object of this invention is to provide an attachment device that can be easily attached to and easily detached from an anchor point, while reducing the risk of loss of the attachment device. Preferably, the attachment device can be released with one hand, further reducing the risk of loss of the attachment device once it is released.
[0006] This result tends to be achieved through an attachment device designed to be attached to the anchor point, the attachment device comprising:
[0007] - A clamp configured to attach to an anchor point, the clamp defining an open position and a closed position, the closed position preventing the anchor point from being pulled out of the clamp, and the open position allowing the anchor point to be pulled out of the clamp, the clamp having a support defining a hole and a rigid tab movably mounted relative to the hole, the rigid tab being in the hole in the closed position and outside the hole in the open position, wherein, in the closed position, the anchor point is designed to be located between the rigid tab and the support;
[0008] - A lock that defines a locked state and an unlocked state, the lock having a first part and a second part, the first part being attached to or released from the second part to define the locked state and the unlocked state, respectively;
[0009] The first component is attached to the rigid tab;
[0010] In the locked position, the first component restricts the movement of the rigid tab to prevent relative movement between the rigid tab and the support member away from the closed position, thereby holding the clamp in the closed position;
[0011] The second component is connected to the rigid tab or fixed to the support member;
[0012] In the unlocked position, the first component allows the rigid tab to be removed from the hole;
[0013] When the lock is in the unlocked position, both the first component and the second component are securely attached to the support.
[0014] According to one feature of this utility model, when the lock is in the unlocked position, the support member is connected to the rigid tab via a flexible component.
[0015] In an advantageous manner, the flexible member is terminated at a first end by a first component and at a second end by a second component. In the locked position, the flexible member forms a flexible loop around the support.
[0016] In a particular configuration, the attachment device to the anchor point includes an adjusting buckle configured to adjust the length of the flexible member and, in a locked position, tightly clamp the flexible member around the support.
[0017] In a favorable improvement, in the locked position, the rigid tab is located between the support and the flexible ring.
[0018] Preferably, the anchor point is designed to be located between the attachment wall of the support and the rigid tab. The attachment wall defines the edge. In the closed position, the rigid tab extends from the hole to the edge.
[0019] According to one embodiment, the hole is a through hole. In the closed position, the rigid tab passes through the hole and protrudes beyond it.
[0020] In an advantageous improvement, the anchor point is designed to be located between the attachment wall of the support and the rigid tab. The attachment wall defines an additional hole through which the rigid tab passes in the closed position.
[0021] Preferably, the support defines an openable housing that cannot be removed from the hole.
[0022] In another advantageous improvement, the support has a plate and an openable housing that is removably fixed to the plate, the openable housing being removable from the plate when the clamp is in the open position and not removable from the plate when the clamp is in the closed position.
[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the attachment device configured to attach a piece of equipment to an anchor point includes a rope harness, and the anchor point is a strap attached to a belt or thigh loop of the rope harness.
[0024] Advantageously, the openable outer shell serves as a first aid kit.
[0025] Preferably, the rigid tab has a curved portion, and when the flexible ring is in the closed position, the edge presses against the curved portion.
[0026] A particular advantage is that the support defines an additional hole, into which the rigid tab enters when the rigid tab is in the first position, and the hole and the additional hole are aligned in the direction in which the rigid tab slides between the closed and open positions.

[0037] Figure 10 A rope harness with a ring-shaped component designed to secure the attachment device is schematically shown. Detailed Implementation
[0038] Figures 1 to 10 Different embodiments of the attachment device 1 and the rope fitting 3 are shown. The attachment device 1 is configured to be removably attached to the anchor point 2, and the rope fitting 3 has a line element designed to form the anchor point 2. The line element may be a tape, rope, braid, fabric, textile element, or made of any other suitable material.
[0039] During high-altitude operations, the rope harness 3 may press against walls, tree branches, or other protruding elements that may exert force on the attachment device 1. To prevent the attachment device 1 from accidentally detaching from the anchor point 2, the attachment device 1 includes a clamp 4 attached to the anchor point 2 and a lock 5 that changes the state of the clamp 4 to enable or disable it.
[0040] The aim is to provide an attachment device 1 that ensures a secure and effective fastening to the anchor point 2, while being easy to open when necessary.
[0041] The attachment device 1 includes a clamp 4 configured to be fixed to the anchor point 2. The clamp 4 defines an open position and a closed position. The closed position prevents the anchor point 2 from being pulled out of the clamp 4. The open position allows the anchor point 2 to be pulled out of the clamp 4. The clamp 4 has a support 6 defining a hole 7 and a rigid tab 8 movably fitted relative to the hole 7. In the closed position, the rigid tab 8 is in the hole 7. In the open position, the rigid tab 8 is outside the hole 7. In the closed position, the anchor point 2 is designed to be located between the rigid tab 8 and the support 6.
[0042] The attachment device 1 forms an openable ring, at least its movable portion being formed by the clamp 4.
[0043] The rigid tab 8 is movably assembled relative to the support 6 so as to slide into or out of the hole 7. Advantageously, the sliding is translation.
[0044] Fixture 4 presented Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figures 5 to 9 The closed state shown and Figure 3 and Figure 4 The open state is shown in the image.
[0045] The attachment device 1 also includes a lock 5 that defines a locked state and an unlocked state. In order to open the clamp 4, the lock 5 must first be switched from the locked position to the unlocked position. The lock 5 typically includes two parts that cooperate with each other to define a position in which the two parts are securely fixed to each other and a position in which the two parts can move freely relative to each other.
[0046] The lock 5 has a first component 9, which is fixed to or detached from a second component 10 to define a locked state and an unlocked state, respectively. The first component 9 is connected to a rigid tab 8. The second component 10 is connected to the rigid tab 8 or fixed to a support member 6. In the locked position, the lock 5 prevents relative movement between the rigid tab 8 and the support member 6 from moving away from the closed position, thereby holding the clamp 4 in the closed position, i.e., holding the rigid tab 8 in the hole 7.
[0047] When the lock 5 is in the unlocked position, the clamp 4 can move from the closed position to the open position, thereby allowing the rigid tab 8 to disengage from the hole 7. When the lock 5 is in the unlocked position, both the first component 9 and the second component 10 are securely attached to the support 6.
[0048] When a ropework technician is injured, he typically treats the wound with only one hand. Therefore, he only has one hand free to retrieve and operate the first-aid kit. It is therefore advantageous to provide an attachment device 1 associated with the first-aid kit that can be released with one hand, reducing the risk of loss after the attachment device 1 is released from the anchor point 2. Once the attachment device 1 has been released from the anchor point 2, the first component 9 is securely fixed to the support member 6, the second component is securely fixed to the support member 6, and the rigid tongue 8 is securely fixed to the support member 6.
[0049] After an injury, if circumstances permit, the user will attempt to reach the unlocked position using only his available hand. Therefore, the user will act on one or the other of the two parts. It is therefore important that both parts are secured to the support 6 so that once the release action is complete, the user holding either of the two parts of the lock 5 is attached to the attachment device 1.
[0050] If the user has only one usable hand, it is advantageous that the release movement of the attachment device 1 is simple. The sliding movement of the rigid tab 8 seems easy to achieve. However, for the same reasons as above, it is preferable that the user remains in contact with the support member 6 when unlocking the lock 5 and opening the clamp 4.
[0051] exist Figures 1 to 8In the particularly advantageous embodiment shown, a flexible member 11 is arranged between the rigid tab 8 and the first component 9 to facilitate the application of force to open the clamp 4. In this way, when the user grips the first component 9, the movement of the first component 9 applies force to the rigid tab 8, while the flexible member 11 deforms, making it easier to open the clamp 4.
[0052] exist Figure 9 In the alternative embodiment shown, the first component 9 is directly connected to the rigid tab 8.
[0053] The first component 9 can be connected to the support 6 by means of an additional flexible member, such as the same flexible member that connects the first component 9 to the rigid tab 8, and preferably the flexible member 11 extends beyond the connection or possible attachment between the flexible member 11 and the rigid tab 8.
[0054] Particularly advantageously, the support member 6 defines an openable housing that cannot be removed from the support member 6. One or more of the walls of the openable housing advantageously define the outer wall of the support member 6. Alternatively, the support member 6 is provided with a plate 6' and an openable housing that is secured to be removable from the plate 6'. The plate 6' can be a standard plate, and different types of openable housings can be secured to the plate 6' to adjust the volume of the openable housing to suit requirements. Openable housings can vary by their size, their opening mode, or other characteristics. Thus, a user who already has their openable housing can secure it to the plate 6'. Particularly advantageously, the openable housing cannot be removed from the plate 6' when the clamp 4 is in the closed position. More preferably, the openable housing is secured to the plate 6' by a fastening device independent of the clamp 4 actuation, to reduce the risk of losing the openable housing when the clamp 4 is in the open position. Figure 8 An embodiment of a support member 6 provided with a plate 6' is shown, which can be removed from the openable housing, but this embodiment is also applicable to other embodiments shown. Advantageously, the plate and the openable housing are removable when the clamp 4 is in the openable position, and more preferably, other fastening members are used.
[0055] It is particularly advantageous that the first component 9 and / or the second component 10 are securely fixed to the openable housing without regard to any fixing between the openable housing and the plate 6'.
[0056] In an advantageous embodiment, when the lock 5 is in the unlocked position, the support 6 is connected to the rigid tab 8 via the flexible member 11. In the unlocked position, the flexible member 11 secures the rigid tab 8 to the support 6, thereby securing the first component 9 to the support 6.
[0057] In a particularly advantageous embodiment, in the locked position, the flexible member 11 terminates at a first end with a first component 9 and at a second end with a second component 10. The flexible member 11 forms a flexible ring around the support 6. The closer the flexible member 11 is to the periphery of the support 6, the more difficult it becomes to move the rigid tab 8, making opening the clamp 4 complicated or impossible. Preferably, the flexible member 11 is associated with an adjusting buckle 12 configured to adjust the effective length of the flexible member 11 between the first component 9 and the second component 10, thereby allowing for the adaptation of different or more / less fully openable housings. This embodiment is particularly advantageous when the openable housing can be separated from the plate 6' and / or when the openable housing has one or more flexible walls that allow deformation.
[0058] The larger the rigid tab 8, the more difficult it is to move it away from the closed position when the flexible ring is closed. Advantageously, the anchor point 2 is designed to be located between the attachment wall of the support 6 and the rigid tab 8. The attachment wall defines the edge. In the closed position, the rigid tab 8 extends from the hole 7 to the edge. The closer the shape of the flexible ring is to the shape of the support 6, the more difficult it is to move the rigid tab 8. When the flexible ring surrounds and contacts the support 6, the clamp 4 is difficult to open accidentally, even without applying a strong clamping force. The greater the length of the rigid tab 8, the more effective the fixation in the closed position.
[0059] The use of flexible rings is particularly advantageous because it makes it easier to adapt supports that can be associated with openable housings of different shapes.
[0060] Figure 10 An embodiment of the rope fitting 3 is shown. The rope fitting 3 includes a strap 3a and a pair of leg loops 3b. The rope fitting 3 has one or more line elements defining one or more anchor points 2.
[0061] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the support 6 is preferably in the form of an openable shell, such as a tool bag, and more preferably a first-aid kit. For example, the support 6 contains first-aid materials, advantageously at least one bandage, disinfectant, and possibly adhesive tape. In this way, the support 6 forms a first-aid kit.
[0062] It is conceivable that, in addition to the contents of the first aid kit, the openable shell can also house equipment to be installed by the user. The openable shell can be opened, for example by means of a zipper fastener or any other means that allows the openable shell to be opened to access its contents. The openable shell can be defined in any shape, preferably a parallelepiped, and more preferably a cuboid.
[0063] When the lock 5 is in the locked position, movement of the rigid tab 8 becomes more difficult because the length of the flexible member 11 is close to the circumference of the support 6 in the cutting plane that forms the ring around the support 6. Therefore, the ratio of the length of the flexible member 11 to the circumference of the support 6 is advantageously between 1 and 1.5, preferably between 1 and 1.25, and more preferably between 1 and 1.1. The flexible member 11 may be provided with an adjusting buckle 12 configured to adjust the length of the flexible member 11. The closer the length of the flexible member 11 is to the circumference of the support 6, the greater the friction at the edge of the support 6 covered by the flexible member 11. More generally, the attachment device may include means for adjusting the length of the flexible member 11 to clamp the flexible member 11 around the support 6 in the locked position.
[0064] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it is advantageous to use a lock 5 in the form of a clip, which can preferably be actuated with one or two fingers. The first component 9 and the second component 10 preferably have different shapes, so that the user can distinguish the first component 9 and the second component 10 by touch. Another lock 5 is possible, for example, having a ring and hook or a latching material.
[0065] To form the hole 7, it is advantageous that the support 6 includes a wire element 13, which is arranged to project and form a loop that receives the rigid tab 8 in the closed position. The wire element 13 can be a flexible element, such as a rope, belt, braid, or fabric. The use of the wire element 13 facilitates the deformation of the loop when the rigid tab 8 is in the open position, thereby making it easier to disengage the attachment device 1 from the anchor point 2.
[0066] exist Figures 1 to 4 In the specific embodiment shown, the support 6 has an additional hole 7', and even more advantageously, a ring formed by a wire element 13, such as the wire element described above. The use of two rings makes it possible to fix the position of the anchor point 2 and better maintain the position of the rigid tab 8.
[0067] In a preferred manner and as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the rigid tab 8 is curved. This rigidifies the rigid tab 8 and / or makes the application of forces designed to displace the rigid tab 8 to the release position more complex when the flexible member 11 forms a closed flexible ring.
[0068] Compared to the flexible member 11, the rigid tab 8 is less likely to bend following the orientation changes of the wall formed by its edges. Furthermore, the greater the rigidity of the rigid tab 8, the more difficult translation will be for a given force applied to the flexible member 11. For illustrative purposes, the rigid tab 8 may be formed from a single layer of wood, metal, composite material, or polymer material.
[0069] Preferably, the rigid tab 8 is located between the flexible ring and the support 6 to limit the possibility of movement of the rigid tab 8 and introduce friction.
[0070] In a particular embodiment, the rigid tab 8 is arranged to translate only within a slider defined by one or more holes 7 between a closed position and an open position. This translational movement complicates accidental actuation of the rigid tab 8.
[0071] By using the flexible member 11 attached to the rigid tab 8, the traction force applied to the flexible member 11 causes the rigid tab 8 to move between a closed position and an open position. Depending on these configurations, one end of the rigid tab 8 can be securely mounted to a portion of the wire element 13, or one end of the rigid tab 8 can only slide relative to a portion of the wire element 13 under certain conditions, particularly when a threshold is reached. In this way, when the user grasps the first component 9 to unlock the lock 5, the traction force applied to the flexible member 11 by pulling the first component 9 causes the rigid tab 8 to move to open the clamp 4. By continuing to pull the first component 9, the support 6 moves relative to the anchor point 2 to release the attachment device 1.
[0072] Because the rigid tab 8 is securely fixed to the flexible member 11 and the flexible member 11 is securely fixed to the support member 6, the user's action of opening the clamp 4 ensures that when the attachment device 1 and the anchor point 2 are separated from each other, the user will hold the component securely fixed to the attachment device 1. The risk of losing the attachment device 1 is very small or even non-existent.
[0073] Different configurations are possible so that force can be applied to the lock 5 and the clamp 4 by applying force to the first component 9. Figures 1 to 5 An embodiment is shown in which the support member 6 is surrounded by a flexible ring when the lock 5 is in the locked position. A first component 9 and a second component 10 are mounted to be movable relative to the support member 6 in the unlocked position. The closer the circumference of the flexible ring is to the circumference of the support member, the more difficult it is to move the flexible ring, thus complicating the movement of the rigid tab 8. The deeper the rigid tab 8 is inserted into or protrudes from the hole 7, the more difficult it is to disengage from the closed position. This is especially true when the rigid tab 8 extends from the hole 7 to one edge of the support member 6. The second component 10 can be used to prevent the support member 6 and the flexible member 11 from separating from each other, for example, by having a width greater than the width of the hole through which the flexible member 11 passes.
[0074] Figure 6Another embodiment is shown where the second component 10 is fixedly mounted to the support 6. The flexible member 11 extends in one hand to the first component 9 and in the other hand to an attachment area designed to be fixed to the support 6. The attachment area and the first component 9 restrict the movement of the flexible member 11, thereby restricting the movement of the rigid tab 8 to prevent the clamp 4 from opening. Once the first component 9 has been released from the second component 10, i.e., the lock 5 has been unlocked, the force applied to the first component 9 applies stress to the attachment area, causing the attachment area to yield, thereby allowing the rigid tab 8 to move. The attachment area serves to prevent the support 6 and the flexible member 11 from separating from each other.
[0075] Figure 7 It shows the corresponding Figure 6 In another embodiment of the alternative embodiment, the second end of the flexible member 11 is fixed to the first component 9 or the second component 10, and the second component 10 is fixed to the support member 6 in a fixed manner. When the first component 9 is separated from the second component 10, the second end of the flexible member 11 is free to move. The force applied to the first component 9 to remove the rigid tab 8 out of the hole 7 is not prevented by the second end of the flexible member 11. The connection between the second end and the first component 9 and / or the second component 10 can be a one-time connection, indicating that the support member 6 has been used.
[0076] Figure 8 Another alternative embodiment is shown, in which the first component 9 and / or the second component 10 act directly on the rigid tab 8 to prevent or allow movement of the rigid tab 8. When the first component 9 separates from the second component 10, the obstruction to the rigid tab 8 is eliminated. When the first component 9 separates from the second component 10, the second end of the flexible member 11 is free to move. The force applied to the first component 9 to move the rigid tab 8 out of the hole 7 is not blocked by the second end of the flexible member 11. The obstruction can be achieved by a wire element, such as a rope or belt.
[0077] Figure 9 Another alternative embodiment is shown, in which the rigid tab 8 extends continuously from the hole 7 to the first member 9. The fixation of the first member 9 to the second member 10 greatly restricts the movement of the rigid tab 8. This embodiment is less advantageous than the previous one because using a rigid tab 8 extending on multiple faces of the support 6 makes the movement of the rigid tab 8 from the closed position to the open position more complex. Such movement can be very difficult to perform with one hand when suspended in the rope harness 3 and injured. Using a flexible member 11 between the first member 9 and the rigid tab 8 means that the force enabling the sliding of the rigid tab 8 is better directed. Furthermore, a rigid tab 8 with a single curved portion is advantageous. More advantageously, the rigid tab 8 has a first portion and a second portion separated by the curved portion, the first portion being longer than the second portion. The first portion is designed to insert into the hole 7. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the flexible member 11 extends from the attachment wall, around the edge, to the other wall of the support 6. The flexible member 11 restricts the displacement of the rigid tab 8 relative to the hole 7. The flexible member 11 passes through the rigid tab 8, thus determining its direction of movement relative to the support 6 and the anchor point. The tighter the flexible member 11 is relative to the support 6, the more difficult it is to move the rigid tab 8. The rigid tab 8 is preferably L-shaped. The flexible member 11 bypasses the edge, thereby locking the curved portion.
