Abstract: A clamping device includes a roller rotating around an axis. A member is fixed to the roller. The member is designed to contact a clamp. The member is mounted movable with respect to the axis to contact the clamp or not. Rotation of the roller generates a centrifugal force designed to move the member towards the clamp. When the speed of rotation of the roller reaches a threshold value, the member contacts the clamp to block the roller. The roller is provided with a stop mounted fixedly to the roller and has a fourth contact area. In the second member position, a third contact area of the member is pressing on the fourth contact area. The third contact area is arranged opposite the second contact area.

Abstract: The carabiner comprises a C-shaped body (1) and a gate (2) fitted movable between an open position and a closed position. The gate (2) is fitted rotatable with respect to the body (1). The gate (2) defines a cavity (2a) receiving a spring (4). A pusher (5) presses on the body (1). The spring (4) installed in the cavity (2a) of the gate (2) presses on the gate (2) and on the pusher (5) to bias the gate (2) to the closed position. The spring (4) is a coil spring extending along the longitudinal axis of the cavity (2a). The spring (4) and pusher (5) are fixedly mounted on one another to form a monolithic assembly.

Abstract: A blocking device comprises a body defining a groove, a plate movably mounted between a working position and an installation position with a rotating roller. A control device has a first catch and a second catch. When at least one of the first catch and the second catch is in a blocking position, the control device is in a locked position. The plate being in the working position, the first catch and the second catch in the blocking position are arranged protruding from or flush with the first wall. The first catch and the second catch are arranged in the blocking position, the second catch is more protruding than the first catch relative to the first wall.

Abstract: A roping harness is equipped with a first leg loop, a second leg loop, a first shoulder strap, and a second shoulder strap. A mechanical link connects a dorsal portion of the first shoulder strap and a dorsal portion of the second shoulder strap to the first leg loop and to the second leg loop. The mechanical link comprises a connector attached to the dorsal portion of the first shoulder strap and attached to the dorsal portion of the second shoulder strap and a dorsal link having a first end attached to the first leg loop and a second end attached to the second leg loop. The dorsal link passes through the connector and is capable of sliding freely relative to the connector between the first end and the second end.

Abstract: A roping harness includes a belt, a first and a second leg loop, and shoulder straps. The belt has an inner and an outer face. A first loop is fixed to the belt and designed for attachment of the shoulder straps. A second loop is fixed to the belt and is distinct from the first loop, the second loop being designed to form a ventral attachment point. A first strap defines a ring securely fixed to the belt and to the leg loops, the first strap being attached to the belt by a seam. The first and second loops are arranged in the ring, the first loop being outside the second loop and the second loop being outside the first loop. The first loop is arranged facing the second loop in a direction parallel to a first direction that passes through the inner and the outer face of the belt.

Abstract: A carabiner comprises a body having a first end and a second end and also a gate. The gate is installed pivotally movable with respect to the body, the gate being movable between an open position and a closed position. A latch presents a locked position and an unlocked position. In the unlocked position, the gate is free to move between the open position and the closed position. When the gate is in the closed position, moving the latch from the unlocked position to the locked position keeps the gate in the closed position. When the gate is in the open position, moving the latch from the unlocked position to the locked position keeps the gate in the open position.

Abstract: A crampon comprises: fixing and guide sections; a wire element connecting the fixing and guide sections, the wire element passing through first holes of the fixing section and second holes of the guide section; an adjustment device adjusting an effective length of the wire element; right and left obstacles arranged in the guide section and passed round by the wire element to introduce changes of direction; a friction element introducing at least one change of direction of the wire element between the right and left obstacles. The wire element has first and second ends that are respectively fixed to the right and left attachments. The first and second ends are fixed independently and in removable manner to the right and left attachments.

Abstract: A winder comprises a housing defining a cavity and a spool installed rotatable in the cavity. Rotation of the spool in a first or second rotation direction winds the wire element around the spool or unwinds the wire element. The wire element exits from the spool passing through a through opening of the housing. The spool arranges a channel receiving the wire element and that has a first end with at least one spiral turn. The first end of the channel is terminated by a wall. In a threshold position representative of maximum unwinding of the wire element, the wire element is wedged between the wall and a face of the housing bounding the through opening to form a stop preventing rotation of the spool in the unwinding direction beyond the threshold position.

Abstract: STRAP ADJUSTMENT DEVICE AND HELMET COMPRISING ONE SUCH ADJUSTMENT DEVICE An adjustment device is configured to adjust a position of a body along a strap. The adjustment device comprises a strap and a body. The body has a first face and a second face. The body defines a running path. The strap passes through the body along the running path. The body defines a first inlet/outlet slot and a second inlet/outlet slot terminating the running path. The body defines a first friction slot and a second friction slot that connect the first face to the second face. The first inlet/outlet slot and second inlet/outlet slot are separated by the first friction slot and second friction slot in a longitudinal direction of the strap.

Abstract: A roping harness comprises a belt and leg loops joined by a leg loop connection. A connector keeps the belt and the pair of leg loops together, the latter each passing through a connection ring of the connector. The belt and leg loop connection are movable with respect to one another and with respect to the body. The connector has a body, a rotation shaft and a first D-ring mounted rotatable with respect to the body around the rotation shaft. The first D-ring pivots around an axis of rotation parallel to a direction passing through the connection ring. The first D-ring is connected to the body by means of the rotation shaft fixedly mounted on the body.
