  • Patent number: 11071879
    Abstract: The descender comprises a handle and a cam that are movable between a securing position and a sliding position of the rope. The cam defines a first stop and a second pin. The handle has a first pin coming into contact with the first stop to form a first mechanical link and a second stop coming into contact with the second pin. Movement of the handle results in movement of the cam between the securing and sliding positions. In a threshold position of the handle, the first mechanical link is interrupted and the cam returns to the securing position. The second stop is movable with respect to the handle by means of a spring. When movement of the handle takes place, the second pin comes into contact with the second stop before the handle stresses a spring and reaches the threshold position.

  • Publication number: 20210186164
    Abstract: The device for adjusting and clamping a strap comprises superposed first and second rings to define a slot for the strap to pass through. The second ring presses on the first ring. The slot for the strap to pass through is bounded by an outer edge of the second ring and an inner edge) of the first ring. The two rings are movable with respect to one another so that the slot for the strap to pass through is of variable thickness. A bottom surface of the first ring opposite the top surface of the first ring has a textured area provided with several salient elements designed to form an increased friction area between the strap and the bottom surface of the first ring. The textured area is separated from the outer edge of the second ring by the slot for the strap to pass through.

  • Patent number: 10962210
    Abstract: A headlamp which includes a pivoting lamp body is presented. The headlamp includes a support with a fixing for a retaining strip on the head of a user. The support has a horizontal base, a first left lateral part and a first right lateral part perpendicular to the base of the support. A lamp body has a light source associated with electrical circuits allowing the control and regulation of the light source. The lamp body is housed between the first and second lateral parts. The lamp body is fixed to the support by means of a mechanical connection combining a pivot function and a translation function to hold the lamp body as close as possible to the support.

  • Patent number: 10960241
    Abstract: The fixing buckle includes first and second securing parts provided with coupling elements one of which defines a hook. A closure system is configured to define a first position preventing extraction of the first coupling elements from the second coupling elements and a second position allowing insertion and extraction of the first coupling elements. The closure system includes first and second closure plates each having a first position obstructing the hook and a second position configured to remove the first coupling elements. The first position of the first closure plate is configured to prevent movement of the second closure plate from its first position to its second position. The second closure plate separates the first coupling elements and the first closure plate along an extraction channel defined by the hook.

  • Publication number: 20210087028
    Abstract: The pulley comprises a securing head and a first flange. A first shaft extends from the first flange. A second flange and a sheave are mounted rotatable around the first shaft with respect to the first flange. A rod is fixed to the first flange and mounted movable between a first position and a second position with a first movement. In the first position, the rod engages with the second flange to keep the second flange in the first position. In the second position, the rod allows rotation of the second flange. A blanking plate is fixed on the second flange and mounted movable between a first position and a second position with a second movement different from the first movement. The blanking plate partially covers the rod to prevent movement of the rod from the first position to the second position.

  • Publication number: 20210009389
    Abstract: The tandem pulley comprises a pair of sheaves mounted in line between first and second flanges. A gate is fitted rotating with respect to the first flange between closed and open positions. The gate comes into contact with the second flange in the closed position to close a housing. The clamp is movable in rotation on the gate between a locking position locking the gate in the closed position and an unlocking position. The clamp has a prong pressing on the first flange and the gate in the locking position. The clamp has an actuating area separated from the first flange by the gate. Rotation of the actuating area from the locking position to the unlocking position corresponds to a movement of the actuating area away from the second flange. Rotation of the actuating area results in pivoting of the prong.

  • Publication number: 20200385028
    Abstract: A tandem pulley includes a support bracket having the shape of an inverted U. The support bracket defines a through hole. A pair of sheaves is arranged in line inside the support bracket. Each sheave is mounted rotating freely around a spindle fixed to the support bracket. A carabiner is fitted in the through hole. A connector is configured to connect the support bracket with the carabiner. The connector is configured in such a way as to allow rotation of the carabiner around an axis parallel to the spindles of the pair of sheaves. A spring is connected to the support bracket, the spring being arranged to exert a force on the carabiner biasing the latter to a rest position by rotation of the carabiner.

  • Patent number: 10828516
    Abstract: The self-clamping descender with pulley includes a first flange with a side wall defining a rope channel, a pulley fitted in rotary manner with respect to the first flange around a first axis of rotation, the pulley only rotating in a first direction of rotation around the first axis of rotation. The first axis of rotation is fitted movable with respect to the side wall of the first flange so as to define a first position and a second position presenting different distances with respect to the side wall of the first flange. Clamping of the pulley in the second direction of rotation results in movement of the first axis of rotation and pulley in the direction of the side wall of the first flange up to a threshold position.
