  • Portable lamp comprising an improved locking mechanism
    Patent number: 10012372
    Abstract: A headlamp with a light source, an electrical power source and several states controlling power sources and light beams is presented. The first state corresponds to at least one activated state in which the electrical power source is coupled to a light source to generate a light beam. The second state corresponds to a deactivated state where the electrical power source is not coupled to a light source and no light beam is generated. The third state corresponds to a locked state in which the electrical power source is not coupled to a light source and no light beam is generated; Also included is a switching mechanism to receive a first and a second physical user input through one switching element. A processor is coupled to the switching mechanism and is used to select one among the first, second and third states in response to the physical user inputs.

  • Light diffuser casing
    Patent number: 10012364
    Abstract: The invention relates to a light diffuser casing comprising an enclosure defining a cavity and provided with a closable opening configured to enable a headlamp to be inserted inside the casing. A light diffuser is arranged in the casing to receive a light beam coming from the headlamp and to make said beam diffuse on the enclosure. The light diffuser is made from a translucent or transparent material so that said beam passes through it, and the enclosure is made from a translucent material. The invention also relates to a method for using the casing.

  • SELF-LOCKING DESCENDER
    Publication number: 20180154190
    Abstract: A rope self-locking descender has a first flange, a cam movable with respect to the first flange successively between a first position, a clamping position of the rope and a running position of the rope in the first flange, a handle movable with respect to the first flange successively between a stowing position, a first position of use clamping the rope and a running position of the rope. A first spring is connected to the first flange and to the handle to return the handle to the stowing position. The cam is mechanically connected to the handle in intermittent manner so that movement of the cam from the first position to its clamping position of the rope results in movement of the handle from its stowing position to the first position of use. The handle is not mechanically connected to the cam between the first position and a running position.

  • ESCAPE SYSTEM USING A TEXTILE ELEMENT OF VARIABLE DIAMETER
    Publication number: 20180147422
    Abstract: An escape system including a textile support of variable cross-section including a first part having a first cross-section and provided with a first end and a second part having a second cross-section smaller than the first section and provided with a second end, a descender mounted sliding along the textile support from the first part to the second part, and configured to exert a braking force on the textile support. At least one brake mounted sliding along the textile support is placed between the descender and the second end, at a distance from the descender so as to allow movement of the descender independently of the brake. The brake able to move at least in the second part, configured to exert additional braking force on the textile support when moving the brake to the second end, configured to prevent the descender from moving alone in the second part.

  • ROPING HARNESS
    Publication number: 20180078799
    Abstract: A belt of a roping harness having a flexible knit support strip designed to support the dorsal part of a user, an adjustment device of the circumference of the belt having first and second ends fixed to the support strip in first and second positions, and at least three resistance threads each sewn onto the adjustment device in specific third and fourth positions. At least one of the resistance threads presents a larger length than the distance separating its third and fourth positions along the support strip. The belt includes guidelines formed by a knit fabric which secure the resistance threads with the support strip in separated manner from one another in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the support strip. The roping harness comprises a pair of leg loops having similar features.

  • LED lamp with a brightness control device
    Patent number: 9862303
    Abstract: The present invention provides a headlamp capable of producing different light beams and fitted with a dynamic control mechanism for controlling the brightness minimizing light interference in all situations. The lamp comprises a light source with LED-type diodes; means for controlling the brightness and/or the geometry of the light beam; capturing means for generating an electrical signal representative of the reflected light intensity of the area illuminated by said light beam onto an illuminated object; and a control unit for generating control signals from the information generated by said capture system. The lamp has capturing means includes a focal system having a variable field under control of the control unit. Preferably, the capturing means includes at least two sensors with fixed focal length or, alternatively, a single sensor may be combined with a single controllable focal system electrically.
