Abstract: A rooftop safety system for protecting persons from falling off a rooftop environment by employing fall protection which may include a ballasted fall prevention apparatus, and a fall protection anchor coupled to the ballasted fall prevention apparatus. A fall protection anchor may include an attachment device adapted to couple the fall protection anchor to a structure, an anchorage connector adapted to connect personal fall protection equipment to the fall protection anchor to deploy fall restraint. In one embodiment, an integral strain indicator made of a degradable material is placed within the fall protection anchor, and after a certain amount of force indicative of a fall impact is reached, deforms giving a visual indication to safety inspectors that a fall event has occurred. In an alternative embodiment the strain indicator can be formed into a housing which covers an attachment device as well as the post the attachment device is attached to.

Abstract: A screw shaft attached to the upper rail is screwed into a nut member attached to the lower rail. When the screw shaft is rotated with respect to the nut member by a drive unit, the screw shaft is moved rearward and forward with respect to the nut member, and the upper rail is also moved rearward and forward with respect to the lower rail. A fixing nut is fixed to an inner surface of the lower rail behind the nut member, and a stopper bolt is fastened to the fixing nut from below the lower rail. When the upper rail moves forward, a stopper portion provided at a tip of the stopper bolt contacts the stopper plate to restrict an excessive forward movement of the upper rail.

Abstract: A wiring harness 1 includes a wire 11, a binding band 20 to be wound on and fixed to the wire 11 and a housing 30 to be externally mounted on the wire 11. The housing 30 includes a restricting groove 46 for receiving the binding band 20. A displacement of the wire 11 with respect to the housing 30 is restricted by the binding band 20 being locked to a groove side surface 46A of the restricting groove 46. According to this configuration, manufacturing tolerances and assembling tolerances can be absorbed by setting certain clearances between the binding band 20 and the groove side surfaces 46A. Further, even if a tensile force is applied to the wire 11, the deviation of a winding position of the binding band 20 on the wire 11 can be suppressed.
