  • Publication number: 20240207685
    Abstract: A camming clamping device comprises a head provided with an anchor point. A cam is installed rotatable around at least one shaft between a retracted position and an extended position. A spring is functionally coupled to the cam to bias the at least one cam to the extended position. An annular end is mechanically coupled to the head. A wire element connects the head and the annular end. The wire element is in the form of a ring. The ring is folded into a U-shape with two legs joined by a central portion. The two legs are fixed to the anchor point. Four strands of the wire element connect the head and the annular end. An actuating system has a trigger installed slidingly and configured to selectively engage the retracted position.

  • Publication number: 20240207684
    Abstract: A camming clamping device comprising: a head sub-assembly including a head provided with a cam and a rod sub-assembly having a rod and at least one wire element. The wire element passes through the rod. The rod delineates a through hole designed to receive a connector. The wire element delineates the through hole. The wire element defines at least one loop that is attached to head to constitute a mechanical continuity between the head and the attachment point. The at least one loop is passed through by a tube. The tube and the at least one loop are passed through by an anchorage fixed to the head to constitute the mechanical continuity between the head and the attachment point.

  • Publication number: 20240207683
    Abstract: A camming clamping device comprises a head with a cam installed swivelling around a pivot shaft between retracted and extended positions. An annular end is mechanically coupled to the head. A rod of variable length connects the head with an annular end designed to receive a carabiner. A wire element made from textile material passes through the rod to connect the head and the annular end. A trigger is installed slidingly to selectively engage the retracted position of the cam. An adjustment device of the length of the rod defines at least a distance between the head and the annular end that is greater than a threshold distance to stretch the wire element and compress the rod in the first direction.

  • Publication number: 20230003249
    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.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 9719552
    Abstract: The invention relates to a carabiner including a metal body, and a gate rotatably assembled to a first end of the metal body between a closed position and an open position of the carabiner, the gate being in contact with a second end of the metal body when the carabiner is in closed position. The carabiner is provided with a separation bar fastened to the metal body and configured to define two distinct confinement areas. The bar is assembled by clipping onto the metal body at first and second opposite ends of the bar, the first end comprising a first fastener totally surrounding the metal body, and the second end comprising a second fastener totally surrounding the metal body. The separation bar being configured to authorize the opening of the gate when the first and second fasteners surround the metal body.

  • Publication number: 20140154025
    Abstract: The dowel comprises: i) a stem with, at one end, fastening means and, at the other end, an expansion cone; and ii) an expansion bushing mounted around a portion of the stem adjacent to the expansion cone and through which the expansion cone is intended to be moved so as to anchor the dowel into an anchoring hole of a supporting material. According to the invention, the expansion bushing is free of slits and drilled with expansion holes along an opening area of the bushing.

  • Patent number: 7794190
    Abstract: A fastening system includes a base plate for receiving a fastening plug, the fastening plug having a shank and a head and the base plate includes a conduit for guiding and damping the shank of the plug. The base plate further includes a damping cup that is intended to house the head of the plug and the conduit following compression by the head of the plug, once the fastening plug has been driven through the base plate. The cup and the conduit are designed in such a manner that cooperation between the plug shank and the conduit causes the cup to at least partially cover the head of the plug when the plug is driven through the base plate.

  • Publication number: 20080181747
    Abstract: The fastening base plate includes a conduit for receiving the plug and support means intended to be applied to the component to be fastened. The plug comprises a shank and a head and the means for receiving the fastening plug comprise the conduit for guiding and damping the shank of the plug. The base plate moreover includes a damping cup in which the conduit, following compression by the head of the plug having a larger diameter than the conduit, and the head of the plug are intended to be housed once the plug has been driven through the base plate. The cup made of elastic material and the conduit are designed in such a manner that the cooperation between the plug shank and the conduit when the plug is driven through the base plate leads the cup to at least partially cover the head of the plug. The invention is particularly suitable for fastening wiring ducts.
