Publication number: 20240124274Abstract: An extendable needle davit assembly has an extendable beam comprising a fixed beam portion, and a telescopic beam portion slidably receivable within a distal end of the fixed beam portion. An intermediate lateral bracing frame holds the extendable beam at an angle. The fixed beam portion is a single-piece construction, and a proximal end of the fixed beam portion is anchored. An upper end of the bracing frame is attached to a distal attachment point of the fixed beam portion, such that a distal portion of the fixed beam portion extends beyond the bracing frame. A lower portion of the bracing frame is attached to a proximal attachment point of the fixed beam portion by means of a rear brace.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Barry VOSS, Murray VOSS

Publication number: 20240100374Abstract: A height safety trolley and modular rigid rail system for construction and maintenance personnel working at height is designed to allow continuous, smooth and fail-safe operation, for fall restraint and fall arrest, rope access and abseil. The height safety trolley has a connection arm, a clip body and a main chassis operably interfacing a rail engagement mechanism, movable between a rail engagement position to engage a rigid rail, and a disengagement position to disengage the rigid rail. The rail engagement mechanism may comprise integral pivot arms which close simultaneously inwards to engage the rigid rail and outwards to disengage the rail. As such, the trolley is easily and safely attachable and detachable at any position along the rigid rail.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Barry VOSS, Murray VOSS

Publication number: 20240100373Abstract: A fall protection safety rail system has a rail defining a trolley channel therein. The rail also defines exterior side and top attachment channels. The system has a support which engages the side attachment channels to support the rail either side thereof. One type of support may comprise a hanger channel bracket having a web and flanges spaced apart so that the flanges fit against the sides of the rail. The side and top attachment channels may be dual-purposed for connecting rail sections together using respective splices. Furthermore, the side attachment channels may overlap with the trolley channel along a vertical axis but not along a horizontal axis to confer a low profile rail configuration having enhanced resilience and capability.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Murray VOSS, Barry VOSS

Publication number: 20240102302Abstract: A fall arrest roof mount anchor is designed to secure construction and maintenance personnel working at heights, utilising harness and lanyard fall protection equipment. The roof mount anchor comprises a mounting plate having a uniform cross-section defining a raised central portion and side portions for roof attachment. The raised central portion has a swivel eye anchor point for attachment of conventional height safety harness hardware.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Murray VOSS, Barry VOSS

Publication number: 20220280818Abstract: A structural post for fall arrest and rope access has a baseplate having baseplate fixing holes. A vertical mast is attached to an upper surface of the baseplate, and a main attachment plate comprising main attachment plate fixing holes is affixed to an upper end of the mast. The structural post may be mounted to concrete floor garden landscapes, steel structures and the like on high-rise buildings, for fall arrest and rope access, and which facilitates versatility and adaptability for various locations and applications, for construction, beside cleaning and other building and maintenance activities.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2021Publication date: September 8, 2022Inventors: Murray VOSS, Barry VOSS

Publication number: 20220193470Abstract: A davit assembly comprises a vertical structural column connecting a horizontal structural beam between a longer forward beam portion and a shorter rearward beam portion thereof, an angled support brace tensioned between a lower region of the structural column and an end of the shorter rearward beam portion and a primary rigging anchor slidably engaging the forward beam portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2021Publication date: June 23, 2022Inventors: Murray VOSS, Barry VOSS

Patent number: 11091957Abstract: A modular ladder system has a rung section having two elongate lateral stile extrusions and elongate rung extrusions spanning therebetween. Each stile extrusion may define an attachment side having an attachment face which has two attachment channels which are adjacent, parallel and longitudinally arranged along the attachment face. Each attachment channel may have inward facing rails which define an elongate insertion space therebetween and a relatively wider connector head accommodation void thereunderneath. Furthermore, each rail may define a connector head engaging under edge. Each stile extrusion may further define a connection side adjacent to the attachment side which may define a splice joint extrusion accommodating void therein. In this way, the present modular ladder system may be quickly and easily constructed and various accessories quickly and easily attached thereto.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2018Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: SAYFA R&D PTY LTDInventors: Barry Voss, Murray Voss

Patent number: 11052270Abstract: A vertical fall arrest safety device travels along a rail of a vertical track and is configured for quick attachment and detachment anywhere along the rail. The device has a mounting body having side rail engagements configured for slidably engaging behind the edges of a rail of the vertical track in use. The engagements are spaced and staggered so as to receive the rail therebetween when the mounting body is at an angle, and then slidably attach to the rail when the mounting body is twisted into alignment with the rail. The device also has a lever pivotally coupled to the mounting body at a fulcrum. As such, when a downward force is applied to a connection point of a distal end of the lever, an opposite distal end of the lever frictionally engages the rail.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2019Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: SAYFA R&D PTY LTDInventors: Murray Voss, Barry Voss

Patent number: 6605793Abstract: The switch includes a microswitch switching mechanism having a biassed plunger. The body of the switching mechanism is covered by a lid having a user-operated slider mounted thereon. Movement of the slider is confined to a track formed in the lid. A cam surface is provided on a part of the slider which is engageable with the plunger of the switching mechanism. The “over-centre” profile of the cam surface is such that movement of the slider in one direction causes the plunger to be depressed and then released. Inadvertent operation of the switch is avoided due to the cam profile.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2002Date of Patent: August 12, 2003Assignee: ITW LimitedInventors: Mark Jonathan Banfield, Barry Voss
