  • Rope Grab Device For A Portable Power Driven System
    Publication number: 20230012442
    Abstract: A rope grab device for a portable power driven system adapted for advancing a rope includes an essentially circular rope grab, wherein the rope grab is adapted to, during operation, engage the rope along at least a section of a circumference of the rope grab. The rope grab device also includes a securing device comprising a leaver portion, a first roller arranged at one end of the leaver portion for guiding an unloaded end of the rope and an anchoring point arranged at the opposite end of the leaver portion adapted for receiving an anchoring force from a load connectable to the portable power driven system. The leaver portion is attached with a hinged connection arranged between the one end and the opposite end to the rope grab device and is adapted to, by means of the first roller, exert a pressure to the rope for forcing the roped towards the rope grab at a portion of the section where the rope, during operation, is engaging the rope grab upon applying the anchoring force on the anchoring point.
