Publication number: 20230048525Abstract: A rope comprises a core extending along a longitudinal axis and a sheath surrounding the core, the sheath extending along the longitudinal axis. A strap at least partially surrounds the sheath, the strap being separated from the core by the sheath. At least one thread passes several times through the strap, sheath and core to form several links fixedly securing the strap on the core and sheath. The links pass through a central section of the core, the central section corresponding to a circular section representing less than 50% of the cross-section of the core. The links are angularly offset from one another when observed along the longitudinal axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2022Publication date: February 16, 2023Applicant: ZEDELInventor: Jean-Marc HEDÉ

Publication number: 20220288431Abstract: A lanyard comprises a wire-like element with two ends. A reel with a spring is provided with a rotor that is movable with respect to a stator in two directions of rotation. The wire-like element is fixed to the rotor to be wound or unwound. A clamp is fitted movable between a position where the clamp is at a distance from the textured contact area to allow rotation of the rotor and a position where the clamp is in contact with the textured contact area to prevent rotation of the rotor. The clamp is mounted movable with respect to the stator to move under the effect of its weight according to the incline of the stator with respect to the gravity vector to move the clamp between the two positions.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2022Publication date: September 15, 2022Applicant: ZEDELInventors: Jean-Marc HEDÉ, Benoît ROGER

Patent number: 9433260Abstract: An attachment device for tightening an adjustable resistant strap, comprising a buckle composed of a pair of superposed rings of different dimensions. The buckle is associated with a positioning shim housed around a closed first turn arranged opposite the blocking slot of the strap. The positioning shim is configured to separate the top strand and the bottom strand of said turn from one another. This results in a reduction of the friction effect when relative movement takes place between the two rings. The shim is equipped for this purpose with two guide apertures through which the bottom strand and the top strand of the closed turn attached to the buckle respectively pass.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2014Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: ZEDELInventors: Jean-Marc Hede, Benoît Bouquier

Patent number: 8973509Abstract: A method for manufacturing a strap ring (1), made from a material woven with warp threads (3) and at least one weft thread (4) extending between the warp threads (3). The woven material is a tubular fabric (11) whose warp threads (3) extend parallel to the axis of extension of the tubular fabric (11), the strap ring (1) being made from an axial section (16) of the tubular fabric (11) which is axially cut up by cutting the warp threads (3).Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2012Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: ZedelInventor: Jean-Marc Hédé

Patent number: 8967600Abstract: This lanyard, which is movable by elasticity between a rest position and a stretched position, comprises a tubular sheath made from non-stretchable material, and a set of elastic threads joined to the sheath. According to the invention, the elastic threads define at least one longitudinal weaving zone in which they are woven on one surface of the sheath only, each weaving zone being proper to form a bending zone of the lanyard, in the rest position, in which the elastic threads are folded onto themselves.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2011Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: ZedelInventor: Jean-Marc Hede

Patent number: 8516666Abstract: A fixing buckle comprising a base provided with a latching hook for attaching a retaining ring, and a locking mechanism able to occupy a locking position and a releasing position to respectively secure and release the retaining ring on and from the latching hook. The locking mechanism comprises two locking elements independent from one another and each having a stop and a control button. The locking elements are formed by two levers pivotally mounted inside the cover, the stop being arranged at one of the ends of each lever and the control button at the other end thereof. Detachment of the ring is enabled on no load and when the buttons of the two levers are actuated simultaneously to the releasing position.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2011Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: ZedelInventor: Jean-Marc Hede

Patent number: 8322003Abstract: An attachment shackle has an open ring having threaded first and second end-parts arranged facing one another at the opposite ends. A rotary ferrule of tubular shape is fitted with screwing on the second end-part to close or open the space separating the two end-parts. A lock is arranged at the rear of the first end-part. The lock engages in a notch of the ferrule to perform locking in the closed position. Unlocking is performed by a manual releasing action of the lock allowing movement of the rotary ferrule to the open position.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2010Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: ZedelInventors: Paul Petzl, Jean-Marc Hede
