Abstract: A tensioner as well as a method for fitting a safety line cable on the tensioner. The tensioner designed for the safety of personnel attached to the cable while working under dangerous conditions. The tensioner has a fixing element configured to couple to an external element such as a wall and has two sections capable of separating and absorbing energy as a result of a fall of a worker while attached to the safety line cable. A section of the cable passes through and is crimped in a sleeve of the tensioner while the cable is kept under tension.

Abstract: A slide displaced along a life-line. The slide includes a body provided with a guide duct through which a cable passes. The slide further includes a handle that is capable of interacting with an attached connecting mechanism. The handle is articulated relative to the body such that the handle has a freedom of rotary movement of axis in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the guide duct and different from a direction of traction of the connecting mechanism of the handle.

Abstract: An energy absorption device for a safety line, includes two sections (1, 2) capable of being set in relative motion with friction so that it absorbs energy. This energy absorption device is designed so that one of the sections has at least two parallel cable portions (6a, 6b), each capable of being displaced between a pair of jaws (4a, 4b) formed on the other section. A tensioner for a safety line incorporating such a device is disclosed. Application to the installations for working under difficult conditions with the installation of safety lines.

Abstract: Device for supporting a safety line, in particular for preventing the accidental falling of personnel working in places presenting this risk, having at least one elongated tubular element for guiding the passage of the cable of the safety line, wherein this tubular element is retained by at least two supports, spaced apart and designed to be fixed to a fixed surface, characterized in that the elongated tubular element is of a flexible plastic material so that it is able to conform to the shape of a curve to be produced.

Abstract: An energy absorption device for a safety fixing system includes two sections capable of being set in relative motion with friction so that the device is able to absorb energy. The device has elements for adjusting the frictional force between the two sections. A safety fixing system incorporating the energy absorption device is also disclosed. The device maybe used in the safety systems that make use, in particular, of a life-line.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for supporting a safety line, in particular for preventing accidental fall of personnel working in sites involving such a risk, comprising at least one elongated tubular element (1) for guiding the passage of the cable (2) of said safety line, said tubular element (1) being maintained by at least two spaced apart supports (3) designed to be fixed to a stationary surface, characterized in that said elongated tubular element (1) is made of flexible plastic material, such that it can match the shape of a bend to be provided.

Abstract: Slide displaced along a life-line, includes a body (1) provided with a guide duct (38) on a cable and a handle (4) capable of interacting with an attached connecting mechanism, the handle (4) being articulated relative to the body (1), characterised in that the articulation of the handle (4) relative to the body (1) has a freedom of rotary movement of axis (35) in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the guide duct (38) and different from the direction of traction of the connecting mechanism on the handle (4).

Abstract: The invention relates to an energy-absorbing device for a safety fixing system, comprising two parts which can move frictionally in relation to one another such as to absorb energy. The invention is characterised in that the device comprises means for adjusting the frictional force between the two parts. The invention also relates to a safety fixing system comprising said energy-absorbing device. The invention is suitable for safety systems which, for example, make use of a lifeline.

Abstract: A method for fitting a safety line cable on a tensioner, wherein a section of the cable is crimped in a sleeve (11) formed by the tensioner. According to the invention, the following operations are carried out: passing the cable through the sleeve (11), keeping the cable under tension at its end projecting from the sleeve (11), crimping the cable in the sleeve (11). A tensioner for a safety line capable of carrying out this method is disclosed. Application to the installations for the safety of personnel working under dangerous conditions.

Abstract: Device for attaching a rod to a wall comprising a clip having a channel section and two parallel lugs. A first sleeve and a second sleeve each have a longitudinal slot. Each of the first and second sleeves have a cylindrical part which is adapted to be disposed between the rod and the channel section of the clip. The clip is adapted to be attached to the wall via the two parallel lugs.

Abstract: A sliding member for use with a life-line comprises a mobile jaw delimiting with a fixed jaw a channel for guiding it on a cable. The jaw is held partly open in an intermediate configuration, opened to mount the sliding member on the cable, and closed completely if traction is exerted on a handle connected by a line to a harness.

Abstract: A device for fixing a lifeline against a wall of a building includes a shackle with two flanges, a clip cut and bent to feature a channel section the edges of which are extended by lugs and two sleeves featuring a longitudinal slot enabling them to be mounted on the lifeline. Each sleeve is conformed to feature a cylindrical part which can be inserted between the channel section and the lifeline and extended by a part which becomes thinner towards its free end. The flanges of the shackle and the lugs each include a hole. The holes are aligned so that a nut-and-bolt fastener can be passed through them.
