  • Patent number: 9033103
    Abstract: A traveller for a fall arrest system including a body having a bore and a slot narrower than the bore linking to the bore to the exterior of the body. A load member is connected to the body for pivotal movement relative to the body and suitable for attachment to fall safety equipment. The body has a center of gravity positioned so that when the traveller is supported on a safety line passing through the bore, the body will be urged by gravity to rotate about the safety line towards a position in which the slot has a predetermined orientation relative to the safety line.

  • Patent number: 7950496
    Abstract: A support for a safety line of a fall arrest system includes a support section having a tube through which the safety line extends, an arm for attachment to a structure, an arm that is narrower than the support and that mounts the tube on the attachment, and at least one guide surface for rotating a traveller on the safety line for movement past the support.

  • Publication number: 20080105644
    Abstract: A tamper-evident closure for a container, the closure including a first portion including inner and outer parts, and a second portion, wherein the outer part is movable relative to the inner part from a first position in which the outer part is immediately adjacent the second portion to a second position in which there is an unobstructed gap therebetween, and wherein the inner and outer parts are adapted to become irreversibly locked in the second position so that the outer part cannot be moved back to the first position to close the gap, wherein means are provided to prevent the inner part from moving relative to the second portion until the outer part has reached the second position.

  • Patent number: 7188704
    Abstract: An energy absorber comprises a housing (1), a store (15) of plastically deformable material (8) mounted in the housing and having an endstop (27), an attachment (3) for attaching the energy absorber to a structure, another attachment (10) for attaching the plastically deformable material (8) to a structure, and the housing mounting a pair of spaced pins (5, 6) around which the deformable material (8) from a coil is plastically deformed in different directions in a sequential manner to absorb energy. A pair of pins (7, 33) or a guide element (51) and a pin (33) are contacted by the endstop (27) to limit the plastic deformation.

  • Publication number: 20030111310
    Abstract: An energy absorber comprises housing means (1), a store (15) of plastically deformable material (8) mounted in the housing means and having an endstop (27), means (3) for attaching the energy absorber to a structure, means (10) for attaching the plastically deformable material (8) to a structure, and means (7, 5, 6) responsive to a predetermined tensile load effective to deploy said plastically deformable material (8) in a controlled manner from its store whereby said material (8) is permanently plastically deformed during said deployment, thereby absorbing energy. The energy absorber is able to support a load at least twice the predetermined tensile load when further deployment of the material (8) is prevented by the endstop (27).

  • Patent number: 6505384
    Abstract: An apparatus for gripping a flexible elongated member includes a housing having a base, a lever pivotally connected to the housing, and a gripping component having a gripping member. The lever is pivotally connected to the housing, and the gripping component is mounted so as to be movable relative to the housing. The gripping component, housing, and lever are arranged such that manipulation of the elongated member so as to contact the lever will cause the lever and gripping component to move relative to each other, thereby gripping or releasing the elongated member.
