  • Publication number: 20220241626
    Abstract: A temporary horizontal lifeline device includes a main frame, a central shaft pivotally arranged on the main frame, a drum and an external gear affixed on the central shaft, a spanner adapted for driving the central shaft to rotate, and a cable member winded around the drum. A gear groove is arranged on the periphery of the external gear. A first spring is arranged on the main frame so as to provide a force to enable the drum to retrieve the cable member. The main frame also comprises a brake element and a detent provided thereon. The brake element has a first state for restrict the gear groove and a second state for releasing the gear groove, which prevents the external gear from rotating forward and backward when the external gear is in the first state. The detent has a first position to mesh the gear groove and a second position to release the gear groove, so that the external gear is only allowed to unidirectionally rotate in the first position.
