Device and method for protection during ascent

摘要

A device and method are provided for protection during ascent, in particular, for climbing electricity poles, trees or other high structures. The device, including a non-fixed rope that is to be carried by the ascending person, includes a retaining means for fixing the device to a fixed anchoring point in a predetermined position. A structural configuration enables the introduction of the rope into the device, fixed in the predetermined position, from below. A first redirecting means is provided by which the rope can be guided through the device on a curved path. A mechanism automatically locks off the rope when the speed of movement of the rope through the device exceeds a predetermined limit value. A second redirecting means is provided by which the rope emerging from the device can be guided out of the device in the direction of ascent. A laterally arranged flat first bearing surface is provided.

1. A device for protecting an ascending person during ascent and including a non-fixed rope that is to be carried by the ascending person, comprising:
a retaining component that fixes the device to a fixed anchoring point in a predetermined position; a structural configuration which enables the introduction of the rope into the device, fixed in the predetermined position, from below; at least one first redirecting component by which the rope to be introduced into the device is guided through the device on a curved path; a mechanism that causes automatic locking off of the rope when the speed of movement of the rope through the device exceeds a predetermined limit value; at least one second redirecting component by which the rope emerging from the device is guided out of the device in the direction of ascent; and a laterally arranged flat first bearing surface, wherein, on an upper side of the device, a flat tread is configured.
