Rung Wall Ascender

摘要

A rung wall ascender including a support frame and a rung ladder transport mechanism positioned at a variable angle relative to the support frame. The rung ladder transport mechanism includes a chain arranged as a loop with rung ladders attached to the chain so as to maintain a ladder-like configuration that rotates downward as the user climbs so as to achieve a continuous climbing experience. A hydraulic cylinder is positioned between the rung ladder transport mechanism and the support frame that adjusts an angle of the rung ladder transport mechanism with respect to the ground. A control for the hydraulic cylinder is positioned proximate to the user. A braking system regulates the speed of the rung ladder transport mechanism while the user is climbing.

1. A rung wall ascender comprising:
a) a support frame; b) a rung ladder transport mechanism positioned at a variable angle relative to the support frame, the rung ladder transport mechanism comprising a chain arranged as a loop with rung ladders attached to the chain so as to maintain a ladder-like configuration that rotates downward as the user climbs so as to achieve a continuous climbing experience; c) a hydraulic cylinder positioned between the rung ladder transport mechanism and the support frame that adjusts an angle of the rung ladder transport mechanism with respect to ground, a control for the hydraulic cylinder being positioned proximate to the user; and d) a braking system that regulates the speed of the rung ladder transport mechanism while the user is climbing.
