    [0002] Life line system
    [0003]
    [0004] Object of the invention
    [0005] The object of the present invention is a novel horizontal lifeline that allows the passage of the sliding elements through the anchoring supports of the cable and provides a new security system that prevents the sliding elements from accidentally leaving the pulley.
    [0006]
    [0007] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    [0008]
    [0009] Lifeline means those anchoring devices that can be found in places where there is a risk of falling and that are intended to allow a user, who must be equipped with an anti-fall harness and an individual protection equipment, to travel along the anchoring device, being always connected to it in anticipation of falls, which allows the performance of multiple activities in height in a safe manner, among which can be cited construction or maintenance work or ludic activities such as zip lines.
    [0010]
    [0011] The usual components of a lifeline are:
    [0012] • Initial anchoring support: this is where the lifeline begins.
    [0013] • Terminal anchor support: this is where the lifeline ends.
    [0014] • Line: is the cable, rope or similar element arranged between the initial anchor and the terminal.
    [0015] • Tensioner: it is the element that enables the adequate tension of the cable.
    [0016] • Absorber: is the device that absorbs the energy produced by a fall
    [0017] • Intermediate anchor support: anchor that fixes the line to a support in zones between the initial anchor and the terminal, which either serve as support and guide to the cable or anchor it maintaining the cable tension in the different sections.
    [0018] • Sliding device: device that allows connection to the lifeline, the user's harness is connected, usually by means of an anchor bag, which is usually a rope or tape, to the sliding device.
    [0019] The use of horizontal lifelines, whose intermediate anchoring supports do not allow the sliding device to pass through it, but must be disengaged and reconnected, is dangerous and annoying for the people who use them. Likewise, this type of security systems does not allow the execution of certain works or recreational activities, such as slipping on them.
    [0020]
    [0021] The present invention advocates a lifeline system that maintains the tension of the cable in the intermediate stretches of the lifeline, allows the passage of the sliding devices by the anchoring supports and prevents said sliding devices from accidentally leaving the cable , so it is suitable when the user wants to move a certain distance along the lifeline either walking or hanging on it.
    [0022]
    [0023] Description of the invention
    [0024]
    [0025] The lifeline system, which is the object of the present invention, is one of those horizontal lifelines comprising a cable or the like, preferably a metal cable of 12 mm in diameter, a plurality of cable anchoring supports, one plurality of means for joining said anchoring supports to an external vertical surface and at least one sliding device intended to move along said cable and to which the user will be secured by means of a carabiner or similar element to which the harness is fixed by means of a Anchor baga, which is usually a rope or ribbon.
    [0026]
    [0027] Each of the cable anchoring supports, which are fixed to an external vertical surface by means of their corresponding joining means, comprises:
    [0028] • a hollow cylinder, which is intended to receive inside said cable, and whose ends are tapered in the form of a funnel,
    [0029] • a body, which has a plane of longitudinal symmetry, and which has three or more cable pushers actuated at will and which have blocking means at will, said pushers are intended to press the cable against the inner surface of the hollow cylinder preventing it from sliding inside to maintain the proper tension for each of the uses that will be given to the lifeline,
    [0030] • a neck that joins the hollow cylinder with the body, such that the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the neck comprises the axis of revolution of the hollow cylinder. The thickness of said neck is smaller than the outer diameter of the hollow cylinder.
    [0031]
    [0032] The joining means comprise a first surface intended to be fixed to said external vertical surface and a second surface intended to be joined to the body of one of the anchoring supports, such that the first and second surfaces form an angle of 35 degrees;
    [0033]
    [0034] Each of the sliding devices comprises:
    [0035] • a housing that supports the rest of its elements,
    [0036] • two grooved rollers arranged in the upper area of the casing for rolling over the cable, the diameter of the groove is the same as the inside diameter of the hollow cylinder of the anchor bracket,
    [0037] • a guide channel of the cable located immediately below the wheels and intended for the cable and the hollow cylinder of the anchor support to pass through, whose dimensions are greater than the outer diameter of the hollow cylinder, said guide channel disposes in its lateral area of a longitudinal opening such that the width of its mouth is greater than the diameter of the cable, the theoretical plane comprising the longitudinal axis of the guide channel and the axis of the opening forms an angle of 35 degrees with the plane of symmetry of the wheels perpendicular to their axes of rotation, the surfaces of the said mouths converge towards the outside of the sliding device,
    [0038] • a hole provided in the lower area of the housing to insert a carabiner or similar element therein,
    [0039] • a cam disposed between said hole and the cable guide channel, which rotates when the cable is introduced reducing the size of said cable guide channel opening, which prevents the sliding device from leaving the cable when the carabiner or similar is introduced in said hole.
    [0040]
    [0041] Firstly, because the cable anchoring supports are inclined with respect to the vertical 350 and the opening of the sliding devices forms with the vertical the same angle when sliding on the cable, secondly, that the diameter The interior of the guide channel is larger than the outside diameter of the hollow cylinder, thirdly, because the opening of the guide channel passes through the neck of the anchor support, and fourthly, that the The diameter of the grooves of the sheaves is the same as the diameter of the section of the inside of the hollow cylinder, the sliding devices can travel the entire line of life continuously, without interruption and without the need to touch the sliding device by hand.

    [0057] Preferential execution
    [0058]
    [0059] Figures 1-6 show a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In figure 1 an anchor support (1) of the cable without the pushers (6) is shown, showing the body (3) and the hollow cylinder (2) joined by a neck (5), the housings (4) are also shown ) of the pushers that have grooves and a stop that limits the tightening of the pusher (1) on the cable to avoid damaging it and is the end of the groove. The lower portion of the body (3) has threaded holes to house the screws that actuate said pushers (6), the screws are locked in the position that provides the predetermined tightening of the cable by means of a counter nut that presses against the lower face of the body . The shape and dimensions of the clamping system allow a triple pressure of up to 50 Nm without producing deformations in any of the elements of the invention, it avoids the sliding of the cable for loads much higher than 20,000 N, which allows spans between anchoring supports up to 120 m, for example, free-flying zip-lines without intermediate anchoring supports up to 120 m.
    [0060] To reduce knocking, when the sliding element passes through the hollow cylinder (2), the ends of said hollow cylinder are tapered, funnel-shaped, and the cam has one or more magnets in its lower part that completely eliminate the rattle and further avoids small impacts, which greatly improves the ease, accuracy and infallibility of the passage of the sliding element through the anchoring support.
    [0061]
    [0062] The pushers (6), shown in Figure 2, have a shape such that once mounted on the body are flush on it, and have the corresponding complementary guides with the said grooves. The shape of the upper part of the pushers is concave to obtain a total contact and friction with the cable.
    [0063]
    [0064] The anchoring supports of the cable, once mounted on an external vertical surface, for example, the lateral faces of a post, must be separated from the external vertical surface so that this does not interfere and have to form an angle of 350 with the vertical so that the neck (5) of the cable anchor support can pass through the opening of the sliding element, since this opening has the appropriate dimensions and shape, also an angle of 350 with the vertical when it is in its working position, is say vertical.
    [0065]
    [0066] The exposed in the previous paragraph is achieved by a joining means that have a first surface (12) intended to be fixed to the other vertical surface, for example, by plug and screw or a bolted or welded, and a second surface (13) which is intended to be attached to the body (3) of the cable anchor support. Both surfaces form the aforementioned angle of 350, which is achieved by two preferred embodiments of these joining means, which are described below.
    [0067]
    [0068] The first preferred embodiment is a wedge (11), as shown in Figure 3, and the second preferred embodiment is a plate (14) which by two bends achieve the angle of 350 between the first surface (12) and the second surface (13)
    [0069]
    [0070] The sliding element, whose casing (10) is shown in figure 5, has two sheaves, to facilitate its rolling on the cable, in its upper portion, and a cable guide channel whose diameter is greater than the diameter of the cable. hollow cylinder of the anchor bracket. On one side of said cable guide channel there is an opening whose width is greater than the width of the neck of the anchor bracket and is positioned at an angle of 350 with the vertical.
    [0071]
    [0072] The casing has a hole in its lower portion for inserting a carabiner or a similar element therein. Between the hole and the guide channel there is a cam (7), whose upper end (9), concave shape, rotates forced by the introduction of the carabiner in the hole of the housing that displaces the lower end (8) of the cam , whereby the upper end when turning reduces the diameter of the guide channel, preventing the cable from accidentally leaving, which gives the system total security by completely preventing the sliding device from being able to exit the cable once the cable has been inserted. same, since as the size of the hole, when the cam is mounted on the housing, is smaller than that of the carabiner, whenever it is inserted it rotates the cam.
    [0073]
    [0074] To prevent damage to the vertical surfaces where the start and end of the cable are located, damping elements, preferably made of rubber, can be provided at the ends of the casing.
    [0075]
    [0076] The combination of the technical characteristics of each of the pieces of the lifeline system, which is the object of the present invention, makes its preferred use in adventure parks since it has a series of advantages over the lines of existing life in the market, among which we wish to highlight the following:
    [0077]
    [0078] • It is a very safe system, "anti-deception" and ideal for young children in which the participant can not get off the cable at any time, as it is a continuous lifeline due to the passage of the sliding devices by the elements of anchoring the cable to the poles is automatic, ie the participants do not have to touch or manipulate the sliding devices to perform that step, since the sliding device can not be accidentally uncoupled from the cable due to the existence of the cam.
    [0079] • The decoupling of the sliding device of the cable is very fast and does not require the use of any tool, because just moving the cam in a certain way the decoupling is performed, which is very useful for rescues of the participants and facilitates their operation; However, accidentally letting go is impossible and can be uncoupled autonomously on the part of the participant is also impossible, and can only unpin a monitor.
    [0080] Versatility of use with other systems already assembled previously and / or from other manufacturers: It allows the use of any existing braking system on the market, since the sliding device does not have to pass through the braking system and to remove it from the cable it only requires a determined movement of the cam, which makes the operation very fast.
    [0081] The impact of the sliding devices with the stops of any braking system is reduced by the damping elements they incorporate, a quality that is also non-existent in any other model on the market, which is made possible by the design of the pulley morphology, which allows both the coupling of the shock absorbers, as the possibility that the impacts do not damage its structure.
    [0082] The passage of the sliding devices by the cable anchoring elements to the posts in very smooth and easy due to the morphological design of the grooves of the sheaves, the existence of magnets in the cams and the morphological design of the neck of the anchoring element and of the longitudinal opening (funnel) of the guide channel of the sliding devices.
    [0083] The sliding devices can be used in other lifelines and / or zip lines that have other types of cable anchoring elements to the poles than those of the invention.
