CA 2670550

A device to enable a person to descend from an elevated position at a controlled and variable speed comprising a restraining member (12) having a series of slots (13). A tape (11) stored in a container (20) passes through the slots (13) to a hook (10) for attachment of the device to a fixed point. A user wearing a harness (21) removably attached to the restraining member (12) may descend at a controlled rate determined by the frictional engagement of the tape (11) with the surfaces of the restraining member (12). An apertured retarding device (50) is placed on the tape (11) within the container (20) to retard the passage of the tape through the restraining member (12) thus controlling the rate of descent.

L'invention concerne un dispositif prévu pour permettre à une personne de descendre d'un point élevé à une vitesse variable et régulée, lequel dispositif comprend un élément de retenue (12) doté d'une série de fentes (13). Un ruban (11) stocké dans un conteneur (20) passe à travers lesdites fentes (13) jusqu'à un crochet (10) servant à fixer ledit dispositif à un point fixe. Un utilisateur portant un harnais (21) fixé de manière amovible à l'élément de retenue (12) peut descendre à une vitesse régulée déterminée par le contact par friction du ruban (11) avec les surfaces de l'élément de retenue (12). Un dispositif ralentisseur ajouré (50) est placé sur le ruban (11) à l'intérieur du conteneur (20) de manière à ralentir le passage du ruban à travers l'élément de retenue (12), régulant ainsi la vitesse de descente.
