Abstract
The invention relates to an abseiling device comprising a bidirectionally rotatable guiding arrangement (25) for guiding a pulling means (26); further comprising a braking mechanism (30) that is coupled to the guiding arrangement (25); a driving means (34; 35) can be connected to the guiding arrangement (25) so as to actuate the guiding arrangement (25). In order to create an abseiling device that prevents an individual from being injured or parts of the abseiling device from being damaged during rescue operations in particular of people, a mechanical torque limiter (33) decouples the driving means (34; 35) and the guiding arrangement (25) or the pulling means (26) when the torque exceeds a certain threshold value.
Claims21
An abseiling device, comprising a bidirectionally rotatable guiding arrangement for guiding a pulling means;
- and a braking device that is coupled to the guiding arrangement, wherein the braking device is embodied as a centrifugal brake, wherein a drive apparatus can be connected to the guiding arrangement for actuating the guiding arrangement, wherein a mechanical torque limiter decouples the drive apparatus and one of the guiding arrangement and the pulling means when a torque threshold value is exceeded.
An abseiling device for personal rescue, comprising a bidirectionally rotatable guide roller for guiding a rope, an input shaft having a drive end for coupling an external motorized drive apparatus, a braking device, and a mechanical torque limiter, wherein the input shaft is rotatably coupled to the guide roller, wherein the braking device is rotatably coupled to the guide roller, wherein the mechanical torque limiter decouples the drive end and the guide roller when a torque exceeding a torque threshold value is applied by the external drive apparatus such that a person can be lifted without risk of personal injury.
A device for abseiling and lifting a load, comprising a bidirectionally rotatable guiding arrangement for guiding a pulling means;
- and a braking device that is coupled with the guiding arrangement, wherein a drive apparatus can be connected to the guiding arrangement for actuating the guiding arrangement, and a mechanical torque limiter, wherein the mechanical torque limiter comprises a plug-in part and a sleeve that are inserted into one another and that mutually generate slippage, and wherein the mechanical torque limiter decouples the drive apparatus and one of the guiding arrangement and the pulling means when a torque threshold value is exceeded.
An abseiling device, comprising a bidirectionally rotatable guiding arrangement for guiding a pulling means;
- and a braking device that is coupled to the guiding arrangement, wherein a drive apparatus can be connected to the guiding arrangement for actuating the guiding arrangement, wherein the drive apparatus can be accommodated in a holding fixture, wherein the holding fixture can be fixed to a holding component of the abseiling device, wherein the holding fixture has a portion whose length can be adjusted, wherein the holding fixture has a ring enclosing a grip of the drive apparatus in order to fix the holding fixture relative to the grip, wherein the holding fixture can be fixed in a torque-proof manner to the holding component, and wherein the holding fixture is arranged parallel to an axle of the guiding arrangement.
