Abstract
A compact braking system for zip-line that brakes a sliding car including an anti-return trapping device that traps the sliding car preventing its return by a zip-line cable and a braking device that transfers and dissipates the energy of the arrival impact of the slide car without the use of one or more cables and/or elements external to it and without the activation of any operator.
Claims19
A compact braking system for zip-line that brakes a sliding car, the system comprising:
- an anti-return trapping device that traps the sliding car preventing a return through a zip-line cable;
- and
- a braking device that transfers and dissipates an energy of an arrival impact of the sliding car without the use of one or more cables and/or elements external to the braking device and without the activation of an operator and/or user, wherein the braking device comprises:
- a first braking block and a second braking block;
- an anchoring element comprising a trigger pivotally coupled to one end of the braking device, wherein said trigger allows entry and blocks an exit of the anti-return trapping device of the anchoring element;
- an element of impact that dampens an input force of the anti-return trapping device;
- and
- at least two lever elements connecting and allowing a first braking block and the second braking block to slide.
