Abstract
A segment for a Scruton helix includes: a segment body, a coupling device on the segment body for coupling the segment to a further segment for the Scruton helix, a push-on device on the segment body for coupling the segment to a rope. Also disclosed are a system for a Scruton helix, a Scruton helix, a tower for a wind turbine, and a method for mounting a Scruton helix.
Claims17
A segment for a Scruton helix, the segment comprising:
- a segment body;
- a coupling device on said segment body for coupling the segment to a further segment for the Scruton helix;
- a push-on device on said segment body for coupling the segment to a rope;
- and,
- wherein said push-on device has a first projecting region defining a first recessed region and a second projecting region defining a second recessed region, wherein said first recessed region and said second recessed region are open toward different sides of the segment.

A system for a Scruton helix, the system comprising:
- a rope;
- a plurality of segments each having a segment body, a coupling device on said segment body for coupling the segment to a further segment for the Scruton helix, and a push-on device on said segment body for coupling the segment to said rope;
- wherein each of said push-on devices has a first projecting region defining a first recessed region and a second projecting region defining a second recessed region, wherein said first recessed region and said second recessed region are open toward different sides of the segment;
- and,
- each of said plurality of segments being configured to be coupled to said rope and coupled to each other.
2 more elements
A method for mounting a Scruton helix, the method comprising:
- providing a rope and a segment having a segment body, a coupling device on the segment body for coupling the segment to a further segment for the Scruton helix, and a push-on device on the segment body for coupling the segment to the rope;
- fitting the segment onto the rope;
- and,
- rotating the segment relative to the rope and thereby coupling the segment to the rope.
