Abstract
An assembly allowing a person to climb up and/or down an object, such as a high-voltage mast comprises an elongate, rail-type profiled element (1, 3, 5, 15, 17) that is provided with at least one guiding part (15, 17) extending along the profiled element, and a part for absorbing force transmission (3, 5, 15, 17). A climbing aid is also provided, comprising two climbing consoles (21) with one respective foot supporting area (23) and a guiding section that embraces or grips the guiding part (15, 17) and a holding section (33) which at least partly rests against or on the profiled element opposite hereto and is suitable for resting against the force transmitting part (3, 5, 15, 17) in order to absorb force transmission.
Claims24
An arrangement for allowing a person to climb up and/or down an object, the arrangement comprising:
- at least one elongated, rail-type profiled element (1, 3, 5, 15, 17) including at least one guiding part (17) extending along the profiled element and at least one part for absorbing force transmission (3, 5, 15) onto the profiled element and/or the guiding part, and
- a climbing aid including two climbing consoles (21), each having a foot supporting surface (23) and a guiding section (37, 41, 51, 52) embracing or gripping the guiding part (17), and each climbing console further including a holding section (33, 57, 61), which rests against or on a profiled element at least partially opposite the gripping guiding section and is suited to rest against the part (3, 5, 15) for absorbing force transmission.
A device for securing a person climbing up or down along a profiled element (1), comprising a cart- or carriage-like safety device (81), which is longitudinally displaceable on the profiled element along the profiled element (1), embracing the same at least partially from the outside, and which includes a locking device (97), which can be functionally connected to the person such that the safety device can be firmly locked in place on the profiled element during a fall by the person, by means of the locking device.
