It is described a belay, of static or dynamic type, and descender, of self-blocking type and not, device for securing one or more ropes comprising a main body composed of at least two or more flat plates constrained one to another according to planes preferably parallel, or slightly tilted, by a plurality of spacer pins. The rope/s is/are inserted inside the body of the device which further comprises a first karabiner hooked to the main body by passing through an opening in the device body. The karabiner is movable in the opening between an unlocking position of the rope, that is the usual use condition, and an emergency position wherein the rope is blocked, and vice versa. The device further comprises a hole passing through the device body allowing the hooking of the first karabiner removed from the opening or of a second karabiner around which the rope/s is/are passed, and further means for constraining the device body to a fixed hooking point, which comprise at least one through hole inside which a further respective karabiner is hooked.
Belay device for securing at least one rope comprising a main body composed of at least two flat plates constrained one to another according to substantially parallel planes by a plurality of constraining means, said at least one rope being adapted for being inserted inside the body of the device into the gap present between at least two of said plates, comprising one opening for hooking a first karabiner to the main body of the device passing through said opening, said first karabiner being movable in said opening between an unlocking position of said at least one rope and a blocking position of said at least one rope, and vice versa, wherein said first karabiner constrains said device to an user when it is hooked in said opening, and in that it comprises at least one hole obtained on at least one of said plates adapted to allow the hooking of said first karabiner removed from said opening or of a second karabiner around which said at least one rope is passed through, and in that it comprises means for constraining the device to at least one fixed hooking point.
