## Abstract

The present invention relates to equipment intended to moving people in height in non-horizontal surfaces, allowing their translation vertically and horizontally, comprising a chute with a docking and fixing system, engine for the horizontal displacement engine for the vertical displacement, suspension cable for the harness of the operator, wireless control and safeguarding system for rescue and recovery.

## Claims

### Claim 1

Equipment for moving people in height in non horizontal surfaces with vertical translation and horizontal translation and provided with a runner and an engagement and fixing system, an engine for the vertical displacement, physical mechanical stops on top of the runners, an engine for the horizontal displacement, a suspension cable of the harness of an operator, a drum for the winding/unwinding of the suspension cable of the operator of the harness, electric brake, support system to the winding/unwinding of the suspension cable of the operator of the harness and a sensor of the end of the course at the top, comprising:
an endless gear engine;
a system sensing the presence of the groove;
a system for the winding/unwinding of the power cord;
a cable tensioning device in the drum to prevent the accidental unwinding;
a centrifugal brake; and
an overload detection system.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The equipment for moving people in height in non horizontal surfaces with vertical and horizontal translation of claim 1, further comprising an emergency device that enables the controlled descent.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The equipment for moving people in height in non horizontal surfaces with vertical and horizontal translation of claim 1, wherein the suspension cable of the harness of the operator being selected from the group consisting of a steel cable, a chain, and a cable of natural or synthetic fibers.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The equipment for moving people in height in non horizontal surfaces with vertical and horizontal translation of claim 3, wherein the suspension cable of the harness of the operator being selected from the group consisting of a steel cable, a chain, and a cable of natural or synthetic fibers.
