Equipment-securing means for portable items of equipment

(11) can be rolled up onto the reel (7) until the starting state and can be retracted into the housing,

• characterised by:
• an arresting mechanism comprising:
• a control-runway element (9) that is connected to the reel (7) via a freewheel (10) and has two concentrically extending guideways spaced radially apart, of annular or annular-sector form, and a control guideway (27) extending concentrically between them, likewise of annular or annular-sector form, the control guideway (27) having an arresting-element arresting position (21) and ramps (22) being arranged between the individual guideways, and
• an arresting element (8) that engages in the control-runway element (9) and is guided in the guideways and the control guideway (27) and/or along the ramps (22) of the control-runway element (9), and
• wherein the guideways, the control guideway (27) and the ramps (22) are designed and arranged relative to one another so that by pulling on the pulling element (4) with a force which is greater than the force exerted by the restoring element (11) on the reel (7), the pulling element (4) can be pulled out of the housing and the arresting element (8) can be guided freely in one of the guideways, so that the control-runway element (9) rotates with the reel (7), so that when a pulling force directed away from the housing acts on the pulling element (4), which force is smaller than the force exerted by the restoring element (11) on the reel (7), the pulling element (4) can be pulled back into the housing by the restoring element (11) and the arresting element (8) can be guided freely in one of the guideways via one of the ramps (22) into the control guideway (27), the pulling element (4) can be pulled back into the housing by the restoring element (11) and the arresting element (8) can be pressed out of one of the guideways via one of the ramps (22) into the control guideway

The equipment-securing means (100), for portable items of equipment, in particular portable tools, comprising:

• a housing in which a reel (7) and a restoring element (11) are arranged, wherein the reel (7) is arranged in the housing and is mounted so that it can rotate relative to the housing,
• a pulling element (4) for fastening items of equipment, wherein the pulling element (4) is completely rolled up on the reel (7) in a starting state and one end of the pulling element (4) projects from the housing,
• wherein the restoring element (11) is arranged between the housing and the reel (7) in such a way that the restoring element (11) exerts a tensile force on the reel (7) in the direction of an interior of the housing, so that the pulling element (4) can be rolled up onto the reel (7),
• wherein the pulling element (4), when a tensile force directed away from the housing which is greater than the force exerted on the reel (7) by the restoring element (11) acts on the pulling element (4), can be unrolled to an end position in which the pulling element (4) is completely unrolled from the reel (7), and can be pulled out of the housing relative to the latter, and
• wherein the pulling element (4) has at least one predetermined breaking connection for fall damping in an area of its end fixed to the reel (7), wherein the predetermined breaking connection is designed so that when a pulling force directed away from the housing and exceeding a predefined force threshold value acts on the pulling element (4) after the pulling element (4) has reached the end position, the connection breaks to absorb the pulling force and thus damp the fall, and
• further comprising:
• an arresting mechanism comprising:
• a control-runway element (9) that is connected to the reel (7) via a freewheel (10) and has two concentrically extending guideways spaced radially apart, in particular of annular or annular-sector form, and a control guideway (27) extending concentrically between them, likewise of annular or annular-sector form, the control guideway (27) having an arresting-element arresting position (21) and ramps (22) being arranged between the individual guideways, and
• an arresting element (8) that engages in the control-runway element (9) and is guided in the guideways and the control guideway (27) and/or along the ramps (22) of the control-runway element (9), and
• wherein the guideways, the control guideway (27) and the ramps (22) are designed and arranged relative to one another so that by pulling on the pulling element (4) with a force which is greater than the force exerted by the restoring element (11) on the reel (7), the pulling element (4) can be pulled out of the housing and the arresting element (8) can be guided freely in one of the guideways, so that the control-runway element (9) rotates with the reel (7), so that when a pulling force directed away from the housing acts on the pulling element (4), which force is smaller than the force exerted by the restoring element (11) on the reel (7), the pulling element
