Abstract
In a vertical radio-frequency wave radiating structure to be climbed by a person, there is provided a fall prevention system. This fall prevention system includes a safety rope, made of a radio-frequency wave resistant material, to receive an individual safety harness. A first end of the safety rope is attached to an upper section of the vertical structure, while the second end of that safety rope is attached to a lower section of the vertical structure. Preferably, the safety rope comprises a polyurethane resin impregnated aramid fiber core protected with a thick extruded jacket of polyurethane.
Claims3
In combination a generally vertical radio-frequency wave radiating antenna mounted on a tower and a permanent fall prevention system installed on said vertical radio-frequency wave radiating antenna, said permanent fall prevention system comprising a safety rope extending between an upper portion of said vertical radio-frequency wave radiating antenna and a lower portion thereof, said safety rope having:
- first and second ends;
- an aramid fiber core;
- and
- a protective jacket made of a radio-frequency wave resistant plastic material and extruded over the aramid fiber core for imperviously covering said aramid fiber core;
- and
- mechanical means installing the safety rope generally vertically along said generally vertical antenna, the mechanical means comprising first means attaching said first end of the safety rope to said upper portion of said generally vertical radio-frequency wave radiating antenna, and second means attaching said second end of the safety rope to said lower portion of said generally vertical radio-frequency wave radiating antenna.
