Abstract
In the case of a fall protection connector for connecting a strap to a load-fastening point for a person to be protected against falling, wherein the fall protection connector has a tubular band, at the ends of which respective connecting elements are arranged, wherein a length-variable element is arranged in the tubular band, the arrangement has been brought about in such a manner that the tubular band is formed from an elastic material.
Claims31
A fall protection connector for connecting a strap to a load-fastening point for a person to be protected against falling, wherein the fall protection connector comprises:
- a tubular band having ends in which respective connecting load suspension elements are attached, wherein a first fall damping element, in the form of a length-variable element, is arranged in the tubular band, wherein the tubular band includes an elastic material, said first fall damping element connected at each end to said load suspension element;
- and
- a second fall damping element not within, nor in direct contact with, said tubular band, and in an initial unextended position which, in the event of a fall becomes extendable, reducing the forces acting on a person when the fall is arrested, said second fall damping element attached on one end to at least one of the connecting load suspension elements of the fall protection connector, said second fall damping element having at an opposite end thereof, a connecting element.
A fall protection connector for connecting a strap to a load-fastening point for a person to be protected against falling, wherein the fall protection connector comprises:
- a tubular band having ends in which respective connecting load suspension elements are attached, wherein a first fall damping element, in the form of a length-variable element, is arranged in the tubular band, wherein the tubular band includes an elastic material and is configured such that, with the length-adjustable element unloaded, said tubular band is contracted, and with the length-adjustable element extended, said tubular band is also extended following said length-adjusting element, said first fall damping element connected at each end to said load suspension element;
- and
- a second fall damping element not within said tubular band, and in an initial unextended position which, in the event of a fall becomes extendable, reducing the forces acting on a person when the fall is arrested, said second fall damping element attached on one end to at least one of the connecting load suspension elements of the fall protection connector, said second fall damping element having at an opposite end thereof, a connecting element.
