Abstract
A device that is movable along a track defined by a cable has a main frame including a pair of side walls and a transverse connector by which the side walls are joined together. A pair of pulleys is disposed between the side walls, with the pulleys being engagable with a cable and rotatable for movement of the device along the cable. A fitting by which handles are removably attachable to the main frame is secured between the side walls, and aligned receptacles in the side walls provide for reception of hardware to preclude disengagement of the cable from the pulleys during use.
Claims16
A device that is movable along a track defined by a cable comprising:
- a main frame including a pair of side walls joined together by a transverse wall,
- a pair of pulleys disposed between the side walls, the pulleys being engagable with the cable and unidirectionally rotatable for movement of the device along the cable so that the main frame, in use, freely travels in one direction along the cable, but with significant resistance in another direction along the cable opposite to said one direction,
- a fitting by which handles are removably attachable to the main frame, and
- aligned receptacles in the side walls for reception of hardware to preclude disengagement of the cable from the pulleys during use.
