Title:
PORTABLE FALL PROTECTION DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/068365
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The portable fall protection device (10) essentially comprises a force reduction device. This force reduction device gradually absorbs a tensile force created within a safety line as a user falls from a height. One aim of the portable fall protection device (10) is to gradually arrest the descent of the user falling in a gradual controlled manner to prevent injury to the user. Furthermore, the portable fall protection device (10) is compact such that the portable fall protection device (10) can be constantly worn and carried on the back of the user without impinging on the tasks of the user. As a result of the structure of the portable fall protection device (10), each portable fall protection device (10) can be individually tested prior to use and can be re-used (and/or reset), if necessary after a fall. In addition, the capacity of the portable fall protection device (10) is adjustable and can be set by a manufacturer and/or operator in order to produce a bespoke device.
