Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0389391A1] Device for automatically securing a wall-scaling climber, characterised in that it comprises: . a shaft (4) guided in rotation, . at least one drum (7) having a groove (8) for receiving a tie (9) wound on the drum over at least one turn, . an irreversible control member interposed between each drum (7) and the shaft (4), preventing a relative rotation between the drum (7) and shaft (4) in the first direction and allowing the rotation of the drum (7) in a direction opposite to the first direction, . a system ensuring the continuous take-up of the slack of the tie (9), and . a means (21) for controlling the rotation of the shaft (4) in a direction opposite to that allowed by the irreversible control member, making it possible to lower the climber which has been unscrewed. <IMAGE>
