Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0687774A1] The sections of a safety rail are joined by a middle section (30), shaped like the safety rails which slides between the two rails. It consists of a block (5) which is attached to one section (31) and a second block which is attached to the other section (32). A cable (10) which has tensile strength runs through the two blocks and is anchored in position by (11) at one end. At the other end the cable passes through a cone shaped jaw (15). The jaw is controlled by a spring which releases the cable to allow slight movement for thermal expansion but which anchors the cable as soon as an impact tries to force the two sections apart. When this happens a piston, which is attached to an extension (102) of the cable, is prevented from moving down the cylindrical casing (21) which surrounds it because the filling material cannot be compressed. <IMAGE>
