Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0752255A1] The grip has a vertical channel (9) through which the support cable passes slidably along a vertical axis (YY'). A cam (10) formed by a ramp surface of a pivotable lever (16) selectively engages the cable as it passes through the channel, moving between open and closed positions in response to manual actuation of the lever. The free end of the lever includes a hole (23) through which a carabineer or other clip may be passed and secured. When located in the hole, the projecting ends of the clip engage stop surfaces (20a,b) on the casing of the grip, preventing pivoting movement of the lever from a closed position of the cam to its open position.
