Abstract (en)

[origin: US5850890A] PCT No. PCT/FR95/00543 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 21, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 21, 1996 PCT Filed Apr. 26, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/28990 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 2, 1995An abseil device including an integral main body (1) with two generally parallel main flanges (3, 4) joined together via a longitudinal connecting flange (6) and provided with two apertures (13, 14) engaged by a hook ring (2). The apertures (13, 14) include slanted edges (12) along which the hook ring (2) is slidable for wedging an intermediate portion (17) of a rope (5) and thereby locking the abseil device thereon. The device can be released by pivoting the main body (1). A self-locking abseil device suitable for mountaineering, caving, rock climbing or work in places high above the ground is thus provided.
