Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2398822A] A safety brake for a fall arrest system, for use with a vertical track 46 such that downward pressure on lever 50 via a carabiner through hole 53 forces, by action of a cam on lever 50, brake shoe 56 against track 46. A gravity actuated switch 80 falls as shown so that tooth 81 engages notch 82 in member 59 so that upward force on lever 50 does not actuate the brake but downward force does, and because of switch 80, the safety brake may be installed either way up.
