Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2042401A1] The present invention relates to a pulley block for the movement and/or aerial transport of a body along a support cable, particularly intended to be used on "zip-lines", which reduces the risk of an accidental detachment of parts supporting the body to be transported, thanks to an auxiliary seat (7) which is distinct from the cable seat (3).
