Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2103329A1] The ascender has a trigger (20) pivotingly mounted on a metallic body (18) around an axle (26) between opening and closing positions to press a rope against bottom of a guiding chute (24) and block the rope in inverse direction, respectively. An attachment device (32) attaches a belt (16) passing under a shoe insole. An attachment device (30) has frames (36, 38) for passage of a belt (14) surrounding an ankle of a user, and is inclined at a preset angle ranging between 40 and 75 degrees relative to the chute to maintain the bottom of the chute parallel to a path of the rope during climbing.
