Abstract (en)

The present invention is related to a self-belay set (1) comprising two connectors (4,5) attached respectively to both ends of a cable (6), which is connectable to a climber, each of the connectors comprising a hook-shaped housing (10) and a steel slider (40) movably arranged inside said housing, characterized in that the slider (40) and the housing (10) are provided with blocking means (12) for preventing the slider from being moved out of the open or closed position except by hooking the open connector onto an actuator (50), said actuator comprising a permanent magnet (52), configured to exert a magnetic gripping force on the slider, said gripping force being sufficient to move the slider out of the open position and into the closed position.
