Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011124779A1] The invention relates to a descender tool which self-locks on a tensioned rope, and which can be used for all work and leisure activities involving ropes, braided ropes, and cables. Said descender consists of two friction surfaces (18) and (19), and two (or more) friction points (5, 6) and (7, 8) arranged on both sides of an axis (16) for a rope (17) to pass through. Said friction surfaces and points are stretched over openable flanges (1) and (2) which enable the positioning of the tensioned rope, and which have an attachment point (9, 10, 14) as well as an extensible operating handle (11).
