Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2014189512A1] Apparatus and associated methods may relate to fall-protection systems (100) having counterweight structures that incorporate a fall-protection mode and storage mode of operation. In an illustrative embodiment, a Fall-protection Counterweight Assembly (FPCWA) (125) provides a fall-protection mode in which the FPCWA is fully assembled and deployed for operation (FIG. 1). In an exemplary storage mode (FIG. 3), the FPCWA (125) may be disassembled by separating the top portion (130) from legs (135) which separate it from the bottom portion (140). The legs may be stored, for example, in a storage module (145) in the bottom portion. In some examples, the legs and/or ancillary elements may be securely stored in the storage mode by compression between the top portion and the bottom portion.
