Abstract:
An accident-prevention device for buildings, particularly for assembling prefabricated components made of concrete, comprising at least one pole and connecting means for detachably connecting a base of said pole to a surface of a building; said pole having, proximate to a tip thereof, guiding means for a cable element which forms a safety parapet, wherein said guiding means are adapted to divert, in a direction which is substantially parallel to the axis of said pole, at least part of the stresses transmitted from aid cable element to said pole, and wherein said pole is provided with shock-absorbing means for cushioning the stresses transmitted from said cable element to said pole in a direction which is substantially parallel to the axis of the pole, said guiding means comprising guides for said cable element associated with said main structure of the pole and form, for said cable element, proximate to the tip of the pole, a path portion having a component which is parallel to the axis of the pole; at least one of said guides being fitted on a supporting element which can move with respect to the main structure of the pole in a direction which is substantially parallel to the axis of the pole.
