Abstract:
1. A fall arrest safety net assembly for securing an overhead filling connected to an electrical cable, said assembly comprising: a bag constructed of wire mesh, the bag having an open mouth and a closed end, the bag including a plurality of eyes integral with the wire mesh and spaced circumferentially about the mouth: a slit in the wire mesh extending from the open mouth toward the closed end and adapted for receiving the electrical cable, the slit disconnecting a plurality of adjacent wire loops of the mesh; an elongate line having opposing first and second ends, first and second line portions of the line being disposed adjacent the first and second ends respectively, an intermediate portion of the line located between the first and second line portions; and, the first portion extending through the eyes for drawing the mouth closed, and a choker fitting having an upper surface, a lower surface, a first pair of edge surfaces and a second pair of edge surfaces extending between said first pair of edge surfaces to define a surface region of said choker surfaces enclosed therebetween; said choker fitting having a first plurality of apertures extending between said upper surface and said lower surface within said surface region and said first plurality of apertures in a spaced apart array having a first of said plurality of apertures spaced a first preselected distance from a first of said first pair of edge surfaces and a second preselected distance from a first of said second pair of edge surfaces, a second of said plurality of apertures spaced said first preselected distance from said first of said first pair of edge surfaces and a third preselected distance from said first of said second pair of edge surfaces, a third of said plurality of apertures spaced said third preselected distance from said first of said second pair of edge surfaces and a fourth preselected distance from said first of said first pair of edge surfaces; said choker fitting having an end fixture spaced from said plurality of apertures and said end fixture comprising an end fixture aperture extending between said upper surface and said lower surface within said surface region, said first end of said elongate line fixed to said end fixture at said end fixture aperture.
