DEVICE FOR OPERATIONAL SECURITY AND SALVATION AND RESCUE ON THE HEIGHTS

Abstract: This present patent of invention refers to a device specific for operational security and salvation and rescue on the heights, and hoisting, suspensions and transport of people or cargoes, capable of accomplishing any operational level, with the use of cables. It is portable, semi-automatic and has manual operating control. This device was developed from the results of research work, comparative analyses and development of projects, and defined and proposed after exhaustive process of tests and evaluation of its experimental prototypes by registered institutions. Belonging to the category of operational equipment with open structures, it is operationally approved by the institutions specialized in the use of operational security and salvation and rescue on the heights and projects itself as the only proposal for operational security that corresponds to the present demands, because of its identity with the professional and human resource fields. It has a main part anatomically geometric, with a side mechanical arm for coupling the cables and is formed by a sequence of mechanisms defined as coupling mechanism (6), rolling mechanism (27), internal sliding mechanisms (29), mechanism of insertion of the double cables (30), safety arms (31), alternative external sliding mechanisms (32), central hole for manual approach (33), parallel rods (35), external sliding mechanisms (36), hoisting mechanisms (37), guiding directing mechanisms (38), entrances channel of the cables (39) and physical spaces for moving the operating cables (40), besides the lowered planes for lightening of the equipment and inscriptions (34), considering thoroughly all of the operational requirements.

Description: Descriptive report of patent of the invention "DEVICE FOR OPERATIONAL SECURITY AND SALVATION AND RESCUE ON THE HEIGHTS". This present invention is a device of the type know as bat, used in operational security and salvation and rescue on the heights, with the use of cables. This equipment - specific for operational proceedings on heights with is light, portable, capable of fulfilling any operational functions in the mentioned proceedings as well as every level of salvation and rescue on the heights (suspension) and cargo transportation. It has rolling mechanical facilities suitable to its perfect transportation, internal mechanical- manual resources, locking mechanical-manual sliding and external mechanism controls. The non-existence of equipment of such importance and operational structure and purposes competing in this area and the existence of others which are mere auxiliary instruments of security, without operational structures and resources suitable to the present demands, and that, preceding this updated proposal, survive with their archaic and limited technical-operational arguments due to the lack of competition in this market, and eventually describing themselves technically-operationally sometimes as equipment with only sliding functions, sometimes as equipment with only locking functions, and all of them operationally controlled by garrisons, groups of people skilled in salvation and rescue on the heights in panic conditions are acknowledged by state of the technique. There are also those who pride themselves of excessive courage and show their deeds for having been able to operate them individually and by themselves, even under programmed conditions. However, technical responses disillusion them when we look in their own manuals and technical regulations of operational security, preparing ourselves for any possible makers of such acts, even though isolated, as operational technique applicable on operational or generalized ways, we did not find anything. This present equipment for operational security was developed from the operational variations, considering the physical, structural and natural braking resources of operating synthetic cables, the different cargoes in suspension, the demanding and immediate state of panic and the technical proceedings of individual operational control in the first stage of the research for its operational viability and afterwards to define and project this equipment research for its operational viability and afterwards to define and project this equipment which has as proposal, with alternative operational technologies, perfect identity with operational security. In order to give full understanding and complete visualization if this equipment, it is represented graphically by drawings that follow and integrate this descriptive report, illustrating its technological innovations for operational and alternative application securities. Figure 1 shows a front view of its format, structure and internal and external details of coupling, approach and operational proposals for locking and alternative security. Figure 2 shows all of the details of the rolling mechanism, the articulated mechanical arm and the other operating physical spaces and mechanism in a front view with a partial cut. Figure 3 is represented by the letters A and B. A shows a side view of the Bat Device, its format, structure, the coupling articulating bearing and the locking mechanism. B shows a side view of the device, its format, structure and the knurled head of the central axle. Now, relating in details to the drawings referred before, 1 is the main part, which structure is formed by a series of straight and curved lines in physical-geometric sequence. It consists of a mechanical arm (2) that attaches to its receiving support (4) using its bearings (3) by a transverse axle (5). It protrudes manually from the equipment, fixing the opening of its coupling mechanism (6) on the operating cables and closes automatically by the propulsion of its spiral spring (7), compressed in the central cavity (8) by the wedge spring (9) leaning on the groove (10), coupling by its articulated bearing (11) with the thread (12) to the also threaded tip (13) of the central axle (14). The letter is attached temporarily or permanently by the action of the locking spring (15) that is fixed to the bearings (16) by the transverse axle (17) and fits into the groove (18) of the bearing (11) and the groove (19) of the threaded tip (13) of the central axle (14). This projects from the bearing (20) of the main arm (21), presenting a diameter depression (22) corresponding with the diameter of the bearing (20) that works as limiting of its courses when started by rotary propulsion on its knurled hard (23). It is literally introduced into the central aperture (24) of the supporting axle (25) of the supporting rollers (26) for the rolling mechanism (27), which is attached there by the fastening backstop ring (28). This rolling mechanism (27) combined with the mechanical arm (2), the main arm (21) and the internal sliding operating curvilinear mechanism (29) forms the mechanism of insertion of the double operating cables (30). Four auxiliary safety arms (31) project form the sides of this equipment, being two superior and two inferior immediately opposite in sequence to their respective alternative curvilinear operating mechanisms (32). Here in this item (32), one of them will always present itself to the other as a locking resource to the cables in the descents, for matters of operating range and for the fact that this equipment is no identified by front and back and the operating synthetic cables do not occupy both superior alternative sliding operating curvilinear mechanism simultaneously. A hole (33) is placed in the central position of the equipment, and together with the mechanism of insertion of the double operating cables (30), they define the manual approach of the equipment. And we can observe three lowered planes (34) on its sides for the lightening of the equipment and inscriptions. Both parallel rods (35) define themselves as the appropriate physical space for the slipknots and sliding of the operating cables that envelop them and lodge at the internal (29) and external (36) sliding operating curvilinear mechanisms. The hoisting mechanism (37) for people or cargoes project from the extremities of these parallel rods (35). The guiding mechanisms (38) also make part of this equipment, structurally and operationally, leading the directions of the operating synthetic cables and, for the manual movements of the operators, the entrance channels of the cables (39), superior and inferior, of which there are four, as will as both physical spaces (40) for moving the operating synthetic cables
