Abstract: 1,154,319. Climbing apparatus. KEELES OF HADLEIGH Ltd. 1 Sept., 1966 [21 Sept., 1965], No. 40247/65. Heading A6M. A gymnastic climbing apparatus comprises two vertical posts, 1, of non-circular crosssection, each having associated therewith a handle member, 3, comprising a portion 4 for girdling the post in such a manner that the member cannot be moved around the post, but can be rocked in a plane parallel to the axis of the post about an axis transverse to it, and locking means, e.g. a projection 8, engaging with holes, 2, in the post for positively engaging the post at spaced positions along it, such locking means being engageable with and disengageable from the post by the rocking movement of he handle member. The arrangement is such that the gymnast can climb the poles by resting his weight alternatively on each of the handle members whilst disengaging the locking means of the other handle member, moving said other member to a higher position on its post, and again engaging its locking means. The post may be of square cross-section, and the girdling portion be of rectangular shape. The girdling portion may be angled to the hand grip, 7, so that the hand grip is horizontal when the handle member is engaged in the post.

The electrode 1 is supported by a holder including a pressure ring 2 with a clamping cylinder 3 for each arcuate section, each cylinder 3 including a piston 5 with a rod 4 ending above the piston in a wedgeshaped portion 6. Wedges 7 fit between the surfaces of the portion 6 and the wedge-shaped surface 13 inside the cylinder 3. An auxiliary cylinder 8 in rod 4 has a piston 9 and rod 10 connected by a yoke 11 to the wedges 7. When fluid pressure medium is supplied to pistons 5 and 9, the wedges 7 automatically and continuously move inwards to fill the enlarged apertures between the wedge surfaces, and thereby maintain the loading if the supply of pressure medium is relieved. Fluid pressure is supplied to the other piston surfaces to move the wedges 7 and pistons 5, 9, back to their initial positions. Springs 12 act between the head 4A of rod 4 and a lug 2A of a pressure ring section 2 to give resilient mechanical clamping pressure. Pistons 5 and 9 move simultaneously, or independently with a time delay. Cylinders 3 are tangential to the electrode 1, as shown, but may act radially or at any angle.
