Abstract:
The present system for fall restraint includes a mounting frame connected to a trigger mechanism and firing blocks, with a trigger cable extending through apertures in the mounting frame and trigger mechanism. Sudden movement by a user, such as a fall, actuates the trigger mechanism to trigger the firing blocks. The firing blocks are loaded with anchors and firing cartridges. Triggering the firing blocks causes the cartridges to fire, propelling the anchors into an anchoring surface, such as a roof. Because the user is connected to the trigger cable, once the anchors deploy the user is anchored to the roof and their fall arrested.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for fall restraint, comprising:\n a mounting frame connected to a trigger mechanism and a plurality of firing blocks, and a trigger cable extending through a frame aperture in the mounting frame and a trigger aperture in the trigger mechanism, wherein each of the plurality of firing blocks comprises an upper block and a lower block,\n wherein a plurality of firing pins and a plurality of firing springs extend through a plurality of upper block cylinders in the upper block, \n wherein the plurality of firing pins extend through a plurality of retaining nuts in upper ends of the plurality of upper block cylinders, \n wherein a plurality of firing cartridges and a plurality of anchors extend through a plurality of lower block cylinders in the lower block, \n wherein the trigger mechanism comprises a plurality of trigger rods connected to a pivoting trigger by a plurality of connecting rods,\n wherein each of the plurality of trigger rods slidably extends between the plurality of upper block cylinders and the plurality of lower block cylinders of one of the plurality of firing blocks, \n wherein each of the plurality of trigger rods has a plurality of trigger rod openings corresponding to the plurality of upper block cylinders such that when the plurality of trigger rod openings are aligned with the plurality of upper block cylinders, the plurality of firing pins can contact the plurality of firing cartridges in the plurality of lower block cylinders, \n wherein the pivoting trigger is rotatably connected to the mounting frame by a plurality of pivot arms, \n wherein the trigger cable comprises a cable stop at a distal end, the cable stop having a diameter larger than a diameter of the trigger aperture.
