Abstract:
A device, system and method are used for hoisting and lowering a load. The device has a front plate that may be displaced to reveal a sheave. The device also has a friction accessory. The friction accessory is arranged to create friction between a rope and the device when a load is suspended from the device using the rope and where the device is secured to a support structure. The system may be prepared by an operator, having ascended to an elevated location, and further allows the operator to lower the load from the elevated location prior to descending.

Claim (Index 18):
A method for raising and/or lowering a load, comprising:\n securing to a support structure a device for controlling the hoisting and/or lowering of the load, the device comprising\n a main body comprising a rear wall configured to transfer a load applied to a first end of the device to a second end of the device, a sheave offset forwardly from the rear wall and secured for rotation relative to the rear wall about an axis that is normal to an adjacent portion of the rear wall, the sheave having an outer circumferential surface comprising a groove; \n a fastener located at the first end of the device; and \n a hook-shaped friction accessory that is offset to the rear from the groove of the outer circumferential surface such that a cord positioned within the groove of the sheave will be offset in a forward direction from the hook-shaped friction accessory at a location where the cord separates from the groove; \n inserting the cord into the device; attaching a first end of the cord to the load; and using the cord to hoist or lower the load.
