Abstract: Integrated climb assist and fall arrest system and methods to assist users climbing ladders and vertical paths are disclosed. The integrated systems and comprise a controller connected to a user's harness, a static fall arrest cable, and a movable climb assist belt. The connection of the fall arrest components and the climb assist components may include physical connection, electronic connection, communication, or any combination thereof. The climb assist belt can be driven by a motor to provide an upwards climb assistance force to a user along a vertical path. The motor can be dynamically adjusted to continuously provide a level of climb assistance. The integrated controller is also configured to mechanically detect downwards movement and engage an overspeed braking mechanism when a threshold velocity or acceleration is detected.

Abstract: A lean-to rigging apparatus is described for installation in a shaft, such as an elevator shaft, having a wall and including at least one sill opposite the wall. The rigging apparatus includes a spanning beam, a sill support structure, a wall support member, and a hoist connector. The sill support structure on a first end of the spanning beam is designed to seat against a sill in the in the shaft while the wall support member on a second end of the spanning beam abuts against the opposite shaft wall. The sill support structure is rigidly connected to the spanning beam in a hingeless configuration and can seat against a sill in a plurality of seating positions. These seating positions allow the rigging apparatus to be positioned in a plurality of angles and therefore to be installed in shafts of different dimensions. The hoist connector is configured to allow a connection to a hoist device for hoisting various materials from one level to another within the shaft.

Abstract: A device configured to join two ropes includes a device body that extends from a first end to a second end along a central axis, the device body including an inner surface defining a through hole that extends through both the first end and the second end, the device body defining an inner dimension. The device defines an unassembled configuration in which the first and second ropes are positioned outside the through hole and the inner dimension is smaller than both the first outer diameter and the second outer diameter. The device defines an assembled configured in which a portion of each of the first and second ropes are positioned in the through hole, and the inner dimension is greater than both the first outer diameter and the second outer diameter.

Abstract: A device for joining a first rope to a second rope comprises a first end cap and a second end cap. The first end cap is configured to receive a first end of the first rope therein. The second end cap includes a first opening defining an anulus to receive a first end of the second rope therein. The anulus has a body diameter. The first opening has an outer diameter. The second end cap further comprises a second opening defining a cavity configured to receive a link. The cavity has an anulus diameter, wherein the anulus diameter is a greatest internal diameter of the cavity. The anulus diameter is greater than the body diameter and less than the outer diameter and the link is configured to link the first end cap to the second end cap.

Abstract: A climb assist system dynamically adjusts a rate and a level of load assist that the system provides to a climber during traverse of a structure. The system includes a load sensor system configured to detect the state of the climber, such as the load applied by the climber to an assist rope, to provide an upward support force on the climber to compensate the climber's weight. Additionally, the system includes a sender configured to transmit data to a receiver of the system. The system includes a controller configured to interpret the received data and thereafter provide control through a controlled motor and drive system to provide load assist to the climber. A safety function of the system is configured to receive data indicative of a rate of descent of the climber, and slow or stop the descent if one or more conditions are met.

Abstract: A climb assist and fall arrest system is disclosed that includes fall arrest components in connection with climb assist components. The connection of the fall arrest components and the climb assist components may include physical connection, electronic connection, communication, or any combination thereof. Communication between the fall arrest components and the climb assist components may include information being passed from one of the fall arrest components and the climb assist components to the other of the fall arrest components and the climb assist components. The climb assist and fall arrest device may be configured to transition from a disengaged configuration to an engaged configuration based on the information passed between the fall arrest components and the climb assist components.
