Safety climb attenuation apparatus for worker safety on structures
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11925822B2) discloses an apparatus designed to enhance the safety of workers on structures. The apparatus includes a cable with first and second ends, a base for mounting to the structure, a pivot arm with an attachment point for the safety cable, and an elastic bushing acting as an attenuator to resist movement between surfaces. The pivot arm is connected to the base and can pivot around a pivot point, allowing for movement while maintaining safety.
Furthermore, the apparatus features additional components such as a shackle for attaching the cable, an anchor for supporting the second end of the cable, and a second attenuator in the anchor to resist compression against a surface. The use of elastic bushings, including hollow rubber springs, in key areas of the apparatus ensures the effective resistance to movement and compression, enhancing worker safety on structures. Overall, the patented apparatus offers a comprehensive safety solution for workers at heights, incorporating innovative design elements to mitigate risks effectively.
