    [0001]
    [0002] Climbing device.
    [0003]
    [0004] Technique sector.
    [0005]
    [0006] The present invention refers as its title indicates a climbing device that includes a grip handle and a head provided with suitable characteristics to perform a series of functions related to both the assembly and disassembly of different fastening elements to the anchors. fixed to the wall to climb.
    [0007]
    [0008] Specifically, this device allows the assembly and disassembly of carabiners or express straps on the wall anchors, such as the hooking of the climbing ropes on the carabiners or express straps previously placed on the wall anchors and their subsequent release.
    [0009]
    [0010] State of the prior art
    [0011]
    [0012] In the practice of climbing, it is common for the climber, as he ascends the wall, to place on the existing anchors on the wall some express straps consisting of two carabiners joined together by an intermediate strap, using the upper carabiner for the fixing the express strap to the wall anchor and the bottom carabiner for the passage of the climbing rope.
    [0013]
    [0014] The wall anchors are separated by a distance that can reach 3 or 4 meters, which prevents the climber from manually reaching the next anchor to hook the express strap with the upper carabiner and pass the rope through the lower carabiner of said express tape.
    [0015]
    [0016] There are currently some devices on the market that generally have a handle and a head that allows the fastening of the express strap, with the trigger of the upper carabiner in the open position, so that the climber can reach the following device wall anchor and release the carabiner trigger once the express strap has been attached to the anchor of the wall.
    [0017]
    [0018] As a state of the art, the following documents should be mentioned:
    [0019]
    [0020] US patent 2005/0275230 A1 disclosing a carabiner, comprising: a carabiner retention portion configured to releasably retain a carabiner, the retention portion comprising a first member positioned to engage a first side of the carabiner adjacent a carabiner door and a second member positioned to engage a second side of the carabiner opposite the first side, where the first member and the second member are positioned opposite and separated by a first distance at rest, and where at least one of the members first and second is elastically movable to allow the first and second members to be separated by a second distance greater than the first distance when used with a carabiner; and a portion of attachment to an extension member to increase the reach of the support.
    [0021]
    [0022] Patent US 7571944 B2 disclosing a safety and rescue carabiner to secure a carabiner with its door in the open position and extend the user's reach a certain distance in any direction, which is also capable of supporting a long and heavy segment of the rope of security. The carabiner is mounted to the end of an extension handle and includes a clamping structure that holds the bottom of the carabiner and a set of spring-loaded jaw arms that securely hold the spine and trigger of the carabiner door. a way strong enough to withstand any inadvertent jolting and bouncing, ensuring that the carabiner will stay in place until it latches onto an anchor and the user releases the carabiner by pulling back on the extension handle.
    [0023]
    [0024] The aforementioned background presents some characteristics aimed at mounting the carabiner on an anchor but they do not solve other problems that usually arise during climbing and that may be unavoidable, for example: disassembling the anchorage from the wall of a carabiner or express strap that it was previously attached to a distant anchorage; the need to pass a rope through a carabiner with an express strap that was already attached to a wall anchor; or the removal of a rope that went through several carabiners attached to wall anchors.
    [0025]
    [0026] Therefore, and taking into account that it is convenient to limit as far as possible the elements to be transported by the climber, the technical problem that arises is the development of a device that has an extendable handle for holding it and a single head, which allows solving the different situations that may arise, related to hooking or unhooking carabiners or express straps on wall anchors, so that the climber positions the carabiner on the device quickly and safely, or by hooking or unhooking ropes from carabiners or express straps mounted on wall anchors.
    [0027]
    [0028] It is worth mentioning that the applicant of the present invention is unaware of the existence of antecedents that present technical, structural and constitutive characteristics coinciding or equivalent to those presented by the climbing device of the present invention.
    [0029]
    [0030] Explanation of the invention
    [0031]
    [0032] The climbing device object of this invention, comprising a multifunction head and a handle for holding said head, has some constructive features aimed at solving the problems set out above and allowing, by using different parts of the head, various operations with carabiners or straps express and with the tether, as will be explained later.
    [0033]
    [0034] According to the invention, the device head comprises:
    [0035]
    [0036] - a housing dimensioned for receiving at least a lower portion of a carabiner;
    [0037]
    [0038] - two upper arms that start from the rear surface in the front direction and that have respective appendages, fixed or retractable on opposite surfaces, for the eventual retention, in the open position, of a trigger of a carabiner inserted vertically between said upper lugs;
    [0039] - two lower arms, which start from the rear surface in the front direction and have intermediate appendages for the eventual support of the lower end of a carabiner vertically inserted into the head housing.
    [0040]
    [0041] Additionally, the device can present on the rear surface a hole oriented in the front direction and suitable for the eventual passage of a loop of the climbing rope in a front direction and its fastening in a suitable position to insert it in a carabiner attached to an anchor wall or to open the trigger of a carabiner.
    [0042]
    [0043] Additionally, in the lower arms the device can have first concave recesses and second concave recesses, suitable for the eventual fastening of a rope loop in a position suitable for insertion into a carabiner.
    [0044]
    [0045] Additionally, in the lower arms the device may have anterior appendages that form stops for the opening of the trigger of a carabiner and its release from a wall anchor.
    [0046]
    [0047] In one embodiment, hooks are provided that extend inferiorly, obliquely from the lower arms towards the handle, suitable for grasping a climbing rope and releasing it from a carabiner.
    [0048]
    [0049] The handle of the device is telescopic, to facilitate its transport in a material carrying harness, without it being uncomfortable for the user.
    [0050]
    [0051] In accordance with the invention, the device comprises a telescopic extender suitable for coupling to the handle in order to increase its overall length, making it easier for the climber to access more remote areas with the multifunction head.
    [0052]
    [0053] This telescopic extension device has a length similar to that of the handle in the folded position, which allows it to be transported separately from the device and in the folded position without being a hindrance for the user.
    [0054] Said extension has an interior hollow of suitable dimensions for the accommodation of the telescopic handle, in a contracted position; this allows the handle and extension to be in the contracted position practically the same length as the handle alone.
    [0055]
    [0056] It is worth mentioning that the appendages defined on the facing surfaces of the upper arms are preferably made up of retractable balls that tend to be kept in a prominent position by the action of springs, automatically opening and retaining the trigger of a carabiner on the open position when said carabiner is inserted into the head housing.
    [0057]
    [0058] This characteristic supposes an important advantage with respect to those heads that need manipulation by the user of a retainer to fix the carabiner trigger in the open position, which is important considering that in most cases the Climber cannot simultaneously use both hands to place the carabiner inside the head and manipulate an additional piece that locks the trigger in the open position.
    [0059]
    [0060] Additionally, the use of retractable balls or stops to hold the carabiner trigger, guarantees correct operation of the device with carabiners of different thicknesses.
    [0061]
    [0062] With the device of the invention, when the user inserts the carabiner into the head housing, the appendages of the upper arms automatically position and hold the carabiner trigger in the open position, facilitating its hooking on any wall anchor.
    [0063]
    [0064] Once this hook is made, the user only has to pull the handle of the device so that the head releases itself from the carabiner hooked to the wall anchor.
    [0065]
    [0066] The first and second concave recesses defined in the lower arms of the head, are open on the side facing the front of the head, allowing the holding of a rope loop to open the trigger of a carabiner attached to a wall and the introduction of the rope in said carabiner.
    [0067]
    [0068] Said recesses have different dimensions so that the first concave recesses form a tight passage to hold one of the branches of the rope loop while the second concave recesses define a passage with greater amplitude for the sliding guide, that is, with the possibility longitudinal displacement of a second branch of the rope loop.
    [0069]
    [0070] This feature allows the head to be brought closer to a carabiner until said carabiner is inserted into the loop of the rope and, when pulling the sliding branch with which said loop closes, causing the carabiner trigger to open, the introduction of the rope into the carabiner.
    [0071]
    [0072] The hole defined in the rear surface of the head allows a loop to be formed to open the trigger of a carabiner attached to a wall anchor and rotate the device to release the carabiner from said anchor.
    [0073]
    [0074] The facing appendages of the lower legs allow by means of combined turns of the utensil to open the trigger of a carabiner attached to a wall anchor and to release said carabiner from the anchor.
    [0075]
    [0076] Regarding the hooks that extend inferiorly and in an oblique direction from the lower arms of the head, it is worth mentioning that they are especially effective when hooking a rope that goes through the interior of one or more carabiners and pulling it so that the rope moves in one sense until its free end is released from said carabiners.
    [0077]
    [0078] In a variant embodiment of the invention, it has been provided that the tabs defined in the upper arms of the head, instead of being made of retractable balls, may be made of fixed tabs of a suitable configuration to cause the opening and retention of the trigger of a carabiner in said open position, simply inserting the carabiner into the head housing through the upper area thereof.
    [0079]
    [0080] These and other features of the invention will be more readily understood at view of the exemplary embodiment shown in the attached figures.
    [0081]

    [0105]
    [0106] Detailed exposition of embodiments of the invention.
    [0107]
    [0108] As can be seen in Figures 1 and 2, the climbing device comprises a multifunction head (1) and a handle (2) for holding the head (1).
    [0109]
    [0110] The head (1) comprises a housing (3) delimited by a rear surface (4), two upper arms (5a, 5b) and two lower arms (6a, 6b).
    [0111]
    [0112] The upper arms (5a, 5b) have separate appendages (51) on the facing surfaces, constituted in this case by retractable balls that tend to be kept in the protruding position by the action of springs not shown.
    [0113]
    [0114] As can be seen in greater detail in Figures 3, the lower arms (6a, 6b) have first concave recesses (61) and second concave recesses (62) whose function is to allow the holding of a rope loop for mounting on a carabiner suspended from an anchor, as will be explained later.
    [0115]
    [0116] These lower arms also have intermediate appendages (63) for the eventual support of the lower end of a carabiner inserted vertically in the housing (3) of the head, and anterior appendices (64) that allow releasing a carabiner from an anchor of a wall.
    [0117] The head has internal hooks (7) that extend internally in an oblique direction from the inner arms (6a, 6b) towards the handle (2) and whose purpose is to grip and pull a rope to free it from a carabiner or express tape.
    [0118]
    [0119] As shown in the sequence of figures 4a, 4b and 4c for hanging a carabiner, for example the upper carabiner (8a) of an express strap (8) formed by an upper carabiner (8a) connected by a strap (8c) to a Inner carabiner (8b), it is enough to introduce said carabiner (8a) in the cavity (3) of the head of the device so that the retractable appendices (51) open the trigger (81) of the carabiner (8a) and hold it in said open position, as shown in figure 4a, it is enough to subsequently insert the carabiner (8a) in the anchor (9) of a wall as shown in figure 4b and then remove the device (1, 2) so that the trigger (81) is closed and the carabiner (8a) is fixed to the anchor (9) as shown in figure 4c.
    [0120]
    [0121] When the climber already has an express strap (8) mounted on an anchor (9), to pass a rope (10) through the lower carabiner (8b) of said express strap (8), it is enough to carry out the operations schematically represented in Figures 5a and 5b.
    [0122]
    [0123] Initially, two branches of a rope (10) are placed, forming a loop and one of them passing tightly through the first concave recesses (61) of the head, visible in figure 3, and the other branch passing in a sliding way through the defined passage between the two second concave recesses (62) of the lower arms (6a, 6b) of the head (1), also visible in figure 3; then approaching the head to the carabiner (8b) of the express belt so that said carabiner (8b) is inside the loop as shown in Figure 5a.
    [0124]
    [0125] Then it is enough to pull the sliding branch of the rope (10) that can be easily moved through the passage defined between the second concave recesses (62) for the rope loop to press and open the trigger (81) and insert in the mentioned carabiner (8b). The two rope strands (10) are released from the head, exiting frontally through the space between the two lower arms.
    [0126] The rear surface (4) is provided with a hole (41) for the passage of a climbing rope loop in a frontal direction, with the purpose to be explained in view of later figures.
    [0127]
    [0128] As shown in Figures 6a and 6b, the release and removal of an express tape (8) from an anchor (9) can be carried out by inserting through the hole (41) the rear surface (4) of the head of a rope loop (10) to clamp the carabiner (8a), as shown in figure 6a, and then close the rope loop to open the trigger (81) and hold the carabiner (8a) against the head (1) by simply turning the device to release the carabiner (8a) from the anchor (9), as shown in Figure 7b.
    [0129]
    [0130] Figures 7a -7c schematically show the operations to be performed to remove an express tape (8) from an anchor (9) using the lower arms of the head (1).
    [0131]
    [0132] These operations consist of hugging the trigger (81) of the upper carabiner (8a) with the facing appendages (64) of the lower arms of the head (1), as seen in Figure 7a; rotating the device to achieve the opening of said trigger as shown in figure 7b; Then proceeding to push the device in the direction and direction of extraction of the carabiner (8a) from the anchor (9), as seen in Figure 7c.
    [0133]
    [0134] As shown in Figures 8a and 8b, to release a rope (10) from carabiners located above the climber's location, simply grasp the rope with the hooks (7) of the device, as shown in Figure 8a , and pulling the device (1, 2) towards the lower area until the free branch of the rope (10) is released from the upper carabiners.
    [0135]
    [0136] As shown in figure 9, it has been provided that the appendages (51) of the upper arms (5a and 5b) can be fixed, instead of retractable, in this case performing the same function and the same operating operations as said retractable balls.
    [0137] Figure 10 shows the device with the telescopic handle (2) in the retracted position, and a telescopic extension (21), also in the retracted position and suitable for coupling with said handle (2) and increasing the overall length thereof.
    [0138]
    [0139] This telescopic extender (21) has in a folded position a length similar to that of the telescopic handle (2) of the device, which allows it to be transported in the folded position and separated from the function device, without being a hindrance for the user.
    [0140]
    [0141] Said telescopic extension (21) has an interior hollow of suitable dimensions to accommodate the telescopic handle (2), in the contracted position.
    [0142]
    [0143] Once the nature of the invention has been sufficiently described, as well as a preferred embodiment, it is stated for the appropriate purposes that the materials, shape, size and arrangement of the described elements may be modified, provided that this does not entail an alteration of the essential features of the invention that are claimed below.
