Abrégé

The invention relates to a rescue apparatus (1), in particular a rescue stretcher for rescuing people from confined spaces, comprising: a flexible cover (2) which has an upper support portion (2a), for supporting the head of a person to be rescued, and a lower support portion (2b); a first textile sheet (5), which is arranged between the upper support portion (2a) and the lower support portion (2b) and is fastened to the flexible cover (2) and can be placed around the upper body of a person to be rescued. A rescue apparatus which allows a person to be safely rescued in any position and in any transport direction and which, in the process, can be flexibly adapted to the body size of the person to be rescued and the rescue methods used, is achieved by a support apparatus (11) for supporting the legs of the person to be rescued being displaceable along a longitudinal axis (L) of the flexible cover (2) between a retracted position and an extended position with respect to the flexible cover (2).

Abrégé

The invention relates to an abseiling device, comprising a bidirectionally rotatable guide assembly for guiding a tension means, a brake device which is coupled to the guide assembly, wherein a drive means is connectable to the guide assembly for the purposes of actuating the guide assembly, and a torque limiter (27) having a first coupling element (29) and a second coupling element (30), wherein the torque limiter (27) decouples the drive means and the guide assembly if a threshold value of the torque is overshot. According to the invention, an abseiling device which, during the rescue in particular of persons, reliably prevents injury to the person being rescued or damage to parts of the abseiling device, is created by virtue of the first coupling element (29) being movable translationally relative to the second coupling element (30) between a coupling position and a decoupling position.

Abrégé

The invention relates to an abseiling device comprising a bidirectionally rotatable guiding arrangement (25) for guiding a pulling means (26); further comprising a braking mechanism (30) that is coupled to the guiding arrangement (25); a driving means (34; 35) can be connected to the guiding arrangement (25) so as to actuate the guiding arrangement (25). In order to create an abseiling device that prevents an individual from being injured or parts of the abseiling device from being damaged during rescue operations in particular of people, a mechanical torque limiter (33) decouples the driving means (34; 35) and the guiding arrangement (25) or the pulling means (26) when the torque exceeds a certain threshold value.

The invention relates to a rappel device (1), comprising a traction mechanism (15) made of a plastic material, a guide roller (2) for the non-slip guidance of the traction mechanism, and a brake device. A rappel device, which can also be reliably actuated when exposed to high heat, is created according to the invention in that the plastic material comprises at least one fire-resistant material.

Abrégé

The invention relates to an abseiling device having a winch function, comprising a guide roller (2) which is mounted so that it can rotate in both directions and is intended for the non-slip guidance of a rope element (15), a transmission mechanism with a centrifugal brake (7), the large gearwheel (4) of which mechanism is mounted securely against torque on a common shaft (3) with the guide roller (2), and a hand crank (8) for manually actuating the winch function, which acts on the drive shaft (6) of the small gearwheel (5) of the transmission mechanism. Positive locking of the abseiling device at a point which is less subject to loading and thus ensures greater safety is provided according to the invention by virtue of the common shaft (3) of the guide roller (2) and large gearwheel (4) being able to be locked positively.
