Banana 下降器
SPELEO DESCENDERFIXED WHEELS Descender for speleologists
with fixed wheels, designed to descent with a single rope.
The Banana
descender offers several characteristics that make it more handy and reliable in
comparison to the conventional tools.
We may say it was designed keeping
in mind the several arrangements that speleologists normally use in order to
control the descent speed, and to balance the different diameters and wear
conditions of the rope.
The sidelong location of the upper locking pin,
makes easier the engagement-disengagement of ropes with bigger diameters and,
moreover, it helps taking in the slack rope upwards of the tool.
The fixed wheels may be swapped each other, or rotated of 180°
so as to equally spread the wear and tear.
Anyway, the side plates that
protect them, are large enough to reduce the risk coming from knocks, which may
be more dangerous as the tool is worn out.
Its ingenious geometry and
the position taken under load, give to this descender a very high braking
power.
That's why the real experts may even use it without the
conventional "brake connector". In this case they pay attention to stop the
descent in safety by means of a simplified blocking-hitch.
The skilled
speleologists, who have been charged to estimate the Banana descender, have
mostly appreciated its behaviour under load, for its very high steadiness
against turn-over hazard.
They have also acknowledged that, throughout
rope operations, its trouble-free handling fulfils the requirements of the most
advanced speleological practices.
