ROPE ACCESS CHAIR
This invention relates to a rope access chair which, thanks to its geometry, provides unique comfort and safety conditions to people working in heights, due to its two arms wherein two ropes can be attached, thus increasing the chair's stability. The angle formed between the arms of the chair causes the equilibrium of forces to be achieved, providing the worker with stability in parallel to the work's vertical plane. This invention allows two ropes to be installed, thereby increasing stability, since the opening angle of the arms allows the worker to be balanced in the two ropes in parallel to the work's vertical plane, also ensuring that the space ahead is unobstructed so that he is able to work with his hands. The fact that the arms of the chair are ended with eyelets, allows descenders to be fixed thereto in order to perform lowering and raising operations. This invention is designed to be transported by a single man, thus providing greater work autonomy in what concerns the assembly operations of the ropes' systems intended for securing the workers, and its rigidity (which is similar to a common chair) exponentially enhances the workers' comfort.
