A retracting lifeline system, includes: a housing, a first connector attached to the housing, a lifeline, and a hub to which the lifeline is attached at a first end of the lifeline and around which the lifeline is coiled within the housing. The housing includes an opening through which the lifeline exits the housing. The hub is tensioned to rotate in a first direction to cause retracting of the lifeline and coiling of the lifeline around the hub. The retracting lifeline system further includes a second connector attached to a second end of the lifeline. At least a section of the lifeline has an initial ultimate tensile load of at least 8000 pounds and is abrasion resistant (that is, satisfying the abrasion test requirement set forth in the ANSI/ASSE Z359.13 2009 standard) such that the section of the lifeline is available for tie-back anchoring using the second connector. The section of the lifeline is at least partially retractable within the housing.

Fall protection harness

A system includes a support including an extending rigid member and a first attachment at a first position on the rigid member to which a first self-retracting lifeline is attached. The first self-retracing lifeline includes a first housing from which a first lifeline exits. The first housing is movable relative to the rigid member. The system also includes at least a second attachment at a second position on the rigid member to which a second self-retracing lifeline. The second self-retracting lifeline includes a second housing from which a second lifeline exits. The second housing is movable relative to the rigid member independent of the movement of the first housing. The first position is spaced from the second position. The system further includes a connector attached to the frame to connect the frame to an article (for example, a safety harness such as a full body safety harness) worn by a user.

Systems for use with multiple safety devices and connectors for use therewith

An altimeter ( ) of the aneroid type having a correctable digitizer is shown. When the pilot sets the altimeter to the local barometric pressure, the correctable digitizer is also set to the local barometric pressure. An input device ( ) connected between the barometric pressure correction control ( ) and the digitizer ( ) generates a barometric pressure correction signal ( ) which is routed to digitizer ( ). Barometric pressure correction signal ( ) modifies the aircraft altitude output value of digitizer ( ) to a corrected aircraft altitude output value ( ) which is routed to one or more external navigation systems ( ).

Altimeter having correctable digitizer and method of use

An improved folding burner apparatus which is characterized by three support legs, two of which legs are each provided with a compression leg fitting for pivotally mounting the support legs on a burner pipe in foldable relationship. Each of the leg fittings is further provided with a leg stop which contacts the burner pipe when the legs are deployed, to prevent the legs from folding excessively when the burner apparatus is oriented in functional configuration. The third leg is fixed to a leg collar which is rigidly attached to the burner pipe and serves to stabilize a gas inlet line which terminates inside the bottom area of the burner pipe.

The invention disclosed herein relates to fireproof building panels for use in building structures and in adding to existing structures where it is desired to insulate the internal volume defined by the structure from a high outside ambient temperature. The building panel is comprised of a fiber insulating material placed against a metal screen. The outer perimeter of the fiber material and the metal frame is surrounded by a metallic channel.
