Abstract
A device for locking an object suspended from a cable passing through a clamp and extending along a substantially vertical axis, the clamp includes a fixed part, at least two moving jaws, a first actuator and a second actuator, the two jaws coming into contact with the cable to immobilize the cable by clamping in a closed position and moving away from the cable in an open position, the fixed part having as many inclined surfaces as there are jaws, each of the jaws being configured to slide along one of the inclined surfaces so as to pass from the open position to the closed position, the first actuator being configured to move the jaws upward, make them slide along their respective inclined surface and allow the clamp to close, the second actuator being configured to pull downward on the cable with respect to the fixed part and allow the clamp to open.
