High load release device

Abstract

A high load release device includes a line having a first portion and a second portion, a rope having a rope loop, a first ring coupled to the line and a second ring coupled to the rope, the second ring coupled to the first ring and the rope loop coupled to the first ring. The high load release device also includes a curved pin coupled to the second portion of the line, the curved pin coupled to the second ring with the rope loop thereby coupling the line to the rope. The high load release device also includes a pair of release handles disposed on the second portion of the line and the second end of the rope, the pair of release handles when pulled releases the coupled curved pin from the rope loop thereby releasing the coupled rope from the line.

         8 . The high load release device according to  claim 1 , wherein the line is a safety line grasped by a user. 
     
     
         9 . The high load release device according to  claim 1 , wherein the high load release device is utilized in a non-emergency situation. 
     
     
         10 . The high load release device according to  claim 1 , wherein the high load release device is utilized in an emergency situation. 
     
     
         11 . A high load release device, comprising:
 a line having a first portion with a first end and a second portion with a first end and a second end;   a rope having a first end, a second end and a rope loop, the rope loop is disposed adjacent to the first end of the rope;   a first ring coupled to the first end of the first portion of the line;   a second ring coupled to the first end of the rope, the first ring being larger than the second ring, the second ring double-backed through the first ring and the rope loop double-backed through the first ring;   a curved pin coupled to the first end of the second portion of the line with the rope loop thereby coupling the line to the rope;   a pair of release handles disposed on the second end of the second portion of the line and the second end of the rope, the pair of release handles when pulled releases the coupled curved pin from the rope loop allowing the rope loop and the second ring to be pulled through the first ring thereby releasing the coupled rope from the line; and   a cover coupled to the curved pin with one or more hook and loop fasteners to cover the high load release device.   
     
     
         12 . The high load release device according to  claim 11 , wherein the first ring and the second ring are made of stainless steel. 
     
     
         13 . The high load release device according to  claim 11 , wherein the line and the rope are made of material selected from the group consisting of nylon, strong fiber or rope. 
     
     
         14 . The high load release device according to  claim 11 , wherein the high load release device is utilized under a high load. 
     
     
         15 . The high load release device according to  claim 11 , wherein the high load release device is utilized under no load.
