Outdoor body-suspension device

Abstract

An outdoor body-suspension device (100) having two ropes (11) connected to each other at one end thereof, a connector (15), for connecting the ropes to a stationary facility, each of the ropes having a rigid handle assembly (12) including (a) a chassis (20), (b) a fastener connected to the chassis, for fastening the handle assembly to a rope, (c) a releasing mechanism of the fastener, and (d) a handle (16), where in one configuration the fastener includes two ribbed grasping jaws (18a, 18b) for grasping a rope, and a releasing mechanism, and in another configuration the fastener includes a spring (19) applying force on one of the grasping-jaws against the other grasping-jaw, and a button (17) such that pushing the button results in a loosening of a grasp of the grasping-jaws on each other.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An outdoor body-suspension device, comprising:
 two ropes, connected to each other at one end thereof; and   a connector, for connecting said ropes to a stationary facility,   each of said ropes having a rigid handle assembly comprising
 (a) a chassis, 
 (b) a fastener connected to said chassis, for fastening said handle assembly to a rope, 
 (c) a releasing mechanism of said fastener, and 
 (d) a handle. 
   
     
     
         2 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said fastener comprising two grasping-jaws for grasping a rope by said releasing mechanism. 
     
     
         3 . The device according to  claim 2 , wherein each of said grasping jaws comprises ribs, for increasing a grasp of a rope. 
     
     
         4 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said fastener comprises a spring applying force on one of said grasping-jaws against the other grasping-jaw, and a button such that pushing said button results in a loosening of a grasp of said grasping-jaws on each other. 
     
     
         5 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said fastener comprises a screw for applying force of one of said grasping-jaws against the other. 
     
     
         6 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein an angle between a pulling axis of said handle assembly and a axis of a rope thereof is greater than zero, for preventing of a contact between a hand of a user to a loose part of said rope. 
     
     
         7 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein each bolt of said device which is accessible by a user is a one-way screw. 
     
     
         8 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said fastener comprises a ratchet mechanism for allowing decreasing a length of said rope between said connector and said handle assembly.
