Outdoor body-suspension device

Abstract

An outdoor body-suspension device having two ropes, connected to an outdoor stationary facility, each of the ropes having a handle assembly including (a) a grasping mechanism, for grasping the handle assembly to a rope of the ropes, (b) a releasing mechanism, for loosening a grasp of the handle assembly on the rope, and (c) a handle, where parts of the handle assembly are connected to each other by one or more one-way screws, thereby preventing from the handle assembly to be dismantled, resulting with maintaining a user's safety when using the outdoor body-suspension device, and providing an indication that the handle assembly has not been dismantled during a use thereof.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An outdoor body-suspension device, comprising:
 two ropes, connected to an outdoor stationary facility,   each of said ropes having a handle assembly comprising:
 (a) a grasping mechanism, for grasping said handle assembly to a rope of said ropes; 
 (b) a releasing mechanism, for loosening a grasp of said handle assembly on said rope; and 
 (c) a handle, 
   wherein parts of said handle assembly are connected to each other by one or more one-way screws,   thereby preventing from said handle assembly to be dismantled,   resulting with maintaining a user's safety when using said outdoor body-suspension device, and providing an indication that said handle assembly has not been dismantled during a use thereof.   
     
     
         2 . A device according to  claim 1 , wherein said grasping and releasing mechanisms are activated by a push button. 
     
     
         3 . A device according to  claim 1 , wherein said grasping and releasing mechanism comprises:
 a stationary object;   an arm rotatable along a hinge and pushed towards a rope against a stationary object; and   a push button, for applying force on said arm to distance from said rope,   thereby upon pushing said push button, distancing said arm from said rope, and upon releasing said push button, fastening said rope between said arm and said stationary object.   
     
     
         4 . A device according to  claim 1 , wherein said arm comprises a rough surface, for increasing a friction between said arm and said rope. 
     
     
         5 . A device according to  claim 4 , wherein said rough surface comprises spikes. 
     
     
         6 . A device according to  claim 4 , wherein said rough surface comprises ribs. 
     
     
         7 . A device according to  claim 4 , wherein said rough surface comprises a material with a high coefficient of friction. 
     
     
         8 . A device according to  claim 1 , wherein an angle between a pulling axis of said handle assembly and an axis of a rope thereof is greater than zero, for preventing of a contact between a hand of a user to a loosened part of said rope. 
     
     
         9 . A device according to  claim 1 , further comprises a barrier at an end of each of said two ropes for blocking an attempt to remove said handle assembly of a rope thereof by pulling the handle assembly beyond the end of said rope. 
     
     
         10 . A device according to  claim 3 , wherein a rotation of said arm around a hinge is limited to an angle that a force exerted on said rope is maximal.
