Filed:

Jan 9, 2020

Appl. No.:

16/738723

Inventors:

- Boulder CO, US
Steven K. Holmes - Golden CO, US

International Classification:

B60L 7/28
H02K 49/04
B60T 13/74
F16D 63/00
B60T 7/12
B61B 3/00
B61H 7/08

Abstract:

An apparatus has a first portion of a magnetic braking system with a first element disposed thereon. The first portion rotates about an axis. The position of the first element is a fixed distance from the axis. A second portion of the magnetic braking system has a second element disposed thereon. A spring biases the rotatable first portion a first distance from the second portion. Upon application of a force to one of the portions, the relative position of the rotatable first portion to the second portion is reduced to a second distance less than the first distance.

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a permissions-based alarm system for use in climbing environment. The permissions-based alarm system includes an identification device storing a permission setting relating to an aspect of the climbing environment and a detection module in communication with the identification device. The detection module detects the permission setting stored on the identification device and detects proximity of the identification device to an area restricted by the permission setting. When the identification device enters the restricted area of the climbing environment, an alert is provided.

Appl. No.:

14/831310

Inventors:

John Lewis McGowan - Boulder CO, US

B61H 7/08

Abstract:

An apparatus has a first truck that includes a frame. A roller is rotatably attached to the frame and a lever arm is pivotably connected to the frame. The lever arm includes a load point, a magnet, and a non-ferrous conductive material. A biasing element biases the lever arm into a first angular position. A load applied to the load point drives the lever arm against a biasing force of the biasing element, and towards a second angular position.
