ABSTRACT:
A rope descent control-brake is in three hingedly interconnected parts with springs at the hinges to urge the parts toward extended condition. Each part has a hole through it, and the rope is threaded in sinuous fashion through the three holes. In extended position, the device acts as a brake; while in collapsed position, the rope can be freely moved through the holes. A further lever assembly can be pivoted intermediate its length to the free end of one of the parts, and a handle can be pivotally mounted on a free end of the lever assembly and provides a control for the speed of descent.
