Safety system with load detection sensor on safety hook
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11969612B2) discloses a safety system designed to enhance safety measures in various applications. The system includes a rope or lanyard with a safety hook attached, along with a load detection sensor retrofitted onto the safety hook without compromising its structural integrity. This sensor generates a load status signal, which is then transmitted by a transmitter for further action.
Moreover, the safety system can generate notifications based on the load status signal received from the transmitter. These notifications can indicate whether a load is detected, if the safety hook is connected to a safety line, or if a load greater than a predetermined threshold is detected, or if the safety hook is disconnected. Additionally, the system may include multiple ropes or lanyards with corresponding safety hooks, each equipped with a load detection sensor. Furthermore, warning means such as visual, audible, or combined notifications can be generated to alert users of any safety concerns, with options like LED lights or a beacon with processing means, a receiver, and warning capabilities included in the system.
