Patent attributes
A fall arrest device includes a bracket having first and second side panels, a rotating member rotatably mounted to the bracket, a safety belt wound around the rotating member, a brake wheel engaged with the rotating member and having a groove, a brake block pivotally connected to the brake wheel and located between an inner surface of the brake wheel and an outer surface of the first side panel, and a restoring spring. A stopper is disposed on the outer surface of the first side panel. In this way, the groove could accommodate a part of a body of the restoring spring, preventing the brake block from propelling away from a surface of the brake wheel by the restoring spring, preventing the brake block from rubbing against the first side panel.
