PATENT PENDING
V-PROOF SYSTEM
When belaying, some processes are critical
(like taking-in and paying-out rope to the lead-
er, or taking-in slack during top-roping) and, in
the event of a fall, require the V-shaped angle
of separation between the two sections of the
rope to be maintained. A reduction in the value
of this angle can affect the proper functioning
of the device when locking the rope.
The V-Proof System, featured on Click
Up+, reduces the chance of error due to
an incorrect reduction of the V-angle be-
tween the two strands of the rope.
It consists of a mobile partition that facilitates
the activation of the assisted-braking system. If
during the fall of the climber the hand side of
the rope comes into contact with the partition
(Fig. 1), this pressure contributes to the rotation
of the device and to the consequent locking on

the rope (Fig. 2).
