Abstract
A linear-motion brake system uses a fixed block, a moving block, and a linear-motion resistance assembly to decelerate a user who is tethered to the system via a force-transfer line. The linear-motion resistance assembly is a compressible component that exerts a force on the force-transfer line that opposes the force generated by the user traveling along a zipline. The moving block and the fixed block are positioned on opposite sides of the linear-motion resistance assembly, such that the moving block compresses the linear-motion resistance assembly when impelled by the force-transfer line. The force transfer line is threaded through a pair of guide channels that run along the linear-motion resistance assembly. One end of the force-transfer line is tethered to the fixed block while the opposite end is tethered to the user. Thus, the user's motion is transferred to the moving block and resisted by the linear-motion resistance assembly.
