New Allen Keyball Trapeze System: DAME 2014 Nominee

Designer Julian Bethwaite had also been thinking along the same lines and had produced a prototype of the keyball trapeze system. In conjunction with Bethwaite Design, Allen have developed the concept into a sleek and innovative design, eliminating the hook altogether to create a safe intuitive solution that really works.

The ball and guide is manufactured from solid aluminium in three parts:

• A solid aluminium guide with an integral rope-friendly thimble for attachment to the trapeze lines via a height adjustable rope system.

• A flexible section joining the ball to the guide enabling articulation

• A solid aluminium ball for smooth and secure location

The buckle is manufactured from two parts and bolted securely together:

• A 3D moulded keyhole with a wide opening guides the ball securely into place when trapezing whilst easily releasing when required.

• A stainless steel back-plate in either narrow or spreader format allow for easy changing to suit different designs of harness.
