Protection system for tension members of a structure for collecting ice accumulations detaching from a tension member
First Claim
1. A protective system for tension members of a structure, the protective system comprising:
- a tension member anchored on the structure in a first abutment by a first end and in a second abutment by a second end, and being exposed to climatic conditions by the section running between the abutments;
a protective device for the tension member for collecting ice accumulations detaching from the tension member, the protective device comprising a hose-shaped envelope, which surrounds the tension member on a circumferential side, the hose-shaped envelope being disposed in an axially compressed or folded manner on a partial longitudinal section of the tension member in a first operating position, and extending over a length of the tension member in a stretched state in a second operating position; and
a drive device via which the hose-shaped envelope is movable from the first operating position to the second operating position.

Abstract
A protective system having a protective device for tension members for collecting ice accumulations detaching from a tension member that is anchored on the structure in a first abutment and in a second abutment. The tension member is exposed to climatic conditions by the section running between the abutments. To guarantee protection from falling ice accumulations, the protective device has a hose-shaped envelope, which surrounds the tension member on the circumferential side. The hose-shaped envelope is disposed on a partial longitudinal section of the tension member in an axially compressed or folded manner in a first operating position, and is movable, with the aid of a drive system, to a second operating position, in which the hose-shaped envelope extends over the length of the tension member in the stretched state.
