Principle of the Spreader Bar

In a performer lifting or flying object suspension system, it is frequently necessary to keep the suspension lines spaced a certain distance apart.
This is particularly the case for suspensions and Flying FX based on "2 points" harnesses hung at the hips.
The spacing width of the lines frees contact with the artist's shoulders for greater freedom of movement.
In some cases, on the contrary, the lines are placed parallel so that the artist can easily find a good blocking position with his shoulders.

Depending on the width of the coat hanger, the side points are more or less spaced apart so that the lines going from the hanger towards the performer form a “V”.
- Either to allow freedom of movement to the shoulders and front-back rotations
- Either to block the lines in the back at the level of the shoulder blades

Bar Benefits of our spreader bar concept

The principle of this simple design is to offer maximum ease of management to the flight designer so that he can easily adapt to the situation.

The advantages of this concept are:
* The bars and their terminations are black, thin and discreet: only 25 mm
* The bars are light thanks to the use of a thin steel pipe which offers an great Rigidity * Strength / Mass ratio
* Thanks to this low mass, the bars offer not much inertia and do not disturb too much the behavior of the suspension lines, which is very useful for strongly dynamic effects with acceleration or changes of direction
* The bars resist well to the compression which would result from the angles of suspension of the flight wires, either up (connection to the flying machine), or down (angles towards the harness of the artist)
* Nevertheless, in order to limit asymmetric forces and compression in the bar, it is advisable to aim for an angle of 60° and to limit yourself to an angle of 90° at the head
* The bars are easy to combine in order to form frames in the plane or in space
* The bars allow you to easily switch from a front flight to a profile flight or vice versa, by placing two bars perpendicularly one above the other and recreating a pyramid with the suspension lines

How the spreader bars work

These spreader bars are lightweight and are effectively designed to play their role as spacers by entering the vertical force transmission chain only through their end plates.
Therefore, they present a low risk in the event of rupture or compression failure, as the lines of force are still intact.

The particular design of the ends of the bar makes it possible to center the compression forces well, which makes it possible to delay the moment of deformation of the bar by buckling.
The bars therefore accept significant compressive forces: generally 200 kg (daN) maximum and up to 300 daN for bars less than 110 cm.
This allows you to either have heavy loads, or large dynamic coefficients, or very tight suspension angles.
