Abstract
An attempt was made to develop an improved device for climbing of palms. The device comprises three major parts, namely, (1) Upper dutch around the trunk with handle and with independent clutching mechanism, (2) Lower clutch with platforms for footrest having arrangement for clutching with the trunk and (3) the body with collapsible lever mechanism connecting the top and bottom ring. The device will work on the principle of alternate clutching of upper and lower clutches and lifting of the device with the help of collapsible lever mechanism. The design of the device is described in this paper.
