Abstract A gripper assembly 10 for a rope guided conveyance comprises a housing 12 and a pair of spring loaded wedges 14. The gripper assembly 10 is to be mounted to the external side wall of a conveyance 100 having rope guides 102. In the event of a loss of tension from a pulling cable or cables 110, the wedges 14 are released and are biased to move towards each other to grip a rope guide 102 therebetween to prevent movement of conveyance downwards. The gripper assembly 10 thus acts as a backup stop safety assembly. (d)jci8 0 (c) oH60 I o ILtIJ 0_I niTr~ 70 7 (b) 0I I I _L Q L LOQ T~ 80
