A seat for safety harness comprises a load-bearing framework formed by a one-way bending chain including multiple sequentially connected links, which form a support surface of the seat. A method of use of the seat for safety harness comprises, before the use, turning over the load-bearing framework so as to transit the load-bearing framework into its operational position. A method of manufacturing a seat for safety harness, the method comprising formation of a load-bearing framework by a one-way bending chain that includes multiple sequentially connected links forming a support surface of the seat. The use of the one-way bending chain for forming a load-bearing framework provides physiology-friendly abutment on ischial tuberosity so a risk of orthostatic collapse occurrence in the user is dramatically reduced. The seat does not impede walking when in the non-operational position, and its small weight and dimensions allow its use in sports and expeditions.

A safety harness assembly includes an upper cradle and a lower cradle. Each of the upper and lower cradles has a front side, a rear side, a top edge, a bottom edge, a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge. The upper cradle is positioned above the lower cradle such that the bottom edge of the upper cradle is positioned adjacent to the top edge of the lower cradle. The upper cradle is positionable against a lower back of a person and the lower cradle is positionable against upper legs of a person. A plurality of bridge connectors is attached to the upper and lower cradles and engage a bridge rope. An adjustment member is attached to and extends between the upper and lower cradles. The adjustment member has an adjustable length to selectively alter a distance between the upper and lower cradles.

A safety harness bridge rope engagement system includes a harness and a pair of bridge connectors attached to the harness. The bridge connectors are configured to engage a bridge rope. Each of the bridge connectors has a plurality of channels therein. One of the channels is selected to receive a bridge rope to retain the bridge rope at the selected location to adjust the point of pressure between the harness and user of the harness.

An energy dissipating link includes: an elongated base having opposite, first and second end portions; and a plurality of touch fasteners permanently coupled to the base, each of the plurality of touch fasteners releasably engageable with at least one other of the touch fasteners. The plurality of touch fasteners is arranged on the base to form first and second closures, each including engagements between respective fastening elements of two or more of the plurality of touch fasteners. The plurality of touch fasteners is configured such that: in response to a tensile load applied to the end portions of the base, the engaged touch fasteners of the first closure are loaded in shear along a shear plane; and in response to a tensile overload condition causing shear displacement of the touch fasteners of the first closure, the engaged touch fasteners of the second closure are subjected to a peel load.

A trunk control system having a harness assembly and a flexion control assembly. The harness assembly has a backrest member and a harness secured to the backrest member. The backrest member is configured to be moveably coupled to a wheelchair. The backrest member is selectively moveable about and between a fully retracted position and a fully extended position. The harness cooperates with the backrest member to define a receiving space for receiving at least a portion of a torso of a wheelchair user. The flexion control assembly is coupled to the backrest member of the harness assembly. The flexion control assembly is configured to selectively permit or restrict movement of the backrest member about and between the fully retracted position and the fully extended position.

A harness mountable insulating assembly includes a panel that is flexible and has a front side, a back side and a perimeter edge. The perimeter edge includes an upper edge, a lower edge, a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge. A coupler attaches the panel to a safety harness so that panel extends downwardly to cover buttocks of a person using the safety harness. This positioning retains heat between the panel and the buttocks.

A harness configured for being removably attachable to a body of a user has an optional pair of leg straps, an optional belt strap, and a shoulder strap. The shoulder strap has a front portion attached to a front end of each leg strap and a rear portion attached to a rear end of each leg strap. At least a portion of the shoulder strap has an energy absorbing element formed integrally therein having a tearable webbing material with at least two bound, load-bearing webbing components configured to tear from one another.

The invention relates to a safety harness device for catching a person if they fall, in particular in the case of construction activities, comprising at least one shoulder strap, which has a chest portion, a shoulder portion and a back portion, comprising a locking element for releasably attaching a safety rope, wherein the locking element can be transferred between a working position, in which the locking element is arranged on the back portion side of the shoulder strap, and a catch position, in which the locking element is arranged on the chest portion side of the shoulder strap.

The roping harness comprises: a belt provided with a first strap and with at least first and second comfort parts arranged between the first strap and the user, a pair of thigh straps, a connecting element connected to the pair of thigh straps, a first adjustment device configured to adjust the length of the first strap and to define the circumference of the belt. The first comfort pad and second comfort pad are fitted movable in translation with respect to one another. The first comfort pad is fitted movable in translation with respect to the first strap along the first strap. The belt comprises at least a first blocking stop configured to prevent movement of the first comfort pad with respect to the second comfort pad beyond a threshold value, the first adjustment device forming a second blocking stop of the first comfort pad.

A strap includes at least a first and second area, the first and second areas being consecutive along a longitudinal axis of the strap. The strap is woven from at least the first, second and third groups of warp threads and at least one weft thread, the strap being devoid of the second group in the second area, and of the third group in the first area, the first group passing through the first and second areas. The first group and second group of warp threads are distributed over the width of the strap in the first area.
