Safety harness device
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.
ROPING HARNESS AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ONE SUCH ROPING HARNESS
A roping harness comprises a belt, a pair of leg loops, and a woven layer in the form of a ring and forming the belt or a leg loop. The woven layer comprises longitudinal yarns and transverse yarns. The longitudinal yarns comprising first yarns extend continuously from the first end to the second end to provide a mechanical strength. The woven layer defines a plurality of transverse strips that are woven and arranged adjacent to one another in the first direction with different mechanical properties. The first yarns present a constant constitution from the first end to the second end. Each transverse strip has a constant constitution of the transverse yarns from the first edge to the second edge.
ROPING HARNESS AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ONE SUCH ROPING HARNESS
A harness comprises a woven layer shaped as a ring to form a belt or a leg loop. The woven layer comprises first and second yarns woven to form a weave extending from one longitudinal end to the other. The first and second yarns respectively join the two ends and the two transverse edges. The woven layer presents a longitudinally offset broad portion and narrow portion. The woven layer has at least one fold defining a fold line extending mainly in the first direction to form the narrow portion, with a support portion and an overlap portion folded onto the support portion. The overlap portion and support portion have common first yarns and second yarns.
ROPING HARNESS
A belt of a roping harness having a flexible knit support strip designed to support the dorsal part of a user, an adjustment device of the circumference of the belt having first and second ends fixed to the support strip in first and second positions, and at least three resistance threads each sewn onto the adjustment device in specific third and fourth positions. At least one of the resistance threads presents a larger length than the distance separating its third and fourth positions along the support strip. The belt includes guidelines formed by a knit fabric which secure the resistance threads with the support strip in separated manner from one another in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the support strip. The roping harness comprises a pair of leg loops having similar features.
HARNESS EQUIPPED WITH ERGONOMIC CONNECTION POINTS
Harness composed of textiles straps, and having at least one connection and securing point in the form of a closed loop made from textile material delineating an opening for the passage of a connector. The opening of the textile loop is strengthened by a rigid or semi-rigid insert, which is configured to facilitate fitting of a connector, and comprising a base surface securedly attached to the support structure of the harness to transmit and distribute the forces when the user is in the securing position at work. The insert comprises a shell made from plastic material having an inner hole, and guide means for running of the textile loop when the latter is wound inside the shell.
HUNTER SADDLE WITH INTEGRAL POCKETS
A hunting saddle assembly includes a saddle made of a sling of flexible saddle fabric having a main body portion forming a seat for supporting the backside of a hunter and having side portions extending in opposite lateral directions from the main body portion for wrapping about the hips of the hunter. At least one coupling is provided which is connectible to a tether line for suspending the saddle and hunter in a tree. The assembly includes at least one pocket formed as an integral part of the saddle and having an opening positioned along at least one of the side portions and accessible to the hunter while suspended in the tree.
Crash protection system
A crash protection system includes a base connectable to a support on an open vehicle or an animal. The base includes a front airbag module arranged proximate a front end of the base and a rear airbag module arranged proximate a rear end of the base. The front airbag module has a front airbag, and the rear airbag module has a rear airbag. The system further includes a belt system having a first belt connectable around a waist of a rider and at least one strap connecting the first belt to the base. A control system includes sensors that are monitored to determine whether a crash situation is present and the control system actuates the front airbag module and the rear airbag module and releases the base from the support when the crash situation is present.
TREE SADDLE
A tree saddle includes a panel for cradling a user, a first connector portion that extends from the upper support portion to the lower support portion at the first lateral end of the panel to form a first loop, and a second connector portion that extends from the upper support portion to the lower support portion at the second lateral end of the panel to form a second loop. The panel extends from a first lateral end to a second lateral end opposite the first lateral end and includes an upper support portion, a lower support portion, and a central body portion that is coupled to and extends between the upper and lower support portions.
HARNESS COMPONENT
A harness component may include a wide band portion having a longitudinal length and a transverse width and narrow extension portions extending from opposite longitudinal ends of the wideband portion. The narrow extension portions may include continuous longitudinally extending tension lines that spread apart to form first and second splayed end portions that are longitudinally spaced and nonoverlapping with the wide band portion longitudinally bridging between longitudinally spaced terminal ends of the first splayed end portions and the second splayed end portions.
Harnesses
A harness for supporting a person working at height, including a back, leg loops, two forward connection arrangements and a flexible load-bearing member extending between the connection arrangements, which flexible load-bearing member carries a sliding attachment device attached to a climbing line. The forward connection arrangements transfers load from the back and the leg loops to the load-bearing member. Each forward connection arrangement includes: a body with apertures through which a leg riser webbing of the harness pass to connect the body to the back and the leg loops of the harness; and a bridge passage through which the flexible load-bearing member passes. A forward connection arrangement further includes a rope adjuster with a cam in the bridge passage. The cam pivots on an axle on the body. The cam cooperates with a locking surface of the body within the bridge passage to effect locking of a rope.
