A leg pad assembly for a safety harness, the leg pad assembly including a pair of leg pad portions structured to receive leg straps of the safety harness, a central pad portion connecting the pair of leg pad portions and structured to receive a seat strap of the safety harness, a pair of handles, wherein each handle is attached to one of the pair of leg pad portions, and elastic cording attached to each of the pair of handles and being structured to bias the pair of handles toward each other and against the pair of leg pad portions.

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.

A textile connector comprises a woven element in the shape of a tubular ring and a yarn forming a plurality of loops arranged in the tubular ring. The loops provide a strength of the textile connector. A seam is formed by means of at least one yarn passing through the two ends of the woven element several times to close the tubular ring. The woven element is a tubular woven element defining a through hole from a first end to an opposite second end along a longitudinal axis. The first end is an outer end that overlaps the second end forming an inner end. The seam secures the outer end with the inner end and defines joins angularly offset from one another when observed in the longitudinal direction.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a fall-protection safety harness having padding structures located at harness pressure points, including dorsal and shoulder regions, the lumbar region, and leg regions. The padding structures may be constructed to provide air-flow parallel to a wearer's skin. Air may flow through wearer-webbing channels created by displacing a webbing via comfort pads. For example, the padding structures may be made by sandwiching foam pads between mesh fabric materials. The foam pads may be captured by the two mesh fabrics using circumferential stitching, for example. Circumferential stitching may permit the foam to retain its uncompressed form which may facilitate webbing displacement. Separate and symmetric pads may be located on both sides of a wearer's spine, both at the lumbar region and at the dorsal region of the back, permitting airflow between pads and along the wearer's spine.

A safety restraint system for use by a worker working in a bucket, including a primary tether line that securely encircles the bucket at a position adjacent to the upper rim thereof; at least a pair of straps connected to the tether line on opposite sides of the bucket; a safety harness or aerial belt adapted to be worn by the worker and having at least a pair of clips attached thereto; and at least a pair of straps that interconnect the harness buckles to the straps on the tether line, thereby interconnecting the harness to the tether line.

A harness system for harnessing a user to a suspension device. The harness comprises a strap system having a plurality of straps configured and operable to connect the suspension device to a back region of the harness, each strap having a back end portion at said back region and connectable to the suspension device, and a front end portion located in a front side of the harness. The straps extend from the back region to the front side of the harness and wrap around all sides of a torso of said user. A single connector assembly is used for quick connection of front end portions of at least some of the straps at the front side of the harness in a single interlocking operation, thereby to secure the harness to the user.

A roping harness includes a belt, a first and a second leg loop, and shoulder straps. The belt has an inner and an outer face. A first loop is fixed to the belt and designed for attachment of the shoulder straps. A second loop is fixed to the belt and is distinct from the first loop, the second loop being designed to form a ventral attachment point. A first strap defines a ring securely fixed to the belt and to the leg loops, the first strap being attached to the belt by a seam. The first and second loop are arranged in the ring, the first loop being outside the second loop and the second loop being outside the first loop. The first loop is arranged facing the second loop in a direction parallel to a first direction that passes through the inner and the outer face of the belt.
