A fall arrest assembly includes a pole that is mountable to a tree. A pair of mounts is provided and each of the mounts is mountable to the tree. Each of the mounts engages the pole for mounting the pole to the tree. A body harness is provided that is wearable on a user. A slide is slidably positionable on the pole when the pole is mounted to the tree. The slide frictionally engages the pole when more than a trigger force is exerted on the slide such that the slide resists sliding on the pole. A lanyard is removably attachable between the body harness and the slide. The slide is exposed to a force that exceeds the trigger force when the lanyard supports the weight of the user. In this way the slide inhibits the user from falling rapidly to the ground when the user falls from the tree stand.

A backpack working machine may be configured to eject liquid. The backpack working machine may include: a body unit; and a shoulder harness unit attached to the body unit and configured to be worn on shoulders of a user. The body unit may include: a battery unit comprising a battery attaching part to which a battery is attached; a fan unit comprising a fan configured to operate on electrical power of the battery; and a liquid tank configured to store the liquid. When the backpack working machine is placed on a placement surface, a direction perpendicular to the placement surface may be defined as an up-down direction. When the backpack working machine placed on the placement surface is viewed from above, 50% or more of the battery unit, 50% or more of the fan unit, and 50% or more of the liquid tank may overlap each other.

The subject matter of the invention is a harness for attachment to a person to be secured, in particular a climbing harness or personal protective equipment, having a hip belt, a leg belt, and a belay loop, wherein the hip belt and/or the leg belt each have an eyelet on both sides, the belay loop has at each of its end areas a rectangular buckle and a triglide, and the belay loop is guided at its respective end areas through the respective triglide, the respective end of the belay loop is guided through the respective rectangular buckle, and is connected to the respective end area of the belay loop, so that the respective triglide and rectangular buckle are arranged spaced apart from one another, and by guiding the respective triglide initially through the respective eyelet and subsequently through the respective rectangular buckle, the respective end area of the belay loop is fixable at the respective eyelet.

A fall arrest system for use with a platform includes a harness configured to be worn by an operator, a first bracket and a second bracket configured to be coupled to the platform, a horizontal support including a first end portion coupled to the first bracket and a second end portion coupled to the second bracket, and a harness adapter coupled to the harness, the harness adapter defining an aperture that receives the horizontal support. The harness adapter is repositionable along a length of the horizontal support.

An assist device includes a first harness, a second harness, a belt body and an actuator. The first harness is configured to be fitted to at least one of a shoulder region and a breast region of a user. The second harness is configured to be fitted to left and right leg regions, respectively, or a waist region, of the user. The belt body provided so as to extend to the first harness and to the second harness along a back side of the user. The actuator is provided in the first harness or the second harness and configured to wind and unwind a part of the belt body.

A full body emergency descent system (EDS) for incorporating into a firefighter's coat and pants set outside the interior heat protective barrier liner for said coat and pants to enable safe descent from elevated heights in an emergency. The EDS includes: a panel housing a section of continuous flame resistant rope wrapped vertically between a plurality of horizontally extending elastic loops. The panel also includes a pair of chest straps stored in the coat interior until needed and left and right leg straps with buckles that connect to matching buckles in the lower coat interior for forming a full body harness with both upper and lower harness portions.

A safety harness comprises shoulder straps, a waist strap, and a weight distribution assembly interconnecting the shoulder straps and the waist strap. The weight distribution assembly is configured and arranged to transfer a load from proximate the shoulder straps to proximate the waist strap.

A safety interlock system includes a safety harness comprising a plurality of buckles to secure the harness to a user and a safety attachment ring. A fall-arrest belt clip is configured to be releasably attached to the safety attachment ring, the fall-arrest belt clip attached to a fall-arrest tether of a machine. The system further includes a safety interlock means for disabling an operation of the machine when the fall-arrest clip is detached from the safety attachment ring, the machine coupled to the fall-arrest tether.

An integral lineman safety harness system, having: a body harness having: a belt; a back ring; a left belt strap; and a right belt strap; and a harness adapter having: a first strap having a first top end; wherein a first harness loop at a first bottom end and the left belt strap are sewn around a first ring element; a second strap having a second top end; wherein a second harness loop at a second bottom end and the right belt strap are sewn around a second ring element; a third strap having a third top end; wherein a back loop at a third bottom end is sewn around the back ring; wherein the first strap, the second strap, and the third strap join at the first top end, the second top end, and the third top end into a single top loop configured to receive a locking element.

The disclosed device, system, and method may comprise one or more devices for digital personal protective equipment. These devices may be network enabled wearables. A plurality of sensors, data transmission mechanisms, self-illuminating LEDs, and communication mechanisms may be embedded in a suspension or harness in various embodiments. A number of sensors may likewise be provided in a glove or earbud (ear plug). The device may measure various aspects of a wearer's movement and transmit that data over a data connection (such as a wifi or mobile connection) to a server. The server may house project and human resources data, worker and condition information, and materials and supplies data, according to various examples of embodiments. The system may further comprise one or more applications which may interpret the data provided.
