A wearable harness has a first strap overlapping a second strap, with each of the first strap and the second strap having a longitudinal axis extending in a direction of a major longitudinal length. The wearable harness further has a reinforced opening extending through each of the first strap and the second strap. The reinforced openings have a pivot axis extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of each of the first strap and the second strap when the reinforced openings overlap each other. The first strap and the second strap are pivotally movable relative to one another about the pivot axis of the central openings.

The roping harness comprises a pair of leg loops and a suspension point. The suspension point comprises: distinct first and second rings, a connecting part fixed continuously to the two distinct rings, the connecting part mechanically connecting the two distinct rings with the pair of leg loops, a closed metal connector provided with a rod. The two rings are separated from one another by a first distance in a first direction and define an empty space between a first lateral surface of the first ring and a second lateral surface of the second ring. The two rings are arranged so as to allow fitting of the rod of the connector in the two rings. The rod presents a longitudinal axis coinciding with the first direction. The rod is fitted movable in rotation in the two rings and the connector is mounted movable in rotation around the rod.

A system of a combined climbing harness and medical tourniquet, and a method for using the system. A looped thigh strap portion of a climbing harness is detachable from the harness belt for separate alternative use as an emergency tourniquet for the user or a patient. The looped thigh strap is provided with features and components to facilitate its use as a functional tourniquet for either an arm or a leg, while nevertheless in ordinary use allowing it to serve as a component of a climbing harness.

A coupler to couple a D-ring from a harness to a fall arrest device connector provides walls to guide and contain the harness webbing whilst allowing it to move freely (reducing webbing wear) and does not necessitate the removal of the coupler, connector, or D-ring as may be required for harness size adjustment. The coupler has a circular passageway which runs through the length allowing a shaft of the connector to couple to the part whilst maintaining 180 degrees of swivel. The coupler also has a groove which runs along the length to fit onto a central bar of the harness D-ring. The design is such that, during a fall, should the device break, the webbing will remain securely coupled to the D-ring of the harness.

A ratcheting strap adjuster comprising a bracket, a webbing plate, and one or more captive members. The webbing plate is rotatably coupled to the bracket. Each of the one or more captive members is moveable between an engaged position and a disengaged position, wherein the one or more captive members restrict rotation of the webbing plate in one direction when the one or more captive members are in the engaged position and allow rotation of the webbing plate in the one direction and in an opposite second direction when the one or more captive members are in the disengaged position.

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 connector includes a frame having a first end, a second end, and a pass-through opening extending between the first end and the second end along a longitudinal axis of the frame. The connector further has a gate positioned between the first end and the second end of the frame and movable between a closed position to close the pass-through opening and an open position to open the pass-through opening. A locking mechanism selectively locks the gate in the closed position. The locking mechanism has a rotatable knob connected to at least one of the first end and the second end of the frame and rotatable in a direction about the longitudinal axis, and a locking indent on the gate configured for receiving at least a portion of the rotatable knob when the gate is in the closed position. The rotatable knob is rotationally biased by a biasing mechanism.

Fall protection apparatus includes a self-retracting lifeline, a tether line and a link member enabling connection of the self-retracting lifeline to the tether line. An anti-connection device is fitted to the link member permitting connection to the self-retracting lifeline but inhibiting connection to other devices when connected to the self-retracting lifeline.

A wearable body harness has first and second shoulder straps arranged in an X-shape, a back plate on a rear portion of the shoulder straps with the first shoulder strap crossing over the second at the back plate. The back plate includes a pair of lower guide slots, having a first lower guide slot side and a second lower guide slot side contiguous with the first and arranged at an angle relative thereto, and a pair of upper guide slots, having a first upper guide slot side and a second upper guide slot side contiguous with the first and arranged at an angle relative thereto. A first of the pair of upper and lower guide slots route a webbing material of the first shoulder strap. A second of the pair of upper and the pair of lower guide slots route the webbing material of the second shoulder strap.
