KC chest clip having an extension guard
A child restraint harness system includes first and second shoulder straps that have button holes located on the y-axis of the straps and a chest clip device which consists of two separate connectors that join together to form the chest clip device. On each connector, there is an extension guard located on the inferior portion of the chest clip device. Also, on each extension guard, there is a button located inferior to the bottom shoulder strap slot. Once the first and second shoulder straps are threaded through the top shoulder strap slot and then threaded through the bottom shoulder strap slot, the extension guard located on the inferior portion of the chest clip device can be buttoned into the shoulder straps, which secures the chest clip device in the proper position so the child cannot move the chest clip in the downward position. Once the child grows to the next strap level on the safety seat, the chest clip can be unfastened and each extension on the connector can be unbuttoned and moved up to reach the proper placement of the chest clip on the child.
Pole climbing fall prevention assembly
A fall prevention assembly to prevent injuries when a user climbing a pole and falls, is provided. The fall prevention assembly includes a pole strap, a first connector, a floating back plate, a second connector and a lanyard. The pole strap has a first end, a second end and a mid portion between the first end and the second end. The first connector has a first end that is slidably coupled proximate the first end of the pole strap. The floating back plate is engaged between a portion of the first connector and the pole strap and is configured and arranged to selectively bind the pole strap to the first connector. The second connector is coupled a select distance from the second end of the pole strap. The lanyard has a first end, a second end and mid portion between the first and second ends. A second end of the first connector is slidably coupled to the lanyard. A second end of the second connector is slidably coupled to the lanyard such that the mid-portion of the pole strap and the mid-portion of the lanyard can be positioned around a pole to be climbed.
Connector
A connector comprises a base, a gate, and a locking mechanism. The base forms an opening. The gate is slidably operatively connected to the base and spans the opening. The locking member has an engaging position and a releasing position. The engaging position secures the gate to the base, and the releasing position allows the gate to be moved relative to the base.
