Definitions

  • the invention relates to a roping shorts for the safety of persons performing a rappelling along a rope, comprising a pair of leg loops associated with a belt provided with a central hooking member arranged on the branch ventral, each thigh circumference being equipped with an extension strand attached to a first and a second connection point of the ventral branch, and an adjustment device intended to adjust the desired dimension of the thigh circumference according to the morphology of the user.
  • the adjustment of the thigh loops fitted to known waders or harnesses is generally carried out by means of a loop attached to each thigh loop.
  • the formation of the latter results from the passage of the free end of the main strap in the loop. Just pull the strap in one direction or the other at the buckle to get the desired size.
  • Such an arrangement requires effective blocking of the rope in the loop. Following a fall, a blocking defect may indeed cause an undesirable escape of the strap out of the buckle, and the simultaneous opening of the thigh circumference.
  • the presence of the loop on the thigh also poses the problem of detachment of the loop when using the shorts. See eg GB-A-272602 and FR-A-2 221 910.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the safety and comfort of the adjustable harness or seat harnesses.
  • the shorts according to the invention are characterized in that the adjustment device for each thigh circumference comprises a retaining loop fixed to the belt by a fastening strap, and an adjustment strap having a first free end cooperating with the loop, and a second opposite end secured to the closed ring of the thigh, and that the fixing means, conforming said closed ring, is located between the retaining loop and the second end when the adjustment strap is engaged in the buckle.
  • the first safety criterion is obtained by the impossibility of opening the thigh loops. It is certain that the rings of the leg loops are permanently closed, regardless of the state of the adjustment device.
  • the second comfort criterion results from the attachment of the adjustment buckle to the belt, and not around the thigh. The loosening effect of the loop is thus eliminated.
  • the adjustment strap passes through a loop fixed on each thigh circumference at the corresponding fixing means.
  • the width of the adjustment strap and of the corresponding attachment strap is less than that of the strap forming the thigh towers.
  • a shorts 10 or safety harness includes a pair of thigh loops 12, 14, and a belt 16 equipped with a central hooking member 18 arranged on the ventral branch 20.
  • the end of the ventral branch 20 is provided with a fastener 22 or clasp intended to receive the other end 24 of the dorsal branch 26 to adapt the circumference of the belt 16 to the size of the user.
  • the belt 16 is made from a first strap 28 made of flexible material of high mechanical strength, in particular polyamide.
  • a second strap 30 of the same kind as the first 28 is used for the arrangement of identical thigh towers 12, 14, joined to one another by the hooking member 18.
  • One of the ends of the second strap 30 is attached by a first fastening means 32 at a first predetermined point of said strap 30 to constitute the first thigh circumference 12 shaped according to a closed ring.
  • An extension strand 34 of the first thigh circumference 12 is fixed to a first connection point 36 of the ventral branch 20.
  • the second leg loop 14 is manufactured in an identical manner by means of a second fastening means 38 intended to assemble the opposite end of the strap 30 at a second point.
  • the positioning of the two attachment points of the leg loops 12, 14 is chosen to obtain two identical closed rings.
  • the extension strand 40 of the second thigh circumference 14 is attached to a second connection point 42 of the belt 16.
  • the attachment member 18 is formed by a loop of the strap 30 connected to the two connection points 36, 42. Any other attachment system can be used, in particular a metal loop or two separate fasteners.
  • Each thigh circumference 12, 14 is equipped with an adjustment device 44 intended to adjust the size of the ring as a function of the morphology of the user.
  • the adjustment device 44 of each thigh circumference 12, 14 comprises a retaining loop 46 fixed to the ventral branch 20 of the belt 16 by a fastening strap 48, 50, and an adjustment strap 52 one of the ends 54 of which cooperates with the loop 46, and the opposite end 56 of which is secured to the closed ring of the thigh circumference 12, 14.
  • a loop 58 is sewn onto the visible face of each thigh circumference 12 , 14 in the vicinity of the fixing means 32, 38 to authorize the passage of the adjustment strap 52.
  • the two retaining loops 46 shown in the figures are of the multiple-pass type of the adjustment strap 52, but other loops, in particular with self-tightening, can be used.
  • connection points 36, 42 of the extension strands 34, 40 is less than the spacing of the seams 60, 62 connecting the fastening straps 48, 50 to the belt 16.
  • FIGS. 2 to 4 The operation of the adjusting device 44 of one of the thigh loops is illustrated in FIGS. 2 to 4:
  • the adjustment strap 52 is not engaged in the loop 58 and in the retaining loop 46, and the distance d1 between the end 56 of attachment and the first fixing means 32 is maximum.
  • the thigh ring 12 is permanently closed and has the largest size.
  • the adjustment strap 52 passes through the loop 58 and is engaged in the loop 46 to adjust the adjustment of the thigh circumference 12 to a predetermined value.
  • the rings of the two thigh towers 12, 14 remain permanently closed regardless of the state of the adjustment device 44.
  • the shorts 10 are therefore particularly suitable for climbing schools because it is always usable with a sufficient security, even in case of forgetting to engage the adjustment strap 52 in the retaining loop 46.
  • the width of the adjustment strap 52 and of the attachment strap 48, 50 is less than that of the second strap 30.
  • the retaining loop 46 also has a width that is less than that of the strap 30.
