Es ist eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Auffanggurt vorzusehen, welcher die Belastung auf einen Träger des Gurtes im Falle eines Sturzes reduziert.It is an object of the present invention to provide a safety harness which reduces the stress on a wearer of the harness in the event of a fall.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Auffanggurt nach Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a safety harness according to claim 1.

Somit wird ein Auffanggurt mit einem Brustgurt, einem Bauchgurt, einem Läufer zum Laufen in einer Schiene, einem mit dem Läufer gekoppelten Ring und einer Dämpfungseinheit zwischen dem Brustgurt und dem Bauchgurt vorgesehen. Ein erstes Ende der Dämpfungseinheit ist mit dem Brustgurt und ein zweites Ende ist mit dem Bauchgurt verbunden. Der Ring ist mit einem mittleren Abschnitt der Dämpfungseinheit verbunden. Die Dämpfungseinheit ist dazu ausgestaltet, bei einem Sturz die auf den Träger des Auffanggurtes wirkende Maximalbelastung zu begrenzen. Die Dämpfungseinheit ist dazu ausgestaltet, bei einem Sturz zumindest teilweise aufzureißen, um die Energie des Sturzes zumindest teilweise aufzunehmen. Die Dämpfungseinheit besteht aus mehreren Lagen, die zumindest teilweise bei einem Sturz aufreißen.Thus, a harness is provided with a chest strap, a waist strap, a runner for running in a rail, a ring coupled to the runner, and a damping unit between the chest strap and the waist strap. A first end of the cushioning unit is connected to the chest strap and a second end is connected to the waist strap. The ring is connected to a middle section of the damping unit. The damping unit is designed to limit the maximum load acting on the harness wearer in the event of a fall. The damping unit is designed to tear open at least partially in the event of a fall in order to at least partially absorb the energy of the fall. The cushioning unit consists of several layers, which at least partially tear open in the event of a fall.

Gemäß einem weiteren Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung weist die Dämpfungseinheit zwei miteinander verwobene Lagen oder mindestens zwei miteinander vernähte Lagen auf, welche beim Sturz aufreißen.According to a further aspect of the present invention, the damping unit has two layers that are woven together or at least two layers that are sewn together and tear open in the event of a fall.

Gemäß einem weiteren Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung ist die Dämpfungseinheit in Längsrichtung und/oder in Querrichtung vernäht, wobei die Nähte bei einem Sturz zumindest teilweise aufreißen, um die Energie des Sturzes zumindest teilweise aufzunehmen.According to a further aspect of the present invention, the cushioning unit is sewn in the longitudinal direction and/or in the transverse direction, with the seams tearing open at least partially in the event of a fall in order to at least partially absorb the energy of the fall.

Die Erfindung beruht auf dem Gedanken, einen Auffanggurt mit zwei Schultergurten, einem Bauchgurt, einem Brustgurt und zwei Beingurten vorzusehen. Zwischen dem Bauchgurt und dem Brustgurt wird ein energieabsorbierendes Element oder ein Dämpfungselement vorgesehen, welches im Falle eines Sturzes Energie absorbieren bzw. den Sturz dämpfen kann, so dass die Belastung auf den Körper des Trägers des Auffanggurtes reduziert oder auf einen Maximalbetrag begrenzt wird. An dem energieabsorbierenden Element bzw. der Dämpfungseinheit kann dann beispielsweise ein Läufer befestigt werden, der wiederum in einer Schiene läuft.The invention is based on the idea of providing a safety harness with two shoulder straps, a waist strap, a chest strap and two leg straps. An energy-absorbing element or a damping element is provided between the waist strap and the chest strap, which absorbs energy or can dampen the fall in the event of a fall, so that the load on the body of the wearer of the safety harness is reduced or limited to a maximum amount. A runner, for example, which in turn runs in a rail, can then be attached to the energy-absorbing element or the damping unit.

Die energieabsorbierende Einheit bzw. die Dämpfungseinheit kann einen Aufreißfalldämpfer, einen Reibungsfalldämpfer, ein Schockyard oder dergleichen darstellen.The energy-absorbing unit or the damping unit can represent a rip energy absorber, a friction energy absorber, a shock yard or the like.

Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Auffanggurt kann ebenfalls vermieden werden, dass der Anwender des Auffanggurtes bei einem Sturz in eine Oberkörper-Rücken-Überhanglage kommt.With the safety harness according to the invention it can also be avoided that the user of the safety harness falls into an upper body-back overhang position.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Further configurations of the invention are the subject matter of the dependent claims.

Der Auffanggurt gemäß der Erfindung weist wie bereits oben beschrieben eine Dämpfungseinheit 50 zwischen dem Brustgurt 20 und dem Bauchgurt 30 auf. Diese Dämpfungseinheit ist als ein Dämpfungselement ausgestaltet, welches bei einem Absturz zumindest teilweise einreißt. Dieses Einreißen kann ebenfalls als ein Absturzindikator verwendet werden, so dass ein Auffanggurt mit einem ein- bzw. teilweise abgerissenen Dämpfungselement 50 nicht wieder verwendet wird.As already described above, the safety harness according to the invention has a damping unit 50 between the chest strap 20 and the waist strap 30 . This damping unit is designed as a damping element which tears at least partially in the event of a fall. This tearing can also be used as a fall indicator, so that a safety harness with a cushioning element 50 that has been torn off or partially torn off is not reused.

Die Dämpfungseinheit bzw. die energieabsorbierende Einheit 50 kann eine oder mehrere Schlaufen 51 aufweisen. Ferner besteht sie aus mehreren Lagen, welche zusammengenäht sind und im Falle eines Sturzes aufreißen, um die Maximalbelastung auf den Träger des Gurtes zu begrenzen. Alternativ bzw. zusätzlich dazu kann das Dämpfungselement durch mehrere senkrechte Nähte miteinander verwoben sein, wobei die Nähte im Falle eines Sturzes zumindest teilweise aufreißen und die Sturzenergie so absorbieren können. Alternativ bzw. zusätzlich dazu können die Nähte in der Längsrichtung vorgesehen sein.The damping unit or the energy-absorbing unit 50 can have one or more loops 51 . It also consists of several layers which are sewn together and tear open in the event of a fall in order to limit the maximum load on the harness wearer. As an alternative or in addition to this, the damping element can be woven together by a plurality of vertical seams, with the seams tearing open at least partially in the event of a fall and thus being able to absorb the fall energy. Alternatively or additionally, the seams can be provided in the longitudinal direction.
