Description

The invention relates to a safety suit, especially for work or rescue use, as described in the preambles of claims 1 and 10.

The EP 1 222 004 B1 describes a work safety and rescue suit with a jumpsuit and fixed with the overall stitched straps in the thigh area, buttocks area and underarm area. The straps sewn firmly in the seat area and in the underarm area with the overall, which are preferably additionally connected to each other by longitudinally sewn to the overall length belt, are connected at their ends in each case with two movable straps on the front part of the coverall by fastening rings. Furthermore, additional, freely movable straps are provided on the front part, which extend from the thigh area high and are each connected together with two of the other movable straps in a movable mounting ring in the chest area. Although the provision of these additional straps ensures a secure holding and catching for a user, however, these are freely extending from the overalls and thus arranged distanced from this, moving straps in many cases disturbing the labor input.

From the DE 44 12 076 C1 a fastening device for a Lifebelt has become known especially on a sailing clothing. The fastening device has tunnel sections which at least partially overlap the straps of the life belt on the sailing clothing to fasten them. With regard to their longitudinal direction, the tunnel sections each have an edge which is firmly connected to the sailing clothing and an edge which is detachably connected to the sailing clothing. The releasable attachment is designed so that on the one hand a secure attachment of Lifebelts is ensured on the sailcloth, but the destruction of the sailcloth is safely prevented tightening the attached Lifebelts.

From the DE 20 2012 008 849 U1 For example, a vest has been disclosed with fasteners for a safety belt provided on an outer side of the vest. In this case, the fastening means are designed such that the safety belt can be removed from the outside of the vest. Thus, the same vest can be equipped with different safety belts become. Thus, in case of damage, the belt can be easily replaced with a new belt. Furthermore, after the removal of the belt and the vest can be washed alone in the usual way. During use, the otherwise loosely located on the outside of the belt is held by the fastening means on the vest in position.

The DE 20 2008 004 980 U1 describes a harness provided with a safety harness, in which the safety harness is sewn to the body part of the coveralls. A connecting line is arranged in the region of a belt of the securing harness running over the shoulder, which is looped at one of its ends around a crossing point of the shoulder straps situated on the back region of the body section. The connecting line further has fastening parts with which it is held on the underlying shoulder strap. With the front of the coverall facing the connecting end of the connecting line a safety rope is connected.

From the US 5,072,457 A1 is a simply adaptable to the body dimensions of a pilot vest with straps arranged thereon. The arranged on the vest harness is used in an emergency for the pilot in the event of a parachute jump. In order not to have to keep a variety of different sizes of vests in stock or to have to adapt by specialized personnel to the body dimensions of the individual pilots, the vest is formed of a front part and a back part, which are connected to each other after the fitting process to the finished vest. Furthermore, several strips are sewn to the vest or the waistband parts, which serve as a tunnel for receiving individual straps. For the adjustment process, the straps are provisionally held in relative position on the vest. After the fitting process, on the one hand, the western parts are connected to each other and on the other hand, the straps sewn firmly with the vest.

The present invention has for its object to provide a safety suit in which, especially in labor for the user a sufficient undisturbed space in his front area is available and still in a possible fall and the associated capture of the body through the safety suit of the occurring Catch is damped or reduced.

This object of the invention is solved by the features of claim 1.

The advantage resulting from the features of claim 1 lies in the fact that, due to the at least predominant arrangement of the straps in the region of the front side of the overalls, the straps are largely prevented from protruding from the outer surface of the coveralls within the individual channels provided for this purpose. This then takes place only in the area of the eyelets, with which the user of the safety suit is secured by a belay device, for example with a rope, a belt or the like, in his work. Thus, the user is provided with sufficient freedom for his work, so that undisturbed work can be carried out by the user, without the straps carrying him disturbing or hindering act. Furthermore, it is also achieved by the leadership of the individual straps within the individual channels an additional frictional effect, which can be reduced in a possible fall and the associated capture of the body forces acting on the user and thus damped. Thus, the forces acting on the user forces are reduced, whereby a "softer" catching the user through the safety suit. In addition, it is possible to arrange and train according to the requirements and body size provided for receiving and guiding the individual straps on an already prefabricated overalls. Thus, each of the channels is formed by its own Kanalabdeckelement, which can be adjusted individually according to the needs and dimensions of the straps for each application and purpose. Furthermore, the possibility is thus created, in addition to the friction effect between the belt and the channel walls to be able to reduce additional degradation of forces caused by the user's energy impact. By the predefined separation or dissolution of the first connection device is already a high energy and power reduction, whereby the body of the user is caught strongly attenuated until reaching the final hanging position. Furthermore, this can be done on the overall without the interposition of additional straps and collecting rings direct load transfer from the two central eyebolts on the individual straps and overalls up to the body of the user of the safety suit. According to an advantageous development of an easy-to-use safety suit is created in which already predefined attachment points are created for the to be performed, hanging work. Furthermore, but also a close-fitting arrangement of the individual eyelets during use can be created.

Also advantageous is a further embodiment according to claim 2, since by the relative displacement possibility of recorded within the individual channels straps not only during use, an optimal adjustment of the respective sitting or hanging position for the user of the safety suit is possible, but also additionally Friction effect for the reduction of the occurring fall forces is increased and thus a softer capture of the user by the safety suit takes place.

Also advantageous is a development according to claim 3, characterized in that the Kanalabdeckelement is in the region of its second longitudinal edge region fixedly connected to the coveralls and thereby depending on the choice and design of the first connection device a renewed use of the safety suit is made possible without additional maintenance. Furthermore, but also the permanent arrangement of the individual Kanalabdeckelemente be ensured on the overall.

According to an embodiment as described in claim 4, the individual connection devices can be easily adapted to the respective conditions of use. In addition, reuse and re-closing of the connection devices can be achieved with appropriate choice, as is the case with a hook-and-loop fastener or printhead assembly, for example.

In this case, an embodiment according to claim 5 proves advantageous because thereby a comfortable wearing feel of the safety suit is created for the user even in an angled sitting position. In addition, but also a longer-lasting working posture can be taken without it comes to a crushing of the blood supply in the legs.

Finally, however, are also embodiments of the belt guide and arrangement on overalls, as described in the claims 6 to 9 described possible because of the overall without the interposition of additional straps and collecting rings direct load transfer from the two central eyebolts on the individual straps and overalls up on the user's body of the safety suit. Due to the different arrangement of the transverse and longitudinal straps and shoulder straps in conjunction with the channel guide in the front area the safety suit ensures not only during the labor input safe holding and carrying the respective person, but also achieved a sufficient damping effect in the event of a jerk or jerky load.

However, this object of the invention can be achieved independently of the features of claim 10.

The advantage resulting from the features of claim 10 lies in the fact that, due to the at least predominant arrangement of the straps in the region of the front side of the overalls, the straps are largely prevented from protruding from the outer surface of the coveralls within the individual channels provided for this purpose. This then takes place only in the area of the eyelets, with which the user of the safety suit is secured by a belay device, for example with a rope, a belt or the like, in his work. Thus, the user is provided with sufficient freedom for his work, so that undisturbed work can be carried out by the user, without the straps carrying him disturbing or hindering act. Furthermore, it is also achieved by the leadership of the individual straps within the individual channels an additional frictional effect, which can be reduced in a possible fall and the associated capture of the body forces acting on the user and thus damped. Thus, the forces acting on the user forces are reduced, whereby a "softer" catching the user through the safety suit. Furthermore, this can be achieved so that a complete enclosing of the respective belt takes place within the tubular component. In order for a direct contact of the individual straps can be prevented or minimized with the respective connection device. By providing the tubular component of each recorded therein belt is always protected against additional damage and does not come directly with other components in a fall in contact. Damage to the belt or straps can be avoided in the long term. In addition, it can be detached from the surface of the coverall in the region of the third connection device, the entire tubular component. By providing the tubular component of the recorded therein belt is always protected against additional damage. Also advantageous is a further embodiment according to claim 11, since not only during the use of an optimal adjustment of the respective sitting or hanging position for the user of the safety suit is possible by the relative displacement possibility of the recorded within the individual channels straps, but also additionally the Friction effect for the reduction of the occurring fall forces is increased and thus a softer capture of the user by the safety suit takes place.

By virtue of the embodiment according to claim 12, again a predefined holding force and, associated therewith, a damping effect during the opening of the fourth connecting device as a result of a fall and the associated higher loads can be achieved. In addition, however, this can also be a simple replacement of the respective component for receiving the straps done, since this is fastened as a separate component on the overall connection via the third connection device.

Also advantageous is an embodiment according to claim 13, as always the tubular component adheres to the overall and the fourth connection device for the controlled degradation of forces occurring during a fall on the body of the user.

According to an embodiment as described in claim 14, the individual connection devices can be easily adapted to the respective conditions of use. In addition, reuse and re-closing of the connection devices can be achieved with appropriate choice, as is the case with a hook-and-loop fastener or printhead assembly, for example.

In this case, an embodiment according to claim 15 proves advantageous because thereby a comfortable wearing feeling of the safety suit is created for the user even in an angled sitting position. In addition, but also a longer-lasting working posture can be taken without it comes to a crushing of the blood supply in the legs.

According to an advantageous embodiment according to claim 16, an easy-to-use safety suit is created in which already predefined attachment points are created for the to be performed, hanging work. Furthermore, it can also do so a close-fitting arrangement of the individual eyebolts are created during use.

Finally, however, are also embodiments of the belt guide and arrangement on overalls, as described in the claims 17 to 23 possible, since thereby on the overall without the interposition of additional straps and collecting rings direct load transfer from the two central eyebolts on the individual straps and overalls up on the user's body of the safety suit. Due to the different arrangement of the transverse and longitudinal straps and shoulder straps in conjunction with the channel guide in the front of the safety suit not only during the labor input secure holding and carrying the respective person ensured, but also achieved a sufficient damping effect in the event of a jerk or jerky load.

For a better understanding of the invention, this will be explained in more detail with reference to the following figures.

By way of introduction, it should be noted that in the differently described embodiments, the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals or the same component names, the disclosures contained in the entire description can be mutatis mutandis to the same parts with the same reference numerals or component names. Also, the location information chosen in the description, such as top, bottom, side, etc. related to the immediately described and illustrated figure and are to be transferred to the new situation mutatis mutandis when a change in position.

In the Fig. 1 to 3 is a safety suit 1, in particular for the work and / or rescue deployment shown comprising a coverall 2, arranged on a coverall 2 belt assembly 3 and at least one connected to the belt assembly 3 collecting eye 4. The coverall 2 here has a short-sleeved and short-legged embodiment. It would also be possible to provide the sleeves and / or legs either fixed or abzippbar on the base body of the coverall 2. Furthermore, it would also be possible to provide a high collar and / or a hood in the neck area.

The coverall 2, in turn, has a front side 5, a rear side 6 facing away therefrom and left and right connecting sides 7a, 7b extending therebetween on both sides. The previously described sides 5, 6, 7a, 7b form an outer surface 8 of the overalls 2.

Furthermore, it should be noted in general that the information in this description with left and right related to the in the Fig. 1 shown front view or front view for the viewer of the safety suit 1 relate.

The coverall 2 is formed in the region of its front side 5 in such a way that it can be opened and thus a user can climb in or slip into the coverall 2. The front 5 of the coveralls 2 can then be closed, for example, with a zipper, a Velcro fastener or the like after tightening.

The belt assembly 3 in turn comprises several later described in more detail straps, with which it is possible to take a safe load-bearing function of the or the eyelets 4 on the straps of the belt assembly 3 by a user, not shown. In this case, several of the straps on the rear side 6, the left and right connecting sides 7a, 7b and the front 5 of the coverall 2 are arranged to extend. Thus, those straps are preferably connected to the coverall 2 fixed, which are arranged in the region of the rear side 6 and the connecting sides 7a, 7b.

It should be noted here that the special arrangement of the straps on coverall 2 is selected only as an example and also other possible arrangements and longitudinal courses are possible, as the arrangements shown here.

The belt arrangement 3 provided on the coverall 2 comprises, in the area of the front side 5 of the coverall 2, in the circumferential direction, in each case a separate left and right attachment eyelet 4a, 4b. These are arranged with respect to a central dividing line 9 of the coveralls 2 adjacent to this, whereby the entry into the coverall 2 and arranged thereon belt assembly 3 is substantially simplified. The two collecting lugs 4a, 4b serve to be hooked together on a securing element, not shown, on a carabiner or the like. This serves to secure the person who uses the safety suit 1 so as to be protected against falling during work and / or rescue operations.

These two collecting lugs 4a, 4b each form central attachment points with which the straps of the belt arrangement 3 described below are connected or can be connected.

The belt assembly 3 comprises in the present embodiment, an upper cross belt 10, which is arranged to extend on the rear side 6 in the back region and further below of the underarm area towards the front 5 extends. In this case, the upper transverse belt 10 is fixedly connected to the back cover 6 with the coverall 2 and extends in each case over the two connecting sides 7a, 7b continuously up to the left and right receiving eye 4a, 4b. Strap ends 11a, 11b are then connected to the left and right attachment eyelets 4a, 4b, respectively. Thus, the upper transverse belt 10 is circumferentially arranged around the coverall 2, ie in the transverse direction to its longitudinal extent.

The belt assembly 3 further comprises a central transverse belt 12, which is arranged to extend on the rear side 6 in the pelvic region. Also, this middle transverse belt 12 is fixed to the rear 6 with the coverall 2 connected. Furthermore, the middle transverse belt 12 extends, starting from the rear side 6 via the left and right connection side 7a, 7b continuously through to the left and right collection eyelet 4a, 4b, again belt ends 13a, 13b respectively with the left and right collection eyelet 4a, 4b are connected.

In the thigh area of the legs, the belt arrangement 3 has in each case a left and a right lower transverse belt 14a, 14b. The two lower cross straps 14a, 14b are formed circumferentially over the respective thigh area and can be changed in their circumferential extent by unspecified adjusting devices in their circumferential length. Thus, an individual adaptation to the respective user, in particular the thigh dimension, can be performed easily.

Furthermore, the belt arrangement 3 comprises a left and a right longitudinally extending front leg strap 15a, 15b. In this case, the left front leg strap 15a is connected to the left lower transverse strap 14a and extends, starting from the left lower transverse strap 14a, continuously up to the left attachment eyelet 4a. Its strap end 16a is connected to the left attachment eyelet 4a. The right front leg strap 15b is in turn connected to the right lower transverse strap 14b and extends, starting from the right lower transverse strap 14b, continuously up to the right collection eyelet 4b and is connected with its other strap end 16b to the right eyelet 4b.

How better of the Fig. 2 can be seen, the belt assembly 3 also includes a left and a right longitudinally extending in each case rear leg strap 17a, 17b. In this case, a first belt end 18a of the left rear leg strap 17a with the lower left Cross belt 14a connected. Its second strap end 18b is connected to the middle transverse strap 12. Equivalently, a first strap end 19a of the right rear leg strap 17b is connected to the right lower strap strap 14b and its second strap end 19b is connected to the middle transverse strap 12.

The connection of the strap ends 18a, 18b and 19a, 19b of the rear leg straps 17a, 17b with the middle transverse strap 12 and the lower transverse straps 14a, 14b can each take place to form a sewn loop on the rear leg straps 17a, 17b. Through these loops formed then the middle transverse belt 12 and respectively the two lower cross straps 14 a, 14 b are passed. Furthermore, it is advantageous if the left and right rear leg straps 17a, 17b are fixedly connected to the coverall 2 at the rear side 6 thereof. By providing the two rear leg straps 17a, 17b, the supporting bearing surface in the seat holder of the user in the safety suit 1 can also be increased in his thigh area. This can be achieved in the hanging position of the user in safety suit 1 a better and more comfortable seating position. Thus, even a large portion of the thighs can be sufficiently supported, since by lifting the legs by the interaction of the two front leg straps 15a, 15b with the two lower cross straps 14a, 14b and this section of the thighs additionally by the two rear leg straps 17a, 17b is supported. Thus, a constriction of the thighs of the user in the region of the two lower transverse straps 14a, 14b can be reduced or even avoided.

Furthermore, it would also be possible regardless of the connection between the two strap ends 18b and 19b of the two leg straps 17a, 17b with the central transverse strap 12 fixed or fixed, as for example by simple stacking and subsequent sewing, gluing or the like can be done. In the region of the other belt ends 18a, 19a, which are provided for connection to the lower cross straps 14a, 14b, loop arrangements can be provided so as to always change the circumferential length of the lower transverse straps 14a, 14b a fixed positioning of the two leg straps 17a, 17b at the back of the safety suit 1 relative to this. Thus, a simple adaptation of the lower cross straps 14a, 14b to different thigh dimensions of users done.

In order to obtain a further supporting function of the belt arrangement 3 on the coverall 2, the belt arrangement 3 comprises a left shoulder belt 20a and a right shoulder belt 20b. A first strap end 21a of the left shoulder strap 20a is connected to the left attachment eyelet 4a and extends from this on the front 5 of the coverall to the left shoulder area and beyond it, crossing in the area of the rear 6 to the central transverse strap 12 in the area the right connecting side 7b and further to the right lower transverse belt 14b. Its second belt end 21b is connected to the right lower transverse belt 14b. Analog or mirror image of the right shoulder strap 20b is arranged on overalls 2. A first strap end 22a of the right shoulder strap 20b is connected to the right-hand attachment eyelet 4b and extends at the front towards the right shoulder region and crossing over in the region of the rear side 6 to the middle transverse strap 12 in the region of the left connection side 7a. Furthermore, the right shoulder strap 20b further extends to the left, lower transverse strap 14a and is connected with its second strap end 22b to the left lower transverse strap 14a. This connection of the two strap ends 22a, 22b with the left and right lower transverse straps 14a, 14b can again take place to form a receiving loop, as has already been described above.

The two shoulder straps 20a, 20b are arranged approximately at the height of the underarm area within the channels 24 and extend within these over the shoulder areas away to the level of the shoulder blade area and exit there from the channels in the region of the rear side 6. Subsequently, the crossing of the two shoulder straps 20a, 20b takes place. The fixed connection of the two shoulder straps 20a, 20b on the rear side 6 with the overalls 2 preferably takes place from the upper transverse belt 10 to the lower transverse straps 14a, 14b.

Furthermore, the belt assembly 3 in the region of the left and right connecting sides 7a, 7b both a left and a right longitudinal belt 23a, 23b include, as also best from the Fig. 2 can be seen. In the present exemplary embodiment, the two longitudinal straps 23a, 23b each extend continuously between the upper transverse strap 10, over the middle transverse strap 12 and further toward the left or right lower transverse strap 14a, 14b. In this case, both the left and the right longitudinal belt 23a, 23b are each connected both to the coverall 2 and to the upper transverse belt 10, the middle transverse belt 12 and to the left and right lower transverse belts 14a, 14b. In the region of the left and right connecting side 7a, 7b, the two longitudinal straps 23a and 23b are directly next to each other or in an at least slight overlap with the right or left shoulder strap 20a, 20b arranged on coveralls 2. There may also be a mutual connection with both the coverall 2 and the shoulder straps 20a, 20b.

The belt assembly 3 described above is arranged on the coverall 2 as well as fixedly connected thereto at the designated locations. Under fixed is understood here a fixed arrangement, which can preferably be done by sewing, gluing or welding.

In order to find work to be performed and simultaneous use of the safety suit 1, in particular in the area of the front 5, no far from the coverall 2 protruding straps, which may be disturbing in the performance of work, it is provided here that in the area of the front 5 of the coverall 2 arranged straps, in particular the upper transverse strap 10, the middle transverse strap 12, the front leg straps 15a, 15b and the two shoulder straps 20a, 20b of the belt assembly 3 in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the straps to a predominant length each within their own formed on the overall 2 channel 24 are arranged extending. In this case, each of the differently arranged channels is provided with the same reference numeral 24 for the sake of simplicity, since they can be formed identical to each other except for the arrangement on coverall 2 to each other. It is essential that the individual different straps are guided in the front 5 at least over a predominant length each in their own channels 24 and thus a projection from the outer surface 8 of the coverall 2 is prevented during the labor input. Thus, the left and right collecting lugs 4a, 4b arranged in the region of the front side 5 are also arranged close to the body during use.

The channels 24 serve to receive the individual straps 10, 12, 15a, 15b, 20a, 20b and are designed so that they are each open in the region of their in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the straps distanced channel ends 25, 26, like this in the Fig. 1 in the left area at the middle transverse belt 12 is registered. Thus, the respectively received within the channels 24 belts 10, 12, 15a, 15b, 20a, 20b at least in the direction of their longitudinal extent relative to the coverall 2 to adjustable. This means, that the belts received in the channels 24 can be displaced relative to the coveralls 2 relative thereto. The material of the coverall 2 is preferably formed of a firmer fabric or fabric, which forms the outer surface 8 of the coveralls 2. The channels 24 are arranged or formed in the present embodiment on the surface 8 of the material of the coveralls 2, wherein this is done in each case by also in the longitudinal extent of the individual straps extending Kanalabdeckelemente 27. The Kanalabdeckelemente 27 are strip-shaped and arranged on the outer surface 8 of the coveralls 2. Thus, each of the channels 24 is formed by a surface portion 28 of the coveralls 2 and the surface section 28 facing the inside of each Kanalabdeckelementes 27. By or these channels 24 is or are the individual belts previously described passed or absorbed by these.

The strip-shaped Kanalabdeckelement 27 is connected in the direction of the longitudinal extent of at least a first longitudinal edge region 29 via a first connecting device 30 with the coverall 2, as best of the Fig. 3 can be seen. In this case, the connection or the connection device 30 is designed in such a way that the first connection device 30 is released in the case of a predetermined force acting on the channel cover element 27, as recorded by the channel 24. The force applied thereby acts approximately in a vertical direction with respect to the surface 8 of the coverall 2. This force is created as soon as the user of the safety suit 1 not only introduces the approximately static force during his work on the straps, but an increased force by a Fall or slip into the straps of safety suit 1 caused. The opening movement of the first connecting device 30 is indicated by a further arrow. In the present embodiment, the first connecting device 30 is formed by a Velcro fastener with Velcro and mushroom tape. On the representation of the connection of Velcro and mushroom tape with the coverall 2 and the Kanalabdeckelement has been omitted and can be done in a known manner.

The strip-shaped Kanalabdeckelement 27 is fixedly connected in the direction of its longitudinal extent at its second longitudinal edge region 31 via a second connecting device 32 with the coverall 2, in particular sewn, glued or welded. In the present embodiment, a seam connection is indicated in a simplified manner.

With this design, it is possible to displace the straps received in the channels 24 in the longitudinal direction relative to the channels 24 therein relative to the coveralls 2 and, on the other hand, to cause the first connecting device 30 to loosen at a predeterminable force. This has the advantage that, for example, in a crash or slipping of the safety suit 1 person wearing no jerky impact impact on the body of the user, starting from the eyelets 4a, 4b on the straps and overalls 2, is transmitted to the person. Thus, on the one hand by the relative displacement possibility of the straps within the channels 24 and on the other hand by the separation or release of the first connecting device 30 is a predefined energy reduction, so as to dampen the impact force acting on the person. Thus, the person wearing the safety suit 1 is protected in all cases from falling, but the falling into the safety suit 1 absorbed attenuated person, since while the forces are reduced to the person.

In the Fig. 4 a further and possibly independent embodiment of the safety suit 1 is shown, again for the same parts the same reference numerals or component designations as in the preceding Fig. 1 to 3 be used. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the detailed description in the previous ones will be used Fig. 1 to 3 referred or referred.

Unlike the channel formation according to the Fig. 3 is here shown that the channels 24 are each formed by a separate, tubular component 33 and while the or the components 33 are connected to the coverall 2 respectively via third connecting devices 34. It is again possible that the third connecting device 34 is formed such that the tubular member 33 is dissolved in a one of the absorbed therein belt on the component 33, predetermined force, the third connecting device 34 in turn. Thus, the component accommodating the respective belt 33 is detached from the surface 8 of the coverall 2 at least over a majority of its length or longitudinal extension at an acting force beyond the predetermined force, whereby the damping effect for the person described above can again be achieved.

Additionally and independently of this, however, it is also possible that the tubular component 33 itself comprises a fourth connection device 35, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the component 33, in particular continuously over its longitudinal extent. In this case, it is advantageous if the holding force of the third connecting device 34 described above between the component 33 and the coverall 2 is selected to be greater than the holding force of the fourth connecting device 35 of the component 33. This makes it possible to securely hold the component 33 to ensure the surface 8 of the coveralls 2 and to ensure the release of the fourth connection device 35 for achieving the damping effect at a corresponding, occurring fall load.

However, it could also still be provided independently that the tubular component 33 itself comprises the fourth connection device 35 and is connected to the overall 2 by means of the third connection device 34. In contrast to the previously described embodiment, the holding force of the third connecting device 34 between the member 33 and the coverall 2 may be selected to be smaller than the holding force of the fourth connecting device 35 of the device 33. Thus, a tubular member 33 is created, which in a fall load through the impact energy introduced by the belt passed through the channel 24 is detached from the coverall 2 in the region of the third connection device 34 as a whole structural unit. Thus, in this case, an additional damping effect in an occurring fall by the release of the third connecting device 34 can be achieved, however, the component 33 remains as a tubular protection for each belt received therein.

The connecting devices 30, 32, 34 and 35 described above can be selected from the group of Velcro fasteners with Velcro and mushroom band, seam connection, push-button arrangement or adhesive seam.

As already described above, it is essential that at least those straps of the belt arrangement, which in the front leg area, the pelvic area, the abdominal area and, if applicable, the chest area, work disturbingly, have to be arranged or accommodated within their own designated channel 24. Of these are preferred the upper transverse belt 10, the middle transverse belt 12, the front leg straps 15a, 15b and the shoulder straps 20a, 20b are concerned.

Furthermore, it is also advantageous if the two lower cross straps 14a, 14b at the end of the coverall 2 in short-legged design also in its own, preferably assigned to these peripheral channels 36 are disposed within this or received therein. This allows a simpler width adjustment of the left and right lower transverse straps 14a, 14b for the user.
