Definitions

  • the present invention relates to safety harnesses for connecting a user to a rope or other restraint system.
  • the document FR 2 604 097 A1 describes a complete harness, made from flexible bands with high mechanical strength, comprising at its upper part a torso, at its lower part a bib, a ventral attachment zone for the roping of a user, and means opening / closing, in the open position, the lateral expansion of the harness away from a vertical median plane for its installation or removal, and allowing, in the closed position, the maintenance of the harness around the body of the user.
  • the torso harness comprises two shoulder straps that cross in the back and are connected to the front by the ventral attachment zone.
  • the shorts comprise a pair of thigh turns disposed respectively on either side of the vertical median plane.
  • the opening / closing means are arranged in the ventral attachment zone, to be easily accessible by the user for donning or removing the harness.
  • the ventral attachment zone comprises both the opening / closing means, and a fastening means for connecting the harness to a rope or other restraint system.
  • the ventral attachment zone generally comprises, as attachment means, a catching loop in which the user can pass a carabiner with annular body and closure finger possibly secured by a ring. The user can permanently open the closing finger to detach the harness vis-à-vis the rope or other restraint system, and it can permanently open the means of opening / closing the harness.
  • the known harnesses are quite suitable for use by an experienced user, who can easily put on or remove the harness by operating the opening / closing means, but is aware enough not to risk causing an inadvertent opening of the carabiner attachment or opening / closing means of the harness, opening then removing the user's hold and no longer ensuring its safety against falls.
  • adventure courses are equipped with one or more life lines comprising a continuous wire link connected to successive fixed points by flat spacers.
  • the harnesses are connected to the wire link by a lanyard and carabiners.
  • the idea underlying the invention is to give the harness additional properties so that it, at the same time, retains a great facility to put on or remove, and ensures better safety by avoiding inadvertent openings or detachments of the harness.
  • a problem proposed by the present invention is therefore to design a new harness structure which is very easy to put on or take off, and which simultaneously prevents the user from opening the opening / closing means when these have been closed.
  • a second problem proposed by the present invention is to design such a new harness structure that prevents the user from separating the harness vis-à-vis the security carabiner engaged around the lifeline.
  • the opening / closing means of the harness are placed in the back position, these means are difficult to access by the user wearing the harness. This reduces the opportunity for the user to break away from the lifeline. This is all the more effective if it is anticipated that the back closure requires some maneuvering force, or some agility of the fingers of the user.
  • each strap develops from the ventral attachment zone to 'to one of the thighs of the shorts.
  • ventral attachment zone is connected to each thigh of the legwarmer by a respective ventral binding strap.
  • each ventral binding strap may be formed by the extension of one of the straps, said straps intersecting in the ventral attachment zone.
  • the back closure comprises security locking means prohibiting any opening maneuver by a hand of the user.
  • the invention provides for preventing any maneuver detachment of the harness vis-à-vis the security carabiner engaged on the continuous wire link of the lifeline.
  • this can be done by providing to hang the harness to the lanyard by a carabiner provided with locking means inaccessible to the user.
  • this can be done by providing that the attachment means comprises a lanyard, one end of which is secured to the ventral attachment zone, and the other end of which comprises a fastening loop to the carabiner of security.
  • a lifeline comprising a continuous wired link connected to successive fixed points by flat struts, and at least one safety harness as defined above, connected to the wired link.
  • a safety carabiner continuous by a safety carabiner and by a lanyard having two ends respectively secured to the safety carabiner and the harness, the safety carabiner having an annular body provided with a slot allowing the passage of flat spacers but whose size is smaller than that link continuous wired and lanyard loop to prohibit the user any possibility of disengaging the safety harness vis-à-vis the continuous wired link.
  • the lifeline can advantageously be associated with at least one dorsal closure unlocking tool, said tool comprising at least one lug adapted to penetrate into an unlocking hole of said back closure to ensure its unlocking.
  • the safety harness 1 comprises, at its upper part, a torso 2, and at its lower part, a shorts 3.
  • the shorts 3 comprises a right thigh 4 and a left thigh 5, respectively disposed on either side of a vertical median plane I-I.
  • the two leg loops 4 and 5 are connected to each other by a transverse link 6 which limits the spacing, but that can however be removed.
  • the torso harness 2 comprises a right shoulder strap 7 and a left shoulder strap 8.
  • the respective dorsal portions 7a and 8a of the shoulder straps 7 and 8 are disposed entirely on either side of the vertical median plane II and are connected to each other.
  • the back closure 9 is disposed in the vicinity of the middle of the dorsal portion 7a or 8a of the shoulder straps 7 and 8, to make it the least accessible possible by the user equipped with the safety harness 1.
  • ventral attachment zone 10 provided with attachment means 11.
  • the attachment means 11 is a simple loop.
  • Each strap 7 and 8 extends upwardly from the ventral attachment zone 10 and back down to the respective leg turn on the same side of the vertical median plane I-I.
  • the right shoulder strap 7 forms a loop between the ventral attachment zone 10 and the right leg loop 4.
  • the left shoulder 8 forms a loop between the ventral attachment zone 10 and the lap of left thigh 5.
  • ventral attachment zone 10 is further connected to each of the thighs 4 and 5 of the shorts 3 by a respective ventral connection strap 8c and 7c.
  • each ventral connecting strap 7c and 8c is formed by the extension of a corresponding strap 7 and 8, said straps 7 and 8 intersecting in the ventral attachment zone 10 to which they are secured.
  • the straps 7 and 8 comprise length adjustment loops 12 and 13 disposed in their dorsal portions 7a and 8a so as to be inaccessible to the user wearing the harness.
  • leg loops 4 and 5 have respective length adjustment loops 14 and 15, to adapt the size of the leg loops 4 and 5 to the morphology of the user.
  • FIG. 3 illustrating the harness equipping a user 100.
  • the set is seen from the front.
  • the dorsal portion of the torso with the dorsal straps 7a and 8a is distinguished by a dashed line, and with the dorsal closure 9 located approximately at the height of the armpits of the user 100.
  • the safety harness 1 is made from flexible bands with high mechanical strength, for example a braid of synthetic materials based on polyamide having a width of a few centimeters.
  • the connection between the straps 7 and 8 and the leg loops 4 and 5 is provided by respective seams 16 and 17 ( figure 2 ).
  • the connection between the two straps themselves 7 and 8 with the attachment means 11 in the ventral attachment zone 10 is performed by seams 18.
  • closure body 9a and a removable loop 9b each provided with a respective slot 9c or 9d for the passage of a closure strap 9th or 9th ( figures 1 and 2 ) secured by seams 19 or 20 to the respective dorsal part 7a or 8a of the straps 7 or 8.
  • the closure body 9a is in two parts, namely a base 9g and a lid 9h, secured to one another by rivets 9i.
  • the closure body 9a has a longitudinal passage 9j for engaging a lug 9k with shoulders 9l1 and 9l2 of the removable loop 9b.
  • the closure body 9a further comprises a transverse passage 9m in which slide two lateral latches 9n and 9o biased outwardly by respective springs 9p and 9q fixed on the closure body 9a.
  • the latch 9n has an outer end 9n1, which can protrude from the closure body 9a, and an inner end 9n2 which remains engaged inside the closure body 9a.
  • Each of the two ends comprises a shoulder, the general structure of the latch 9n thus being U-shaped.
  • the spring 9p of coil-type compression spring, bears against the shoulder of the outer end. 9n1 to push the latch 9n outwards, that is to say upwards on the figure 6 .
  • the inner end 9n2 is on the other side of the longitudinal passage 9j, to engage in the shoulder 9l2 of the pin 9 to ensure the locking of the removable loop 9b.
  • the latch 9o has a similar structure, with an outer end 9o1 and an inner end 9o2, with a U-shape, the spring 9q engaging against a shoulder of the outer end 9o1 to push the latch 9o outwardly .
  • the inner end 9o2 is on the other side of the longitudinal passage 9j and is engaged against the shoulder 9l1 of the lug 9k to lock the removable loop 9b.
  • the closure body 9a is further surrounded by a protective ring 9r, covering both ends of the transverse passage 9m, and having, in the vicinity of each of the ends of the transverse passage 9m, an unlocking hole 9s of small diameter, small enough to prohibit the passage of a user's finger, the diameter preferably being about 3 mm.
  • the opening of the back closure 9 is not possible with a simple manual action by the fingers of the user.
  • This opening requires having a double unlocking tool 21, illustrated on the figure 8 , formed of a flexible link 21a connecting two pins 21b and 21c able to be engaged in the corresponding unlocking holes 9s provided in the protective ring 9r of the closure body 9a to solicit the locks 9n and 9o to the gap of the pin 9k of the removable loop 9b.
  • the lifeline comprises a continuous wire link 22 connected to successive fixed points such as the fixed point 23, by flat spacers such as the spacer 24, the spacer having a thickness E significantly less than the diameter of the continuous wired link 22 .
  • the continuous wire link 22 receives safety carabiners such as the safety carabiner 25.
  • a safety carabiner 25 comprises an annular body 25a provided with a slot 25b.
  • the size of the annular body 25a is chosen sufficient so that its interior space is traversed with clearance by the continuous wire link 22 on which it is slidably engaged.
  • the dimension of the slot 25b is chosen to be large enough to allow the passage of a spacer 24 according to its thickness E, and sufficiently small to prevent the passage of the continuous wire link 22.
