Definitions

  • the invention relates to a harness comprising a connector configured to allow the attachment of an external element.
  • the harness In the field of climbing, mountaineering, ski touring, or to perform work at height, the harness is an essential element which ensures the safety of the user by connecting it to a point of 'mooring.
  • This mooring point can be a return point or a fixed point.
  • the harness has different shapes. It is possible to find seat harnesses or harnesses that also have shoulder straps.
  • the harness can also have a single attachment point or, on the contrary, several attachment points.
  • Climbing harnesses generally have a textile ring that connects the belt with the thigh loops. This textile ring serves as a connection point for the tools, that is to say the elements which are necessary for the practice of climbing for example. It is also known to fasten the leg loops to the belt by means of a strap and to form a strap loop on the belt of the harness. In these two configurations, a tool such as a connector metal is mounted in the textile loop in order to be able to use, for example a lanyard, a blocker or a descender.

  • the suspension point also includes a closed connector 7 provided with a rod 8.
  • the connector 7 is advantageously a metal connector.
  • the connector 7 is intended to secure various tools 9, 9 'and 9 "with the harness. In the embodiment illustrated in figures 1 and 2 , the different tools are separated so as not to come into contact.

  • the first and second rings 5a and 5b are configured so that the connector 7 can move in rotation relative to the belt 2.

In this way, it is possible to wear the harness 1, open the belt 2 and adjust the circumference of the belt 2 without manipulating the connector 7. It is also possible to remove the connector 7 without changing the adjustment of the belt 2 and without opening the harness 1. If the rings 5a and 5b close the harness, for example by means of a hemispherical connector, the two rings 5a and 5b are subjected to forces which prevent the opening of the harness and which deform rings. The rotation of the connector 7 is more difficult or even impossible under certain conditions.
