    Background of the invention
    [001] Various occupations place people in precarious positions at relatively dangerous heights, thus creating a need for fall protection or fall arrest devices. Among other things, these devices often include a safety line interconnected between a support structure and a safety harness worn by a person working in close proximity to the support structure.
    [002] Commonly used safety harnesses include a flexible strap that extends over the user's shoulders and a considerable amount of the weight of the safety harness, tools, and other equipment attached to the safety harness, is applied to the user's shoulders. Harnesses that include a tool belt with an adjustment element reduce loads associated with tools attached to the tool belt, but do not help to maintain the weight of the upper portion of the harness or ancillary equipment that can be attached to the dorsal D-ring of the harness. Therefore, some disadvantages of these types of harnesses are that the loads applied to the user's shoulders cause discomfort, which can lead to fatigue; tension in the shoulder straps causes the chest strap and other components above the dorsal D-ring to move up, requiring unnecessary readjustment; and the dorsal D-ring is prone to slipping down the wearer's back and out of a proper fit due to the weight of self-retracting lifelines (SRLs), energy absorbing lanyards, restraint lanyards, and other protective gear. falls.
    [003] For the reasons mentioned above and for other reasons stated below, which will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading and understanding the present specification, there is a need in the art for an improved safety harness with a weight distribution assembly. Brief summary of the invention
    [004] The aforementioned problems associated with prior devices are addressed by the embodiments of the present invention and will be understood by reading and understanding the present specification. The following summary is for example purposes and not by way of limitation. The same is provided merely to assist the reader in understanding some aspects of the invention.
    [005] In one embodiment, a safety harness comprises shoulder straps, a waist strap, and a weight distribution assembly that interconnects the shoulder straps and the waist strap. The weight distribution assembly is configured and arranged to transfer a load from adjacent to the shoulder straps to near the waist strap.
    [006] In one embodiment, the safety harness comprises a back pack assembly, at least one of a waist strap and a hip pad, shoulder straps interconnecting the back pack assembly and at least one of the shoulder strap. waist and hip block, and a support assembly interconnecting the mounting block assembly and at least one of the waist band and hip block. The support assembly is at least semi-rigid and is configured and arranged to transfer most of a load from adjacent to the back block assembly and thus adjacent to the shoulder straps to near at least one of the waistband and the hip block.

    [068] In accordance with common practice, the various features described are not drawn to scale, but are designed to emphasize specific features pertinent to the present invention. Reference characters denote similar elements throughout Figures and text. Detailed description of the invention
    [069] In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part thereof and which are shown by way of illustrations of the specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These exemplary embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it should be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that various mechanical changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description should not be taken as limiting, and the scope of the present invention is defined only by the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
    [070] Embodiments of the present invention generally provide a safety harness with a semi-rigid to rigid weight distribution assembly that includes a support member or support assembly that interconnects the back pack assembly and the waist or belt strap. hip block so that when the waist band is properly tightened and weight is added to the dorsal D-ring of the dorsal block assembly, the weight distribution assembly is loaded in compression and transfers most of the load/weight to the hip block. area of the user's hip or pelvis, which is supported by the user's legs. This reduces the weight applied close to the user's shoulders and reduces the risk of shoulder pain and lower back pain. In addition, this considerably reduces the tension on the headgear shoulder straps, which can affect how the headgear is positioned on the wearer. Examples of materials that can be used for the support element or support assembly are metal, composite materials, plastic, carbon fiber and other suitable materials.
    [071] The vertically loaded weight distribution assembly could take a variety of shapes and could include a single support element, multiple support elements, and pivot point (or points) at various locations to enhance comfort and mobility. The weight distribution assembly can be at least partially integral with the full body harness, e.g. at least partially integral with the back block assembly, at least partially integral with the hip block, or it can be a feature accessory that is connected, via connecting elements adjacent to the back block assembly and the waist band/hip block.
    [072] The weight distribution assembly could be connected to the back pack assembly and the waist band/hip pack via any suitable connecting element such as, but not limited to, thread (stitching), rivets, connectors , pockets, channels, etc. The weight distribution assembly could also be retractable, telescopic or adjustable in length.
    [073] An advantage of the present invention is the increase in comfort for the user wearing the safety harness, due to the redistributed weight of tools, equipment, etc., from the adjacency to the user's shoulders to the waist/hip area. of user. As a result, users are able to work for longer periods of time in greater comfort and use larger or heavier self-retracting lifelines.
    [074] There is currently no commercial example of a full-body safety harness with a vertically loaded column, retention element, support element, support assembly, or other weight transfer element that transfers weight from the adjacency to the a wearer's shoulders to the wearer's hip or pelvis area.
    [075] In one embodiment, a harness 100 includes first and second shoulder straps 102 and 103, a waist strap 106 and a weight distribution assembly 108. Optionally, padding 111 may be used for additional comfort between shoulder straps and the wearer from adjacency to the wearer's collarbone to the dorsal block assembly 110. In general, the weight distribution assembly 108 includes a dorsal block assembly 110 operatively connected to the shoulder straps 102 and 103 , a connector 160 operatively connected to the waist strap 106 and a support assembly 129 interconnecting the back pack assembly 108 and the connector 160.
    [076] Dorsal block sets are commonly used for the interconnection of shoulder straps and a D-ring. Dorsal block sets generally include slots through which the shoulder straps are routed to connect the D-ring to the shoulder straps. shoulder. As shown in Figure 15, the dorsal block assembly 110 includes slots 104a and 105a through which the shoulder strap 102 is routed and includes slots 104b and 105b through which the shoulder strap 103 is routed. The D-ring 113 is positioned between the upper slots 104a and 104b and the lower slots 105a and 105b, and the shoulder straps 102 and 103 are also routed through the D-ring 113. It is recognized that the shoulder straps can be differently through the dorsal block assembly. The salt block assembly 110 includes additional features not known in the art. The Dorsal Block Assembly 110 includes a Connector Assembly 112, which allows the safety equipment to be quickly connected to the D-ring 113 and keeps the portion of the D-ring available for additional safety equipment, rescue and the like. Backpack assembly 110 also includes a receiver portion 114 configured and arranged to receive a portion of bracket assembly 129. Preferably, receiver portion 114 is integral with backpack assembly 110, but it may be a separate component operatively connected to the back surface assembly 110. The receiver portion 114 includes sides 116a and 116b interconnecting a top 115 to a base of the back block assembly 110 below the D-ring 113. Sides 116a and 116b include corresponding aligned openings 117A and 117b through which a fastener 122 extends to pivotally connect the support assembly to the back block assembly 110. The base of the back block assembly 110, the top 115 and sides 116a and 116b form a cavity 118 into which a portion of the support assembly 129 is inserted. It should be recognized that other suitable means for connecting a portion of the support assembly to the back block assembly may also be used.
    [077] The support assembly 129 includes a support element 130 or 130' and an adjustable element 150, which are movable relative to each other, so that the length of the support assembly 129 can be adjusted as desired. Support member 130 is preferably an elongate member that includes a fold 140 adjacent its second lower end 141. Fold 140 allows first upper end 131 to be adjacent to the wearer's shoulder blades, second lower end 141 to be adjacent to the wearer's waist, which allows for a more downward vertical transfer of weight when the wearer is in an upright standing position. Preferably, the bend 140 includes two curves that tilt the support member 130 approximately 45 degrees so as to create an offset of approximately 1.9 centimeters (% inch), which helps to hold the support member 130 in the opposite direction. to the user's back when bending forward. It is recognized that other displacement angles and dimensions may be used. At least one hole may extend longitudinally through the support member 130 so as to reduce its weight. The first end 131 includes an opening 132 extending through its upper and lower surfaces. As shown in Figures 26 and 27, the opening 132 is larger near the top surface than the bottom surface to form a base portion 133. The opening 132 is configured and arranged to receive a button assembly. The button assembly includes a tensioning member 134, a button 135 and a fastening member 139. These are shown in Figures 42 to 48. The button 135 includes a head 136, a shank 137 and an end 138 with a cavity 138 extending longitudinally through a portion of its distal end. The rod 137 extends through a hole in the tensioning element 134, the tensioning element 134 is captured in the opening 132 between the base portion 133 and the head 136 of the button 135, and the fastening element 139 is connected to the end 138 of the button 135 adjacent the lower surface of the first end 131. The end 138 of the button 135 is deformed as a rivet to secure the button 135, and the fastener 139 is a washer. The second end 141 includes an opening 142 extending through its upper and lower surfaces.
    [078] As shown in Figures 18, 19, and 26 to 35, different lengths can be used for the support element. For example, support member 130 can be used for a regular size harness and longer support member 130' can be used for a tall size harness. Figures 31 to 35 show the corresponding elements for the longer support element 130'. Support member 130' is preferably an elongate member that includes a bend 140' adjacent its second lower end 141'. The fold 140' allows the first upper end 131' to be adjacent to the wearer's shoulder blades and the second lower end 141' to be adjacent to the wearer's waist, which allows for a more downward vertical weight transfer. the bend 140, the bend 140' creates an offset to help hold the support member 130' away from the wearer's back when bending forward. At least one hole may extend longitudinally through the support member 130' to reduce its weight. The first end 131' includes an opening 132' that extends across its upper and lower surfaces. As shown in Figures 26 and 27, the opening 132' is larger near the top surface than the bottom surface to form a seat portion 133'. The opening 132' is configured and arranged to receive a button assembly similar to that shown in Figure 17.
    [079] The adjustable element 150 is shown in Figures 36 to 41. The adjustable element 150 is generally cylindrical with a hole 158 configured and arranged to receive the support element 130 or 130'. Adjustable member 150 includes a top 151 along which a plurality of openings 152 are spaced, sides 153 interconnecting top 151 and a back 154 including a slot 154a extending from adjacent a first end 155 to a second end 157. First end 155 includes openings 156a and 156b in its sides. Adjustable element 150 is configured and arranged to slide relative to support element 130 or 130'. Button 135 of support member 130 or 130' is configured and arranged to extend through one of openings 152 to adjust the length of support assembly as desired, and slot 154a allows end 138 of button 135 to slide along along the length when button 135 is pressed. Preferably, the fastening element 139 of the button 135 is positioned external to the adjustable element 150, as shown in Figures 13 and 15. The button 135 has a first position of engagement in which it is forced out of the support element 130 or 130' by the tensioning element 134 and a second release position in which the tensioning element 134 is compressed. In the engaged position, the knob 135 extends through one of the openings 152 and, in the released position, the knob 135 it does not extend through one of the openings 152 and allows the support element 130 or 130' and the adjustable element 150 to slide relative to each other. As shown in Figure 10, fastener 122 extends through openings 117a and 117b in receiver portion 114 and through openings 156a and 156b in adjustable member 150 to pivotally connect the same.
    [080] It should be recognized that other types of suitable adjustment devices could be used. For example, a plurality of corresponding openings can extend along the sides of the adjustable element and the support element, and a fastener such as a quick-release pin can be used to connect them at the desired length. Other ways of producing the adjustable support assembly may include, but are not limited to: an assembly that includes two telescopic tubular elements that utilize a nut and tapered threads on the element to apply external radial pressure on the inner element; two elements where one element includes notches, holes or other suitable receiving geometry and the other element includes a feature that is capable of rotating about an axis perpendicular to the support assembly in a position that will engage the receiving geometry ; a telescopic assembly that uses a rotating cam to apply pressure to the inner element; an assembly incorporating a male threaded portion and a female threaded nut for shortening or lengthening the support member upon rotation of each component; and a telescopic assembly that includes a mounting bolt or other threaded component to apply pressure to the inner member.
    [081] Connector 160 interconnects support member 130 or 130' and waist strap 106. Connector 160 includes a backplate portion 161 having a first end 162 with an opening 163 and a second end 164 with an opening 165. A front plate portion 166 extends between apertures 163 and 165, and forms at least one channel or cavity 167 adjacent an intermediate portion 168 between the front and rear plate portions 166 and 161. The front plate portion 166 includes an opening 169a and a receptacle 170a, which is a countersunk portion around the opening 169a, and the backplate portion 161 includes an opening 169b and a receptacle 170b, which is a countersunk portion around the opening 169b. Sides 171 and 172 extend outward from front and rear portions 166 and 161. Waist strap 106 extends through opening 163, over front plate portion 166, and through opening 165. Sides 171 and 172 they hold the waist strap in position on the connector 106. The connector 160 could also be incorporated into the hip block of the harness either being operatively connected to the hip block or integral with the hip block.
    [082] As shown in Figure 10, a fastener 143 connects the support member 130 or 130' to the connector 160. The fastener 143 includes a head 144, a shank 145 and an end 146 with a longitudinally extending cavity 146a. through a portion of its distal end. Fastener 143 extends through opening 142 in support member and through apertures 169a and 169b in connector 160. Head 144 of fastener 143 is seated in receptacle 170a, and a fastener 147 is seated in receptacle 170b. The same are shown in Figures 49 to 53. End 146 of fastener 143 is deformed like a rivet to secure fastener 143, and fastener 147 is a washer. Channel or cavity 167 allows support member 130 or 130' to pivot relative to fastener 143.
    [083] In operation, the user determines if the support set has the desired length. To adjust its length, the user presses the button 135 to move it to the release position and then slides the support element 130 or 130' and the adjustable element 150 to the desired length. Because the button 135 is forced by the tensioning member 134, the button 135 will extend through the adjacent opening 152 and the user will have to press the button 135 each time to continue adjusting the length. This can be done before or after the user puts on the headgear. After the user puts on the harness, the support assembly pivots around the fastener 122 in a first direction and around the fastener 143 in a second direction for greater mobility and comfort. For example, the support assembly is allowed to rotate, so that the user does not feel resistance from the support assembly when flexing from side to side.
    [084] As shown in Figure 54, a harness 200 includes another embodiment of weight distribution assembly. In this embodiment, the support member 230 is an elongate member operatively connected to the adjacent back block assembly 210 above and below the D-ring 213. An intermediate portion of the support member 230 extends through a receiving channel 214 in the assembly. of dorsal block 210 above D-ring 213, is flexed on either side of D-ring 213, and then the two legs of the ring intersect below D-ring 213 to form a generally triangular shape. The junction of the two legs where they cross and extend in a divergent manner is secured to the dorsal block assembly 210 with a fastener 239. The legs extend downwards and operatively connect to the waist band/ hip block 220, which includes fasteners 263 and 265 for securing the waist band/hip block 220. By interconnecting the dorsal block assembly 210 and the waist band/hip block 220 to the support element 230, the weight is transferred from adjacent to dorsal block assembly 210 to near waist band/hip block 220.
    [085] As shown in Figure 55, a harness 300 includes another modality of weight distribution assembly. In this embodiment, the support element includes a first support element 330a and a second support element 330b interconnecting the dorsal block assembly 310 and the waistband/hip block 320 adjacent to the shoulder straps route between the assembly. back block 310 and waist band/hip block 320. Support elements 330a and 330b may be sewn together or otherwise connected using a variety of fasteners common to back block assembly 310 and waist band /hip block 320. Another option is to include pockets on or inside the hip block into which support elements 330a and 330b are inserted. The back block assembly 310 could be made of injection molded plastic (e.g., nylon 6-6) and act as a housing to support a spring-loaded D-ring 313 (e.g., as described in U.S. patent no. 7,073,627) and help direct the headgear shoulder strap strap through the D-ring opening 313. Another option is that the Back Block Assembly 310 and Support Elements 330a and 330b could be an assembly/component in instead of two separate components connected together. This could also work in another way, in which the support elements 330a and 330b are part of the hip block and are connected to the back block assembly 310. Yet another option is that the back block assembly 310, the hip block and the support element (or elements) may be an assembly/component that is incorporated into the harness.
    [086] As shown in Figure 56, a harness 400 includes another embodiment of the weight distribution assembly. In this embodiment, the support element 430 is generally diamond-shaped and two sides 430a and 430b form an opening between the dorsal block assembly 410 and the waist band/hip block 420 for ventilation and an optional pivot. adjacent to the 420 waist band/hip pad for better mobility. Support element 430 extends under fabric cover adjacent to back block assembly 410 and is mechanically secured to back block assembly 410 adjacent D-ring 413 with a rivet, screw, etc. This can also be achieved by means of sewing or other suitable fasteners.
    [087] As shown in Figure 57, a harness 500 includes another modality of weight distribution set. In this embodiment, the support element 530 is a rod-like element with an optional pivot adjacent to one or both of the dorsal block assembly 510 and the waist band/hip block 520. The top of the support element 530 is connected in a operatively to the back block assembly 510 adjacent to the D-ring 513. The support element 530 may be a single element or may include a first support element with a channel in which a second support element can slidably move, providing thus an adjustable support element, and a suitable locking mechanism can interconnect the first and second support elements at the desired length. For example, the second support member may include a protrusion or a fastening member configured and arranged to extend through any one of a plurality of notches or openings formed in the first support member.
    [088] As shown in Figures 58 to 60, a harness 600 includes another embodiment of the weight distribution assembly. In this embodiment, the support member 630 may be integral with the back pack assembly 610 and be operatively connected to the waist band/hip pack 620. An extension portion 614 extends downwardly from the back pack assembly 620. back block 610 adjacent to D-ring 613. While it is preferred that the extension portion 614 is integral with the back block assembly 610, they may be separate components operatively connected to each other by suitable means well known in the art.
