More Information
Summary:A harness for supporting a person working at height, comprising a back (12), leg loops (10), two forward connection arrangements (30) and a flexible load-bearing member (32) that extends between the connection arrangements, which flexible load-bearing member carries a sliding attachment device (34) which attaches to a climbing line. The forward connection arrangements serve to transferring load from the back and the leg loops to the load-bearing member. Each forward connection arrangement comprises: a. a body (50) that has apertures through (54', 54") which a leg riser webbing of the harness pass to connect the body to the back and the leg loops of the harness, and b. a bridge passage (52) through which the flexible load-bearing member (32) passes. At least one forward connection arrangement (30) further includes a rope adjuster that includes a cam (68', 68") in the bridge passage (52). The cam is pivoted on an axle (64) carried on the body. The cam (68', 68") is disposed to cooperate with a locking surface (70) of the body within the bridge passage to effect locking of a rope.
