Background Technology

[0002] Harnesses come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and configurations. They can be used for positioning, suspension, and fall protection. Harnesses are used in activities such as rock climbing, rappelling, zip-lining, bungee jumping, and hunting or wildlife observation. During hunting (or wildlife observation), hunters can use harnesses to suspend themselves from trees or other supporting structures.

[0003] Seat belts can be assembled from multiple components. These components may include a lap belt (sometimes called a "swami") and leg loops. The lap belt is a band or loop that wraps around the waist of the person wearing the seat belt. The leg loops are attached to the lap belt and receive the thighs of the person wearing the seat belt.

[0004] In many cases, these seat belts are typically used in remote and hard-to-reach locations. Therefore, the seat belts must be packaged and transported. In such situations, lightweight and compact seat belts are crucial for packaging and transportation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0028] This invention discloses an example of a seat belt that is not only strong and durable, but also compact and lightweight. The example seat belt includes a lap belt, first and second leg loops, and first and second tie-up lifters. Each lifter extends from a corresponding leg loop, connects to the lap belt, and provides tie-up point holes for the protective components.

[0029] Each tie-on lifting member includes first and second lines joined together. The leg loop has a first end region and a second end region. A first portion of the first line connects to the waist belt, and a second portion of the first line connects to the first end region of the associated leg loop. A portion of the first line between the first and second portions forms a loop to serve as a tie-on point hole for the protective member. The second line connects to the second end region of the associated leg loop and passes through the portion of the first line that forms the tie-on point hole for the protective member.

[0030] In some embodiments, the first line is fixedly or permanently attached to the belt. The terms "fixedly" or "permanently" mean that the two parts are joined together and cannot be separated without damaging the connection, and cannot be easily reattached without the use of additional glue, fasteners, adhesives, or components. For example, in some embodiments, the first line may have radiating ends that are caught or clipped between the various parts of the belt. In some embodiments, the first line is releasably attached to the belt. For example, the first line is attached to the belt via a quick-release buckle or the like.

[0031] In some embodiments, a first line is fixedly or permanently connected to a first end region of the associated leg ring. In some embodiments, the first line has radiating ends that are captured or clamped between portions of the associated leg ring. In other embodiments, the first line is releasably connected to the first end region of the associated leg ring. In some embodiments, a second line is fixedly connected to a second end region of the associated leg ring. In some embodiments, the second line is releasably connected to the second end region of the associated leg ring. For example, in some embodiments, the second line is releasably connected to the second end region of the associated leg ring via a quick-release buckle or a side-release buckle. In some embodiments, the second line forms a loop through which a larger head buckle passes and is held within the loop under tension, the loop being releasably connected to the second end region of the associated leg ring.

[0032] In some embodiments, the first line forms a connecting loop for connection to a first end region of the associated leg ring. For example, in some embodiments, the first line forms a connecting loop that wraps around the bar of the buckle. In such embodiments, the tail is secured to the interior of the second line to form the connecting loop. In some embodiments, the buckle may be a quick-release buckle or a side-release buckle. In some embodiments, the connecting loop extends around the bar of the buckle, and the buckle is sized to allow it to pass through another connecting loop disposed on a second end region of the associated leg ring. In other embodiments, the first line forms a loop to receive a larger head or a larger buckle that is oriented in a specific direction and held within the connecting loop under tension.

[0033] In some embodiments, the first line has a tail that is secured to another portion of the first line to form a connecting loop. In some embodiments, the second line has an interior, wherein the tail extends into the interior and is secured to the second line to form a connecting loop. In some embodiments, the first line passes through and is located within the second line, wherein the tail is secured to the exterior of the second line to form a connecting loop. In some embodiments, the second line passes through and is located within the first portion along the length of the connecting loop, the connecting loop being connected to a first end region of the associated leg ring.

[0034] In some embodiments, a portion of the first line forms an interior that receives both another portion of the first line and a portion of the second line. In some embodiments, a portion of the first line receives a first portion of the second line and another portion of the first line, wherein the first portion of the second line has an interior that receives a second portion of the second line and another portion of the first line.

[0035] For the purposes of this disclosure, the term "thread" refers to a flexible, elongated length made of one or more materials, such as cellulose-based, organic, or polymer-based materials. A thread can be in the form of a rope or cord. A thread can be in the form of a strap or band. At least one of a pair of threads forming an example tie-up support has at least a portion that is tubular (may have a circular or non-circular cross-section) or has a hollow interior, wherein access to the hollow interior is possible through at least one side inlet or side opening through the outer wall of the tube (compared to an axial end opening). In some embodiments, at least one of the two threads may comprise a plurality of intertwined fibers. In some embodiments, at least one of the two threads may be braided. In other embodiments, one or both of the two threads may not be fibers, may not be braided, or may have other woven or non-woven structures.

[0036] For the purposes of this disclosure, the term "connection" shall refer to the direct or indirect connection between two components. Such connection may be fixed or movable. Such connection may be achieved by two components, or two components and any other intermediate component integrally formed into a single monolithic body, or by two components or two components and any other intermediate component being interconnected. Such connection may be permanent or releasable.

[0037] For the purposes of this disclosure, the phrase “configured as” indicates the actual state of configuration that fundamentally links the function / purpose to the physical characteristics of the feature preceding the phrase “configured as”.

[0038] For the purposes of this disclosure, the terms “releasable” or “removable” in relation to the attachment or connection of two structures mean that the two structures can be repeatedly connected and disconnected from each other without causing material damage to either of the two structures or their function.

[0039] Figure 1The portions of an example seatbelt 20 are shown, which is compact and lightweight while also being high in strength and durability. The seatbelt 20 includes a lap belt 24 (sometimes referred to as a "swami"), leg loops 26-1 and 26-2 (collectively referred to as leg loops 26), leg loop risers or leg loop lifters 28-1 and 28-2, and tie risers or tie lifters 30-1 and 30-2 (collectively referred to as tie lifters 30). In some embodiments, the seatbelt 20 may also include equipment loops suspended on the lap belt 24 for attaching equipment. In some embodiments, the seatbelt 20 may also include additional main components for wrapping around or encircling the shoulders and / or chest of the person wearing the seatbelt 20.

[0040] The waist belt 24 is configured to support the leg loops 26 around the waist of a person wearing the safety harness 20. The waist belt 24 is also configured to attach to a tether, rope, cable, or other flexible cord, which can suspend the waist belt 24 from the upper support to limit the extent to which the waist belt 24 and the person wearing the safety harness 20 may fall from the upper support. The waist belt 24 includes a strap 34 and a connector 37.

[0041] The belt 34 is wrapped around most of the waist of the person wearing the seatbelt 20. The belt 34 is connected to the tie-up stand 30-1 on the front side and to the leg loop stand 28 on the rear side. The belt 24 has opposing end regions 36, which are interconnected by connectors 37. Although the belt 34 shown in the figure has a wider rear side that tapers towards the front side to gradually narrow towards the end region 36, in other embodiments, the belt 34 may have other contours or shapes.

[0042] Connector 37 connects the end regions 36 of the strip 34. In the illustrated example, connector 37 includes a flexible strap extending between the end regions 36. In the illustrated example, connector 37 releasably connects the end regions 36 to each other. For example, connector 37 may include one or more quick-release buckles or side-release buckles, thereby allowing at least one end of connector 37 to be temporarily disconnected from the end region 36 of strip 34.

[0043] Leg loops 26 extend and suspend from the left and right front sides of the waist belt 24, respectively. Leg loops 26-1 and 26-2 are configured to wrap around the left and right thighs of the person wearing the seatbelt 20, respectively. The leg loops 26 are substantially identical to each other. Each leg loop 26 includes opposing end regions 38 and 40, which are respectively connected to the tie-up lifter 30-1 or the tie-up lifter 30-2. Although each leg loop 26 shown in the figure has a wide central portion that tapers towards its respective end regions 38 and 40, in other embodiments, each leg loop 26 may have other contours or shapes.

[0044] Leg ring lifters 28-1 and 28-2 are respectively connected to and suspend leg rings 26-1 to 26-2 from the rear or back side of the band 34 of the waist belt 24. In some embodiments, lifter 28 is composed of a single line with its central portion attached to the band 34 and its two ends attached to each of leg rings 26-1 and 26-2, respectively. In other embodiments, lifter 28 may be composed of two separate lines extending from the waist belt 24 to the leg rings 26. In some embodiments, leg ring lifter 28 may be omitted.

[0045] The 30 connecting lifting components are similar to each other. Figure 2 This is a partial cross-sectional view of the connecting lifting component 30-1. Figure 2 The diagram schematically shows the end region or end 36 of the belt 24's band 34 and the end regions 38, 40 of the leg loops 26-1. The connecting lifting member 30-1 includes a first line 44 and a second line 48 joined together. For ease of illustration, in... Figure 1 In the diagram, the exposed portions of lines 44 and 48 of the connecting lifting member 30-1 are represented by different corresponding dotted patterns. The portions of lines 44 and 48 of the connecting lifting member 30-1 that are partially co-located with the strip 34 and leg ring 26-1, but located inside the strip 34 and leg ring 25-1, are also represented by a first dotted pattern corresponding to line 44 and a second different dotted pattern corresponding to line 48.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, a portion 46-1 of the first line 44 is connected to the band 34 of the belt 24, and a portion 46-5 of the first line 44 is connected to the first end region 40 of the associated leg loop 26-1. A portion 46-3 between the first portion 46-1 and the second portion 46-5 of the first line 44 forms a loop, serving as a protective attachment point hole 50. A second line 46 is connected to the second end region 38 of the associated leg loop 26-1 and passes through the portion 46-3 of the first line that forms the protective attachment point hole 50.

[0047] In the example shown, in addition to portions 46-1, 46-3, and 46-5, the first line 44 also includes portions 46-2 and 46-4. Portion 46-2 extends between portions 46-1 and 46-3. Portion 46-2 includes side entrances or openings 54 and 56 and an interior 58. Portion 46-4 extends between portions 46-3 and 46-5. Portion 46-4 passes through the interior 58, that is, it enters the interior 58 through side opening 54 and exits the interior 58 through side opening 56.

[0048] In the example shown, the second line 48 includes portions 60-6, 60-7, and 60-8. Portion 60-6 is connected to the end region 38 of the leg ring 26-1. Portion 60-7 passes through the interior 58 of portion 46-2 of line 44. Portion 60-8 extends along the tie-in hole 50 within the interior of portion 46-3. Portion 60-7 extends between portions 60-6 and 60-8. In the example shown, portion 60-7 enters the interior 58 through a side opening 56.

[0049] In the illustrated example, portion 60-7 includes side entrances or openings 64, 66 and an interior 68 located between the side openings 64, 66. In the illustrated example, side openings 64 and 54 are aligned. In the illustrated example, the interior 68 of portion 60-7 is received within the interior 58 of portion 46-2. A portion 46-4 of line 44 enters the interior 68 through side opening 64 and exits the interior 68 through side opening 66, with portion 46-5 extending from portion 46-4.

[0050] In the illustrated example, portion 46-2 is secured to portion 46-4 to suppress relative sliding movement between these portions. Portion 46-2 is further secured to portion 60-7 to suppress relative sliding movement between these portions. Portion 46-4 is secured to portion 60-7 to suppress relative sliding movement between these portions. In the illustrated example, suture 70-1 extends through portions 46-2, 46-4, and 60-7 and secures them to each other to suppress relative sliding movement between these portions. In other embodiments, multiple sutures may be used to individually secure pairs of portions or groups of portions. In other embodiments, these portions may be secured to each other using welding, joints, glue, adhesives, etc.

[0051] In the illustrated example, portion 60-7 is secured to portion 46-4 to prevent relative sliding movement between these portions. In the illustrated example, stitch 70-2 extends through portions 60-7 and 46-4 and prevents relative sliding movement between these portions. In other embodiments, these portions may be secured to each other using welding, bonding, glue, adhesives, etc.

[0052] As described above, portion 46-1 is connected to the band 34, portion 46-5 is connected to the end region 40 of the leg ring 26-1, and portion 60-6 is connected to the end region 38 of the leg ring 26-1. Such connections can be inherently permanent or inherently releasable. Figure 1 and Figure 2In the example shown, the connection is inherently permanent, meaning that disconnecting the connection would damage it and potentially prevent reconnection. As described below, in some embodiments, such permanent connections can be achieved by combining and / or sewing radiating ends (sometimes referred to as horsetails) to portions of the band 34 and / or leg loop 26-1. For example, portion 46-1 may have radiating ends or horsetails integrated into or attached to one or more panels of the band 34. Portion 60-6 may have radiating ends or horsetails integrated into or attached to one or more panels of the end region 38 of the leg loop 26-1. Portion 46-5 may have radiating ends or horsetails integrated into or attached to one or more panels of the end region 40 of the leg loop 26-1. In other embodiments, portions 46-1, 60-6 and / or 46-5 may be permanently secured or connected to the strip 34 and leg loop 26-1 in other ways, for example, portions 46-1, 60-6 and 46-5 may be rolled up or folded and secured to themselves to form a connecting loop that is permanently wound around a rod or ring associated with the end regions 38, 40 of the strip 34 or leg loop 26-1.

[0053] Figure 3 and Figure 4 The portions of an example seat belt 120 are shown. Seat belt 120 is similar to seat belt 20 described above, except that seat belt 120 is specifically shown as additionally including connectors 174-1 and 174-2 (collectively referred to as connector 174). The remaining components of seat belt 120 corresponding to those of seat belt 20 are referred to using similar reference numerals.

[0054] Connector 174 (shown schematically) releasably connects portion 46-5 of wire 44 to end region 40 of leg ring 26. In some embodiments, each connector 174 includes a larger snap, head, or buckle that passes through and is secured within a connecting ring to maintain the connection, particularly under tension. Disconnection can be achieved by reducing tension and readjusting the orientation of the head, snap, or buckle to allow it to be withdrawn from the connecting ring. In some embodiments, portion 46-5 may form a connecting ring in which the buckle, head, or snap is attached to end region 40 of leg ring 26-1. In other embodiments, this relationship can be reversed, where end region 40 of leg ring 26-41 forms a connecting ring, and where the buckle, head, or snap is secured to portion 46-5. In other embodiments, this connection can be achieved using releasable fasteners. Examples of releasable fasteners include, but are not limited to, quick-release buckles or side-release buckles having different connector portions secured to end region 40 and portion 46-5.

[0055] Figures 5-7The portions of an example seat belt 320 are shown. Seat belt 320 is similar to seat belt 120, except that seat belt 320 includes tie-up lifters 330-1 and 330-2, and connectors 374-1 and 374-2. Tie-up lifters 330-1 and 330-2 are similar. Figure 6 This is a partial sectional view of the tie-lift member 330-1. The tie-lift member 330-1 is similar to the tie-lift member 30-1, except that portion 46-1 of line 44 is specifically shown with a radiating end 180, portion 60-6 of line 48 is specifically shown with a radiating end 182, and portion 46-5 of line 44 is specifically shown with a tail 184 forming a connecting ring 186, which constitutes part of the connector 374-1. The remaining components of the tie-lift member 330-1 corresponding to those of the tie-lift member 30-1 are referred to with similar reference numerals and have been described above. Figure 1 and Figure 3 Similarly, for ease of explanation, in Figure 5 In the diagram, the exposed portions of lines 44 and 48 of the connecting lifting member 330-1 are represented by different corresponding dotted patterns. The portions of lines 44 and 48 of the connecting lifting member 330-1 that extend along the same path as the strip 34 and the leg ring 26-1, but are located inside the strip 34 and the leg ring 26, are also represented by a first dotted pattern corresponding to line 44 and a second different dotted pattern corresponding to line 48.

[0056] Each of sections 46-1 and 60-6 includes radiating ends 180 and 182, respectively. Each end 180 and 182 includes a continuous longitudinally extending tension line (in the form of fiber, yarn, thread, etc.) that is compressed or compacted until it reaches the ends 180 and 182, and diffuses or radiates in a fan shape at the ends 180 and 182. These radiating tension lines can be secured in place to the strip 34 or the leg loop 26-1 by sewing, welding, and / or adhesive, thereby extending across and covering a wider area of ​​the strip 34 (with respect to end 180), or extending across and covering a wider area of ​​the end region 38 of the leg loop 26-1 (with respect to end 182). When the leg loop 26 is in a taut state, this tension force spreads or distributes across at least most of the lateral width of the strip forming the waistband 24 and the leg loop 26, rather than being compressed along the width corresponding to the narrower widths of the portions 46-1 and 60-6.

[0057] Tail portion 184 forms one end of portion 46-5. Tail portion 184 re-enters interior 68. In the illustrated example, tail portion 184 enters interior through side opening 66. In other embodiments, tail portion 184 may enter interior 68 from other locations. Tail portion 184 is secured to itself and / or portion 60-7 to form connecting loop 186. In the illustrated example, stitch 70-2 extends through and secures tail portion 184, portion 46-4, and portion 60-7 to each other. In other embodiments, multiple stitches, welding, or adhesives may be used to secure these portions to each other and to tail portion 184 to form connecting loop 186.

[0058] Connector 374-1 is similar to connector 374-2. Connector 374-1 releasably connects the end region 40 of leg loop 26-1 to a portion 46-5 of wire 44. In the illustrated example, connector 374 includes a loop 186 formed by the tail 184 of portion 46-5 of wire 44 and a buckle 190 as shown. Buckle 190 is connected to the end region 40 of leg loop 26-1. Buckle 190 can pass through connecting loop 186 such that loop 186 is caught between the bottom side of buckle 190 and the top side of end region 40.

[0059] Figures 8-10 The connection provided by connector 374-1 is shown in more detail. Figure 8 This is a top view of the buckle at 190 degrees. Figure 9 and Figure 10 The diagram illustrates the attachment of buckle 190 to end region 40 and connection to ring 186. As shown, end region 40 surrounds the rod 191 of buckle 190 (e.g., Figure 8 As shown). Figure 10 As shown, once the buckle 190 passes through the ring 186, the ring can be pulled below the buckle 190 (or pulled above the ring 186) and passed between the fixed fingers 193 to prevent the buckle 190 from accidentally breaking off from the ring 186.

[0060] In other embodiments, the buckle 190 may have other sizes, shapes, and configurations. In still other embodiments, the connector 374-1 may have other configurations. For example, in other embodiments, the connecting ring 186 may extend around the rod 191 of the buckle 190, wherein the end region 40 includes a ring, and the buckle 190 may be in a similar configuration to... Figures 9-10The loop is inserted as shown. In some other embodiments, the loop 186 and buckle 190 can be replaced with another quick-release connector (e.g., a side-release buckle or quick connector). In this embodiment, the connecting loop 186 is connected to a first portion of the side-release buckle, while the end region 40 is connected to another portion of the side-release connector or buckle. In some other embodiments, the connector 374 can have other configurations, or can be replaced with a permanent connection (e.g., as described above with respect to seatbelt 20).

[0061] Figure 11 This is an exploded view of an example of the tie-up support 330-1, showing the side-by-side relationship of threads 44 and 48 before fitting and before the application of suture 70. In one embodiment, thread 44 is made of a braided material (e.g., ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene braid). In one embodiment, the total length of thread 44 is at least 50 cm and no more than 100 cm; in some embodiments, the total length of thread 44 is at least 70 cm and no more than 80 cm. In one embodiment, the length of the tie point I formed by portion 46-3 is the length extending from the beginning of the ring to the apex of the ring, wherein this length is at least 2 cm and no more than 10 cm; in some embodiments, this length is at least 4 cm and no more than 8 cm. In some embodiments, the length of portion 46-2 is at least 2 cm and no more than 10 cm, and in some embodiments, the length of portion 46-2 is at least 4 cm and no more than 8 cm.

[0062] In one example embodiment, line 48 is made of a braided material (e.g., ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene braid). In one example embodiment, the total length of line 48 is at least 30 cm and no more than 60 cm; in some embodiments, the total length of line 48 is at least 40 cm and no more than 50 cm. In some embodiments, portion 60-8 has an embedded length B1 (the length extending through openings 54 and 64 and received within interiors 58 and 68, wherein the embedded length is at least 1 cm and no more than 3 cm). In one example embodiment, the length (rise length) of portion 60-6 is at least 4 cm and no more than 12 cm, and in some embodiments at least 6 cm and no more than 10 cm. Such lengths or dimensions provide lines 44 and 48 with sufficient nesting or splicing for enhanced strength, provide a comfortable rise (vertical distance or spacing between the leg loop and waistband 24), and provide sufficient spacing or distance between the waistband 24 and the tie point hole 50. In other embodiments, lines 44 and / or 48 of the tie-up stand 330-1 may have other lengths or dimensions. In other embodiments, threads 44 and 48 may be made of other materials or have other weaves or structures.

[0063] Figure 12A This is an exploded perspective view of an example tie-up support 330-1', shown in cross-section. Tie-up support 330-1' can replace any of the tie-up supports described above, including tie-up support 330-1 and / or tie-up support 330-2. Tie-up support 330-1' is similar to tie-up support 330-1, except that tail 184 passes through the side opening 94 in portion 46-5 or 46-4 and extends within and along portion 46-4. This configuration enhances the durability and strength of the connector used to form loop 186. In some embodiments, tail 184 may alternatively extend through the side opening 94 in portion 46-5 and terminate within portion 46-5, rather than extending into portion 60-7. In the example shown, suture 70-2 passes through portion 60-7, portion 46-4, and tail 184, securing these portions in place within portion 46-4 to form loop 186.

[0064] Figures 12B-12J The splicing and merging of lines 44 and 48 is shown to form the tie-up stand 330-1'. The method shown in the figure can also be used to form tie-up stands 330-1 and 330-2, except that the tail 184 can instead be inserted and tucked into portion 60-7 of line 48, located outside and beside portion 46-4. For ease of illustration, lines 46 and 48 are shown in different dotted patterns.

[0065] like Figure 12B As shown, the line 48, already secured to the leg ring 26-1, is marked at a position 380 at a distance from its end greater than or equal to the length of portion 46-3. A splicing tool (sometimes called a fine needle or pin) 94 is inserted into the side of the line 44 at a side opening 95 (or the axial end opening of the line 44), passes through the line 44, moves along the line 44, and then exits inside the line 44 at the created side opening 56. The end of the line 48 is releasably secured to the end of the splicing tool 99. In the example shown, the end of the line 48 passes through the ring or opening at the end of the splicing tool 99.

[0066] like Figure 12C As shown, pull or retract tool 99 from line 44 to pull line 48 along the inside of line 44, with the end of line 44 passing through opening 95. Figure 12C As shown, pull the line 48 in the direction indicated by arrow 381 until mark 380 aligns with opening 56. This causes the end of line 48 to terminate inside line 44. In some embodiments, at this point, portions of line 48 may be sewn or otherwise secured to those portions of line 44 that receive line 48.

[0067] like Figure 12EAs shown, the splicing tool 99 passes through the side of line 48 to form an opening 66. The splicing tool further passes through the interior of line 48 and moves along line 48 until it exits line 48 at the formed side opening 64 and the opening 54 in line 44. The end of line 44 is secured to tool 99. Figure 12F As shown, the splicing tool 99 retracts or is pulled out from lines 44 and 48 through the side opening 66 to pull the end of line 44 through openings 54 and 64 and through opening 66 to form a connecting hole 50.

[0068] like Figure 12G As shown, the splicing tool 99 creates and inserts through the formed side opening 97, drills or passes through the interior of portion 46-5, and exits the interior of portion 46-5 at opening 94. The end of line 44 is secured to tool 99. Figure 12H As shown, the splicing tool 99 retracts from and is pulled out of section 46-5 of line 44 so that it is pulled past opening 94, so that section 46-5 extends beyond opening 66 to form loop 186. Figure 12I As shown, the compression sleeve formed by line 48 is pulled in the direction indicated by arrow 383 to extend through the previously formed side opening 97, such that the tail 184 is located inside both portions 46-4 of line 44 and portions 60-7 of line 48. In other embodiments, the side opening 97 may alternatively be positioned so as to be located outside line 48 when line 48 extends and loop 186 is formed.

[0069] like Figure 12J As shown, sutures 70-1 and 70-2 were used. Although in Figures 12B-12J In the method shown, lines 44 and 48 are pre-attached or secured to the waist belt 24 and leg loop 26-1, but in other embodiments, one or both of lines 44 and 48 may be interlocked or merged before being secured to the waist belt 24 (for line 44) or the leg loop 26-1 (for line 48). Figures 12B to 12I The diagram shows stitching patterns formed in the lap belt 24 and leg loops 26-1. In other embodiments, different stitching patterns may be used. In other embodiments, the lap belt 24 and leg loops 26-1 may be formed without using stitching patterns. The above method can also be used to form another tie-up stand for seat belts.

[0070] Figure 13 and Figure 14 Example connection schemes are shown for connecting the end region 36 of the example belt 24 to portion 46-1 of the tie-up lifters 30-1, 330-1 and / or for connecting the end region 38 of the leg loop 26 to portion 60-6 of the tie-up lifters 30-1, 330-1. Figure 13 An example connection scheme for connecting the belt 24 to the tie-up lifting members 330-1 and 330-2 is shown. Figure 13 In the example shown, the belt 24 includes strip panels 400, 402 and 404.

[0071] Panel 400 is sandwiched between panels 402 and 404. Panel 400 has a broad central portion that tapers gradually towards the end region 36. Panel 400 is also sandwiched between different portions 181-1 and 181-2 of the radiating ends 180 of each portion 46-1. Panel 402 has a broad central portion that tapers gradually towards the end region 36. Panel 402 extends above portion 181-1 of portion 46-1. Panel 404 has a broad central portion that tapers gradually towards the end region 36. Panel 404 extends below portion 181-2 of portion 46-1. Panels 400, 402, and 404 are secured to each other, enhancing the strength of the strip 34 used for the waist belt 24.

[0072] Figure 14 for Figure 13 A cross-sectional view of an example on the right side of the belt 24 shown. Figure 14 In the example shown, panel 402 is formed by laminating multiple layers of films 410, 412, and 414 onto each other. Film 410 comprises a laminate formed of an outer layer 416 and an inner layer 418. The outer layer 416 comprises an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene film with a UV-protective coating (to prevent UV damage) and has higher abrasion resistance than the inner layer 418. In one embodiment, the inner layer 416 comprises an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene film in the form of an ultra-lightweight composite textile material, commercially available under the brand name ALUULA. TM Layer 418 comprises a low-density polyethylene film, which has a lower melting point than layer 416 and is softer than layer 416. Layer 418 facilitates bonding with film 412, while layer 416 provides protection or resistance to UV damage or abrasion.

[0073] Membrane 412 comprises a high-density polyethylene film with a melting point higher than that of layer 418. Membrane 412 also includes a UV-protective coating and has enhanced abrasion resistance compared to layer 418. Membrane 414 comprises a thermoplastic polymer configured to facilitate bonding of panel 400 and membrane 412. In the example shown, membrane 414 comprises a polyolefin with a melting point higher than that of layer 418 but lower than that of layer 416.

[0074] Panel 400 is formed of a material configured to facilitate bonding portions 181-1 and 181-2 to panels 402 and 404. In one embodiment, panel 400 comprises a material similar to layer 418. In one embodiment, panel 400 comprises a low-density polyethylene film.

[0075] Panel 404 includes films 420 and 422. Film 420 is similar to film 414. Film 422 is similar to film 410. Film 422 includes layer 424, which is similar to layer 418, and layer 426, which is similar to layer 416.

[0076] Although Figure 13 The connection method of the connecting lifting members 330-1 and 330-2 to the opposite ends 36 of the belt 34 is shown, but Figure 13 The right side and Figure 14 The structure shown also applies to the connection of portion 60-6 of line 48 of each of the connecting lifting members 330-1 and 330-2 to the end region 38 of each of the leg rings 26-1 and 26-2. In this application, the scattering end 182 is divided into two parts (similar to the scattering end 181), as... Figure 14 As shown, a receiving panel 400 is located between these two sections. Figure 14 Similarly, the two portions of the scattering end 182 are also captured by panel 402 on one side and by panel 404 on the other side.

[0077] Figure 15 An exploded perspective view shows example connection schemes for connecting the end region 36 of the example belt 24 to portion 46-1 of the tie-up lifters 30-1, 330-1 and / or for connecting the end region 38 of the leg loop 26 to portion 60-6 of the tie-up lifters 30-1, 330-1. Figure 15 and Figure 16 An example connection scheme for connecting the belt 24 to the tie-up lifting members 330-1 and 330-2 is shown. Figure 15 The connection scheme shown is the same as the one described above. Figure 13 and Figure 14 The connection schemes shown are similar, the difference being that, for example... Figure 16 As shown, the connecting elevators 330-1 and 330-2 share a single line 44, which is spliced ​​with a first line 48 to form connecting elevator 330-1, and with a second line 48 to form connecting elevator 330-2. In this embodiment, a portion 46-1 of each of the connecting elevators 330-1 and 330-2 has or forms a radiating central portion 183 that extends continuously and uninterruptedly between the two connecting elevators 330-1 and 330-2. Figure 15 As shown, the scattering central portion 183 is sandwiched between panel 400 and panel 402 to form the strip 34 of the belt 24.

[0078] Figure 15 The connection scheme shown is also applicable to Figure 17Each connecting lifting member 430-1 for each leg ring is shown. It should also be understood that the connecting lifting member for the other leg ring 26-2 may have the same... Figure 17 The configuration is similar to that of the connecting lifting member 430-1 shown. For example... Figure 17 As shown, the tie-lift member 430-1 is similar to the tie-lift member 330-1, but line 44 omits part 46-5, and line 48 additionally includes parts 60-9 and 60-10. The remaining components in the tie-lift member 430-1 corresponding to the components of the tie-lift member 330-1 are referred to with similar reference numerals.

[0079] Similar to portion 46-4 of line 44 of tie-up member 330-1, portion 46-4 of line 44 of tie-up member 430-1 also extends through and lies within the interior 58 of portion 46-2 and the interior 68 of portion 60-7. In the illustrated example, portion 46-4 extends across and through most of the length of portion 60-7. In other embodiments, portion 46-4 may extend beyond the end of portion 60-7 or may be shorter, terminating within the interior 58 of portion 46-2.

[0080] A portion 60-9 of line 48 extends from portion 60-8 into portion 46-4 and exits portion 46-4 through an axial end opening. Portion 60-9 also exits the interior 68 of portion 60-7 through opening 66. A portion 60-10 extending from portion 60-9 extends from the interior 68 to the exterior. Portion 60-10 includes a scattering region along its length having multiple diffused individual fibers, cords, or the like to form a scattering central portion 483. In the illustrated example, portion 60-6 also has multiple scattering individual fibers or diffused fibers, cords, or the like, identical to the scattering fibers of portion 60-10, to form a scattering central portion 483. In other words, portions 60-6 and 60-10 do not form the end of line 48, but are part of a continuous, uninterrupted line having a specific intermediate portion that unfolds, scatters, or diffuses as shown, forming the scattering central portion 483. This scattering central section 483 is sandwiched between panels 400 and 402, similar to... Figure 15 The central, radiating section 183 is shown. A panel 404 can be added to complete the strip-like structure of the leg ring 26-1. The continuity of the leg ring 26-1 enhances its strength.

[0081] In the example shown, line 48 is formed of a loop of material that is continuous and uninterrupted. In other embodiments, line 48 may have two ends at specific points along its length, which are directly connected to each other and / or connected to line 44. As shown by the dashed lines, in one embodiment, the leg loop 26-1 is not formed of a continuous, uninterrupted structure from continuous line 48, but may instead include a releasable connector 174, as described above with respect to seat belt 120. As mentioned above, connector 174 may include a quick-release connector, a side-release buckle, a loop, and a buckle (as described above with respect to...). Figures 8-10 (as described above), or other releasable connection mechanisms. Figure 17 In the example shown, the end region 46-1 of the tie-up member 430-1 has a radiating end 180. In other embodiments, the tie-up member 430-1 may share the same line 44 with another tie-up member of another leg ring, as described above regarding Figure 16 As shown and described. In this embodiment, the scattering end 180 is... Figure 16 The diffuser-type central portion 183 shown is replaced, wherein the diffuser-type central portion 183 is sandwiched between panels 400 and 402, as described above regarding... Figure 15 The panel 404 may also be provided. Thus, in some embodiments, both the leg ring lifter and the leg ring are partially formed by a loop (one for each leg ring) formed by a pair of continuous lines 48 and a single continuous line 44 shared by the two linked lifters and forming the waistband 24.

[0082] In some embodiments, the line 48 connecting the lifting member 430-1 may omit the scattering central portion 483, wherein portions 60-6 and 60-10 are cut or otherwise terminated at position 485 to form an end resembling a scattering end 182, such that portions 60-6 and 60-10 each have a corresponding scattering end 182. In this embodiment, the scattering ends 182 of portions 60-6 and 60-10 are arranged in a manner similar to... Figure 13 and Figure 14 It is fixed to one or more panels (e.g., panels 400, 402, and 404) in the manner shown to form a specific leg ring 26.

[0083] Although Figure 17The thread 48 is described as being formed by a single loop, but in some embodiments, the thread 48 connecting the lifting member 430-1 may also be formed by a discontinuous thread 48 having two end portions spaced apart from each other or overlapping at a break point 447 or other location. In some embodiments, sutures 70-1 and 70-2 located on opposite sides of the break point 447 may be used to secure each of the two end portions of the discontinuous thread 48 to the thread 44 and / or the remainder of the thread 48. In embodiments where the two end portions overlap across the break point 447, a single suture may pass through both end portions simultaneously to secure each of the two end portions of the thread 48 to each other, and to one or both of the thread 44 (part 46-2) and the remainder of the thread 48 (part 60-7). In other embodiments, Figure 7 The wire 48 may be broken at other locations or may be replaced by more than one wire, which may be secured to each other and / or to the wire 44. In some embodiments, the wire 48 may be broken at portions 60-6 or 60-10, wherein the two ends are permanently connected to each other by glue, bonding means, adhesive, patch, stitch or the like, or the two ends are releasably connected to each other by a releasable connector in the middle (e.g., a quick-release connector, buckle or the like).

[0084] Figures 18-21 Various other examples of linkage lifting members are shown, which can be used to replace the linkage lifting members 30, 130 and 330 described above. Figure 18 The connecting lifting member 530-1 is shown. The connecting lifting member 530-1 is similar to the connecting lifting member 330-1, except that line 48 additionally includes portions 60-9 and 60-10. The remaining components of the connecting lifting member 530-1 corresponding to the components of the connecting lifting member 330-1 are also referred to in similar way.

[0085] A portion 60-9 of line 48 continues from portion 60-8, extending into portion 46-4 and exiting portion 46-4 through an axial end opening. Portion 60-9 also exits the interior 68 of portion 60-7 through opening 66. A portion 60-10 extending from portion 60-9 extends from the interior 68 to the exterior, within and along portion 46-5, and into tail 184. In the illustrated example, portion 60-10 protrudes into the interior through the axial end opening of tail 184. In other embodiments, portion 60-10 may terminate within tail 184. Portion 60-10 reinforces portion 46-5, thereby strengthening the connecting ring 186.

[0086] Figure 19A partial cross-sectional view of an example tie-up lifter 630-1 is shown. Tie-up lifter 630-1 is similar to tie-up lifter 330-1, except that the tail 184 of portion 46-5 is secured to the outside of portion 60-7 to form a connecting loop 186. In the illustrated example, a stitch 70-2 secures the tail 184. In other embodiments, the tail 184 may be secured to portion 60-7 in other ways.

[0087] Figure 20 This is a partial cross-sectional view of an example tie-up lifter 730-1. Tie-up lifter 730-1 is similar to tie-up lifter 330-1, except that portion 60-7 omits side openings 64 and 66, wherein portion 46-4 extends along the exterior of portion 60-7 and is secured to the exterior of portion 60-7. Furthermore, the tail 184 of portion 46-5 is secured to portion 46-4 and / or portion 60-7 to form a connecting loop 186. In the illustrated example, thread 70-2 passes through tail 184, portion 46-4, and portion 60-72, connecting these portions. In the illustrated example, portion 46-3 extends through side opening 54 and exits interior 58 through side opening 56. Portion 46-4 does not pass through any interior of thread 48. Similarly, interior 58 does not receive another interior of thread 48. In this embodiment, thread 48 may be formed of one or more materials that do not have a hollow interior.

[0088] Figure 21 This is a partial sectional view of example tie-up member 830-1. Tie-up member 830-1 is similar to tie-up member 330-1, except that its interior does not receive interior 68 or portion 60-7. Instead, line 48 additionally includes portion 60-11 extending between portions 60-7 and 60-8. Portion 60-11 enters opening 66 and then enters and extends through portion 46-3 to form connection hole 50.

[0089] Although Figures 18-21 Each example tie-lift member shown is illustrated as having portions 46-1 and 60-6 with radiating ends 180 and 182 respectively, but in other embodiments, each such tie-lift member 530-1, 630-1, 730-1, and 830-1 may have the same characteristics as... Figure 16 and / or Figure 17 A similar configuration is shown. Specifically, the scattering end 180 can be integrated with the scattering end of another connecting lifting member to form a scattering central portion 183, as shown. Figure 16 As shown. As described above, in this embodiment, the two connecting support members will share a single common line 44. The radiating central portion 183 can be in a similar manner to... Figure 15 It is fixed to one or more panels as shown, for example, panels 400, 402 and 404 (as shown). Figure 15 (as shown), to form a strip 34 to form a waistband 24.

[0090] In some embodiments, each of the connecting lifting members 530-1, 630-1, 730-1, and 830-1 may be additionally or alternatively modified to omit portion 46-5 of line 44 and alternatively include line 48, which additionally includes portions 60-9 and 60-10, as shown. Figure 17 As shown, to form a shape similar to Figure 17 The leg ring shown is composed of various parts. As described above, in this embodiment, the scattering central portion 483 can be arranged in a manner similar to... Figure 15 The device is fixed to one or more panels (e.g., panels 400, 402, and 404) as shown to form a specific leg ring. In some embodiments, it includes... Figure 17 The connecting lifting members 430-1, 530-1, 630-1, 730-1, and 830-1 of the portions 60-9 and 60-10 shown may omit the scattering central portion 483, wherein portion 60-6 has a scattering end 182, and wherein portion 60-10 also has a scattering end 182, and wherein the scattering ends 182 of portions 60-6 and 60-10 are arranged in a manner similar to... Figure 13 and 14 It is fixed to one or more panels (e.g., panels 400, 402, and 404) in the manner shown to form a specific leg ring 26.

[0091] Although various embodiments have been disclosed, and each embodiment has unique features or constructions, it should be understood that the various features / constructions can be combined in different ways or combinations to form different tethered lifting devices and different safety belts. For example, each of the tethered lifting devices with connecting ring 186 described above can alternatively be configured in a manner similar to that described above. Figure 1 The (wherein portion 46-5 may have a scattering end that is integrated and permanently attached to the first region of the leg ring) or similar to the above regarding Figure 3 and Figure 4 The method described above (where portion 46-5 is connected to the first region of leg ring 26 using a different releasable connection (using connector 174-1)) connects portion 46-5 to the first region of leg ring 26. Similarly, in any such embodiment, the tethered lifting member may alternatively have a similar... Figure 17The configuration shown indicates that the second line 48 is releasably or permanently / securely coupled to the first end region of the leg ring 26. In each of the above example embodiments, the tail 184 can be (1) secured externally to portion 46-5 on the outside of portion 60-7 when forming the ring 186, (2) secured externally to the inside of portion 60-7 on the outside side of portion 46-4 when forming the ring 186, or (3) secured internally to portion 46-5 or portion 46-4, or secured internally to portion 60-7, or externally to portion 60-7. The ring 186 can receive a buckle 190 (as described above regarding...). Figure 7 As shown and described, the rod 191 can be deployed around the buckle 190, which will be received within a ring located at the end of the leg ring, or it can be surrounded and connected to another fastener, such as a quick-release buckle, a side-release buckle, or the like. In each of the above embodiments, the ring 186 can be omitted, wherein the ring 184 is directly connected to or attached to the various parts of the leg ring (as described above regarding...). Figure 2 (as described).

[0092] Each of the above-described example seatbelts uses two interlocking wires to form each of the two tie-up members. Because the two wires are interlocked, with at least one wire passing through the other, the two wires reinforce each other, thereby increasing the durability and strength of the tie-up member without significantly increasing its overall volume or size. Despite these advantages, in some cases, the aforementioned interlocking wires 44 and 48 can alternatively be replaced by three or more wires. For example, Figure 2 The portion 46-4 of the connecting lifting member 330 (or 330-2) shown may be cut off or otherwise shortened in length (ending at breakpoint 47), wherein an additional line or segment (replacing the remaining length of the original portion 46-4 extending to portion 46-5) is spaced apart from portion 46-4 or overlaps with portion 46-4 at position or breakpoint 47, as shown. Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 16 As shown. In an embodiment where the length of the portion 46-4 extending between the breakpoint 47 and the portion 46-5 is replaced with a separate and distinct line, two stitches 70-1 and 70-2 located on opposite sides of the breakpoint 47 secure the respective segments or lines to line 48.
