[0010] In Figure 1 Figure 1 shows an embodiment of a full-body harness 1 for fall protection of a user, comprising a waist belt 2, leg loops 3, shoulder straps 4, a connecting strap 21 linking the shoulder straps 4, a sternal attachment point 5, and a dorsal attachment point 5 (concealed by the shoulder straps 4). In the embodiment shown, the waist belt 2 has a circumferential retaining strap 13 (see also Figure 2). Figure 2), which is partially covered or encompassed by a rail 14. The harness 1 has a guide 6, formed at least partially on the rail 14 and extending along the waist belt 2, for the slidable mounting of a retaining plate 7 via a bearing device 8, to which the Figures 3 and 4b Further details can be found there.

[0011] A retaining plate 7 is slidably mounted on the guide 6 and on the hip belt 2. The retaining plate 7 has connecting means 9 for the detachable connection of a radio remote control 10 (see approximately...). Figures 3 , 4b and 5 ) on. In the embodiment shown, the connecting means 9 are hook-shaped for engaging behind an opening 20 in the radio remote control 10. Alternatively, openings of an adapter plate can be engaged behind it. The retaining plate 7 is connected via a, for example, in the Figures 3 and 4bThe positioning device 8, shown in more detail, is mounted on the hip belt 2 of the harness 1. In particular, the retaining plate 7 can thereby be mounted so as to be slidable along the rail 14.

[0012] As in the Figures 2 and 4a and 4b As shown, the rail 14 is connected at least partially to the retaining strap 13 and can in particular be sewn to it by a seam 15.

[0013] In the execution of the Figure 1 The circumferential retaining strap 13 of the hip belt 2 is connected at one end to a buckle 17 and can be threaded into the buckle 17 at the other end. The length of the hip belt 2 can be adjusted using the buckle 17 to accommodate different user hip circumferences.

[0014] In the embodiment shown, the hip belt 2 of the harness 1 has padding 18, through which an advantageous pressure distribution of loads acting on the harness 1 can be achieved.

[0015] Designs of the bearing device 8 for supporting the retaining plate 7 on the guide 6 are described in the Figures 3 and 4b A more detailed explanation.

[0016] In the top view of a version of a hip belt 2 of a fall arrest harness 1 of the Figure 2 It is evident that the guide 6, formed by the rail 14 which partially covers the retaining strap 13, extends at least between a sternal position on the waist belt 2 and a position remote from the sternal position, and that the retaining plate 7 is displaceable along the rail 14 at least between the sternal position on the waist belt 2 and the position remote from the sternal position. The displacement range of the retaining plate 7 can extend, as shown, from a position in front of the user's body to at least a position laterally on the user's body.

[0017] The circumferential retaining strap 13 of the waist belt 2 can be connected at one end to a fixed part of a buckle 19 and at the other end to an adjustable part of the buckle 19. The length of the waist belt 2 can be adjusted using the adjustable part of the buckle 19 to accommodate different user waist sizes. The waist belt 2 can be closed by connecting the fixed part of the buckle 19 and the adjustable part of the buckle 19.

[0018] Figure 3 shows a detailed view of an arrangement consisting of a harness 1 and a radio remote control 10 that can be arranged on the mounting plate 7 of the harness 1.

[0019] In Figure 3Figure 1 shows a detailed embodiment of a bearing device 8 for supporting the retaining plate 7 on the guide 6. In the embodiment shown, the bearing device 8 has bearing points 11 between the retaining plate 7 and the guide 6, wherein the bearing points 11 shown are designed as plain bearings. Designing the bearing points as rolling bearings is also conceivable.

[0020] The retaining plate 7 has the following features in its design: Figure 3 Fastening means 16 in the form of hook-shaped projections which can engage behind the guide 6, at least in sections. In the embodiment shown, the bearing points 11 are partially formed on the fastening means 16 and can interact with corresponding areas of the guide 6 (see approximately [reference]). Figure 4b ).

[0021] Furthermore, the execution of the in Figure 3The bearing device 8 shown includes a releasable locking device 12 for releasably locking at least one displacement position of the retaining plate 7 relative to the guide 6. In this embodiment, the locking device 12 can be designed at least as a recess in the guide 6 forming a positive fit, into which a corresponding projection of the retaining plate 7 can releasably engage. It is not excluded that several recesses are arranged along the guide 6. An alternative or combined embodiment of the locking device 12 can be achieved by frictional engagement, as shown, for example, in Figure 4b shown.

[0022] The mounting plate 7 can be positively connected to a radio remote control 10 using the connecting means 9, for example by engaging corresponding openings 20 in a housing of the radio remote control 10. Alternatively, a positive connection can be made using an adapter plate 22 for a radio remote control 10.

[0023] In Figure 4a A front view shows a version of a hip belt 2 according to the Figure 2 depicted. Figure 4b shows a sectional view of a detailed view of an arrangement consisting of a harness 1 and a radio remote control 10 that can be arranged on the mounting plate 7 of the harness 1. Figure 4b shows in detail a sectional view running through the retaining plate 7 along the section line A of the Figure 4a together with a partially shown cross-sectional view by a radio remote control 10.

[0024] The hip belt 2 has a circumferential retaining strap 13, which is partially covered by a rail 14. For optimized pressure distribution, the hip belt 2 has internal padding 18. The guide 6 for the sliding mounting of the retaining plate 7 is formed on the rail 14. The rail 14 can be connected to the retaining strap 13, at least partially, and in particular, as shown, sewn to the retaining strap 13 by a seam 15.

[0025] The retaining plate 7 is slidably mounted along the rail 14, which forms the guide 6, via a bearing device 8. In the embodiment shown, the guide 6 can be formed by sections of a flexible rail 14, as shown in Figure 4b shown section by section of the fastening means 16 of the retaining plate 7 is engaged from behind.

[0026] The bearing device 8 has bearing points 11 designed as sliding bearings between the retaining plate 7, in particular between fastening means 16 of the retaining plate 7, and the guide 6.

[0027] In the execution of the Figure 4b The bearing device 8 has a locking device 12 in the form of a frictional connection between the fastening means 16 of the retaining plate 7 and the section of the rail 14 forming the guide 6.

[0028] The retaining plate 7 can be positively connected to a radio remote control 10 by means of the connecting means 9 by engaging in corresponding openings 20 in a housing of the radio remote control 10. Alternatively, a positive connection can be made with an adapter plate 22 for a radio remote control 10.

[0029] Unlike the illustration, the guide 6 can be formed by an opening in the rail 14, into which fastening means 16 of the retaining plate 7 engage, thereby allowing the retaining plate 7 to be slidably mounted in the rail 14.

[0030] In Figure 4c In a front view, another version of a hip belt 2 is shown according to the Figure 2 shown, wherein the retaining plate 7 in the illustration has four connecting means 9 spaced apart vertically and horizontally from each other. Figure 4d shows a sectional view of a detailed view of an arrangement consisting of a harness 1 and a radio remote control 10 that can be arranged on the mounting plate 7 of the harness 1, specifically a sectional view running through the mounting plate 7 along the section line A of the Figure 4c shown together with a partially depicted sectional view by a radio remote control 10.

[0031] The mounting plate 7 can be positively connected to a radio remote control 10 by means of the hook-shaped connecting elements 9, which engage in appropriately spaced openings 20 in a housing of the radio remote control 10. The radio remote control 10 can first be connected to the connecting elements 9 located at the upper edge of the mounting plate 7. Subsequently, the radio remote control 10 can be connected, for example by a pivoting movement, to the connecting elements 9 located at the lower edge of the mounting plate 7. Alternatively, a positive connection can be made using a suitably designed adapter plate 22 for a radio remote control 10.

[0032] Figure 5 shows an arrangement consisting of a harness 1 and a radio remote control 10 which can be arranged on the mounting plate 7 of the harness 1.

[0033] Figure 5Figure 1 shows a detailed view of a version of a full-body harness 1 with illustrated adjustment ranges of the leg loops 3, the shoulder straps 4, the connecting strap 21, the waist belt 2, and the retaining plate 7 along the waist belt 2. The design of the full-body harness 1 largely corresponds to that of the design of Figure 1 , whereby in the execution of the Figure 5 a fall arrest eyelet 5 is arranged on the hip belt 2 and the radio remote control 10 can be connected to an adapter plate 22, which can be positively connected to the retaining plate 7 to connect the radio remote control 10 to the fall arrest belt 1.

[0034] Fig. 6Figure 1 shows a schematic front view of a carrying aid 40 for a user of a radio remote control. The carrying aid 40 comprises a waist belt 2, shoulder straps 4, and a storage container 50 for the shoulder straps. The storage container 50 is attached to the waist belt 2. The carrying aid 40 also includes a connecting device 9 for detachably connecting a radio remote control 10. The connecting device 9 is attached to the waist belt, and the shoulder straps 4 can be detachably attached to the front of the waist belt 2.

[0035] The shoulder straps 4 are, for example, permanently attached to the back of the hip belt 2 (e.g., sewn or glued). For instance, when wearing the carrying aid 40, the back of the hip belt 2 is located against the user's back and the front of the hip belt 2 against the user's abdomen. Furthermore, the shoulder straps 4 may have a connecting strap 21 on the front that joins the two shoulder straps 4 at the user's chest level. This prevents the shoulder straps 4 from slipping off the user's shoulders. The shoulder straps 4 may also include means for adjusting them to the user's size.

[0036] The shoulder straps 4 can include hooks 54 (e.g., at the front ends) to be detachably attached to loops 56 or eyelets on the front of the waist belt 2. Alternatively, the shoulder straps 4 can include loops or eyelets (e.g., at the front ends) to be detachably attached to hooks on the front of the waist belt 2.

[0037] The storage container 50 can be integrated into the hip belt 2 or permanently attached to it (e.g., sewn or glued). The storage container 50 can include a zipper or hook-and-loop fastener for closure. The storage container 50 can be positioned on the back of the hip belt 2 or on the side of the hip belt.

[0038] For example, the width of the hip belt 2 in the area of ​​the storage container 50 can be at least 50% wider than the average or minimum width of the hip belt 2 at the front. This allows for better pressure distribution on the user's back. The hip belt 2 can have a support pad 52 or back padding on the back for pressure distribution on the user's back. The width of the support pad 52 can, for example, be at least 50% wider than the average or minimum width of the hip belt 2 at the front.

[0039] The carrying aid 40 (e.g., ergonomic carrying system) can be optimized in terms of the shape and softness of the materials used. A wide hip belt with a generously sized back pad can reduce peak loads. Additionally, the back pad can include a pocket with detachable shoulder straps. These straps can further reduce the strain on the user's spine if needed. A sliding rail can be attached along the hip belt. The remote control can be attached to a sliding element that can move horizontally along the rail, as is the case, for example, with one or more of the Figures 2-4d This is described. In this way, the remote control can be easily pushed to the side when not needed or when it is in the way. The waist belt may have a buckle for one-handed opening and / or closing.

[0040] Further details and optional aspects will be mentioned in connection with the examples described above or below. The in Fig. 6 The example shown may include one or more optional additional features corresponding to one or more aspects related to the proposed concept or one or more above (e.g., Fig. 2-4d ) or below (e.g. Fig. 7 ) described examples will be mentioned.

[0041] Fig. 7 This shows a schematic view of a carrying aid 60 for a user of a radio remote control. The carrying aid 60 is implemented similarly to the carrying aid of the Fig. 6The shoulder straps 4, however, do not cross over at the back, but instead merge into a wide back section that is attached directly or indirectly to the hip belt 2 or directly or indirectly to the storage container 50. Furthermore, the shoulder straps 4 of the carrying aid 60 do not have a connecting strap 21 at the front.

[0042] Further details and aspects will be mentioned in connection with the examples described above. The in Fig. 7 The example shown may include one or more optional additional features corresponding to one or more aspects related to the proposed concept or one or more above (e.g., Figs. 1-5 ) described examples will be mentioned.
