Spliced Harness Rope Assembly for Adjustable Body Tension
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing harness securing systems for hunting and outdoor activities do not allow for adjustable tension at different body portions, compromising comfort and stability.
Innovation Solution
A harness rope assembly comprising interlocked ropes with spliced sections forming closed loops and slip knots, enabling adjustable tension at various body parts through selectively slidable connections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed harness securing system is used, then the structure is simple and reliable, but the tension cannot be adjusted at different body portions
Solution Approach 1:
The harness rope is divided into multiple segments with independent adjustment capabilities. The first rope assembly and second rope assembly can be adjusted independently, allowing different tension levels at different body portions while maintaining overall system reliability through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The harness transitions from a fixed structure to a dynamic adjustable system. The slidable connections and adjustable components allow the harness to adapt to different user needs and body shapes, providing customizable tension distribution while maintaining security through controlled adjustability.
2Ease of operation
If adjustable components are added to the harness, then tension can be customized for comfort, but the reliability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The harness incorporates self-adjusting mechanisms where the slidable connections and adjustable components allow users to easily modify tension without requiring external tools or complex procedures. The design enables users to independently adjust the harness to their preferred tension levels while maintaining secure attachment through the same adjustable mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The harness is pre-configured with adjustable components and slidable connections that are prepared for easy adjustment. The preliminary design of the adjustment mechanisms ensures that tension can be modified quickly and reliably without compromising the securing strength, as the adjustment capabilities are built into the fundamental structure of the harness ropes and connections.

AI summary
A harness rope assembly includes a first rope consisting of a loop, a second rope, a bridge rope, and a third rope. The second rope includes a closed loop, a first free tether, and a second free tether. Each of the first and second free tethers has a free end and an attached end. The attached ends are attached to one another and the closed loop to together form a central splice. The free ends are inserted through the loop and spliced into an interior of the second rope on either side of the central splice to form a first closed attachment loop and a second closed attachment loop both interlocked with the loop. The bridge rope includes an end loop. The third rope is spliced together in a similar manner as the second rope and interlocked with the end loop.
