  • Safety garment
    Patent number: 4731882

The band is disposed to move substantially freely in channels (a-c) in the garment (1), the channels being oriented such that a tensional force in the band, applied at the connection point (21) between it and the safety line, achieves tightening of the band and thereby the garment round the person.
