  • Publication number: 20240335686
    Abstract: An adjustable lineman safety belt having a body secured to a user with a belt tongue. A primary strap and auxiliary strap, each separately and independently adjustable, extend along the body spaced apart from one another and secured at each terminal end to a different D ring. The belt tongue shares D rings with the primary strap. Each strap includes an adjustment member permitting selective adjustment of the strap length, such as by sliding. Strap length adjustment similarly varies the distance between corresponding D rings, maintaining the weight distribution and balance of the overall device. Safety straps connect the auxiliary strap to the body while also permitting adjustment of the length. Drop straps connect the belt tongue to the body and safety strap for added safety in case of a fall. Covers also protect each of the adjustable members to prevent from accidental adjustment while the belt in is use.

  • Patent number: 5450675
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for vertically aligning a structure. The vertical alignment device has a main body with a front face, a back surface, two side surfaces, and a top reflective surface with an edge and a cross hair extending from the edge; a planar member having a cross hair and being attached to the top surface; and horizontal level. The method of vertically aligning a structure substantially comprises the steps of positioning the vertical alignment device against the structure to be vertically aligned, moving the alignment device such that the top surface cross hair is in alignment with the planar member cross hair when looking into the top reflective surface, manipulating the structure such that both the top surface cross hair and the planar member cross hair are in alignment with the center line of the structure when looking into the top reflective surface, and positioning the main body such that the level indicates that the main body is horizontally level.
