  • Patent number: 5676426
    Abstract: A safety harness comprising a waist strap for placement around the waist of a child, right and left shoulder straps for placement over corresponding shoulders of the child and for crossing each other over the chest of the child, and an anchor strap with distal fastening elements for securing the harness to restrain the child. Each shoulder strap has a proximate end fixedly secured to the waist strap in spaced relation to the proximate end of the other shoulder strap, and a distal end with a securing loop adapted to be received on and to slide along a corresponding attachment section of the waist strap. The attachment sections have cooperative facings of hook and loop materials on opposite sides of the waist strap adjacent to front free ends such that overlapping and pressing the attachment sections together while the securing loops are received thereon releasably joins together the free ends to form a continuous waist strap with the shoulder straps connected thereto.

  • Patent number: 5535928
    Abstract: An article carrier having an elongated central strap with a fixed loop at one end, a cross-tab at the other end, and a cross-strap fixed to an intermediate portion of the central strap between the respective ends thereof. Left and right transverse segments of the cross-strap have distal end portions arranged to be placed in opposing overlapped relation within the fixed loop, and the cross-tab is arranged to be placed in opposing relation to an outside surface section of the cross-strap. Opposing surfaces of the overlapped segments and opposing surfaces of the cross-tab and cross-strap have cooperating panels of hook and loop materials for releasably connecting the article carrier in a configured orientation and for providing size adjustability thereof. A belt loop for supporting the carrier is provided by a folded portion of the central strap between the cross-strap and the cross-tab when the cross-strap and cross-tab are releasably connected together.
