  • Patent number: 6467851
    Abstract: An improved harness (10) adapted to be worn by a person (12) preferably includes a continuous, unitary, non-segmented strap (34) which is threaded through an anchor member (36), side buckles (38, 40) and buckle connectors (78) to provide a harness allowing the person (12) to be secured by a standard safety belt (112). The harness presents first and second strap segments (96, 98) coupled to the anchor member (36) and extending over the shoulders (20, 22) of the person (12) and thence downwardly in crossing relationship to side buckles (38, 40) defining juncture regions (100, 102). The strap (34) is then extended rearwardly and threaded through the anchor member (36) to present third and fourth strap segments (104, 106). Finally, the strap (34) is extended downwardly from the side buckles (38, 40) and through the crotch (26) of the person upwardly for connection at the side buckles (38, 40) via buckle connectors (78).
