  • Patent number: 6892395
    Abstract: The safety garment for industrial and construction workers, and hunters incorporates a safety harness in to the body of a jacket, coat, or other apparel. The garment has a safety harness with a central attachment ring receiving a safety line, anchoring a wearer to a beam or tree trunk. The safety harness may be sewn on the outer or inner surface of a removable, reversible inner liner or a vest, or can be attached to an outer shell such as an outer vest, jacket, shirt, parka, or other garment covering the harness. The vest may be blaze orange on one side and camouflage patterned on the other. During a fall, pulling forces on the harness are equalized in both directions, providing maximal distribution of force on the wearer. The waist belt or other portion of the safety harness has attachments for removable leg loop/crotch straps and other removable accessories.

  • Patent number: 6658666
    Abstract: A safety device for hunters, naturalists, and other outdoorsmen provides a camouflaged hunting garment which incorporates a safety harness into the body of a jacket, coat, or other apparel. The safety garment has a safety harness with a central attachment ring for receiving a rope or line for releasably anchoring a wearer to an anchor point such as a tree trunk. The safety harness is attached as by sewing inside of the vest, jacket, or garment, fully covering the harness making it invisible from the outside. During an accidental fall or when used to drag a deer carcass, the pulling forces on the harness are equalized in both directions, providing maximally efficient distribution of force on the wearer. Removable leg straps are attachable to the waist belt or other portion of the safety harness and may be attached to a lower garment inner surface.

  • Patent number: 6305024
    Abstract: A safety device for hunters, naturalists, and other outdoorsmen provides a camouflaged hunting garment which incorporates a safety harness into the body of a jacket, coat, or other apparel. The safety garment is made up of a safety harness with a central attachment ring for receiving a rope or line for releasably anchoring a wearer to an anchor point such as the trunk of a tree. The safety harness is sewn into the inside portion of the vest, jacket, or garment, fully covering the harness so that it is essentially invisible from the outside. In the event the harness is in use, such as during an accidental fall or when dragging a deer carcass, the pulling forces on the harness are equalized in both directions, providing maximally efficient distribution of force on the wearer.
