  • Safety harness for motorcycle passenger
    Patent number: 4560097
    Abstract: A safety harness for securing a child passenger to the driver of a motorcycle comprises a vest to be worn by the child and two straps connected together to form two continuous loops and also being connected to the vest. These loops embrace the back of the vest from top to bottom and extend forwardly thereof to form shoulder loop portions to be worn by the driver. Preferably the straps crossover below the vest and are sewn at this crossover, the legs of the child straddling the crossover. The vest may be laced-up at the back between the loops and have a zipper at the front.
