Abstract: The present invention is a safety harness that is designed for persons who work at elevations of six feet (6?) and above. It incorporates two panels of continuously knitted vertical and horizontal intersecting straps that are sewn together at the front and back to make a one piece half body suit with a zipper placed in the front for easy wear. The primary use will be with a fall arrest system that will connect to a t-shaped loop sewn to the back of the suit. This design gives not only support to the wearer while suspended but protects the femoral artery in case of extended hanging time after a fall by keeping the body in a horizontal position. Fall arrest forces are also distributed over the body, mainly the torso, which leads to better comfort and performance.

Abstract: This is a multi part clip installed under the seam of a raised seam roof that allows secure attachment of objects to the roof. One component of the invention is a base clip constructed from thin gage sheet metal and having multiple holes with some dimpled for fasteners. Another component of the invention is a vertical clip also constructed from thin gage sheet metal and having slots on either side to allow fasteners for attachment through the vertical clip. The two components when installed under a new or a pre-existing raised seam roof allows secure permanent or temporary attachment of objects using clamping force applied over the reinforcement clip without the need for deforming or changing the visual esthetics of the roof panels. This produces more support for vertical, lateral, and downward pressure.

Abstract: This is a multi-part clamp assembly used for fall protection used on standing seam metal roofs. One component of the clamp is a clamp body measuring 2?×2½?×6? made of extruded aluminum. This part is designed to allow attachment to multiple styles of standing seam roofs without having to slide the clamp body onto the end of a seam. Another component of the clamp assembly is a series of six (6) ½?×1¼ concave set screws horizontally opposed to a series of six (6) ??×1¼? convex set screws with a thread-locking compound designed for non-removal from the clamp body. These twelve (12) set screws are torqued at 200 inch pounds and apply pressure and dimple the roof seam to secure the clamp to the standing seam without puncturing or tearing the seam metal. The final component is a D-ring secured by a special non-removable bolt with thread-locking compound screwed in the clamp body for attaching a safety fall arrest system or harness.

Abstract: A multi part clamp for fall protection use on a standing seam roof. One component of the clamp is a clamp body with a slot formed within. This slot that may be so designed to allow attachment to multiple styles of standing seam roofs without having to slide the clamp body onto an end of a seam. Another component of the clamp is a pressure bar so designed as to apply pressure to the standing seam without puncturing or tearing the seam metal. Another component is one or more fasteners may be directed through the clamp body to apply pressure and secure the pressure bar to the roof seam and further secure the clamp to the standing seam. Another component is an attachment bracket on the clamp body for attaching a safety fall arrest system or harness to the clamp that is capable of maintaining load in four directions.
