  • Patent number: 11311755
    Abstract: The roping harness comprises a belt and leg loops. The belt is formed by a first strip and a second strip separated so as to define a housing cavity housing at least one foam comfort pad. The first strip is an inner strip designed to come into contact with the user's back whereas the second strip is an outer strip of the belt. The first strip and second strip are fixed to one another by at least one resistance strap mechanically fixed to a suspension point. The housing cavity comprises at least one opening so that the foam comfort pad is removable from the housing cavity.

  • Patent number: 10682538
    Abstract: The roping harness comprises: a belt provided with a first strap and with at least first and second comfort parts arranged between the first strap and the user, a pair of thigh straps, a connecting element connected to the pair of thigh straps, a first adjustment device configured to adjust the length of the first strap and to define the circumference of the belt. The first comfort pad and second comfort pad are fitted movable in translation with respect to one another. The first comfort pad is fitted movable in translation with respect to the first strap along the first strap. The belt comprises at least a first blocking stop configured to prevent movement of the first comfort pad with respect to the second comfort pad beyond a threshold value, the first adjustment device forming a second blocking stop of the first comfort pad.

  • Patent number: 10675490
    Abstract: A strap includes at least a first and second area, the first and second areas being consecutive along a longitudinal axis of the strap. The strap is woven from at least the first, second and third groups of warp threads and at least one weft thread, the strap being devoid of the second group in the second area, and of the third group in the first area, the first group passing through the first and second areas. The first group and second group of warp threads are distributed over the width of the strap in the first area.

  • Publication number: 20180078799
    Abstract: A belt of a roping harness having a flexible knit support strip designed to support the dorsal part of a user, an adjustment device of the circumference of the belt having first and second ends fixed to the support strip in first and second positions, and at least three resistance threads each sewn onto the adjustment device in specific third and fourth positions. At least one of the resistance threads presents a larger length than the distance separating its third and fourth positions along the support strip. The belt includes guidelines formed by a knit fabric which secure the resistance threads with the support strip in separated manner from one another in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the support strip. The roping harness comprises a pair of leg loops having similar features.

  • Publication number: 20160096043
    Abstract: A belt of roping harness including flexible support strip designed to support dorsal part of user's body, adjustment device of the circumference of belt having first and second ends fixed to support strip in first and second positions, and at least three resistance threads each stitched onto adjustment device in specific third and fourth positions. At least one of the resistance threads presents longer length than the distance separating the third and fourth positions along the support strip. The belt also includes securing means of the resistance threads configured so as to secure the resistance threads with the support strip in manner separated from one another in orthogonal direction to longitudinal axis of the support strip. Also relates to a pair of leg loops including similar features. Finally it relates to roping harness including belt and/or pair of leg loops provided with the above-mentioned features.
