Roping harness
A roping harness includes a belt, a first and a second leg loop, and shoulder straps. The belt has an inner and an outer face. A first loop is fixed to the belt and designed for attachment of the shoulder straps. A second loop is fixed to the belt and is distinct from the first loop, the second loop being designed to form a ventral attachment point. A first strap defines a ring securely fixed to the belt and to the leg loops, the first strap being attached to the belt by a seam. The first and second loops are arranged in the ring, the first loop being outside the second loop and the second loop being outside the first loop. The first loop is arranged facing the second loop in a direction parallel to a first direction that passes through the inner and the outer face of the belt.
1 . Roping harness comprising:
a belt, a first leg loop, a second leg loop;
a joining strap forming a leg loop link connecting the first leg loop and the second leg loop, the joining strap having a central portion disposed between a first end connected to the first leg loop and a second end connected to the second leg loop;
a first loop fixed to the belt to form a ventral suspension point; and
a ring securely attached to the belt, the leg loop link passing through the ring, the first loop being disposed in the ring, the ring surrounding the belt and the central portion of the joining strap;
wherein the joining strap forms a first fold between the central portion and the first end and forms a second fold between the central portion and the second end; the first fold and the second fold being arranged beyond the ring on each side of the ring in the longitudinal direction;
wherein the central portion extends mainly in a longitudinal direction of the belt from the first fold to the second fold, the longitudinal direction connecting the first end to the second end;
wherein the first loop is arranged salient from the belt in a first direction and the first leg loop and the second leg loop are arranged salient from the belt in a second direction opposite to the first direction;
wherein the central portion is fixed to the belt between the first fold and the second fold; and
wherein at least one seam fixedly secures the ring, the central portion of the joining strap and the belt.
2 . Roping harness according to claim 1 wherein the first fold and the second fold are secured to the belt by at least one additional seam.
3 . Roping harness according to claim 1 wherein the leg loop link is fixed to the belt by belt seams, wherein the ring is formed by a first strap having a first end fixed to a second end by resistance seams, wherein the resistance seams withstand a first stress applied between the first loop and the leg loops and wherein the belt seams yield to said first stress.
4 . Roping harness according to claim 1 wherein the first fold or the second fold is fixed to the belt by fold seams, wherein the ring is formed by a first strap having a first end fixed to a second end by resistance seams, and wherein the resistance seams withstand a first stress applied between the first loop, the first leg loop and the second leg loops and wherein the fold seams yield to said first stress.
5 . Roping harness according to claim 1 wherein the leg loop link is made from a joining strap that presents a breaking strength in a direction connecting the first leg loop with the second leg loop that is lower than a breaking strength of the ring in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the belt.
