Abstract
A harness system includes a spreader bar having first and second elongate end portions at its respective ends. A curved support member is interconnected to the spreader bar by way of a plurality of straps. The straps include first and second adjustment straps connected to the first elongate end portion and to the curved support member. The first and second adjustment straps are arranged at a non-parallel angle to one another. Fixed straps may be located on a side opposite the adjustment straps. The arrangement and configuration of the spreader bar, curved support member, and adjustment straps provides an improved adjustable harness.
