One-belt harness

An implement carrying device to be worn by a user, the device comprising:

• a webbing-configuration hub comprising a first aperture and a second aperture;
• a direction-changing buckle connected to the webbing-configuration hub, the direction-changing buckle having a webbing aperture having a major dimension sized to receive a webbing having up to a predetermined width and having a minor dimension sized to receive a webbing's thickness such that a portion of webbing is slidable through the direction-changing buckle;
• an implement connecting member coupled to the webbing configuration hub and configured to releasably connect to an implement;
• a webbing configured to be worn by a wearer, the webbing comprising a shoulder-loop section in a tension relationship with a waist-loop section, wherein a tension in one of the shoulder-loop and waist-loop sections is transmitted to the other of the waist-loop and shoulder-loop sections, respectively, at the direction-changing buckle's webbing aperture through which webbing threads, wherein, when worn, the webbing is configured to travel a path:
• a) from a back-first waist location;
• b) along the waist along the back, around a second side and along a front;
• c) through the first aperture of the webbing-configuration hub;
• d) through the direction-changing buckle at a front-first waist location;
• e) through the second aperture of the webbing-configuration hub;
• f) up and across a front torso and over a second shoulder;
• and,
• g) down and across the back to a back-first waist location;
• a hand-operated clasp coupled to the webbing and configured to open and/or securely close the webbing about a body of the wearer;
• and,
• only one hand-operated tightening mechanism coupled to the webbing to provide combined length adjustment of the waist-loop and the shoulder loop sections, the hand-operated tightening mechanism being located on an anterior portion of the shoulder-loop section when worn by the wearer.

An implement carrying device to be worn by a user, the device comprising:

• a webbing-configuration hub comprising a first aperture and a second aperture;
• means for changing a direction of a webbing where a waist loop transitions to a shoulder loop;
• an implement connecting member coupled to the webbing configuration hub and configured to releasably connect to an implement;
• a webbing configured to be worn by a wearer, the webbing comprising a shoulder-loop section in a tension relationship with a waist-loop section, wherein a tension in one of the shoulder-loop and waist-loop sections is transmitted to the other of the waist-loop and shoulder-loop sections, respectively, at an aperture in a direction changing means through which webbing threads, wherein, when worn, the webbing is configured to travel a path:
• a) from a back-first waist location;
• b) along the waist along the back, around a second side and along a front;
• c) through the first aperture of the webbing-configuration hub;
