Abstract
A garment that is connectable to a safety line or the like and which includes at least one band, which is intended to take up the weight of a person wearing the garment. The band is disposed to move substantially freely in channels (a-c) in the garment (1), the channels being oriented such that a tensional force in the band, applied at the connection point (21) between it and the safety line, achieves tightening of the band and thereby the garment round the person.
Claims14
Garment, connectable to a safety line or the like by a connection point, and including at least one band of material, which is intended to take up the weight of a person wearing the garment and which is intended to glide in guide means mounted on the garment, said guide means being oriented such that a tensional force in the band applied at the connection point between said point and the safety line achieves tightening of the band, and thus the garment, around the person, characterized in that the garment (1;
- 30;30') comprises a front and a back each comprising outer and inner layers of material which are sewn together by seams to form the garment itself, as well as elongate channels (a-c;
- g,h;
- g',h') defined by the layers and the seams and constituting said guide means, and in that an opening (13;
- 37,37') is made in the back in the outer layer, through which the connection point is accessible, said connection point being formed as a ring (21;
- 44;
- 66) surrounding portions of the band (15;
- 38,39;
- 65) which overlappingly cross one another at said connection point.
