Abstract
A roping belt comprises a lining structure, and an equipment-carrying device achieved by means of a continuous cord fixed by seams along the lining structure forming a succession of attachment loops. The ends of the cord are securedly attached to the belt by first end seams able to withstand higher forces than those of the second intermediate seams forming the attachment loops.
Claims7
A roping belt comprising:
- a lining structure;
- an equipment-carrying device including a continuous cord fixed by seams along the lining structure so as to form a succession of attachment loops;
- and
- attachment means arranged at a front of the belt, wherein:
- both distal ends of the cord are securedly attached to the belt by first end seams structured to have a strength that withstands a tearing force of 4 kN or greater to thereby support a weight of a man, a strength of second intermediate seams that form the succession of the attachment loops being less than the strength of the first end seams, and
- two successive loops of the equipment-carrying device are fixed under a seam of biases at a level of a top edge of the belt that is opposite from a bottom edge of the belt and the attachment loops hang from the bottom edge when the roping belt is worn by a user.
