ABSTRACT:
A safety harness of the type worn by boatmen to facilitate their being tethered to an adjacent support during rough seas, includes a clip formed from a single length of stiff wire material bent to a U-shape. The U-shaped body of the clip essentially comprises a pair of U-shaped clip members having legs the distal ends of which are jointed to maintain the members in spaced, parallel planes. The clip is usable to particular advantage with a buckle element such as a D-ring. When the cross bar of the D-ring extends across the U-shaped body within the space defined between the planes of the clip members, the clip serves to connect to each other a shoulder strap and a chestband to one of which the D-ring is connected. The clip connects the straps at right angles to each other, with the interengaged straps being confined substantially entirely to the space between the planes of the clip members. The clip in this relationship to the straps snugly and tightly interengages the straps with each other and with the D-ring, in any of various selected positions to which the straps may be adjusted upon the body of the user.
