ABSTRACT:
The harness comprises a carrying strap and a gripper. The carrying strap is formed from a soft material. Another strap formed from a stronger, less resilient fabric is attached to the soft strap at uniformly spaced intervals and in such a way that the second strap forms loops at its points of attachment to the soft strap. With this arrangement, the soft strap can only stretch until the loops become taut. Thereafter, the stronger second strap carries the load and this prevents the soft strap from tearing when heavy loads are carried. The gripper is formed from a resilient material and comprises a first plate and a second plate which are connected together by an arcuate web. One of the plates of the gripper has a flat body contacting surface and a loop is positioned in the arcuate web between the first and second plates for connection to a device to be carried. A plurality of pins are formed on at least one plate of the gripper. These pins penetrate the strap and attach the first and second plates of the gripper to the opposite surfaces of the end of the strap when the plates are squeezed together with the end of a carrying strap between them.
