ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a multi-functional worker's harness of the type comprising interacting shoulder and sub-pelvic harnesses. The shoulder strap comprises a pair of interacting strap sections, which are not attached to each other. Each strap section has a pair of ends secured to a releasable buckle and each section, when in position on a wearer, extends from one end at an opposite side near the wearer's waist at the front, over the opposite shoulder of the wearer, down the wearer's back and around the wearer's side to the other end of that section at a point on the same side as it is positioned on the front. The sections, where they cross over each other at each of the front and back, pass through and are held in overlapping fashion by a friction buckle. The sub-pelvic strap comprises a pair of strap sections, each having a pair of ends secured to releasable buckle to cooperate with a corresponding buckle of the shoulder strap sections. Each of the strap sections of the sub-pelvic strap are of a length to permit wrapping about a different one of a worker's legs and its ends to be buckled to corresponding end buckles of a corresponding one of the shoulder strap sections. A further strap section is secured to and extends between intermediate portions of the sub-pelvic sections and is intended to rest behind the wearer's seat when in position. A corresponding pair of the buckles are provided with adjustment means to permit symmetrical adjustment of the strap section lengths when in position on the wearer.
