Abstract

A firearm harness apparatus, comprising at least a first shoulder loop, the first shoulder loop comprising at least one non-slip member, the at least one non-slip member arranged on the harness apparatus such that, when the harness apparatus is arranged on a host, the at least one non-slip member is located between a thorax of the host and a medial side of a firing arm of the host.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A firearm harness apparatus, comprising:
 at least a first shoulder loop;   the first shoulder loop comprising at least one non-slip member, the at least one non-slip member arranged on the harness apparatus such that, when the harness apparatus is arranged on a host, the at least one non-slip member is located between a thorax of the host and a medial side of a firing arm of the host.   
     
     
         2 . The harness apparatus of  claim 1  wherein:
 the thorax of the host includes a lateral thoracic region; and 
 when the harness apparatus is arranged on the host, the at least one non-slip member is arranged on the harness such that the at least one non-slip member overlies and is supported by the lateral thoracic region of the thorax. 
 
     
     
         3 . The harness apparatus of  claim 1  wherein:
 when the harness apparatus is arranged on the host and a firearm is coupled to the harness apparatus and is in a non-use position, the at least one non-slip member inhibits the firearm from moving when the firearm is in contact with the at least one non-slip member. 
 
     
     
         4 . The harness apparatus of  claim 1  wherein:
 when the harness apparatus is arranged on the host and a firearm is coupled to the harness apparatus and is in a use position, the at least one non-slip member inhibits the firing arm of the host from moving relative to the thorax of the host when the firing arm of the host is in contact with the at least one non-slip member. 
 
     
     
         5 . The harness apparatus of  claim 1  wherein:
 the at least one non-slip member comprises at least one elongated gripping strip. 
 
     
     
         6 . The harness apparatus of  claim 5  wherein:
 the at least one elongated gripping strip is formed of an elastomeric polymer composition. 
 
     
     
         7 . The harness apparatus of  claim 5  wherein:
 the at least one elongated gripping strip comprises at least one row of stitches sewn to a textile backing. 
 
     
     
         8 . The harness apparatus of  claim 7  wherein:
 the stitches are formed of an elastomeric thread. 
 
     
     
         9 . The harness apparatus of  claim 8  wherein:
 the elastomeric thread has a diameter of 0.1 mm to 1.5 mm. 
 
     
     
         10 . The harness apparatus of  claim 7  wherein:
 the at least one row of stitches comprises a plurality of rows of stitches; and 
 the plurality of rows of stitches are adjacent one another and stagger relative to one another. 
 
     
     
         11 . The harness apparatus of  claim 1  wherein:
 the first shoulder loop further comprises a flexible tubular sleeve disposed over a padding member. 
 
     
     
         12 . The harness apparatus of  claim 11  wherein:
 the at least one non-slip member overlies the tubular sleeve. 
 
     
     
         13 . The harness apparatus of  claim 11  wherein:
 the padding member comprises a foam. 
 
     
     
         14 . The harness apparatus of  claim 1  wherein:
 the first shoulder loop includes at least one fastener to couple to the firearm. 
 
     
     
         15 . The harness apparatus of  claim 14  wherein:
 when the harness apparatus is arranged on the host, the at least one fastener is arranged to overlie a pectoral region of the host. 
 
     
     
         16 . The harness apparatus of  claim 14  wherein:
 the at least one fastener comprises at least one mechanical fastener. 
 
     
     
         17 . The harness apparatus of  claim 14  wherein:
 the at least one mechanical fastener comprises a quick detach swivel. 
 
     
     
         18 . The harness apparatus of  claim 14  wherein:
 the at least one mechanical fastener comprises a ball lock swivel. 
 
     
     
         19 . The harness apparatus of  claim 14  wherein:
 the at least one fastener is disposed at the end of a detachable tether. 
 
     
     
         20 . The harness apparatus of  claim 14  wherein:
 the at least one fastener is disposed at the end of the elastic member. 
 
     
     
         21 . The harness apparatus of  claim 14  wherein:
 the first shoulder loop comprises a plurality of fasteners to fasten to the firearm. 
 
     
     
         22 . The harness apparatus of  claim 14  wherein:
 the first shoulder loop is formed by a plurality of first shoulder loop elongated segments comprising a first shoulder loop upper segment and a first shoulder loop lower segment; 
 the first shoulder loop upper segment includes the at least one fastener to couple to the firearm; and 
 the first shoulder loop lower segment includes the at least one non-slip member. 
 
     
     
         23 . The harness apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a second shoulder loop coupled to the first shoulder loop. 
 
     
     
         24 . The harness of  claim 23  wherein:
 the second shoulder loop includes at least one magazine pouch.
