First Claim
1. A harness apparatus comprising:
- a first adjustable harness strap;
a second adjustable harness strap; and
a first retainer apparatus comprising a first retainer portion slidably attached to said first harness strap, a second retainer portion slidably attached to said second harness strap, and a braking mechanism configured to prevent said first retainer portion and said second retainer portion from moving along said first harness strap and said second harness strap, wherein said first retainer portion is removably attached to said second retainer portion, wherein said braking mechanism comprises a braking device configured to apply resistance to said first harness strap and said second harness strap and to hold said first retainer apparatus in a first stationary position along said first harness strap and said second harness strap, wherein said braking device comprises a first braking device section mechanically attached to said first retainer portion and a second braking device section mechanically attached to said second retainer portion, wherein said first adjustable harness strap comprises a first strap and a first track apparatus mechanically attached to said first strap, wherein said second adjustable harness strap comprises a second strap and a second track apparatus mechanically attached to said second strap wherein said first track apparatus is continuous and elongated along at least a partial length of said first harness strap, wherein said second track apparatus is continuous and elongated along at least a partial length of said second harness strap, wherein said first braking device section is configured to apply resistance to said first track apparatus, and wherein said second braking device section is configured to apply resistance to said second track apparatus.
