A fitting for a harness, such as a trapeze harness for a sailboat is
disclosed. The fitting comprises: a first part secured to or securable to
a harness, a second part connectable to a tether, and a mechanism to
releasably inter-connect the first and second parts. The mechanism
comprises a plurality of locking members each having a rounded or tapered
locking part, configured to be received within a respective locking
aperture located on the second part. A locking element is provided which
is moveable between a locking position and a release position and is
configured to urge each locking member into a position in which its
locking part is received within a respective locking aperture when the
locking element is in the locking position. This enables the first part
and the second part to be releasably locked together.
