Patent attributes
A safety line assembly is a lightweight retractable cord on a reel having a first and a second biasing spring-clip for attaching a hard hat to a user's safety harness when working above the ground to prevent the hard had from accidently striking an individual or object below the user if the hard hat unintentionally falls off of the head of the user. The first biasing spring clip is attached to the reel housing via the first cord. The second cord attaches to the retractable reel within the housing for the reel and extends exteriorly of the housing to attach to the second biasing spring-clip. The retractable reel keeps the second cord wound onto the reel only releasing enough slack to allow free movement of the user's head eliminating additional slack to prevent entanglement of the cord.
