About: Miner's apron

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The miner's apron (German: Arschleder, Bergleder or Fahrleder) is part of the clothing worn, especially historically, by miners in the mining industries of German-speaking Europe. Variously called in English a miner's apron, a miner's after-apron, breech leather or miner's leather apron, it was a leather apron that served to keep the seat of the trousers from wearing out when working or moving around the mine (Fahrung) as well as keeping out the cold and moisture when sitting. It also provided protection especially when entering inclined mineshafts. Another advantage was that it stabilised the internal organs from mechanical shock and vibration by acting as a sort of kidney belt. The miner's apron was a triangular or, more rarely, semi-circular piece of leather and was supported by the bod

  • Das Arschleder oder Arsleder, auch Bergleder, Erzleder, Grubenleder, Rutschleder oder Fahrleder genannt, zählte im Bergbau zur Kleidung des Bergmannes. Es diente als Schutz vor dem Durchwetzen des Hosenbodens sowie gegen Bodennässe und Kälte beim Sitzen. Insbesondere beim Einfahren in tonnlägige Schächte, wenn die Bergleute auf dem Leder die Vertonnung hinabrutschten. Das Arschleder ist ein meist halbrundes Lederstück und wurde am Leibriemen getragen. Die Gestaltung moderner Arschleder ist in der DIN 23307 Gesäßleder für den Bergbau (Arschleder) geregelt. (de)
