Attachment strap

摘要

An attachment strap incorporating an elongated strap segment extending away from an attachment head. The attachment head includes a crossbar extending between raised lateral sidewalls. The strap may be passed under the crossbar between the lateral sidewalls. The strap segment includes an array of raised or lowered profile elements disposed at positions along the length. The crossbar includes a complementary raised or lowered profile element adapted to matedly engage the strap profile elements in reversible inserted relation and to hold the strap in place within the attachment head following insertion of the strap behind the crossbar.

1. An attachment strap of elongated geometry adapted for insertion through a webbing loop on a base article worn by a user, the attachment strap comprising:
a polymeric molded attachment head including a base frame with a pair of lateral sidewalls projecting in raised relation away from the base frame, the attachment head including a crossbar extending between the lateral sidewalls in raised relation to the base frame such that there is a space between the crossbar and the base frame, wherein the crossbar includes at least one raised or depressed crossbar profile element oriented in facing relation towards the base frame; a pliable tail segment of polymeric molded construction extending away from the attachment head, the tail segment being foldable upon itself to form a loop, the tail segment including a distal portion adapted for sliding insertion under the crossbar and between the lateral sidewalls such that the distal portion of the tail segment is disposed between the crossbar and the base frame, wherein the distal portion of the tail segment includes a stacked series of spaced apart raised or depressed tail segment profile elements facing in the same direction as the crossbar profile element when the tail segment is in a flat unfolded condition, at least a plurality of the tail segment profile elements having a geometry complementary to the crossbar profile element and being mateable in reversible press-fit inserted relation to the crossbar profile element such that the distal portion of the tail segment may be held in place relative to the crossbar following sliding insertion of the distal portion under the crossbar, and wherein either the crossbar profile element or tail segment profile elements are expansively deformed during press-fit mateable engagement between the crossbar profile element and tail segment profile elements.
