Hook for shoulder sling

摘要

Several versions of a holder for a shoulder sling or strap are described. Preferably, the holder may be secured to or manufactured in the shoulder strap of a backpack or a garment. The holder has a generally horizontal base with at least one preferably integrally formed upstanding prong near one end of the base. Near the other end of the base, a moveable clamp is secured, and extends over the middle region of the base to engage with the upstanding prong. This way, for example, when the clamp is engaged with the prong, it extends over and cooperates to hold a rifle sling on the middle region of the base beneath the clamp.
