Ergonomic reversible attachment device for a load-carrying system

摘要

A reversible attachment device comprises a reversible hanger having a piece of hook material on a first side and a piece of loop material on a second side and may optionally be assembled with either side facing an accessory holder. Embodiments of a reversible attachment stabilize and distribute loads from objects in accessory holders. By selecting which side of the reversible hanger faces the accessory adapter, an accessory holder may be suspended from a load-carrying structure having either loop material or hook material. In some embodiments, the hook material and loop material are formed into a sleeve which fits slidably around the reversible hanger. Alternative assembly configurations for an embodiment provide for a range of height adjustment between an accessory holder and a load-carrying structure. Some embodiments include an accessory holder with a reversible attachment device. Other embodiments include a duty belt or other load-carrying structure.

主权项

1. A device for removably attaching an accessory holder to a load-carrying structure, comprising: an accessory holder having a front side adapted for holding an accessory and a back side opposite said front side; and a reversible attachment device comprising: a reversible hanger having a first side and a second side parallel to said first side, a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the reversible hanger is detached from the second end of the reversible hangar; a piece of hook material of a hook-and-loop fastener on said first side of said reversible hanger; and a piece of loop material of a hook-and-loop fastener on said second side of said reversible hanger; said reversible attachment device having a first attachment position in which said reversible hanger is attached to said accessory holder to form a belt loop sized for a clearance fit around the load-carrying structure, folded so both of said first and second sides of said reversible hanger are in contact with said back side of said accessory holder, with both of said first end and second end of said reversible hanger in contact with said back side of said accessory holder, with said second side of said reversible hanger having said piece of loop material of a hook-and-loop fastener is located on an inside of said belt loop formed by said reversible hanger and said second side of said reversible hanger having said piece of hook material of a hook-and-loop fastener is located on an outside of said belt loop formed by said reversible hanger and wherein said piece of loop material located on the inside of said belt loop is in contact with a piece of hook material on a load-carrying structure; and said reversible attachment device having a second attachment position in which said reversible hanger is attached to said accessory holder to form a belt loop sized for a clearance fit around the load-carrying structure, folded so both of said first and second sides of said reversible hanger are in contact with said back side of said accessory holder, with said first side of said reversible hanger having said piece of hook material of a hook-and-loop fastener is located on the inside of said belt loop formed by said reversible hanger and said second side of said reversible hanger having said piece of loop material of a hook-and-loop fastener is located on the outside of said belt loop formed by said reversible hanger and wherein said hook piece of material located on the inside of said belt loop is in contact with a piece of loop material on said load-carrying structure.
