LOAD CARRYING KIT AND A FASTENER FOR USE IN SAME

摘要

A fastener for use in load carrying harness or the like is provided with a plate from which protrude stem means adapted to pass through a utility carrier and through a strap, with a securing plate arranged to be attached to the protruding end of the stem means, to thus secure a carrier attachment to a waist belt or the like. The fastener and the overall assembly is more convenient to use as it prevents the carrier pouches or the like to slip along the belt or strap. Also, the load carriers are prevented from pivoting about the carrier belt, to add to the comfort of the person carrying the harness. The fastener is of a relatively simple structure and has wide use at different points of the harness both for securing the load carrier attachments to the harness and for securing part of the harness straps to each other.
