Abstract

A load bearing bracket for adjustable gear bags comprises a base bracket having a plurality of openings disposed therein. The openings are arranged in columns and rows. A top row consists of uniformly sized openings and alternates with another row of uniformly but different sized openings. This arrangement maximizes adjustability when attaching a variety of holding items such as Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment (MOLLE) bags or other equipment bags or holders. The base bracket is mounted using bolts, rivets or other fasteners to a vehicle. The equipment bags have an attached strap that fits within the openings to secure them therein. A plurality of large adjustment openings are disposed along a bottom portion of the base bracket allowing a user to insert a hand to guide and secure the straps. A snap on the bottom of the strap secures the free end of the strap to the bag.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority and herein incorporates by reference U.S. provisional patent application 60 / 958,699, filed Jul. 9, 2007.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Since the introduction of the Ford Model T, the history of the motorized vehicle includes many important improvements for safety and convenience.

Additionally, these types of vehicles are even more likely to have a need to carry many items since these vehicles are often used in more extreme situations such as off-road acti...
