Benefits of technology

This patent describes a cheap and flexible mechanism to attach loose items to clothing or gear. It consists of a piece of material that has a wider end, a smaller end with a hole, and a protrusion between the two. The protrusion has a shaft with a wider part than the material, and it is designed to fit through the hole on the other end of the material. When the material is folded back on itself, the wider end of the protrusion engages with the hole, securely fastening the two ends together.

Problems solved by technology

During high impact activities, a single point of attachment is susceptible to jarring loose or becoming detached and a person could lose an item attached to their clothing or gear.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]Referring now to the disclosed device in more detail, in FIG. 1 there is shown a top plan view of one surface of a preferred embodiment of the fastening device. The device comprises a length of material 20 having a first end 10 with an opening 12, a narrower second end 11 with a hole 13, a tapered folding point 17 and a protrusion 14 located between the opening 12 and the first end 10 of the length of material 20. When the device is folded at the tapered folding point 17, the second end 11 is inserted through the opening 12 of the first end 10 allowing the protrusion 14 to fit securely into the hole 13 at the second end 11 of the length of material 20 to securely fasten the ends to one another. In a preferred embodiment of the device, the thickness of the tapered folding point 17 is 0.30 inches or less and is located at the approximate mid-point of the length of material 20. Attachment to the user's clothing or gear is accomplished by inserting the length of material 20 around...

Abstract

A device for attaching items to clothing or gear including a length of material with a first end, a second end narrower than the first end, an opening near the first end of the length of material, a hole within the length of material located at the second end of the material, and a protrusion perpendicular to the plane of the length of material located between the opening near the first end of the length of material and the first end. The protrusion comprises a shaft having a head larger than the shaft, but equal to or smaller than the hole at the second end of the length of material. By folding the length of material at a tapered folding point, the second end fits through the opening near the first end allowing the protrusion to engage the hole of the second end, thus securely fastening the two ends together.
