Benefits of technology
The present invention is a combination of a holster and a bag for quickly deploying rescue ropes. The holster is designed to fit different types of boat tubes and is secured with a shock cord. The bag holds the rope and can only be deployed when pulled outward by the rescuer. The rope then spools out of the bag while the end remains attached to the holster with a quick release buckle. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a convenient and efficient tool for water rescue use.
Problems solved by technology
The Issues with the current rescue ropes specifically in a whitewater rafting scenario is that the rope is often sinched down inside a bag and then buckled to the raft in someway.
This process takes time in a situation where time is not necessarily available.
Current quick release systems for rescue bags address only the issue of quickly having the rescue rope bag in your hand but fail to address the issue that using both hands is not always an option, and holding the end of the rope once the rope has been thrown is not always practical.
Devices using velcro or snaps suffer from fast wear and tear and accidental deployment due to forces associated with use in turbulent water.

Embodiment Construction
[0018]A new holster and bag system for the quick deployment and use of a rescue rope will be discussed herein. The present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the invention, and is not intended to limit the invention to the specific embodiments illustrates by the figures, pictures, or description below.
[0019]The present invention will now be described by referencing the appended figures and pictures representing preferred embodiments. As seen in (FIG. 7) and (Picture 7), the bag containing the rescue rope is intended to be secured to the (11)holster via a (03) shock cord that fits into a groove on said holster (The holster is depicted in more detail and varying perspectives in FIGS. 8, 9, 10 as well as in FIG. 11, FIG. 12, Picture 11 and Picture 12. The (11) holster is intended to be flexible and therefore able to flex to fit a large variety of tube sizes commonly used in whitewater rafts and other water craft. (In Picture 11 this flexibility is demonstrated on a...

The present invention comprises a new holster and bag system for use in water rescue situations. The flexible holster is capable of securing to various different watercraft in various ways while holding the corresponding rescue rope bag in place via a shock cord placed within the groove of the circular holster. The end of the rope should also be held in place by a quick release system capable of holding the rope unless released by the rescuer. The holster may be made differently or secured differently to fit different craft. The bag may also be designed differently to hold different amounts or sizes of rope for different applications.
Description
FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a quicker and more simple holster and bag system for using throw bags and rescue ropes in any water rescue scenario including but not limited to whitewater rafting, search and rescue, ocean rescue, and the like. More specifically this holster is capable of attaching to any inflatable, or rigid tube like structure and holding a pre packed rescue rope bag, securely in place, until deployed by the rescuer. The system in also capable of holding the end of the rope securely and allowing the rope to be released via quick release if need be.BACKGROUND[0002]Rescue ropes have been widely used in the whitewater and water rescue scene. The Issues with the current rescue ropes specifically in a whitewater rafting scenario is that the rope is often sinched down inside a bag and then buckled to the raft in someway. This leaves the guide or rescuer with the task of letting go of their paddle or other means of controlling the boat, unclipping...
