A method and system are disclosed. A method of printing onto a base having an upper surface spaced from a lower surface by a base thickness includes dispensing a yarn from a nozzle of a printing system and selectively attaching the yarn to a first attachment region. The step of dispensing the yarn includes dispensing a heat-moldable material and a melt-resistant material. The step of selectively attaching the yarn to the first attachment region includes moving the nozzle into the first attachment region. The step of moving the nozzle into the first attachment region reduces the base thickness by a prodding distance. The heat-moldable material bonds to the first attachment region.

A belt loop for attachment of a duty belt to a garment or other object includes a belt fastener having a piece of hook-and-loop material complementary to a piece of hook-and-loop material on the duty belt.

Provided is an air injection device. The air injection device includes: a body having an air passage formed therein; and an opening and closing part coupled to one end periphery of the body and having an opening and closing protrusion protruding from an inner surface thereof toward the air passage of the body by a given length in such a manner as to open and close the air passage, wherein the opening and closing protrusion is moved in a first direction toward the body or in a second direction opposite to the first direction by means of a user's control for the opening and closing part, and the movement of the opening and closing protrusion in the first direction or in the second direction is guided by means of a guide groove formed on an outer peripheral surface of one end portion of the body and a guide protrusion formed on the inner peripheral surface of the opening and closing part in such a manner as to be inserted into the guide groove.
