Fastening devices and systems and methods thereof. Fastening devices and systems and methods thereof can include a unitary or one-piece body having first and second ends configured and operative to be coupled together or to be coupled to their respective complement in another of said fastening devices. The first end can include a ring or annular portion and a projection that are sized and shaped to fit around an anchor and in an orifice, respectively, of the second end. Fastening devices and systems and methods thereof according to embodiments may be used with items, including footwear, apparel, luggage, a backpack, a bag, a purse, a boxing glove, a punching bag, football or lacrosse shoulder pads, or the like.

The adhesive hanger is a multi-use hanger adapted for supporting a wide variety of different articles. The adhesive hanger includes a flexible strap having opposed first and second surfaces, the strap being elongated and having opposed first and second ends. Each of the first and second ends has an aperture formed therein. A releasable closure is secured to the first surface of the flexible strap for releasably securing the first end to the second end, such that when the first and second ends are secured to one another, the holes respectively formed therein are aligned to form a passage adapted for hanging from an external structure, such as a hook, nail, peg or the like. The releasable closure may be an adhesive, although it should be understood that the adhesive may be replaced by any suitable type of releasable closure.

Sister hook type tool assemblies comprise mating arms having C shape lower ends grip portions that terminate in jaws. The arms preferably are held between two spaced apart housings. The arms, and housings when present, are held together by a fastener at the upper end of the assembly. The arms pivot relative to one another and to the mated housings. Each housing has a pair of forks at one end which define a U shape opening. An object received in the opening is retained when the jaw ends arms overlappingly close the fork opening, due to action of spring. The V shape lower end contour of the mated arms and inclined surfaces of the fork tips cause a rigid object to open the jaws when the tool is thrusted at the object. The jaws then close under spring force, capturing the object. Optional locking means are used to keep the jaws from unintentionally opening.

This invention provides a combination clip and hook (clip) for use generally in suspending articles having shoulder or hand straps, or carrying other accessories, such as keys, which is rotatably movable about a rotary joint between a first position in which two opposing, rotatably joined portions of the overall clip structure are oriented together to form a continuous, enclosed shape that can be secured around another strap or loop on an item or piece of clothing, and a second position in which the two portions of the structure are rotated out of the enclosed shape, and into, for example, a substantially S-shaped hook in which one portion of the structure supports the strap of the item and the other portion can be applied to a clothing hook, chair back, table surface, door top, or other supporting member.

A clamp apparatus is disclosed. The clamp apparatus includes a first half having a first end and a second end; a second half having a first end and a second end, the first and second halves being connected together at the first ends; and wherein the second end of the first half and the second end of the second half are flared outwardly away from a centerline of the clamp apparatus to receive a conductor therebetween.

A clipping apparatus is disclosed. The clipping apparatus connects on the Z-axis but can be activated for release on either the X or Y-axis. The system also has a self-locking mechanism on the handle to create a secure connection along the Z-axis. It is comprised of a first member comprising a first cavity and a first handle and a second member comprising a second cavity and a second handle. The first member and second member are mated to a spring connection mechanism and a base plate, thereby forming an opening. When the first handle and the second handle are pushed inwards, a male fitting is accepted into the opening and locked into the opening when the first handle and the second handle are released.

Fastening devices and systems and methods thereof. Fastening devices and systems and methods thereof can include a unitary or one-piece body having first and second ends configured and operative to be coupled together or to be coupled to their respective complement in another of said fastening devices. The first end can include a ring or annular portion and a projection that are sized and shaped to fit around an anchor and in an orifice, respectively, of the second end. Fastening devices and systems and methods thereof according to embodiments may be used with items, including footwear, apparel, luggage, a backpack, a bag, a purse, a boxing glove, a punching bag, football or lacrosse shoulder pads, or the like.

A bag clamp having retention arms, capable of rotating about a pivoting axis between an open and closed position. The retention arms are connected to a locking mechanism configured to prevent the retention arms from pivoting to an open configuration when the locking mechanism is in an engaged setting. The arms are shaped to create an open receiving space. The open receiving space allows the bag clamp to receive a rigid structure to clamp onto while also receiving a bag's straps.

A clipping apparatus is disclosed. The clipping apparatus connects on the Z-axis but can be activated for release on either the X or Y-axis. The system also has a self-locking mechanism on the handle to create a secure connection along the Z-axis. It is comprised of a first member comprising a first cavity and a first handle and a second member comprising a second cavity and a second handle. The first member and second member are mated to a spring connection mechanism and a base plate, thereby forming an opening. When the first handle and the second handle are pushed inwards, a male fitting is accepted into the opening and locked into the opening when the first handle and the second handle are released.

A ligature attachment device for use with a ligature is disclosed, the ligature attachment device comprising a proximal section comprising a loop retainer section, a distal section comprising a tool section, a central section comprising a central ligature spool section having a centrally located cinch aperture and the central ligature spool section is coupled to the loop retainer section and the tool section. The loop retainer section having a loop retainer profile configured to retain a loop of the ligature frictionally engaged with the central ligature spool section. The cinch aperture having an aperture shape configured to allow at least two sections of a ligature to be removably retained in the cinch aperture whereby the cinch aperture can removably retain the loop of the ligature. The tool section comprises a first tool for removably joining a second tool.
