A carrying device (10) comprises one or more storage pouches (12), at least one shoulder strap (14), intended for carrying, connected to the storage pouch. An attachment member (20) is intended for attachment of a long narrow object (3) and comprises a first part (21) and a second part (22), being releasable from one another. The first and second parts have a respective connecting end and a respective fixation end. The connecting ends are configured to receive and lock one another. The fixation end of the second part is configured to allow attachment to a long narrow object (3). The fixation end of the first part is fastened on the storage pouch, the shoulder strap or a frame, at a position proximally behind one of the shoulders (4), thereby allowing freedom of when said long narrow object is secured. A method for handling a carrying device is also disclosed.

A snap hook assembly includes a base assembly that has a hook at one end. A lever assembly including an actuation mechanism and an arm assembly fits through an opening defined through the base assembly. The arm assembly is positioned on one side of the base assembly and the actuation mechanism of the lever assembly is positioned on the opposite side of the base assembly. The actuation mechanism is fit within a housing so that the lever assembly may pivot with respect to the base assembly. A clasp is attached to the base assembly so that an end of the clasp is biased to contact the hook of the base assembly. When the lever assembly pivots, the arm assembly contacts and rotates the clasp to create a gap between the clasp and the hook.

The present application includes embodiments for a belt adjustment system. The belt adjustment system can be configured to engage a belt comprising a plurality of belt teeth. The belt engagement system can include a buckle portion that includes a belt clamp configured to couple the belt to the buckle, a lever pivotally movable between a first position and a second position, and a belt-engaging tab, the tooth-engaging tab positionable between a tooth-engaging position and a tooth-disengaging position responsive to the position of the lever on. The belt adjustment system can include a tool housing having a first wall and a second wall that form a slot. A tool comprising a distal end and a proximal end can be coupled to the tool housing, the tool positionable within the slot between a closed position and an open position.

A locking device 1 includes a main body 2, a locking member 3 for locking a tongue 200, a lock releasing operation member 22 operated for releasing the lock of the tongue 200, a tongue guiding and discharging member 41 slid along an insertion direction of the tongue 200 in the main body 2 to guide the tongue 200 until the locking member 3 locks the tongue 200 and discharge the tongue 200 from the main body 2 when the lock of the tongue 200 is released, a power generator 5 having an operation member 53 pushed by the tongue guiding and discharging member 41 and pivotally moved in a plane parallel to the insertion direction of the tongue 200 when the tongue 200 is inserted into the main body 2 and generating electric power by utilizing external force applied through the operation member 53 and a wireless transmitting part 7 driven by the electric power generated by the power generator 5.

A device and system that can be used to assist actuation of a buckle release is disclosed. A device can comprise a first arm and a second arm joined by a U-shaped connecting portion. The device can also comprise a button contact feature. The device can be inserted over a buckle with the button contact feature over a buckle release button, and the device used to assist engagement of the buckle release button by a person operating the device. A system can comprise a device and various additional features or accessories.

An independent buckle release assist device that is a shaped lever that allows a user to gain mechanical advantage to release a typical seat belt release button. The device uses the seat restraint as a leverage point to create the mechanical advantage required to reduce the force of actuating the button. The release assist device is also designed to both stay mounted at least partially around the seat restraint and to be removably mounted to the seat restraint.

A safety device for preventing accidental discharge of an airbag. A lower portion of the safety device includes two opposing sidewalls at least partially defining a cavity for holding a seat belt buckle assembly. An upper portion of the safety devices is hingedly coupled to the lower portion. The safety device also includes a mechanism for securely latching the upper portion to the lower portion and a mechanism for releasing the upper portion from the lower portion when the upper portion is securely latched to the lower portion to allow the upper portion to rotate away from the lower portion.

A buckle release mechanism can be used to couple together various types of straps, webbing or belts. In one particular embodiment, the release mechanism forms part of a parachute canopy for a pilot's harness. The mechanism includes a housing with a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism employs two rotatable locking pins with associated cams and openings. An opening is formed within the housing for receiving a yoke. A striker plate with opposing lugs is formed at one end of the yoke. The lugs cooperate with the locking pins to either retain or eject the striker plate within the housing.

A buckle includes: a plug member which includes support arms formed at both ends in a forward direction of a base, and a support part formed forward from the base between the two support arms; a socket member that includes support chambers formed at both ends where the support arms are inserted, a central chamber formed between the two support chambers and having an open front, a retained part formed at the rear end of the central chamber, and a first magnet embedded inside the central chamber; and a locking member which is rotatably mounted on the support part, and includes a second magnet embedded in the center to correspond with the first magnet when the plug member and the socket member are coupled.
