An apparatus for inflating an air bag of a protection device. The apparatus includes a canister including a first compartment and a second compartment. The first compartment is adapted to contain a compressed gas. A seal is between the first compartment and the second compartment which is adapted to seal the compressed gas inside the first compartment. The second compartment includes a two-step mechanism configured to break the seal to cause thereby an initial gas flow from the first compartment into the second compartment. The initial gas flow causes a wide opening in place of the seal to be created for rapid gas flow through the second compartment and into the air bag to rapidly expand the air bag.

A wearable, access-control management and storage device includes a belt loop including opposed connectable ends, the belt loop being adjustable in size; a pouch module coupled to the belt loop, the pouch module including an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface of the pouch module defining a first storage compartment having an opening and the outer surface defining a front side and a back side of the pouch module; and a plurality of key holders disposed within the first storage compartment of the pouch module, each of the plurality of key holders configured to receive and hold at least one key. The back side of the pouch module includes at least one aperture configured to receive the belt loop.

A carrier pouch includes a pouch section, and a carrier attachment assembly coupled with the pouch section. The carrier attachment assembly enables a wearer to carry the carrier pouch with hands-free mobility, and includes a rigid assembly and a number of elastic bands, with the rigid assembly being elongated and having a proximal end and a distal end as extremities thereof. The distal end of the rigid assembly comfortably tucks in an inner side of a waistband of a garment worn by the wearer. The number of elastic bands extends across and over or under the rigid assembly to enable positioning of the carrier attachment assembly coupled with the pouch section on a limb of the wearer or the waistband of the garment. The rigid assembly is movable outside or inside the number of elastic bands to attach the carrier pouch on a waist or the limb of the wearer.

A thermally insulated fanny pack containment system provides secure containment of temperature sensitive articles in either hot or cold environments by utilizing a rigid double wall bin portion that has an insulating gap between the inner and outer walls. A cover, which is also rigid double wall construction is configured to extend over the top opening of the bin portion and latch down to secure the cover over the bin portion. A belt is coupled to the bin portion and is configured to extend around a person's waist. One or more detachably attachable thermal liners that are chilled or heated may be configured to fit within the bin portion to control the temperature within the interior of the bin portion enclosure. The thermal liners may have fasteners for securing an article within the bin portion. A bottle-in-bottle may be utilized to prevent moisture exposure to contents therein.

A sports belt comprises two sections of material removably attached to each other at their ends to form a loop or belt for wearing at the waist of a user. One of the sections of material may be attached at its ends to form a loop suitable for wearing as an arm band. Either or both sections may include a pouch for securely carrying small items such as keys or a cellphone.

Implementations of an auto-foldable pouch are provided. In some implementations, the auto-foldable pouch comprises an auto-foldable portion and a closure portion that form a pouch enclosure that can receive and hold an item.

In some implementations, a method of using the auto-foldable pouch comprises unrolling the pouch, opening the pouch, inserting one or more items into the pouch, and closing the pouch to securely hold and enclose the items.

Disclosed are an apparatus and/or a method of a quick attachment carrier assembly of a container to enable free movement of a body of a wearer and hands-free utilization through multiple attachability options. In one aspect, a carrier attachment assembly includes an elongated flap, a first elastic band, and a second elastic band. The elongated flap has a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end of the elongated flap fits between a waist of a wearer and a waistband of a garment being worn by the wearer. The elongated flap is movable inside and/or outside the first elastic band and the second elastic band when the wearer manipulates the elastic bands and/or the elongated flap. The elongated flap is moved outside and/or inside to attach the container coupled with the carrier attachment assembly on the waist and/or the arm of the wearer respectively.

Aspects herein are directed to a stowable garment system that allows for quick deployment and donning of an upper-body garment that is stowed within a pouch located on the front of a belt structure configured to encircle the waist of a wearer. The garment comprises at least a front section and a back section, where a portion of the front section is attached to the pouch. The garment further comprises a first tab extending from a bottom margin at a first side of the back section and a second tab extending from the bottom margin at a second opposite side of the back section. When stowed within the pouch, the tabs extend through one or more openings in the pouch. The wearer may exert tension on the tabs to actuate a quick-release mechanism and enable the garment to be deployed and donned.

A method and apparatus for transporting a wheeled case, such as an article of luggage, utilizing a belt with a connector positioned below the equator of the belt to secure the wheeled case to the user's back is provided. The apparatus may connect the handle of the wheeled case to the user's back and may allow the user to maneuver the wheeled case behind his or herself without further use of their hands.
