A video recording device, holster and article of clothing are disclosed to reliably and covertly provide for the capture of video, audio, and metadata, and perform other commands. The holster may be provided with a carrier that is, in turn, inserted into the holster. In one embodiment, the holster may be confirmed as being associated with the video recording device to authenticate a user, and establishes a docked position. Moreover, the video recording device may enter a mode of operation associated with using the video recording apparatus automatically when inserted into a holster.

A device incorporating both a magnet and a living hinge may be employed to construct cases to protect electronic devices and to function as a closure for cases and lidded containers. Such cases often can be bent three 360° allowing the cases to be either closed protecting devices therein are closed upon themselves allowing the case to function to secure an electronic device to a substrate such as an article of clothing. The devices of the disclosure can also be used to organize and hold loose items together.

Provided is a closure device including a first closure part that includes a locking element, a force transmission element operatively connected to the locking element, which can be loaded along a force direction, and an actuating element movable relative to the locking element, and a second closure part that includes an engagement element. The locking element and the engagement element can be attached to each other for connecting the first closure part and the second closure part to each other and are connected to each other in a closed position. In the closed position, when the force transmission element is loaded along the force direction, the locking element is loaded in a locking direction towards contact with the engagement element by the action of force of the force transmission element. The actuating element can be actuated in order to adjust the locking element against the locking direction.

An adapter assembly comprising an adapter plate and a retainer. The adapter plate comprises a substantially planar adapter body, a spaced pair of generally parallel upper for removably securing said adapter assembly to equipment, and a spaced pair of lower legs having a spaced pair of lower tines configured to have a gap there between, wherein the lower tines each comprise a ratchet tooth structure on an exterior surface thereof. The retainer is configured for slideable attachment to the lower tines and for spanning the gap between the lower tines, the retainer comprising a corresponding ratchet tooth on an interior surface thereof configured to engage with the ratchet tooth structure for a one-way slideable locking engagement of the retainer on the lower tines.

An assembly for holding an item includes a bendable strap. A base plate is secured at one end of the bendable strap. The base plate includes a plurality of openings therethrough. Each of the openings has a larger diameter portion and a smaller diameter portion. A clip is secured to the openings in the base plate. A holster or other item may be secured to the clip.

A tool attachment device and method of use designed to create a tool connection enclosure with an integral captive attachment point for securing tools without an integral captive attachment point. Tools without an integral captive attachment point such as hammers, spud wrenches, open-ended wrenches, and tapered handle tools commonly referred to as “waisted” or “necked” tool (tapered mid-section) present a challenge in securing tools for attachment of a connecting device such as carabiners, tool attachment or tool tethers.

A net retaining system includes a base component and a head component. The base component includes a first surface, an opposite second surface, a retention member provided to the first surface and a cradle projecting from the first surface and configured to grip a net rim near a net handle. The head component includes, a first engagement member facing a first direction, a second engagement member facing a second, opposite direction and a column having first and second ends. The first and second engagement members are configured for selective coupling with the retention member of the base component. The column separates the first and second engagement members and is configured to extend through the net handle so as to resist rotation relative to the net handle.
