Sling sliders have a body defining an elongated sling strap passage configured to receive an elongated sling strap, the elongated sling strap passage defined at least in part by an elongated bar having opposed ends, the elongated bar defining an elongated cord passage extending between the opposed ends of the elongated bar, a cord received in the elongated cord passage, and the cord having a received portion within the elongated cord passage and a handle portion extending outside the elongated cord passage such that the handle portion operates to exert a motive force on the body. The sling slider may be a triglide. The body may have three parallel bars, and the elongated bar defining the elongated cord passage may be positioned between a second bar and a third bar. The body may define a pair of elongated sling strap passages on opposite sides of the elongated bar.

A belt has a belt buckle and a belt strap. The belt can be part of a modular belt system that provides multiple straps and/or multiple buckles that can be assembled in different combinations. Preferably, the assembly of a custom belt can be accomplished in an in-store or point-of-sale environment. In some implementations, the strap can be coupled to the buckle without sewing or other processes that require expensive machinery and/or are time consuming. In some implementations, the strap is threaded to the buckle.

A attachment system is formed by a primary device and a secondary device connected to the primary device in a pivoting manner. The primary device has a main body, two lateral sides and a bar for attaching the primary device to another object. Each of the lateral sides has a protrusion extending laterally outward from the lateral sides. The secondary device has two lateral sides, each equipped with an aperture that corresponds to one of the protrusions on the primary device, so that fitting the protrusions into the apertures pivotally connects the primary device to the secondary device, with the lateral sides of the secondary device being disposed outside of the lateral sides of the primary device. The secondary device can be pivoted between a folded position where the secondary device lies against the primary device, and an open position where the secondary device is raised up.

A tension fastener system is provided and includes a plurality of fastener bodies and tie materials. The fastener body includes a head with a webbing strap receiving passageway extending there through from lateral sides thereof, and a distal end having arms positioned opposite the proximal end and a securing feature section on each arm.

Convertible garment systems and related devices and methods are shown and described. In one example, a convertible garment system includes a bathing suit and a pair of detachable-strap-interfaces, each configured to removably connect to the bathing suit's lower straps, and removably connect to the bathing suit's upper straps, thereby creating a second configuration for the pair of upper straps. In another example, a device includes at least one detachable-strap-interface for converting a bathing suit.

A girth strap system for co-operating with a girth for passing under the barrel of an animal to secure a saddle to the back of the animal. The system has a girth strap buckle configured for mounting to a saddle, and a girth strap configured to co-operate with the girth strap buckle to detachably fasten the girth strap to the saddle. The girth strap has a fastening portion at one end and a securing portion at the other end, and the securing portion co-operates with the girth.

An inductor includes a coil having a plurality of coil patterns and external electrodes connected thereto. An innermost coil pattern and an outermost coil pattern in the coil grow using first and second insulating wall as growth guides and the inductor has a structure in which there is no deviation in thickness and shape between the coil patterns.
