The present disclosure relates to a coat carrier for conveniently carrying a coat when the coat is not being worn by the user. The coat carrier comprises a base panel and two side panels pivotally connected to the base panel. The side panels are movable between an open position for loading a coat into the coat carrier and a folded position forming a carrying case with open ends configured so that the coat extends outwardly from the open ends of the coat carrier when the coat is loaded into the coat carrier. A pair of handles are attached to the upper edges of respective side panels. A closure mechanism is provided for releaseably securing the side panels in the folded position when the coat carrier is in use to carry a coat.

A fastener has an elastic body that extends to opposed ends, and a three dimensional sphere-like head connected to each of the ends of the elastic body. A plurality of apertures are formed through the elastic body, sized to enable one of the three dimensional sphere-like heads to be pushed through the aperture for securing the fastener. The fastener may be wrapped around two elements, and the head or heads may each be inserted through one of the apertures so that the fastener secures the two elements together.

a first plurality of vertically spaced apart horizontal rows of flexible material attached at intervals to the back panel of the vest defining a sequence of vertically oriented loops, a pad having means for connection to an accessory pouch, a second plurality of vertically spaced apart horizontal rows of flexible material attached at intervals to the pad defining a sequence of vertically oriented loops, whereby the second plurality of rows is adapted to engage the vertical spaces between the first plurality of rows where the loops in the second plurality of rows are laterally offset from the loops in the first plurality of rows by a distance equal to the thickness of the webbing, a pair of retaining straps comprising the legs of a U and having an interconnecting base member and where the legs are each interlaced sequentially through the offset loops of the first and second plurality of rows, a release strap having proximal and distal ends carried within one shoulder panel and having a pull ring attached to the proximal end and where the distal end is attached to the base member of the U.

An equipment bag attachment mechanism detachably secures two equipment bags to each other for easy collective or individual transport. In embodiments, the equipment bags may be selected from among a helmet bag, a boot bag, and a grooming bag. In embodiments, the mechanism includes a first attachment mechanism portion that includes a pair of opposed tongues, one of the tongues having a downwardly extending protrusion, and a second attachment mechanism portion that includes a loop that seats between the opposed tongues and is limited by the protrusion to hold the two mechanism portions together.

A protective case may comprise a first portion, a second portion rotatably coupled to the first portion at a first point, a latching mechanism configured to detachably couple the first portion to the second portion at a second point located opposite the first point, and a cable configured to retain at least one object within an interior portion of at least one of the first portion and the second portion. The at least one object may be at least one of a protective face mask and at least one replaceable filter.

Systems, methods, and articles for a portable power case are disclosed. The portable power case is comprised of at least one battery and at least one PCB. The portable power case has at least two access ports, at least two leads, or at least one access port and at least one lead and at least one USB port. The portable power case is operable to supply power to an amplifier, a radio, a wearable battery, a mobile phone, and a tablet. The portable power case is operable to be charged using solar panels, vehicle batteries, AC adapters, non-rechargeable batteries, and generators. The portable power case provides for modularity that allows the user to disassemble and selectively remove the batteries installed within the portable power case housing.

The field of invention relates to wearable retainers, and more particularly pertains to a new and improved eyewear retainer apparatus (100) wherein the same permits securement of ornamental indicia such as hatpins (110), lapel pins, trading pins and the like thereto. The magnetic multipurpose wearable retainer (100) has a cylindrical cavity (240) configured to releasably retain the nail portion (315) of said ornamental indicia. Said wearable retainer (100) attaches to shirts (900), hats (1200), jackets (1000), and other articles of clothing and accessories (1100). A hoop constructed of a length of fishing wire (120) is attached thereto said wearable retainer (100) for releasably securing eyewear (125). An earpiece (135) of said eyewear (125) is hooked through said hoop (120) until said eyewear lug (140) rests on said hoop (120), thus suspending said eyewear (125) therefrom. The embodiments disclosed herein retain ornamental nail bearing type indicia while keeping eyewear (125) and other items releasably attached thereto within easy reach.

A travel accessory is provided for carrying and protecting multiple objects including luggage, documents, and other personal items. The travel accessory may include a mounting aspect with mounting panels, attachment aspect with straps, and storage aspect. Electromagnetic shielding may reduce communication of radio frequency transmissions. A method for carrying and protecting multiple objects, luggage, documents, and personal items using the travel accessory is also provided.

A personal shoe bag includes a main body having at least two protective shoe zones configured to receive and carry respective two personal shoes. Each protective shoe zone includes a wall with an image of a shoe visually indicating where to place, and how to orient, each of the two personal shoes. A first example shoe bag includes a single strap for a user to carry the shoe bag. A second example shoe bag includes two straps with a clip at the end of each strap. The clip can be removably attached to another separate personal carrying bag to facilitate carrying the shoe bag along with the other separate personal carrying bag.

The present disclosure relates to an improved Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment (MOLLE) system that employs hard-shells and a method of making thereof. The disclosed hard-shell MOLLE system not only provides better durability for the MOLLE system, but also allows the MOLLE system to apply on hard objects such as thermoformed/molded backpacks, bags, vehicle panels and containers etc.
