A system for interfacing with an operator's body for distributing forces to the operator's body received by the system from a function unit. The system includes a frame and a plurality of contact units connected to the frame which are positioned and communicate with the operator's torso to distribute the received forces. The plurality of contact units each include a first and second support having an elastic body positioned therebetween which allows relative movement between the first and second supports.

A supply drop assembly for delivering one or more payloads via an aerial vehicle, the assembly comprising a payload body configured to receive a payload; and one or more wings attached to the payload with a connector or integral to the one or more wings; wherein when the supply drop assembly is dropped from the aerial vehicle, the one or more wings start rotating thereby generating lift and slowing the rate of descent of the payload as it falls downwards to a recipient.

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.

An electronic device positioning apparatus enabling hands free cellphone use includes a belt, an arm, and an adapter. The belt is positionable around and engageable to a waist of a user and thus securable to the user. The arm is engaged by a first terminus thereof to the belt. The arm comprises a plurality of sections, each of which is selectively and fixedly positionable relative to adjacent sections. The arm is reversibly positionable in a selected position so that a second terminus of the arm is located as desired by the user. The adapter is engaged to the second terminus of the arm and can engage an electronic device of the user to engage the electronic device the arm. The user can then position the arm in the selected position so that a display of the electronic device is conveniently viewable.

Disclosed is a quick release tool belt for the waist of a user, which includes a support strap, a release band with belt teeth on a first end and a binding with a release mechanism on the second end and slidably coupled to the release band. The binding has a base, a release rotationally attached to the base with a tooth lock, a tooth coupling rotationally attached to the base and engaged with the release and the release band, and a lever rotationally attached to the release and engaged with the release band with a tightening tooth. When the release is in the engaged position the tooth coupling and the lever are engaged with the release band and when the release is in the release position, the tooth coupling is operably engaged with the release and the tooth coupling and the lever are disengaged with the release band.

A method for forming a textile strap and the resulting textile strap includes forming a textile matrix by stacking in alternating order at least one first material layer on at least one second material layer. The at least one first material layer is bonded to the at least one second material layer in a manner to fix the at least one first material layer to the at least one second material layer. A plurality of apertures are cut into the formed textile matrix. The apertures are cut in from an edge of the textile matrix inward such that the resulting textile matrix with defined apertures is predictably flexible in each of two directions. The the resulting textile matrix with defined apertures is sheathe in a formed knit outer layer configured to substantially enclose the resulting textile matrix with defined apertures. The knit outer layer is bonded to the textile matrix.

A paint gun holster assembly includes a belt that can be worn around a user's waist. A pad is integrated into the belt and the pad is worn around the user's waist. A pair of holsters is each positioned on the pad and each of the holsters receives a respective one of a pair of paint guns to inhibit the paint guns from being dropped. A pair of retractors is each slidably positioned on the belt and each of the retractors includes a cord extending outwardly from the retractors. The cord on each of the retractors is biased into the retractors and the cord on each of the retractors is urgeable outwardly from the retractors. A pair of claws is each coupled to the cord associated with a respective one of the retractors. Each of the claws is engageable to a handle of a respective one of the paint guns to secure the paint guns to the belt.

A waist mountable article carrying belt is also attachable about a jug. Two separate components combine together to create the belt, a base which includes a variety of compartments, slots, bands, and other devices designed to facilitate the carrying of various items, and a separate band with adjustable features allowing adjustment of its length. The band also includes fasteners at each end that are complementary to the fasteners on the ends of the base so that the band may be coupled to the base. The preferred jug includes an integrally molded handle and includes an opening between the handle and jug body that allows the band to be passed through the opening when fastening the base and band to the periphery of the jug.

A rapid access pouch system includes an outer pouch having an inner storage compartment defined by a front surface, a back surface, two closed side surfaces, an open end, and a closed end. An inner tray is sized and shaped to fit within the inner storage compartment. The inner tray is semi-rigid. The inner tray includes a handle that protrudes out of the open end of the inner storage compartment when the inner tray is positioned inside the outer pouch. The open end of the outer pouch comprises a closing mechanism operably adapted for rapidly converting the outer pouch between an open configuration and a closed configuration. One or more outer storage pockets are fixedly attached to the front surface of the outer pouch, and the outer storage pockets have openings that are adjacent to the closed end of the outer pouch.
