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 body-carried device includes a receiving bag, two carrying straps, and a heat dissipation system on the backside of the receiving bag. The heat dissipation system has a pump and an airflow guide tube unit. When a user's lower back directly contacts and pushes the pump, the air in the pump is pushed into the main tube and branch tube of the airflow guide tube unit. Some of the air exits the body-carried device through the main tube while the remainder of the air enters the heat dissipation area of the receiving bag through the branch tube. When the user's lower back moves away from the pump, the pump is elastically restored in shape to draw ambient air through the airflow guide tube unit into the pump.

A wearable hitch configured to attach to a person's belt and/or pocket with a lower member capable of receiving a handle from a wheeled article such as a pull golf cart or wheeled luggage. The wearable hitch has a first arm adjacent to a base member defining a first slot. The wearable hitch further comprises a curved second arm attached to the base member that defines a second slot. The second arm comprises a first member that is biased against the base member and an arcuate member.

Devices and methods for providing an integrated belt assembly providing a tie-in point for a safety retention lanyard. In some embodiments, inner and outer belts are provided as coextensive and removably attached. The outer belt has a pass-through window to accommodate a rigger loop of the inner belt.

A lift assist work belt device for facilitating manual transport of a load includes a work belt, which comprises a back portion and a front portion. The back portion and the front portion are selectively mutually engageable to secure the work belt around a waist of a user. A pad, which is attached to an inner surface of the back portion, cushions a back of the user and enhances support to the back that is provided by the work belt. A pair of prongs is attached to the front portion and protrudes outwardly from the work belt upon donning of the work belt by the user. The prongs engage a lower surface of a load carried by the user to shift a center of gravity of the load toward the user.

A duty belt for providing visibility and awareness of the user wearing the belt is disclosed. The belt is worn about the waist and generally provides a lighting element which illuminates in order to improve the visibility and awareness of a person viewed from a distance.
