Holstering retractor devices or systems for securing a device or instrument when not in use, such that the instrument does not have to be held or slid into a pocket. The systems are coupled with a retracting device, integrated into the holster, such that if said instrument or device pops out of holster, or is dropped while in use, it is not lost or damaged. The present invention is also directed to systems utilizing the holster retractors, such as vest system having the holster retractor mounted to the vests.

An attachment system for attaching a holder to a carrier includes a platform having an outwardly facing side, an opposite back side, and laminated layers of any of a variety of materials and having a plurality of slits therethrough defined and bound by edges of the layers fused together to have increased stiffness, wear and abrasion resistance, the slits arranged in a predetermined pattern of aligned and spaced apart rows, the slits being configured to receive straps therethrough between the outwardly facing side and the back side to attach the holder to the carrier. As an exemplary embodiment the carrier can be configured for carrying the holder on a user's body, for instance as a vest, a cummerbund, a shirt, pants, a backpack, or a belt, and the holder can be configured for holding a variety of useful articles, accessories, and the like.

A shoulder transfer weight support generally having a hip or waist belt, a back support, and one or more shoulder extensions. The back support has an upper back plate attached to the shoulder extensions and a lower back plate attached to one or more hip belts. The lower back plate features a bracket shaped to receive an end of the attachment bar that joins it to the upper back plate. A spring-loaded plunger can be inserted into the attachment bar to allow for height adjustment of the device. A face shield at least partially made of a radiopaque material and can attach to the back support. One attachment option is a yoke mount with vertical sections at either end of the yoke mount. A second option involves a mount that attaches to the shoulder extension(s). The device can use a full face shield or a face shield with an open front.

A customizable ergonomic load-carrying vest-pack for goods of a person, including an adjustable belt system with an adjustable-length belt configured to encircle the waist of the person and a pair of adjustable shoulder supports. A middle portion of the pair of adjustable shoulder supports is spaced apart and adjustably joined together by a substantially horizontal adjustable-length chest strap that selectively secures the middle portion together and is selectively vertically adjustable in pre-defined vertical slots. An angularly extending adjustable-length shoulder strap connects with the left side or the right side of the adjustable belt system and is selectively horizontally adjustable in pre-defined horizontal slots located in the adjustable belt system. Collectively adjusting each of the adjustable-length belt, the substantially horizontal adjustable-length chest strap and each angularly extending adjustable-length shoulder strap enables a customized fit for the vest-pack to the person.

A blower may include: a volute case defining a suction port, a volute chamber, and a discharge port; an impeller rotatably supported within the volute chamber; a motor connected to the impeller and configured to drive the impeller; and an outer case accommodating the suction port of the volute case and the motor. The outer case may include an external suction port and define an air passage extending from the external suction port to the suction port of the volute case. When the blower is held or worn in a predetermined posture by a user, the external suction port of the outer ease may be configured to be located so as to be open vertically downward.

A magazine retention device includes an attachment pouch and an insert. The attachment pouch includes a front panel, a rear panel opposing the front panel, and an attachment portion. The front panel is secured to the rear panel forming a cavity between the front panel and the rear panel. The attachment portion is configured to attach to a carrier. The insert is disposed within the cavity and secured to the attachment pouch. The insert has an first region and a second region. The first region includes a rectangular opening configured to receive a magazine. The second region includes one or more walls that bias toward a center of the cavity. Here, the one or more walls bias in contact with a received magazine.

A tool tethering device that includes a lockable shaft having a cylindrical shaped body with a protruding member located proximal a first end and extending perpendicular from the cylindrical shaped body, a rigid sleeve housing having a cylindrical shaped cavity located within and extending from an open end to a closed end of the rigid sleeve housing, a protruding member engaging slot extending from and running parallel the cylindrical shaped cavity, a ball bearing engaging groove located within the cavity, a protruding member locking groove located within the sleeve housing proximal the closed end of the housing and extending perpendicular the cavity, and a displaceable platform located within the cylindrical shaped cavity between the protruding member locking groove and the closed end of the rigid sleeve housing, the displaceable platform supported by a spring located between the platform and the closed end of the rigid sleeve housing.

A bag set comprises a first bag unit combined with a second bag unit. The first bag unit includes a main bag body and a strap set. The main bag body has two first fasteners disposed on an outer surface. The strap set includes a first strap component having two ends connected with the main bag body, and a second strap component having a loop structure and one end connected with the main bag body. The second bag unit has two second fasteners to be attached to or disassembled from the two first fasteners selectively. When in use, the first strap component is hung diagonally on a shoulder of a user; and the second strap component is extended forward from the waist of the user to make the loop structure positioned in front side of the user, to pass the first strap component through the loop structure.
