In some embodiments, a pry bar is shaped to be conveniently worn along the belt by an operator such as a law enforcement officer. The pry bar includes a curved lever arm having a curvature that matches an operator's waist, and a prying ridge extending inward from a longitudinal end of the curved lever arm. The inward orientation of the prying ridge reduces the lever action of the pry bar, but allows the operator to conveniently carry the pry bar on the waist without snagging on external objects.

A system for a tool container including a container assembly and a mounting system assembly is disclosed. The container assembly includes a container that includes a magnetic band along an interior perimeter for attaching tools thereto. The container further includes a handle for ease of transporting the container. Importantly, mounted to the container is the mounting system assembly which includes a hook attached to the handle of the container at one end. The opposite end of the hook is attached to the user, preferably, to a belt of the user. Further, the mounting system assembly includes a strap that is mounted around the leg of the user. The strap is secured with hook and loop fasteners to adjust the strap around the user tightly. The user can carry all materials with the container and keep it secured in place with the mounting system assembly.

The present invention relates in general to portable first aid kits and, in particular, to a low profile first aid kit that is adaptable for a quick release from a carrier and can be easily stored and carried by a person. The design of the disclosed release system allows for the first aid kit to be released with one hand from a carrier with mounting capabilities. Additionally, the medical kit includes a dual purpose carrier strap that can either be wound around the first aid kit and operable to torque the kit for storage purposes when in the closed position, or used to carry the kit in the open position until it can be secured and subsequently stored.

A lanyard device suitable for connecting a tool to a user in use, including a housing at least part of which is adapted to be connected to clothing, belt and/or safety harness. The housing including at least one socket means formed thereon and/or therein, said device also including a flexible lanyard or tether means, at least one end of which is adapted to connect to a tool in use. At least part of the said lanyard means includes a portion to be received and/or engage with said socket means and said socket means shaped and/or orientated such that the flexible lanyard cannot pass freely through said socket means when the user lets go of the tool and/or lanyard.

A bag carrying clamp and method are described using an inner ring providing shape support to a flexible plastic forming the bag to provide a compression surface against which an outer split ring with segmented pressure fingers can be compressed using an overcenter clamp. Strap and belt connections for carrying the ring and the attached bag are also provided.

A tool attachment system is provided. The tool attachment system includes a tool attachment device and a receiver that cooperate to lock or secure, for example, a bag or pouch. When the tool attachment device is coupled to the receiver, a locking mechanism locks the tool attachment device to the receiver in a locked position. To remove the tool attachment device, a user applies a force to a button to cause the tool attachment device to disengage from the receiver.

The present invention relates to a retention assembly and method of use thereof for releasably retaining objects relative to articles of clothing and/or straps of material, especially for use with releasably retaining objects relative to pockets. In one form, the retention assembly includes: a retention tag operatively associated with the object; and a retention device. The retention device includes a body having a first surface and a second surface; a clip operatively associated with the first surface of the body for mounting the body to an article of clothing or a strip of material; and at least one magnetic mount operatively associated with the second surface of the body and configured to magnetically mount the retention tag relative to the body for releasably retaining the object relative to the retention device.

A wallet is provided having a body adapted to hold credit cards, currency, and business cards. The credit cards are insertable to a biased engagement in a first compartment between two flexible members. A second compartment is positioned below the first compartment and configured to hold currency therein in biased contact between a biasing panel and a credit card in the first compartment. A third compartment is provided and configured to hold business cards.

An article holder having a first region with a first curvature, a second region, wherein the second region is continuously formed with the first region, and a third region having a pair of first openings, wherein the third region is continuously formed with the second region. In addition, the second region can include a pair of second openings. The first region can include a third opening. The first region can be at an angle relative to a vertical plane. Further, the first curvature of the first region can extend the length of the first region. In addition, the first region can include a first and second side that at least partially extend outwards from the center of the first region. Further, one side of the first region can include a second curvature that at least partially corresponds to the first curvature of the second region.

A tool bag comprising a base panel, a plurality of sidewalls, a bottom edge connected to the base panel, a first vertical edge and a second vertical edge, each of the sidewalls having an outer surface and an inner surface, a belt flap having a lower portion defining a first horizontal sidewall, the horizontal sidewall connected to the base panel and mounted perpendicular to the first vertical edge on each of the plurality of sidewalls, a removable cover slidably inserted into a vertical groove on the second vertical edge on each of the plurality of sidewalls, the removable cover when inserted forming a second horizontal sidewall, and a third horizontal wall connected to the inner surface on each of the plurality of sidewalls and inserted between the belt flap defining the first horizontal sidewall and the removable cover defining the second horizontal sidewall.
