The present invention discloses a strap system for securing a payload. The strap system includes a first fastener having a connecting crosspiece, a reversing crosspiece, and a hanger capable of attaching to the payload, and all connected together on each side by lateral members. The strap system also includes a strap attached to the connecting crosspiece of the first fastener and capable of passing around the reversing crosspiece and tightening the strap around the payload.

A mounting system includes a first and second mounting part having a first and second base part with a first and second plurality of first and second locking means respectively, for mounting two components to each other. Each of the locking means is attached to the respective base part and is provided with an attachment part extending from the base part, and a distal part provided as a head portion with at least one engaging section protruding sidewards over the attachment part. The locking means are laterally displaceable in relation to the base part to allow sidewards displacement of the engaging sections for engagement and disengagement of the locking means and thus the first and the second base. In the engaged state, latching means are provided blocking the sidewards displacement of the engaging sections to an extent that a disengagement of the locking means is prevented.

A safety device for equestrian sports uses at least one hook-and-loop fastener for connecting ends of the control lines for guiding a horse such that the ends of the control lines will separate and thereby stop a fallen rider or driver from being dragged by a horse or a horse drawn vehicle.

An exemplary embodiment provides for a conversion kit for a shoe, changing the configuration from lace to strap configuration, wherein the kit contains a strap with hook and loop material attached to the shoe through a shoe lace aperture, a loop piece attached to the shoe through a shoe lace aperture where the strap passes through the loop piece and is pulled taught to secure the shoe to the wearers' foot.

A connector for connecting first and second parts of an apparatus, comprising: an inner region comprising a first anchor point on a first side thereof, the first anchor point being configured to connect the connector to the first part of the apparatus; two, or more, arms extending outward from an edge of the inner region, the arms being formed from a deformable material and configured to connect the connector to the second part of the apparatus; and the inner region further comprising a sliding surface on a second side thereof, opposite the first side, the sliding surface being configured to provide a low friction interface between the inner region and an opposing surface of the second part of the apparatus.

Products, systems and methods are provided for applying a tag or other label/indicia to an item, particularly an item with a circular, elliptical or irregular cross-section. The tag may take various forms. The tags may be secured to a variety of items, e.g., hoses, pipes, equipment, powered industrial units, and the like. The disclosed products, systems and methods allow the tag/label/indicia to be secured relative to the item in an easy and efficient manner. In addition, the securement mechanism includes cooperative mushroom style hooks and loops, and is generally susceptible to only a single use and is disabled and/or ineffectual if the securement is “reversed/undone” and reuse of the securement mechanism is attempted.
