  • Patent number: 10775133
    Abstract: A multi-purpose carrier constructed from a single continuous sheet of material that is folded along a central vertical axis to create opposing top open ends and opposing bottom open ends wherein the left and right sides are further folded towards the central vertical axis to create opposing side walls with a channel at the outer edge of each of the side walls. A torsion spring is funneled through the channels to compress the opposing sides of the device together to create a positive compression grip on the contents carried in the carrier.

  • Patent number: 10352652
    Abstract: A multi-purpose carrier constructed from single continuous sheet of material that is folded along a horizontal axis or a vertical axis in a manner so as to create opposing open top ends and a closed or open bottom end. The opposing left and right sides are folded towards the vertical or horizontal axis in the center of the sheet of material to create opposing left and right channels. The channels have a plurality of apertures located along the outer edge of the channels. A cord or torsion spring is funneled through the channels and apertures to compress the opposing sides of the device together to create a positive compression grip of the contents carried in the carrier.

  • Publication number: 20180153271
    Abstract: A multi-purpose device that can function as both a storage pouch for coins, or other material, and a personal defense weapon. The device includes a pouch that is connected to a handle by at least one flexible member. The device can be folded along the flexible member and securely stored around the belt of a user by connecting the pouch to the handle. The user can quickly disconnect the handle from the pouch and remove the device from their belt. In its open configuration, the user can either (i) access the pouch to store or remove material by opening the zipper closure; or (ii) use the device as a self-defense weapon by gripping the device at the handle and using the movement of their arm or wrist to project the weighted pouch at a person or object.

  • Patent number: 6760570
    Abstract: A waterproof bag system is described for enclosing a portable field radio that includes a transceiver, an antenna, a handset, and antenna and handset cables to join the antenna and handset to the transceiver. The bag system includes a flexible transceiver bag that has a continuous outer wall enclosing an interior transceiver chamber, a sealable transceiver access opening into the chamber, and sealable antenna and handset cable ports extending through said transceiver bag wall for which the antenna and handset can be connected to the transceiver without leakage. The transceiver bag also includes an antenna mount. The handset is separately enclosed by a flexible handset enclosure having an outer wall defining a handset chamber. A sealable cable opening extends through the handset wall. A section of the face of the handset bag is transparent, as is a section of the transceiver bag, permitting viewing of the interior of each bag.
