There are also disclosed a number of desirable optional features of the novel invention which can be used in combination with the disclosed retaining device and associated container or the like, or alone—the features in combinations together, alone, etc.

Abstract: An improved harness or harness-like garment for purposes of making the user more visible and/or with optional pocket or item(s) carrying means, having strap or straps or strap-like element(s) configured in two substantially “Y” or “V” shaped forms or one of each; the tops of the substantially “Y”-shaped and/or “V”-shaped forms are joined together, fused or one part; the bottoms of the substantially “Y” and/or “V”-shaped forms are fastened, joined fused or in one part to a waist strap forming means so that they meet the waist strap forming means at substantially 180 degrees from each other around the somewhat circular waist strap forming means; the waist strap forming means preferably having closure means.

Abstract: A moisture/heat channeling/wicking and vented waist pouch or pack adapted for use by an individual wherein the pack can be worn securely around the waist specifically to contain and/or carry items such as; personal electronics, cell phones, music electronics and any other personal items needed. The pack is secured to the waist by means of two waist straps attached to both ends of a pouch container element comprised of front and rear panels attached at their periphery with a recloseable opening and/or plurality of pockets to insert items to be contained. The front side and rear panels use moisture wicking and ventilation enhancing materials, constructed, connected and configured together creating evaporative channels which take or remove moisture absorbed through the back panel of the pouch, from the users body, and channels it for evaporation, through airation, to areas of the pouch which do not touch the users body directly.

Abstract: A container detachably securable to an article of clothing or other item. The container includes a first panel and a second panel. The first and second panels are attached at their peripheral edges to form a pouch with an opening thereto. The pouch defines exterior and interior surfaces. The container further includes a clamp secured to the pouch for detachably securing the container to an article of clothing or other item. The container still further includes a flap extending from the second panel adjacent the opening to the pouch. The flap folds over the exterior surface of the first panel and the clamp secured thereto, is fastenable to the clamp, and is liftable to open the pouch while the clamp remains secured to the exterior surface of the first panel.

Abstract: A container which is safely and detachably securable to one's person on an article of clothing, commonly a waistband, or attached to another item to provide secure containment of personal articles, portability and convenience. A pocket is formed as a container cavity with re-sealable fastening means to retain items inside the cavity. A secure clamping mechanism is affixed to the outer wall of the container to enable the container to be detachably secured to apparel and other items. Preferably, the clamp utilizes a locking, leveraged compression clamp mechanism. Formed from the pocket or container is a clamp cover or hood which hides the clamp when the container is worn on the inside of a waistband and further aids in actuating the clamp mechanism. Formed from the back panel of the container is a flap which extends over the cavity opening and press fastens to the clamp hood providing secondary closure means and greater accessibility to the cavity or its contents.
