Abstract: A foldable knife, which can be a pocket knife, has a spine with a generally arcuate cutout or indentation, over which is secured a thumb bridge, leaving the indentation open between the spine and the bridge. To open the blade the user extends a thumb below the thumb bridge to pivot the blade out of a slot in the housing. With the blade fully opened, the thumb bridge provides an ergonomic engagement point for the thumb of the user when gripping the handle.

Abstract: A belt buckle primarily for law enforcement or military personnel, for a relatively wide service belt, is of low profile, i.e. narrow from left to right so as to occupy minimal belt span to provide maximum space for equipment to be supported on the belt.

Abstract: A gun sling for carrying a rifle or shotgun is adjustable to serve either as a bungee sling or a fixed-length, non-stretch sling. In a preferred embodiment this is realized with a flexible sheath forming a portion of the sling, with a bungee cord or stretchable strap inside the sheath. With the bungee relaxed the sheath forms a non-stretchable but flexible portion of the sling. When the bungee cord is stretched and tensioned, the sheath gathers and shortens so that the bungee provides for a desired length of stretch.

Abstract: A tactical pair of pants for police, military or other weapon-carrying personnel has a cargo pocket system that functions to store items in several pocket compartments in a normal cargo pocket configuration, or to carry a thigh rig holster for a pistol, in a dedicated position between cargo pocket compartments without blocking access to the pocket compartments.

Abstract: A padlock comprises a shackle, a housing and a combination lock mechanism. The shackle comprises a leg. The housing comprises a first shell and a second shell. The first and second shells co-define a channel for receiving the leg. The first shell has an inner wall formed with a row of first protrusions. The combination lock mechanism comprises a set of teethed sleeves rotatably coupled around the leg of the shackle and a set of numeral wheels rotatably coupled around the teethed sleeves such as to control movements of the leg. The teethed sleeves each defines a first groove corresponding to a respective one of the first protrusions of the first shell. Accordingly, as long as the numeral wheels are dialed to a correct number, all the first grooves of the teethed sleeves are aligned with the first protrusions of the first shell correspondingly so that the leg of the shackle is allowed to move vertically.

Abstract: A padlock can be unlocked by an owner dialing an unlocking number or security personnel using a general key. The padlock includes a lock body, a block, a shackle, a general locking device and a private locking device. The lock body includes a first channel and a second channel therein. The block is inserted in the second channel. The block includes a receptacle therein. The shackle includes a long arm movably disposed in the first channel and a short arm for engagement with the receptacle of the block. The general locking device is disposed in the lock body for locking and unlocking the long arm of the shackle. The private locking means is disposed in the lock body for controlling the block so that the block can be engaged with and disengaged from the short arm of the shackle.

Abstract: The present invention provides an adjustable computer sleeve that can be adjusted to snugly fit computers of various sizes in the computer sleeve. In an exemplary embodiment, the adjustable computer sleeve comprises a first panel, a second panel, and a band. The band has a central portion attached between the first and second panels and two side portions extending from opposite ends of the central portion. The side portions are bendable so that the band can be bent into U-shapes of varying widths to snugly fit computers of various widths in the sleeve in order to provide an adjustable fit for computers of various sizes. The adjustable computer sleeve further comprises adjustable fasteners, e.g., hook and loop fasteners, for fastening the side portions of the band between the first and second panels when the band's U-shape is adjusted to a desired width. The adjustable computer sleeve further comprises a strap that can be adjustably fastened to secure computers of various heights in the computer sleeve.

Abstract: A daypack has a body portion having a pouch and a pair of straps attached to the body portion. Each of the straps has a first, outer side and a second, inner side. Between the first and second sides are a comfort strip and a pad. The comfort strip is positioned between the first and second sides and has a plurality of protuberances formed thereon. The protuberances extend outwardly from the comfort strip in the direction of the first side. The pad is located between the comfort strip and the second, inner side such that the protuberances extend into the pad.

Abstract: A towable, wheeled-backpack includes a towing handle attached to a curved, single-pole, telescoping towing member which retracts into the backpack when not in use. The curvature of the towing member provides support for a backing sheet that is attached to the towing member, and the backing sheet is contoured so that the backpack can be comfortably supported on a wearer's back. A rigid base with wheels is pivotally attached to a bottom end of the towing member. The pivot attachment allows the base and wheels to move independently of the towing member as the bag is worn or as the bag is rolled along the ground.

Abstract: A collapsible item of luggage is provided comprising a rigid back wall. Three non-rigid sidewalls are attached the rigid back wall and to one another to form a rectangular box. An end panel is pivotally attached to a first end of the rectangular box. A retention flange is attached to one of the back wall or the end panel. Finally, a retention rod is attached to the other of the back wall or the end panel. The retention rod is removably attachable to the retention flange such that when the retention rod is attached to the retention flange the end panel is held in an extended position generally directed away from the back wall and when the retention rod is not attached to both retention flanges the end panel may be pivoted to a collapsed position generally adjacent and parallel to the back wall.
