Abstract: A modular quick-release system, an equipment mounting system, a modular vehicle attachment system and a method of securing containers, bags or related articles to one another or other structure. The modular quick-release system has a peg and a clip assembly. The clip assembly includes a top cover, a handle, a base and a cradle. In one form, the modular clipping system is used to provide quick and secure engagement of the container, bag or related article to, and disengagement from, a torso-mountable webbing or a wall-mountable structure such as those found on a vehicle.

Abstract: A clipping apparatus and a stud fitting. The clipping apparatus has a top cover, a midsection having a first grip and a locking mechanism having a second grip. The top cover has elongated arms define a top cover upper surface and which are pivotably secured to one another to define between them a cover opening for receiving a male fitting. The second grip is aligned with the first grip to form a locking opening between them, while the locking mechanism has an open position in which the second grip is at a farther position from the first grip and a closed position in which the second grip is at a closer position to the first grip. A pull handle may be included such that upon activation allows the clipping apparatus to accept the male fitting into the cover opening which upon release of the pull handle locks the male fitting. The stud fitting defines a peg device that can be coupled to the clipping apparatus and an L-track such as those used on a vehicle.

Abstract: A clipping apparatus is disclosed. The clipping apparatus connects on the Z-axis but can be activated for release on either the X or Y-axis. The system also has a self-locking mechanism on the handle to create a secure connection along the Z-axis. It is comprised of a first member comprising a first cavity and a first handle and a second member comprising a second cavity and a second handle. The first member and second member are mated to a spring connection mechanism and a base plate, thereby forming an opening. When the first handle and the second handle are pushed inwards, a male fitting is accepted into the opening and locked into the opening when the first handle and the second handle are released.

The midsection, the pull handle, and the top cover are mated to the base such that the first cavity, the second cavity, and the third cavity are aligned, forming an opening. When the pull handle is activated, a male fitting is accepted into the opening and locked into the opening when the pull handle is released.

Abstract: A configurable bag includes a bag body, a removable faceplate, horizontal and vertical straps, a cover attachment and storage compartments. The bag body has a front panel, a back panel and sides. The removable faceplate extends over at least a portion of the back panel, while the horizontal and vertical straps are formed on the front panel to define a webbed pattern. The cover attachment connects the back panel and the removable faceplate. Upon folding the bag body about its elongate axis, the back panel and attached removable faceplate are folded on themselves to transition the bag body from a first configuration to a second configuration. Each of the storage compartments have corresponding straps that may form an interwoven cooperation with the webbed pattern such that the storage compartments are situated on opposing sides of the foldable bag body while the foldable bag body is maintained in the second configuration.

Abstract: Disclosed is a configurable bag having a main bag compartment defined by a foldable bag body configurable between at least a first configuration and a second configuration via a folding of the bag body, the main bag compartment being accessible via a closable opening disposed in the foldable bag body when in the first configuration. The configurable bag further includes a first securing means and a second securing means affixed to the bag body, wherein the first and second securing means are disposed out of position for connection when the bag body is in the first configuration. The first and second securing means are positioned for connection via folding the bag body into the second configuration. The first and second securing means are configured to secure the bag body in the second configuration when the first securing means is secured to the second securing means.

Abstract: A clipping apparatus is disclosed. The clipping apparatus connects on the Z-axis but can be activated for release on either the X or Y-axis. The system also has a self-locking mechanism on the handle to create a secure connection along the Z-axis. It is comprised of a first member comprising a first cavity and a first handle and a second member comprising a second cavity and a second handle. The first member and second member are mated to a spring connection mechanism and a base plate, thereby forming an opening. When the first handle and the second handle are pushed inwards, a male fitting is accepted into the opening and locked into the opening when the first handle and the second handle are released.

Abstract: A clasp for attaching a component to a bag having a strap. The clasp includes a protrusion portion having a protrusion and a receiving portion having a first arm and a second arm. The first and second arms define a receiving cavity configured to receive the protrusion of the protrusion portion. In one embodiment, the receiving portion further includes a body to which the first arm and second arm are connected by a plurality of flexible connectors. In another embodiment, the first arm is connected to the second arm by a clip. The arms of the receiving portion may each comprise a flexible extension which resists opening of the cavity. Alternatively or in addition, the receiving portion may further have a spring assembly which resists opening of the cavity. The receiving portion may further include one or more C-shaped strap retainers for attaching to the strap of the bag.

Abstract: A clasp including a protrusion portion with a protrusion, and a receiving portion defining a receiving cavity configured to receive the protrusion portion is described. The protrusion is securable in the cavity via frictional fitting of the protrusion into the cavity.
