  • Publication number: 20100206921
    Abstract: A weapon sling for attaching a long weapon to a user (e.g., via a bullet-proof vest or the like) includes an elastic bungee cord wrapped with a nylon sheath, a connector for reversibly attaching the sling to the weapon secured to one end of the wrapped bungee cord, a quick release clip for reversibly attaching the sling to the user at the other end of the wrapped bungee cord, a pull tab attached to the quick release clip, and a polymer ball attached to the end of the pull tab. Applying tension to the ball opens the clip and releasing the tension closes the clip. The pull tab is designed to open the quick release clip with a single pulling action in almost any direction. The connector and quick release clip are fastened to the bungee using stainless steel ring snaps and an adhesive heat shrink. A tactical weapon attached to the user via the sling with the quick release clip can therefore easily and quickly be removed or attached to the user.

  • Publication number: 20100200627
    Abstract: An ankle holster is provided which can be used to store and transport a tourniquet. The ankle tourniquet holster can feature a flexible strap that can be worn around a body part of a wearer. A pocket can be sewn or otherwise attached to one side of the flexible strap. A tourniquet can be inserted into the pocket of the ankle tourniquet holster. The ankle tourniquet holster can be attached and worn around an ankle of the wearer using one or more fasteners. When worn around the wearer's ankle, the ankle tourniquet holster permits the wearer to easily and quickly access the tourniquet for self-treatment of a bleeding deep wound or to treat another injured person while concealing the presence of the tourniquet and avoiding its interference with weapons or gear that are normally transported via attachment to a belt around the wearer's waist.
