Abstract: A cap structure may include a base and a cap, where the base may include a periphery configured to be mounted over a rim of an opening of a container. The base may include a hollow neck, extending from the base for facilitating flow of liquid from the container through and out of the neck. The neck may include a flange extending annularly around the neck, so as to define an annular step. The cap may include a plurality of inwardly protruding projections, configured to snap over the step when the cap is mounted over the neck.

Abstract: A firearm stabilizing device includes a base that is attached or attachable to a garment. The base includes an array of one or more magnets, at least one of the magnets of the array being an attractive magnet configured to cause a firearm magnet that is incorporated into a stock of the firearm to adhere to the base when brought into magnetic range of the attractive magnet. A tether connection structure is configured to enable mechanical suspension of the firearm from the base when the attractive magnet does not cause the firearm magnet to adhere to the base.

Abstract: A tactical vest system may include: a tactical vest; a power unit connected or connectable to the vest comprising a power supply; a sling connected or connectable to the vest for connecting to a rifle and suspending the rifle from a shoulder a user wearing the vest; and an electrical wire connected or connectable at one end of the wire to the power unit and connected or connectable at another end of the wire to electronic device mounted on the rifle, to provide power to the electronic device.

Abstract: A quick release mechanism for an load carriage vest includes a shoulder connector for connecting two sections of the vest at a shoulder region of the vest, and a flank connector for connecting two sections of the vest at a flank region of the vest. Each of the connectors includes comprising interleaveable knuckles. A pair of flexibly connected locking pins is configured to be inserted through the knuckles of one of the connectors when the knuckles of that connector are interleaved so as to engage that connector. The flexibly connected locking pins are configured such that pulling on the pair of flexibly connected locking pins in a single motion removes the pins from the knuckles of the connectors to concurrently disengage the connectors.

Abstract: An adjustable device for supporting a load includes a belt for fastening about a user's waist. A rod includes two rigid elements. One of the elements is longitudinally slidable relative to the other element so as to adjust a length of the rod. A lower end of the rod is attachable to the belt and an upper section of the rod is attachable to a shoulder harness that is placeable on the user's shoulders for carrying the load. A control is operable by the user when carrying the load to unlock a locking mechanism that, when locked, fixes the length of the rod. When the control is operated concurrently with movement of the user's shoulders relative to the user's waist, the length of the rod is changed to adjust a distribution of a weight of the load between the user's shoulders and waist.

Abstract: A load carrier device for enabling a user to carry a load includes a belt for fastening about a waist of the user and an element of substantial vertical rigidity configured to exert a lifting force on the load when the load is attached to shoulder straps on shoulders of the user. The device further includes an adjustable elastic connection attached to the belt for supporting a lower end of the element of substantial vertical rigidity such that adjusting the adjustable elastic connection changes a distribution of a weight of the load between the shoulders and the waist of the user.
