Abstract
A D-ring, comprising a body having a first surface and a second surface and a plurality of apertures formed through first and second surfaces. The D-ring comprises two or more separate rated apertures for receiving a device or a connector to a device. A first aperture is formed through the first and second surfaces and positioned on the distal portion of the body. A second aperture is formed through the first and second surfaces such that the second aperture is adjacent to the first aperture. Additionally, there is a belt receiving aperture formed through said first and second surfaces positioned on the proximal portion of the body.
Claims18
A body belt assembly, comprising:
- a body pad comprising a surface;
- and
- a first D-ring positioned adjacent to the surface of the body pad, wherein the first D-ring comprises:
- a body having a first surface and a second surface extending in spaced relation to one another and further comprising a proximal portion, a distal portion, and a central longitudinal axis;
- a main body area defined between a first outer portion extending substantially along a first plane and a second outer portion extending substantially along a second plane substantially parallel to the first plane;
- a body extension area extending from the second outer portion of the main body area;
- a first aperture having a first diameter formed through said first and second surfaces positioned on the distal portion of the body within the main body area;
- a second aperture having a second diameter formed through said first and second surfaces such that the second aperture is adjacent to and offset from the first aperture being positioned in between the distal and proximal portions of the body wherein the majority of the second aperture is positioned outside of the main body area wherein the first diameter is larger than the second diameter;
- and
- a first receiving slot extending along a first receiving slot longitudinal axis from a first end to a second end thereof, wherein the first receiving slot longitudinal axis extends at an angle to the central longitudinal axis of the body and wherein the first receiving slot is positioned proximally to the first aperture and wholly positioned within the main body area.
