Abstract
A quick-release attachment mechanism includes a body, a strap coupled to the body, and a tab coupled to a free end of the strap. The body includes a first end and a second end, each having a front and rear surface. A strap can be coupled proximate to one of the ends of the body so that a free strap end is hingeably movable with respect to the body. A tab can be coupled to the free end of the strap such that a free end of the tab is positionable between a first and second configuration with respect to the body. In the first configuration, the tab free end is folded over the end of the body such that the body is between the strap and the tab. In the second configuration, the tab free end is folded between the strap and the front surface of the body.
Claims21
A system for quick release of devices to a load bearing carriage comprising:
- a load bearing carriage comprising a carriage webbing;
- a device comprising a device webbing;
- and
- an attachment mechanism adapted for insertion through the carriage webbing and the device webbing thereby securing the device to the load bearing carriage, the attachment mechanism comprising:
- a body having a first end and a second end, each of the first end and the second comprising a front surface and a rear surface;
- a strap coupled proximate to one of the first end and the second end, said strap having a free end having a portion hanging over the one of the first end and the second end;
- a tab comprising a top face, said tab coupled to the free end of the strap such that the tab comprises a free tab end positionable between a first configuration and a second configuration with respect to the body, wherein:
- in the first configuration, the tab free end is folded over the respective one of the first end and the second end such that the rear surface of the body is between the strap and the top face of the tab;
- and
- in the second configuration, the tab free end is folded between the strap and the front surface of the body.
An attachment mechanism for attaching a device to a platform, the attachment mechanism comprising:
- a body having a first end, a second end, a front side, and a rear side;
- a tab coupled to one of the first end and the second end of the body such that the tab is manipulable between a first position and a second position, the first position being in front side of the front side of body and the second position being in front of the rear side of the body.
An attachment mechanism adapted for weaving a device to a platform, the attachment mechanism comprising:
- a body having a first end and a second end, each of the first end and the second comprising a front surface and a rear surface;
- a strap coupled proximate to one of the first end and the second end, said strap having a free end having a portion hanging over the one of the first end and the second end;
- a tab comprising a top face, said tab coupled to the free end of the strap such that the tab comprises a free tab end positionable between a first configuration and a second configuration with respect to the body, wherein:
- in the first configuration, the tab free end is folded over the respective one of the first end and the second end such that the rear surface of the body is between the strap and the top face of the tab;
- and
- in the second configuration, the tab free end is folded between the strap and the front surface of the body.
