Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 60/766,727, filed Feb. 8, 2006, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- Over the years, numerous systems have been devised for carrying equipment on one's person, particularly in the military and law enforcement area. In this evolution, modular means of carrying equipment have been devised. One of the later systems is referred to as the MOLLE system which is an acronym for modular light weight load-carrying equipment. The system includes the use of some carrying device or garment worn by a user, for example, a vest, waist belt, panel added to a piece of equipment, back pack, fanny pack or the like. The system further involves the provision of a plurality of standardized rows of loops associated with the carrying device and typically formed by a sewn fabric strip with the rows of loops typically being horizontally disposed during normal use. The loops in one row are aligned vertically with loops in adjacent rows. The loops can be made from a woven heavy weight strip of material such as nylon webbing or other suitable means. Typically, straps are utilized to retain some carried device or load, for example, a pouch, holster or the like, to the carrying device. Mounting of a carried device is usually in a manner to provide for removal once attached. An example of a load attachment system can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 6,823,566. Modular carried devices attached to a garment can be selectively changed and re-positioned depending upon the circumstances and the equipment to be carried. Such a system has proven to be very effective in use.
- One major drawback of the current MOLLE attachment systems for mounting a carried device such as a pouch to a vest or the like is that each carried device requires its own attachment device which increases the cost of each carried device. One form of attachment device is a hook and loop attachment assembly but this assembly can be noisy to attach and detach which is a hindrance in certain tactical environments. The hook and loop attachment assembly may also be uncoupled inadvertently. Hook and loop fasteners also add additional labor and costs to the manufacture of the carried device since this assembly must be added to the carried device and such assemblies can wear out over time. Some strap system attachment devices using webbing attachment straps can also allow the carried device to sag and/or flop around.
- There is thus a need for an improved attachment system for attaching devices or loads to MOLLE system loops.
- The present invention involves the provision of a MOLLE system which includes a carrying device, a carried device and an attachment system for releasably connecting the two devices together. The attachment system includes a member having two slots with spaced apart portions for receiving strap webbing therein. The attachment device is sized and shaped to be received through loops in a MOLLE system chain of loops and has sufficient length to bridge at least two vertically separated chains of loops on the carrying device. A strap forming a chain is received in each of the two slots to mount the carried device to the carrying device.
