A buckle according to the present invention has two opposing ends that are removably attached to each other using a locking system. On one end of the buckle, the locking system includes two opposing locking pins coupled to a spring that is fully enclosed and protected from external elements. On the other end, corresponding rivets or pin casings with plungers are operable to receive the locking pins and lock the two ends together or push the pins out of the casings to release the buckle. The buckle may also include a plug that is removably attached to the adjustable loop end and allows the central bar of the adjustable loop end to be removed without deforming the central bar. Alternatively, each end of the buckle may include self-aligning tabs that guide the ends of the buckle for fastening and aid in the stability of the buckle.

Belt buckle

A firearm holster for securely enclosing a firearm is provided. A spring biased triggering lever is pivotally secured to the holster. A slider attached to the firearm holster slides on the slider base from a locked position to an unlocked position upon pressing the triggering lever. A spring-biased resettable drop lock is pivotally connected to a resettable drop lock mount attached to the holster and extends into an ejection port of a firearm secured in the firearm holster. The resettable drop lock pivots out of the ejection port of the firearm in the firearm holster by contact with the slider as the slider moves from a locked position into an unlocked position. A secondary lock includes a helical lock shaft disposed within a secondary lock body and extends from the lock body to rotate a secondary lock from a locked position to an unlocked position.

Firearm holster

A buckle having an adjustable loop end forming a primary plane with opposing side walls. The adjustable loop end has a central bar positioned between a first strap opening and a second strap opening. A pair of slots operable to receive the terminal ends of the central bar are recessed into the interior surface of the opposing side walls with the bottom edges of the slots being longer than the top edges. A pair of tabs on opposite ends of the central bar extend outward from the central bar along a longitudinal axis of the primary plane and towards the second strap or belt opening. Optionally, a protrusion extends from a lower surface of the fixed loop end wherein the protrusion is positioned at a right angle with respect to a vertical axis of the primary plane.

A portable, resealable storage container and a method for manufacture are provided. The container includes a body having a bottom opposite an opening, and sidewalls attached to the bottom, wherein the body defines a storage cavity. A top having an attachment band and a flap operable to connect to and disconnect from the attachment band covers the opening of the body when connected to the body. A ridge is disposed along an outer surface of the sidewalls and is configured to provide a seat for the attachment band of the top. A mating surface disposed at an upper end of the sidewalls above the ridge and is operable to contact the attachment band of the top. When the top is positioned to sit atop the ridge, the attachment band is in substantially continuous contact with the mating surface. The top is securely fastened to the body.

Device and method for securing fabric to a rigid material

A T-Nut comprising a tubular body attached to a flanged head is provided. The tubular body includes a bottom portion of constant diameter and an upper neck portion with a neck diameter that gradually increases as it approaches the flange head. Additionally, the bottom surface of flange head of the T-Nut may be recessed inwardly towards the top surface of the flange head to create circumferential concave cavity underneath the flange head, which will allow the flange head to envelope any portions of a washer or casing that may be above the surface of the material being joined.

T-Nut

A buckle according to the present invention has a fixed loop end and an adjustable loop end. The adjustable loop end includes two belt strap openings separated by a central bar with a pair of guiding tabs on opposite ends of the central bar that extend outward from the central bar. Other embodiments of the buckle include a protrusion extending from a lower surface of the fixed loop end. In other embodiments, the adjustable loop end and central bar are configured to have male and female joint portions to aid in preventing unnecessary rotation of the buckle. Optionally the adjustable loop end may include a scalloped lip along its leading edge of the lower surface.

The present invention describes an adjustable holder used primarily to secure substantially cylindrical objects to the person, clothing, or gear of a user. For the preferred embodiment, the holder is a substantially cylindrical casing comprising: a substantially curved front wall, the substantially curved front wall further comprising two portions and a helical opening, where the helical opening separates the two portions of the substantially curved front wall; an opposing back wall; a closed bottom end; an open top end; and an interior compartment wherein the substantially curved front wall is connected to the opposing back wall, the closed bottom is connected to both the substantially curved front wall and the opposing back wall, and the substantially curved front wall, the opposing back wall, and the closed bottom collectively form the interior compartment; and wherein the two portions of the substantially curved front wall are connected by the fastener.

Adjustable holder

A clip for securing articles to a belt with a semi-flexible central tear drop shaped bend portion having opposite spaced apart ends; an upper leg and a longer lower leg comprised of a rigid or semi-rigid material and connected to the opposite spaced apart ends of the central portion and extending in a generally parallel relationship therefrom; and a locking collar member operable to either attach only to the end of the longer lower leg in a first open position or attach to both legs in a second closed position.
