Belt-worn article carrier apparatus

Abstract

A belt-worn article carrier apparatus includes an elastic cord assembly which includes a first cord end, a second cord end, and an intermediate cord portion between the first cord end and the second cord end. A first article is attached to the first cord end, and a second article is attached to the second cord end. A waist belt assembly includes an adjustable belt portion, end buckles, and a cord-reception wall attached to the adjustable belt portion. The cord-reception wall and the adjustable belt portion define a cord-reception channel. With the apparatus worn on a person, the first article is positioned on one side of the person near one hip, and the second article is positioned on the other side of the person near the other hip. Then, the person can grasp the two articles simultaneously and pull them forward together to contact them together.

What is claimed as being new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent of the United States is as follows:

         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said elastic cord assembly further includes: 
 said first article attachment means connected to said first cord end, and  
 said second article attachment means connected to said second cord end.  
 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 5  wherein said first article attachment means and said second article attachment means include double-sided hook and loop fastener straps.  
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 6  wherein each of said double-sided hook and loop fastener straps includes hooks on one strap side and loops on the opposite strap side.  
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein: 
 the first article is a first antler, and  
 the second article is a second antler.  
 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein: 
 said first article attachment means include a first article attachment loop, and  
 said second article attachment means include a second article attachment loop.  
 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said cord-reception wall includes first grommets which receive said first cord end and said second cord end.  
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further including: 
 an auxiliary elastic cord assembly which includes a first auxiliary cord end, a second auxiliary cord end, and an intermediate auxiliary cord portion between said first auxiliary cord end and said second auxiliary cord end,    first auxiliary article attachment means for attaching a third article to said first auxiliary cord end, and    second auxiliary article attachment means for attaching a fourth article to said second auxiliary cord end.    
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 11  wherein: 
 said third article is a first call unit, and  
 said fourth article is a second call unit.  
 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 11  wherein: 
 said first auxiliary article attachment means include a third article attachment loop, and  
 said second auxiliary article attachment means include a fourth article attachment loop.  
 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 11  wherein said cord-reception wall includes auxiliary grommets for receiving said first auxiliary cord end and said second auxiliary cord end.
