Quick release garment mounted bag system

Abstract

A storage bag is secured to a conventional garment such as a vest by a novel attachment system. A securing strap is interlaced through interdigitated fabric loops located on both the storage bag and the garment. The securing strap is permanently secured to the bag. The securing strap is configured to release the storage bag from the garment by a simple pulling of the strap away from the garment, the storage bag being drawn away, upon separation, by the securing bag. The system allows one-handed release and separating of a storage bag secured to a garment.

1 . A system for releasably securing an article to a garment, comprising:
 a garment having a plurality of garment loops at a lower portion of the garment;   an article having a plurality of attachment loops at an upper portion of the article; and   a securing strap having at a free end an attachment device configured to enclose a plurality of portions of the securing strap, the securing strap being configured to secure the garment to the article in a secured condition via the garment loops and attachment loops,   wherein in the secured condition, the garment loops and attachment loops are linearly aligned to form a linear path and the securing strap is positioned within the garment loops and attachment loops along the linear path.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the garment is a vest. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the article is a fabric bag. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the attachment device is a snap device having a first and second side formed by the bisection of the snap device with the securing strap, the attachment device configured to provide an open position and a closed position. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein in the secured condition, the snap device is in the closed position such that the first and second side oppose each other to maintain the securing strap therebetween. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the snap device maintains the closed position via a magnet included in one of the first and second sides. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein in the secured condition, the securing strap is passed twice through the garment loops and the attachment loops to form a securing loop. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the snap device secures the garment to the article by enclosing the securing loop and the free end within the first and second sides. 
     
     
         9 . A system for releasably securing an article to a garment, comprising:
 a garment having a plurality of garment loops at a lower portion of the garment;   an article having a plurality of attachment loops at an upper portion of the article; and   a securing strap having at a free end an attachment device configured to enclose a plurality of portions of the securing strap, the securing strap being configured to secure the garment to the article in a secured condition via the garment loops and attachment loops,   wherein   in the secured condition, the garment loops and attachment loops are linearly aligned to form a linear path and the securing strap is positioned within the garment loops and attachment loops along the linear path,   the attachment device is a snap device having a first and second side formed by the bisection of the snap device with the securing strap, the attachment device configured to provide an open position and a closed position,   in the secured condition, the snap device is in the closed position such that the first and second side oppose each other to maintain the securing strap therebetween,   the snap device maintains the closed position via a magnet included in one of the first and second sides,   in the secured condition, the securing strap is passed twice through the garment loops and the attachment loops to form a securing loop,   the snap device secures the garment to the article by enclosing the securing loop and the free end within the first and second sides.   
     
     
         10 . A method for releasably securing an article to a garment, comprising:
 linearly aligning a plurality of garment loops affixed to a garment and a plurality of attachment loops affixed to an article;   interweaving a securing strap along a linear path within the plurality of garment and attachment loops formed by the linear alignment, the interweaving including interweaving a portion of the securing strap twice within the linear path thereby forming a securing loop;   aligning a portion of the securing loop with a free end of the securing strap; and   securing the garment to the article by enclosing and maintaining the securing loop with the free end of the securing strap via an attachment device.
