Abstract

An accessory for detachably connecting a web-belt to a backpack comprises a unitary element including a base panel joined respectively at first and second fold lines to bottom and top panels, with the top panel in turn being joined at a third fold line to a flap, and with all fold lines being parallel. The base panel has a back surface adapted to be secured to the backpack, and a front surface configured and dimensioned to lie along a back side of the web-belt. The bottom panel is foldable at the first fold line to a position overlying a front surface of the web-belt, the top panel is foldable at the second fold line to overlie the thus folded bottom panel, and the flap is foldable at the third fold line to underlie a rear surface of the base panel. The thus folded flap is detachably secured to the rear surface of the base panel by a Velcro-type fastener or the like.
