Abstract

A mounting platform for removable attachment between tunnel segments of parallel webbing, including at least one accessory attachment portion; at least one primary coupling portion extending from the accessory attachment portion; a hook extending from a portion of the primary coupling portion, wherein the hook allows the primary coupling portion of the primary coupling portion to be removably secured to a portion of webbing when the primary coupling portion has been positioned within a tunnel segment of the parallel webbing.

Claims (38)

1. A mounting platform for removable attachment between tunnel segments of parallel webbing, comprising:

at least one accessory attachment portion;

at least one primary coupling portion extending from the at least one accessory attachment portion, wherein each primary coupling portion is formed so as to allow each primary coupling portion to extend into a tunnel segment formed in the parallel webbing;

a hook extending from a portion of the primary coupling portion;

at least two secondary coupling portions, wherein each secondary coupling portion extends from a different side portion of the at least one accessory attachment portion, wherein each secondary coupling portion is formed so as to allow each secondary coupling portion to extend into a tunnel segment formed in the parallel webbing; and

wherein each secondary coupling portion includes a hook extending from a portion of each secondary coupling portion, wherein the hook allows the secondary coupling portion of the secondary coupling portion to be removably secured to a portion of webbing when the secondary coupling portion has been positioned within a tunnel segment of the parallel webbing.

2. The mounting platform of claim 1 , wherein the mounting platform comprises two primary coupling portions.

3. The mounting platform of claim 2 , wherein the two primary coupling portions are substantially parallel.

4. The mounting platform of claim 1 , wherein the accessory attachment portion is substantially planar.

5. The mounting platform of claim 1 , wherein the mounting platform comprises two secondary coupling portions.

6. The mounting platform of claim 1 , wherein the mounting platform is formed of a rigid material.

7. The mounting platform of claim 1 , wherein the mounting platform is formed of a semi-rigid material.

8. The mounting platform of claim 1 , wherein the accessory attachment portion includes a plurality of attachment points.

9. The mounting platform of claim 8 , wherein the spacing and arrangement of the attachment points allows at least one accessory to be mounted to the mounting platform.

10. The mounting platform of claim 8 , wherein the attachment points comprise a plurality of holes formed through the accessory attachment portion.

11. The mounting platform of claim 8 , wherein the attachment points comprise a plurality of apertures formed in the accessory attachment portion.

12. The mounting platform of claim 11 , wherein the attachment points comprise a plurality of protrusions that each extend from the accessory attachment portion.

13. The mounting platform of claim 11 , wherein the attachment points comprise a plurality of threaded portions.

14. The mounting platform of claim 1 , wherein the accessory attachment portion is formed so as to allow a user to attach, form, or create attachment points on the accessory attachment portion.

15. The mounting platform of claim 1 , wherein a terminal portion of the primary coupling portion(s) and/or the secondary coupling portion(s) comprises a curved portion.

16. The mounting platform of claim 1 , wherein the primary coupling portion(s) extend upward from the accessory attachment portion and the secondary coupling portion(s) extend downward from the accessory attachment portion.

17. The mounting platform of claim 1 , wherein the primary coupling portion(s) extend downward from the accessory attachment portion and the secondary coupling portion(s) extend upward from the accessory attachment portion.

18. The mounting platform of claim 1 , wherein the primary coupling portion(s) extend downward from the accessory attachment portion and the secondary coupling portion(s) extend downward from the accessory attachment portion.

19. The mounting platform of claim 1 , wherein the primary coupling portion(s) extend upward from the accessory attachment portion and the secondary coupling portion(s) extend upward from the accessory attachment portion.

20. The mounting platform of claim 1 , wherein an accessory formed as an integral part of the accessory attachment portion.

21. A mounting platform for removable attachment between tunnel segments of parallel webbing, comprising:

at least one accessory attachment portion, wherein the accessory attachment portion includes a plurality of spaced apart holes formed therethrough;

at least one, elongate primary coupling portion extending from the at least one accessory attachment portion, wherein each primary coupling portion is formed so as to allow each primary coupling portion to extend into a tunnel segment formed in the parallel webbing;

wherein each primary coupling portion includes a hook extending from a portion of the primary coupling portion, wherein the hook allows the primary coupling portion of the primary coupling portion to be removably secured to a portion of webbing when the primary coupling portion has been positioned within a tunnel segment of the parallel webbing; wherein the fastening means are capable of extending through the spaced apart holes to engage points of attachment defined on a holster or an accessory carrier; and

wherein a relative angle of the holster or accessory carrier to the accessory attachment portion is adjustable by alignment of the spaced apart holes with the points of attachment defined on the holster or the accessory carrier.

22. The mounting platform of claim 21 , further including at least one, elongate secondary coupling portion extending proximate a side portion of the accessory attachment portion, wherein each secondary coupling portion is formed so as to allow each secondary coupling portion to extend into a tunnel segment formed in the parallel webbing; and

a hook extending from a portion of the secondary coupling portion, wherein the hook allows the secondary coupling portion of the secondary coupling portion to be removably secured to a portion of webbing when the secondary coupling portion has been positioned within a tunnel segment of the parallel webbing.

23. A mounting platform, comprising:

at least one accessory attachment portion;

at least one primary coupling portion extending from the at least one accessory attachment portion;

wherein each primary coupling portion includes a hook extending from a portion of the primary coupling portion;
