Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a device for detachably securing objects to an article of clothing, such as a vest, jacket, trousers or corresponding garment. The device comprises a carrier part having a substantially horizontal support or carrier surface which merges with preferably parallel and mutually spaced upstanding limbs possessing resilient spring-like characteristics. The limbs form an angle with the carrier part and merge, distal from the carrier part, with respective arms, which form angles with the limbs and extend in mutually opposite directions. The arms are intended to coact detachably with loops, eyes, or functionally equivalent means provided on the item of clothing.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
An arrangement for removably attaching an article of clothing to a holder for holding objects, said arrangement comprising: an intermediate portion having a horizontally positioned holder member and two oppositely positioned connecting members extending substantially perpendicularly from said holder member, said holder member being disposed to receive an object to be held, the connecting members each having a top portion connected to an angular member such that an angle of from 75° to 100° is formed between each connecting member and the respective angle member, the angular members being spaced apart and aligned so that they are substantially oppositely positioned, the holder member, the connecting members, and the angular members being formed from a single predetermined length of material having spring characteristics, and two loop means positioned horizontally apart on the article of clothing such that the longitudinal axes of the loop means are substantially coextensive, and angular members being adapted to being inserted into said loop means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
