Abstract

Provided is a system for securing implements such as tools, gear and the like, comprising: a mountable base adapted to be secured to a wall or ceiling comprising one or more first coupling devices/acceptors; and one or more looped strap devices, the looped strap devices comprising a loop of strap fixed to a second coupling device/acceptor adapted to engage a said first coupling device/acceptor, wherein the loop of strap is sized to allow the first coupling device/acceptor to be threaded through the loop to enclose and engage one of a range of implements.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A system for securing implements such as tools, gear and the like, comprising: 
 a mountable base adapted to be secured to a wall or ceiling comprising one or more first coupling devices/acceptors; and    one or more looped strap devices, the looped strap devices comprising a loop of strap fixed to a second coupling device/acceptor adapted to engage a said first coupling device/acceptor, wherein the loop of strap is sized to allow the first coupling device/acceptor to be threaded through the loop to enclose and engage one of a range of implements.    
   
   
       2 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 packaging or promotional material for the mountable base and looped strap device(s) that displays instruction by word or illustration on how the mountable base and looped strap devices are to be used to secure implements.    
   
   
       3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the mountable base comprises two or more coupling devices/acceptors and the system comprises two or more looped strap devices.  
   
   
       4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein two or more of the looped strap devices have different sizes.  
   
   
       5 . The system of  claim 3 , further comprising: 
 packaging or promotional material for the mountable base and looped strap devices that displays instruction by word or illustration on how the mountable base and looped strap devices are to be used to secure implements.    
   
   
       6 . A method of selling the system for securing implements of  claim 1  comprising: 
 instructing by store display, instructional video or otherwise how to use the mountable base and looped strap devices to secure implements; and    relating, in the instructing, directions to a channel of commerce in which the mountable base and looped strap device(s) may be obtained.    
   
   
       7 . A system for securing implements such as tools, gear and the like, comprising: 
 a mountable base adapted to be secured to a wall or ceiling comprising one or more hook acceptors; and    one or more looped strap devices, the looped strap devices comprising a loop of strap fixed to a snap hook, wherein the loop of strap is sized to allow the snap hook to be threaded through the loop to enclose and engage one of a range of implements.    
   
   
       8 . The system of  claim 7  wherein the snap hook structure is adapted to isolate an opening portion of the snap hook from its connection to the strap, such that in ordinary use the strap does not release from such opening portion.  
   
   
       9 . A system for securing implements, comprising: 
 one or more reversibly closable straps comprising first coupling devices/acceptors secured to the closable straps; and    one or more strap devices, the strap devices comprising a loop of strap fixed to a second coupling device/acceptor adapted to secure to the first coupling device/acceptor.    
   
   
       10 . A system for securing implements such as tools, gear and the like, comprising: 
 one or more looped strap devices, the looped strap devices comprising a loop of strap fixed to a first coupling device/acceptor adapted to engage a second coupling device/acceptor that may be fixed to wall or ceiling, wherein the loop of strap is sized to allow the first coupling device/acceptor to be threaded through the loop to enclose and engage one of a range of implements; and    packaging or promotional material for the mountable base and looped strap devices that displays instruction by word or illustration on how the second coupling device/acceptor and looped strap devices are to be used to secure implements.    
   
   
       11 . An apparatus for securing implements to an object such as an appliance or tool comprising: 
 a looped strap device, the looped strap device comprising a loop of strap fixed to a first coupling device/acceptor adapted to engage a second coupling device/acceptor, wherein the loop of strap is sized to allow the first coupling device/acceptor to be threaded through the loop to enclose and engage one of a range of implements;    and wherein 
 the second coupling device/acceptor is incorporated into the looped strap device so as to provide for a reversibly formable second loop adapted to be secured to the object, and/or  
 the appliance further comprises packaging or promotional material that displays instruction by word or illustration on how the looped strap device is to be used to secure implements to objects.  
   
   
   
       12 . A method of reversibly securing an implement to an object with the apparatus of  claim 11  comprising: 
 threading the first coupling device/acceptor through the loop and enclosing and engaging an implement in a resulting lasso; and    using the first coupling device/acceptor to engage the object.    
   
   
       13 . A method of reversibly securing an implement to an object with the system of  claim 1  comprising: 
 threading the second coupling device/acceptor through the loop and enclosing and engaging an implement in a resulting lasso; and    using the second coupling device/acceptor to engage the first coupling device/acceptor.    
   
   
       14 . A method of reversibly securing an implement to an object with the system of  claim 9  comprising: 
 providing an implement about a portion of which a said closable strap has been wrapped;    providing an attachment point that has been enclosed and engaged by threading the second coupling device/acceptor through the loop forming a resulting lasso; and    engaging the first and second coupling device/acceptors.
