Paintball Carrying System

Abstract

This invention relates to paintball pods and devices to carry them to a paintball field, specifically to an improved paintball pod and paintball pod carrying device having the paintball pod and the paintball pod carrying device interlock to provide a quick and reliable one-handed placement and removal of the paintball pods.

1 . A paintball carrying system comprising:
 (a) a wearable article,   (b) at least one docking base,   (c) at least one paintball pod,   (d) said wearable article having means for attaching itself to a paintball player,   (e) said docking base having means for attaching to said wearable article,   (f) said paintball pod and said docking base both having means for mutual interlocking   
     
     
         2 . The paintball carrying system of  claim 1  wherein said wearable article is in the form of a paintball vest made of fabric material. 
     
     
         3 . The paintball carrying system of  claim 1  wherein said wearable article means for attaching itself to a paintball player is in the form of a belt made of fabric material. 
     
     
         4 . The paintball carrying system of  claim 1  wherein said docking base is made of plastic, having at least one docking base inner surface and at least one docking base protrusion extending from the docking base inner surface. 
     
     
         5 . The paintball carrying system of  claim 1  wherein said paintball pod is made of plastic and has an elongated cylindrical shape having a lid and at least a paintball pod outer surface having at least one paintball pod protrusion extending from the said paintball pod outer surface. 
     
     
         6 . The paintball carrying system of  claim 1  wherein said paintball pod means for mutual interlocking is done though the blocking interaction of said docking base protrusion of claim four and said paintball pod protrusion of claim five. 
     
     
         7 . A paintball carrying system comprising:
 (a) a wearable article,   (b) at least one docking base,   (c) at least one paintball pod,   (d) said wearable article having means for attaching it to a paintball player,   (e) said docking base having means for attaching to said wearable article,   (f) said paintball pod having means for locking within said docking base,   (g) said docking base having means for locking said paintball pod.   
     
     
         8 . The paintball carrying system of  claim 7  wherein said wearable article is in the form of a paintball vest made of fabric material. 
     
     
         9 . The paintball carrying system of  claim 7  wherein said wearable article means for attaching it to a paintball player is in the form of a belt made of fabric material 
     
     
         10 . The paintball carrying system of  claim 7  wherein said paintball pod is made of plastic and has an elongated cylindrical shape having a lid, a hollow cavity and at least an paintball pod outer surface having at least one paintball pod surface irregularity extending from the paintball pod outer surface. 
     
     
         11 . The paintball carrying system of  claim 7  wherein said docking base is made of plastic, has a locking finger which can pivot and spring back to its original position. 
     
     
         12 . The paintball carrying system of  claim 7  wherein said paintball pod means for locking within the said docking base is done though the blocking interaction of said locking finger of  claim 11  and said paintball pod surface irregularity of  claim 10 .
