Utility Belt for Holding a Remote Control Device

Abstract

A utility belt for supporting a remote control device, designed to be comfortably worn for long periods of time over other protective garments, such as fire-proof jackets or reflective vests. The harness is made of a rigid material, durable enough for use in hot, and wet environments, such as woven webbing which may also be fire resistant, of a width, sufficient to distribute the load evenly about the shoulders of the wearer, and may also have a means for attaching to a fire-resistant jacket or other type of jacket, and a releasable break-away feature for wearer safety, in case of a need to remove the controller and/or jacket rapidly. In the case of a utility belt designed to be attached to a jacket, the shoulder straps are permanently or releasably attached to a belt that is designed to be worn situated on the waist of the user.

         4 . The utility belt of  claim 1  wherein the belt is designed to be worn over a jacket but not attached to the jacket, and wherein the adjustable belt forms a complete circle around the body, forming a complete circle via a releasable fastener, such as snaps, buckles, quick release fasteners, mechanical hook and loop fasteners or the like. 
     
     
         5 . The utility belt of  claim 1  wherein the straps that go over the shoulders are of adjustable length and attach to the front and back of said adjustable belt.

         7 . The fire resistant utility belt of  claim 6  wherein said fire resistant utility belt is made of a webbing material having a flexural bending length of greater than 3″, wherein said webbing may be made of any number of fire retardant fibrous materials including but not limited to natural or naturally derived fibers such as cotton, rayon, lyocell, kenaf, hemp, jute, bamboo, wool treated with fire retardant treatments, and the like or synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, Kevlar®, Nomex®, modacrylic, acrylic, polyacrylonitrile and the like. 
     
     
         8 . The fire resistant utility belt of  claim 6  wherein said fire resistant utility belt is designed to be worn over and releasably attached to a jacket by mechanical hook and loop type fasteners. 
     
     
         9 . The fire resistant utility belt of  claim 6  wherein said fire resistant utility belt is designed to be worn over a jacket but not attached to said jacket, and wherein said adjustable belt forms a complete circle around the body, forming a complete circle via a releasable fastener, such as snaps, buckles, quick release fasteners, mechanical hook and loop fasteners or the like.
