Non-patterning concealed carry

Abstract

An imperceptible strap includes an inside surface and an outside surface. The inside and outside surfaces have a length and a width configured to eliminate visible line patterning. A thickness defined between the inside and outside surfaces is configured to tent fabric along the length and eliminate visible line patterning. Edges at width boundaries of the inside and outside surface are configured to eliminate visible line patterning.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An imperceptible strap, comprising:
 an inside surface having a length and a width configured to eliminate visible line patterning;   an outside surface having the length and the width;   defined between the inside surface and the outside surface, a thickness configured to tent fabric along the length and eliminate visible line patterning; and   at width boundaries of the inside and outside surface, edges configured to eliminate visible line patterning.   
     
     
         2 . The strap as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the edges are further configured to smoothly or gradually space overlying fabric from a wearer. 
     
     
         3 . The strap as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the thickness varies along the length. 
     
     
         4 . The strap as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the thickness defines a series of domes spaced along the length. 
     
     
         5 . The strap as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the thickness defines alternating high and low points along the length. 
     
     
         6 . The strap as set forth in  claim 5 , wherein the thickness transitions smoothly between the alternating high and low points. 
     
     
         7 . The strap as set forth in  claim 5 , wherein the thickness varies across the width at the high points. 
     
     
         8 . The strap as set forth in  claim 5 , wherein the thickness smoothly transitions between the high points and the edges. 
     
     
         9 . The strap as set forth in  claim 5 , wherein the thickness at the high points is greatest at a center of the width. 
     
     
         10 . The strap as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the edges are further configured to eliminate fabric catch points. 
     
     
         11 . The strap as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the inside and outside surfaces are configured to transfer heat away from a user. 
     
     
         12 . The strap as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the inside and outside surfaces are configured to transfer moisture away from a user. 
     
     
         13 . The strap as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the inside and outside surfaces are configured for coupling to other straps and accessories. 
     
     
         14 . A reduced-impression strap, comprising:
 an inside surface having a length and a width;   opposite the inside surface, an outside surface having the length, the width and a profile along the length which defines a series of peaks and valleys with smooth transitions therebetween;   rounded edges at boundaries of the width; and   a smooth transition between the peaks and the rounded edges.   
     
     
         15 . The reduced-impression strap as set forth in  claim 14 , wherein the peaks and valleys are rounded. 
     
     
         16 . The reduced-impression strap as set forth in  claim 14 , wherein the width varies along the length. 
     
     
         17 . The reduced-impression strap as set forth in  claim 14 , wherein the width undulates along the length. 
     
     
         18 . A reduced-visibility strap, comprising:
 an outside surface having a length and a width with a shape configured to eliminate visible line patterning;   an inside surface having the length and the width;   defined between the inside surface and the outside surface, a variable thickness; and   at width boundaries of the inside and outside surfaces, rounded edges.   
     
     
         19 . The reduced-visibility strap as set forth in  claim 18 , wherein the thickness undulates along the length. 
     
     
         20 . The reduced-visibility strap as set forth in  claim 18 , wherein the thickness undulates across the width at one or more regions along the length.
