Portable Object Support System

Abstract

A portable object support system includes a first unit configured to be carried by a portable object, the first unit having a first complementary component and a second unit configured to be carried by a strap, the second unit having a second complementary component configured for selective engagement with the first complementary component.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A portable object support system, comprising:
 a first unit configured to be carried by a portable object, the first unit comprising a first complementary component; and   a second unit configured to be carried by a strap, the second unit comprising a second complementary component configured for selective engagement with the first complementary component;   wherein the second complementary component comprises a channel extending generally in a vertical direction and wherein the first complementary component is configured to selectively move within the channel in the vertical direction;   wherein the second unit comprises at least two openings extending substantially longitudinally in the vertical direction and configured to receive a strap, at least one of the at least two openings being located leftward relative to the channel when the second unit is viewed from a front side of the second unit and at least one of the at least two openings being located rightward relative to the channel when the second unit is viewed from the front side; and   wherein the second complementary component comprises a ramp that extends forward from the rear plate, wherein the at least two openings are formed in the rear plate, and wherein the at least two openings are located rearward relative to the ramp when the second unit is viewed from above.   
     
     
         2 . The portable object support system of  claim 1 , wherein the first unit comprises a hook and loop type fastener. 
     
     
         3 . The portable object support system of  claim 1 , wherein the first complementary component comprises a disc shaped head attached to a shaft. 
     
     
         4 . The portable object support system of  claim 1 , wherein the second complementary component comprises a U-shaped channel. 
     
     
         5 . The portable object support system of  claim 1 , wherein the second complementary component comprises a catch carried by the ramp. 
     
     
         6 . The portable object support system of  claim 1 , wherein the second complementary component comprises a catch carried by the ramp and wherein the ramp is configured for selective deflection toward a curvature of the second unit. 
     
     
         7 . The portable object support system of  claim 1 , wherein the second unit comprises at least two openings located leftward relative to the channel when the second unit is viewed from the front. 
     
     
         8 . The portable object support system of  claim 1 , wherein the second unit comprises at least two openings located rightward relative to the channel when the second unit is viewed from the front. 
     
     
         9 . A portable object support system, comprising:
 a first unit configured to be carried by a portable object, the first unit comprising a first complementary component; and   a second unit configured to be carried by a strap, the second unit comprising a second complementary component configured for selective engagement with the first complementary component, the second unit comprising a substantially rigid curved rear plate;   wherein the second complementary component comprises a channel extending generally in a vertical direction and wherein the first complementary component is configured to selectively move within the channel in the vertical direction; and   wherein the second unit comprises at least four openings extending substantially longitudinally in the vertical direction and configured to receive a strap, at least two of the at least four openings being located leftward relative to the channel when the second unit is viewed from a front side of the second unit and at least two of the at least four openings being located rightward relative to the channel when the second unit is viewed from the front side; and   wherein the second complementary component comprises a biased ramp that extends forward from the rear plate, wherein the at least four openings are formed in the rear plate, and wherein the at least four openings are located relatively rearward relative to the ramp when the second unit is viewed from above.   
     
     
         10 . A portable object support system, comprising:
 a first unit configured to be carried by a portable object, the first unit comprising a first complementary component; and   a second unit configured to be carried by a strap, the second unit comprising a second complementary component configured for selective engagement with the first complementary component;   wherein the second complementary component comprises a channel extending generally in a vertical direction and wherein the first complementary component is configured to selectively move within the channel in the vertical direction; and   wherein the second complementary component comprises a catch carried by a biased ramp and wherein the ramp is biased toward a front of the second unit;   wherein the biased ramp extends forward from the rear plate, wherein at least two openings are formed in the rear plate, and wherein the at least two openings are located rearward relative to the biased ramp when the second unit is viewed from above.   
     
     
         11 . A quick connect system, comprising:
 a pin;   a first receiver selectively secured to a first end the pin; and   a second receiver selectively secured to a second end of the pin;   wherein each of the first receiver and the second receiver comprise a concave profile configured to selectively receive a quick connect device therein.   
     
     
         12 . The quick connect system of  claim 11 , wherein the pin comprises a shoulder configured to be selectively abutted against by one of the first receiver and the second receiver.
