Tether system

Abstract

A device including a lineal fabric with a first fabric surface and a second fabric surface, the first fabric surface includes a plurality of hooks disposed on the surface, and the second fabric surface includes a plurality of loops, said hooks and loops operable to interface with each other. A swivel is coupled to either side of the fabric surface and a tether is coupled to the swivel, the tether includes a loop fastener substantially disposed at a second end of the tether so it may couple to a binding post. The binding post may include either a magnetic portion or an adhesive portion for fastening it to a tool or other device.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A device including:
 a lineal fabric said fabric including a first fabric surface and a second fabric surface, said first fabric surface including a plurality of hooks disposed on the surface, and said second fabric surface including a plurality of loops, said hooks and loops operable to interface with each other;   a swivel coupled to either the first surface or the second fabric surface;   a tether coupled at a first end to the swivel, said tether including a loop substantially disposed at a second end of the tether;   a binding post operable to receive the loop, said binding post including either a magnetic portion or an adhesive portion.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the tether is coupled to the swivel with a retractable spool. 
     
     
         3 . A device including:
 a lineal fabric said fabric including a first fabric surface and a second fabric surface, said first fabric surface including a plurality of hooks disposed on the surface, and said second fabric surface including a plurality of loops, said hooks and loops operable to interface with each other as a fastener;   a swivel coupled to either the first surface or the second fabric surface;   a tether coupled at a first end to the swivel, said tether including a first portion of a hook and loop fastener substantially disposed at a second end of the tether;   a second portion of the hook and loop fastener coupled to the first portion of hook and loop fastener.   
     
     
         4 . A human wearable article including:
 a swivel disposed on a first surface of the article;   a tether coupled at a primal end to the swivel, said tether including a loop substantially disposed at a distal portion of the tether;   a binding post operable to receive the loop, said binding post including either a magnetic portion or an adhesive portion.   
     
     
         5 . The article of  claim 4  wherein the article is a glove.
