Description
- The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/591,366, filed 27 Jan. 2012.
- Military and law enforcement agencies currently use a personal gear attachment system referred to as Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment (MOLLE). The system typically utilizes sewn webbing, in a matrix formation, referred to as Pouch Attachment Ladder System (PALS). Using the MOLLE system, gear (e.g., a modular pouch) with straps on the back can be attached to a webbing panel configured in the PALS format. In order to attach gear to the PALS panel, straps of the gear can be weaved into the PALS panel. The PALS format is an effective means of securely fastening many types of gear, such as ammunition pouches, ordinance pouches, first aid kits, pouches for miscellaneous items (e.g. flashlights, knives, compasses, and GPS units), identification holders, canteens, liquid bladders, and other types of load-bearing equipment, to a person.
- The modular nature of the MOLLE and PALS systems affords a user the ability to customize placement of gear based on various factors including the type of gear being attached. Currently, the MOLLE and PALS system is limited to being implemented on backpacks, vests, and other personal articles of clothing and storage. As such, gear that is small and relatively light can be used with the MOLLE and PALS system. However, a user can run into problems where there is too much gear to personally carry or the size of the gear makes it impractical to carry. Furthermore, a user may wish to store the gear in a readily available location without having it on their person.
- In cases of civilian activities, it may be impractical to carry such gear around personally. A user may wish to have the gear available to him, but not have to personally carry the gear everywhere he goes. When going on a camping or hunting trip, this type of gear would generally be stored in some sort of container when transported. However, using a container limits the availability of gear readily obtainable by a user. The user would then have to transfer to the gear from the container to a personal carrier having the MOLLE and PALS systems.
- Therefore, there is a need for a system that addresses the limitations of the MOLLE and PALS systems. A system adapted for use in various civilian transportation vehicles and storage applications where a user would not have to personally carry gear is needed.

FIG. 6 illustrates a storage apparatus for use with a cargo bed. - Embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to an apparatus that builds upon the ideas behind the military's Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment (MOLLE) system, which uses the Pouch Attachment Ladder System (PALS). For convenience of reference, the overall system is henceforth referred to as the apparatus. Generally speaking, the apparatus can facilitate transport and storage of a wide variety of equipment and pouches, including those already used with the existing MOLLE and PALS systems. In an embodiment, the apparatus includes a more-robust “ladder” system that takes the place of one-inch webbing in a typical PALS application. For example, in one variation, the apparatus includes webbing straps each having a 550 paracord core. It is to be appreciated that other suitable cord cores can be implemented depending on an application and anticipated load. In another variation, the apparatus' “ladder” system includes vertical webbing straps placed in the apparatus for reinforcement in heavier load applications.
- In an embodiment, the apparatus includes an integrated storage and transport system comprising a high tensile strength base and a plurality of straps with cord cores. The core includes multiple strand high tensile cord. The plurality of straps are generally in parallel and can be spaced at various widths according to the square foot size of the apparatus. Also combined, in some variations, is the strategic placement of box stitching throughout the surface of the base. In one variation, the apparatus includes hook-and-loop patches and/or snap fasteners for attachment of various types of gear to the apparatus.
