For example, in one embodiment the first 16 andsecond pieces 18 of fastening materials are corresponding a piece of hook-and-loop fastening material, such as VELCRO® material. However the first 16 andsecond pieces 18 of fastening material can take any of wide variety of other materials, such as magnetic/magnetizable materials, snaps, clasps, buttons, zippers, etc. - With reference to
FIG. 3 , the belt/strap material strap strap strap strap strap - The protective belt/
strap FIG. 3 . InFIG. 3 theutility belt 20 is shown overlaid on top of the belt/strap trousers 24 andshirt 26. Theutility belt 20 is, in the illustrated case, wrapped around the waist of the wearer and positionedunderneath belt loops 22 of thetrousers 24. In addition, thetrousers 24 can include an inner support belt (not shown) positioned on an inner surface of thetrousers 24 and extending about a perimeter thereof, where the inner support belt is attachable to itself and/or thetrousers 24 to help keep thetrousers 24 in place on the wearer. - A plurality of
utility items 28 can be coupled to/suspended from or supported by theutility belt 20. In the illustrated embodiment theutility items 28 include a communications radio, a handcuff pouch, a handgun holster and an ammunition pouch. However theutility items 28 can of course vary from those shown inFIG. 3 and will vary depending upon the needs and preferences of the particular wearer. For example, when the wearer is a construction worker theutility items 28 can take the form of tools and the like. In any case, theutility items 28 can in many cases have significant weight and bulk; in one case having a total combined weight of at least about 2.5 pounds, or at least about 5 pounds in another case, or at least about 10 pounds in yet another case. When theutility belt 20 is worn without sufficient protection, the combined weight of theutility items 28 can cause theutility belt 20 to dig into the waist of the wearer, and cause bruising, abrasions, scratches, skin pinches, etc. - When the protective belt/
strap utility belt 20, the protective belt/strap strap strap strap FIGS. 3 and 4 , when the protective belt/strap utility belt 20 to be positioned within the protective belt/strap strap utility belt 20 to ensure sufficient protection is provided. However it may also be desired for the protective belt/strap strap strap utility belt 20, and have the height in the ranges noted above. - With reference to
FIG. 4 , the belt/strap skin 30. The synthetic rubber material is generally non-irritating and grips the wearer'sskin 30 to prevent relative movement therebetween (even in the presence of moisture or perspiration), which reduces a source of abrasion. In this case thefabric material 14 can face outwardly away from the wearer.FIG. 4 illustrates the wearer'sshirt 26 andtrousers 24 positioned between theutility belt 20 and the protective belt/strap utility belt 20 and the protective belt/strap utility belt 20 and the protective belt/strap upper edge 24 a of thetrousers 24 is positioned within the height of the protective belt/strap shirt 26 is positioned below the protective belt/strap - The belt/
strap fabric material 14 and any other layers, can be made of an open pore material such that the belt/strap skin 30 to pass therethrough, along with, in some cases, warm air via convection to provide cooling. However such breathable/porous material may be limited in the amount of perspiration, water vapor or heat which can pass therethrough. Accordingly if desired the belt/strap FIG. 4 , theperforations 32 can be positioned on and intersect a side/surface of the belt/strap fabric material 14, and extend generally perpendicular thereto. It should be noted that theperforations 32 shown inFIG. 4 are not necessarily to scale, but are shown larger than they may be in actuality for illustrative purposes. - The
perforations 32 may extend only a portion of the thickness of the belt/strap perforations 32 extend entirely through the thickness of the belt/strap strap skin 30 can be pulled or sucked into theperforations 32, which can cause blistering of theskin 30. When theperforations 32 extend through only a portion of the thickness, an air cushion is trapped in theperforation 32 to reduce the skin being pulled into theperforation 32. Even though the belt/strap perforations 32 can still prevent rapid pressure changes inside theperforations 32 when the belt/strap - Each
perforation 32 can extend at least about 25% of the thickness of the belt/strap strap perforations 32 extend the more they increase the transmission of water vapor, moisture and heat. However if theperforations 32 extend too deep then pressure containment can be lost which might lead to blistering of the wearer. - In one case the
perforations 32 extend generally perpendicular to the inner surface of the belt/strap perforation 32 can have a diameter (or effective diameter) of between about 0.05 mm and about 2 mm in one case, or greater than about 0.5 mm or less than about 2 mm. Thus eachperforation 32 can have a surface area of between about 0.002 mm2 and about 3.14 mm2, or greater than about 0.002 mm2 or less than about 3.14 mm2 where theperforation 32 intersects the inner surface. In some cases, theperforations 32 are sufficiently small and/or may be made simply by forming a penetrating opening into the belt/strap perforations 32 are effectively “closed” along their length and do not form an open space or void in the absence of any opening forces. However, it may instead be desired to useperforations 32 that are formed by removing material from the belt/strap perforations 32 are open along their length and define a void or space, by drilling, boring or the like or during formation of the belt/strap perforations 32 may stretch open and then close upon the user's skin, creating a pinching effect, and this may be able to be avoiding by using openings having voids. In addition, in some cases the belt/strap - The belt/
strap perforations 32 such that there is at least about 1 perforation/square inch and/or less than about 5 perforations/square inch. The belt/strap sufficient perforations 32 such that theperforations 32 provide a surface area of at least about 0.01 square inches of perforation (open space) per square inch of the belt/strap strap - In some cases the belt/
strap material 14 may be located). The liner can be made of a fabric, cloth or textile material, such as a relatively soft, bulky deep-piled knitted or woven fabric, wool fleece or fleece material (such as polar fleece napped polyester insulating fabric). The liner can be secured to the belt/strap - If desired the liner can be made of water repellent material and/or be treated to be water repellent to avoid the absorption of moisture. In addition the liner can be moisture vapor permeable to allow moisture vapor to be carried away from the wearer's skin. The liner can have a thickness with ranges the same as those outlined above for the synthetic rubber portion of the belt/
strap - When the belt/
strap strap strap perforations 32 and/or breathable material(s) provides a relatively cool and comfortable fit to the wearer. - Having described the invention in detail and by reference to the various embodiments, it should be understood that modifications and variations thereof are possible without departing from the scope of the claims of the present application.
