Rolled tools carrying device
Abstract
The present invention has been designed to specifically
accommodate the spare barrel assembly kit of a small caliber
dearmer, as used by military and other personnel concerned with
either personal or group safety when encountering various
explosives. This invention allows these personnel to carry the
required equipment either independently or attached to other
carrying gear. This invention provides protection in a lightweight
device, and allows quick and easy access in important emergency
situations as well as for ordinary maintenance activities. While
the present invention, and alternative embodiments, have been
conceived and developed specifically for the spare barrel assembly
kit of a small caliber dearmer, it is conceivable that this
invention will also be useful for other small equipment or small
objects usage.

[0002] The research and development of this invention was not
federally sponsored.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0004] When military personnel confront objects that are of unknown
volatility, such as small bombs, they prefer to use a small caliber
dearmer (`de-armer`). These dearmers might initially be carried in
a land vehicle such as a truck or in an air vehicle such as a
helicopter, or by some other means, and then they will most likely
be carried by personnel for varying distances. The dearmer
traditionally is carried in a metal container as a means of
protection, as the dearmer has spare barrels which must be kept
without deviations and ready for accurate assembly. This metal
case, while more protective than a cardboard box would be, is heavy
and unwieldy, and particularly cumbersome while the personnel are
encumbered with other necessary gear. Also, in the current world
situation, many times dearmers are necessary in desert areas. While
there currently are soft bags and backpacks and pouches of many
descriptions, there are no known carrying devoices that are
lightweight, protective, and useful in the manner of the present
invention.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] The present invention is a carrying device designed to hold
tools or other objects of varying sizes, specifically spare barrels
and other small tools of the small caliber dearmer assembly kit,
and comprising multiple pockets; it is made of a soft cloth
material which is lined with a soft foam, and the device is flat
when opened, and rolled when closed. The sides are secured with
hook and loop, and with quick-release buckles and web. The ends are
secured with soft cloth material pieces and elastic and they
comprise soft hoods, further secured with quick-release buckles and
web.

[0010] FIG. 5 shows a rolled view of the exterior, fully showing

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0011] The interior of the present rolled tools carrying device is
comprised of soft cloth material and has seven compartments 1 of
varying sizes specifically intended to precisely fit various sizes
of barrels of a small barrel assembly kit. These compartments are
closed each at one end while remaining open 2 at the opposing end.
An additional compartment 3 inside the present invention opens and
closes with zipper 4, this compartment accommodates a small
equipment metal case. Also inside the present rolled tools carrying
device is hook and loop 7a. The device has not-exposed lightweight
foam sandwiched between the inside cloth material 15 and the
outside cloth material 16; this `sandwich` is bound by rewind edge
binding material 8.
[0012] After the elements of the kit are placed or replaced in
their compartments, the rolled tools carrying device is rolled and
the roll is secured on the outside 16. The security of the rolled
shape of the present invention is achieved in two ways: 1) The hook
and loop 7a of the interior meets with hook and loop 7b which is on
the outside 2) The webbed quick-release buckle system 6a consisting
of webbing and buckle at the periphery of the device meets with the
webbed quick-release buckle system 6b of the exterior near the
middle of the device.
[0013] Further protection and security of the dearmer kit elements
is achieved by the hood 9, 14 at each end of the device as rolled.
This hood 9, 14 acts as a protection from slippage of the elements,
and it also serves as protection from dust, water, insects, and
other intrusions. The present invention has elastic binding 13 at
the hood 9, 14 opening 10, and a webbed quick-release buckle system
5a at 13 that meets with the webbed quick-release buckle system 5b
on the exterior 16 of this device.
[0014] As a convenience for personnel who are carrying gear in
addition to this rolled tolols carrying device, the present
invention has a web material loop 11 on the exterior 16 and is
provided with a buckle and web 12 that goes through the loop 11 and
can be used to attach the present carrying device to additional
carrying gear such as waist packs, hip packs, or backpacks, or
other gear, even stationary gear.
[0015] Although the present invention is considered best for
optimum performance, additional modifications and embodiments may
be imagined by one practiced in the arts, including but not limited
to: a shoulder strap, backpack straps, additional hook and loop,
reduction of hook and loop, reduction of quick-release buckle
systems, additional quick-release buckle systems, drawstring hood
closure, drawstring end closure with tongue flap on hood, hook and
loop closure at an additional tongue flap on hood, webbing to hold
tools/objects/utensils inside without compartments, pockets or
compartments on the exterior of the device, a clip exterior
attachment system, flap or hook and loop closure on each
compartment, and other modifications or embodiments.
