Abstract
A channel release system provides a platform member and sub-components that stack in a staggered/separated order and align in a channel when used together. A pin member slides through the channel and locks them together. When the pin is pulled through the channels, any secured components or equipment are released and can fall away. The channel release system of the present invention enables users to quickly release clothing, materials and other items to improve mobility, facilitate care and provide other benefits.
