Personal webbing
First Claim
1. A coupling for connecting two components of a webbing system comprising:
- two apertures through a first one of the components, said apertures being spaced apart a predetermined distance; and
a hooking element including a resilient base and a pair of hooks projecting from the base, the hooks having shanks spaced by said predetermined distance and ends that project in opposite directions away from one another; and
securing means securing the resilient base to a second one of the components, the securing means being so configured as to allow the resilient deformation of the base.

Abstract
A personal webbing system includes a novel coupling for connecting components of the system. For each two components to be connected, one of the components has at least two apertures through it, spaced apart a fixed distance. The other component is equipped with a hooking element having a resilient base and a pair of hooks projecting from the base. The spacing of the hooks is such as to permit the insertion of the hooks into the apertures when the base is flexed and to retain the hooks in the apertures when the base is relaxed. The apertures may be arranged in two parallel rows along a belt and otherwise in pairs on other components of the system. The hooking elements preferably are combined with straps carrying "Velcro" fasteners for securing the connection between the two components.
