Abstract of Patent

    A load carriage connector and system for rapid mounting and 
demounting of a user-carried load. The connector utilizes two mating 
halves comprising a male connector half and a female connector half. 
The connector is configured to allow mating under various angles of 
approach, allowing the user to reliably couple the system even under 
conditions in which the user is unable to view the orientation of the 
connectors. Additionally, the configuration of the connector system 
allows the user to quickly and efficiently decouple the connector 
halves, even while under tensile or shear load.
    The Department of the Air Force may grant the prospective license 
unless a timely objection is received that sufficiently shows the grant 
of the license would be inconsistent with the Bayh-Dole Act or 
implementing regulations. A competing application for a patent license 
agreement, completed in compliance with 37 CFR 404.8 and received by 
the Air Force within the period for timely objections, will be treated 
as an objection and may be considered as an alternative to the proposed 
license.

Acting Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
