Abstract:

A flashlight holster includes a first elastic strap, one end of which is attached to a D-ring, and the other end is provided with a "first" VELCROT. TM. patch (preferably on both sides). A longitudinal pocket having either one or two open ends is formed from a second rectangular elastic strap which is stitched to the first elastic strap. An orthogonal pocket having two open ends is formed from a third rectangular elastic strap which is stitched to the longitudinal pocket at a center portion thereof. The orthogonal pocket is preferably provided with on outer reflective patch. Two "second" VELCRO. TM. patches are provided on the longitudinal pocket on opposite sides of the orthogonal pocket. Each of the pockets is dimensioned to accept the barrel of a flashlight when the pocket is stretched so that the flashlight is securely held in the pocket. Thus, the longitudinal pocket holds a flashlight with the barrel of the flashlight parallel to the strap and the orthogonal pocket holds a flashlight with the barrel of the flashlight perpendicular to the strap.
