Abstract
A clip attaches an item, including a weight bearing item, to a strap worn by a person. The clip includes a body and a closure mechanism. The body has bottom and top portions connected by a hinge movable between a closed position, to capture the strap between, and an open position. At least one of the top and bottom surfaces has strap-engaging, non-slip structure to securely engage the strap captured therebetween. The closure mechanism includes closure structure at closure ends of the top and bottom portions and a stabilizer preventing relative movement of the closure ends generally parallel to the hinge axis when the clip is in the closed position. The clip can include a fastener supported by the body, the fastener being configured for attachment of the item to the clip.
