Abstract
A one-piece belt loop device of a relatively rigid material for use with a web of Velcro.RTM. fastener material includes a base having top and bottom edges with a pair of side edges extending therebetween. Recesses in the top and bottom edges provide guidelines for stitching the top and bottom edges of the base to the holster with the side edges free of the holster. The base thus presents a first loop for extension of a user's belt therethrough. A central housing presents upper and lower apertures with a raised central surface therebetween for attachment of a spring belt clipped thereto to clip the holster to the user's belt. A thumb break strap can be further extended between the apertures and has Velcro.RTM. material thereon releasably engageable with the underlying Velcro.RTM. material. The belt loop device enhances assembly and presents a reinforced belt attachment structure.
