Claim Text:
1. A tool carrier for removably attaching to a user's belt or a user's harness and a belt or a harness, the tool carrier comprising: a rear wall having an upper wall portion, a lower wall portion, a front wall surface, and a rear wall surface; a tool holder disposed on the front wall surface of the rear wall, the tool holder selected from the group consisting of a tool pouch and a tool loop; a tool carrier safety lanyard removably connected to the front wall surface of the rear wall, the safety lanyard having a releasable member connected to a lanyard first end and a closed loop formed in a lanyard second end wherein the tool carrier safety lanyard loops around the one of a belt or a harness and the closed loop is either attached to the releasable member or receives the releasable member therethrough, the releasable member being removably connected to a fastener mechanism fixedly attached to the tool carrier, to thereby prevent the tool carrier from accidentally or inadvertently falling away from the one of a belt or a harness; an elongated first attachment member fixedly secured to the rear wall surface of the upper wall portion at a pair of spaced-apart first and second attachment locations thereon in order to define a closed loop therebetween wherein the elongated first attachment member extends transversely relative to pouch side edges; an elongated second attachment member fixedly secured to the front loop portion of the upper wall portion at a pair of spaced-apart first and second attachment locations thereon in order to define a closed loop therebetween wherein the elongated second attachment member extends parallel relative to pouch side edges and the closed loop is accessible in the transverse direction relative to the pouch side edges; and an elongated third attachment member fixedly secured to the rear wall surface adjacent a bottom rear wall edge at a pair of spaced-apart first and second attachment locations thereon in order to define a closed loop therebetween wherein the elongated third attachment member extends parallel relative to pouch side edges and the closed loop is accessible in the transverse direction relative to the pouch side edges; whereby, when upper wall portion is folded backward toward the rear wall portion, the elongated second attachment member and the elongated third attachment member present aligned loops for receiving an openable flexible strip for attachment to a harness.
