Abstract

A Torah Scroll contains the holiest books in Judaism, which is scribed onto parchment and rolled onto two wooden scroll holders with handles. Many people cannot carry the Torah at all and have a fear of dropping or damaging it due to religious implications. The present invention includes a carrying strap or belt with loops, worn in various configurations and comprised of various materials, wherein the handles of the Torah are inserted into the two loop and the weight of the Torah scroll is supported, making it easier to carry.

Description

  • A provisional application was filed on Jul. 31, 2018 and was assigned U.S. 62/712,370. I am the inventor, Lance R. Kann, a Citizen of the United States of America, with USPTO Customer Number 000154336, and with a mailing address of 13650 Fiddlesticks Blvd., Suite 202-380, Fort Myers, Fla. 33912 USA.
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention is hereby named “STRAPS AND BELTS OF VARIOUS CONFIGURATIONS TO SUPPORT CARRYING TORAH SCROLLS” as it relates to supporting Torah scrolls and, more particularly, to a strap or belt with loops in various configurations to support Torah scrolls while being carried.
  • A Torah Scroll contains a handwritten copy of the Torah, the holiest book in Judaism, which is scribed onto parchment and rolled onto two wooden scroll holders with handles. The Torah scroll is mainly used in the ritual of Torah reading during Jewish prayers and ceremonies. People also carry the Torah scrolls during Jewish religious services. Torah scrolls are fragile and expensive, heavy in weight, bulky, and are not easy for most people to hold. Many people cannot carry the Torah at all, or not for long periods, and have a fear of dropping or damaging it due to religious implications. As can be seen, there is a need for a device that helps users carry a Torah Scroll.
  • Broadly, an embodiment of the present invention provides a Torah support comprising: a carrying strap or belt with two loops, wherein the first loop and the second loop are configured to wrap around each of the two handles of a Torah.
  • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • The thirty-one (31) Figures include drawings of an embodiment of the present invention in various configurations and comprised of various materials or combination of materials. A table of contents with brief descriptions of each figure follows this narrative.
  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims and figures as presented.
  • The present invention includes a carrying strap or belt, and two loops, made of cloth, rope, leather, plastic, chain, or similar supportive materials (henceforth “materials”); and worn in various configurations to support carrying the weight of Torah scrolls.
  • The present invention includes a carrying strap that wraps over the upper body and/or waist and has loops on the ends to help support the weight of the Torah scrolls, while being held against the body.
  • The present invention reduces discomfort and impact on the muscles of the body by supporting the weight of the Torah scrolls. The user can feel the weight of the Torah Scrolls significantly reduced as they carry the Torah Scrolls against their body while securing the upper part of the Torah Scrolls with their arms.
  • The carrying strap or belt can be used on the torso of a man or a woman. It is a non-stretchable fabric. The support materials for the straps and the loops must be strong enough to carry the weight and not able to stretch.
  • DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THE FIGURES ATTACHED
  • Referring now to the Figures, thirty-one (31) configuration variations for the present invention are shown. This is not meant to be all-inclusive as slight variations could exist. However, each includes a carrying strap or belt with loops which may be made of a woven cloth fabric or other materials as noted above.
  • The first loop (marked as “1”) and the second loop (marked as “2”) wraps around a bottom handle of the Torah. The carrying strap or belt (marked as “3”) wraps around a user's shoulders and/or waist, to which the loops (1 and 2) are attached, thereby helps the user carry the Torah.
  • It should be understood, of course, that the foregoing relates to exemplary embodiments of the invention and that modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
