Description

AUSTRALIA
Patents Act 1990 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION LOAD STRAP WEAR SLEEVE The invention is described in the following statement 1 LOAD STRAP WEAR SLEEVE
DESCRIPTION
SThe Load Strap Wear Sleeve (LSWS) was developed to overcome the problem of DO excessive wear of truck load tie down straps, caused by the straps being tightly tensioned over the corners and edges of their loads. This wear is especially bad oo with loads such as bricks, crates, etc. Although originally developed for the road 00 Stransport industry the benefits of the LSWS would equally apply to similar load securing applications in other situations (eg marine, agricultural, aircraft etc).
The use of ropes with many types of loads is now outlawed with the use of load rated webbing straps and appropriate tensioning devises (such as Boeing winches, etc) now mandatory.
Although the webbing straps are extremely strong, excessive wear caused by sharp edges can quickly reduce this strength.
As the load straps are often made up to the correct length for various applications, concentrated wear of only a small portion of the overall strap can render them unserviceable.
They are quite expensive to replace. Although many alternatives including heavy cardboard, plastic strips and angles, folded sheet metal protectors, etc are used, they are difficult to secure and still allow some wearing of the straps.
The LSWS (see Figures 1 and 2) is designed to be fitted over and secured around the webbing straps at critical points to alleviate wear on the main webbing straps.
They can be easily repositioned and quickly and safely removed when the straps are rolled up. The invention (see Figures 1 and 2) consists of a wrap around body which is made from canvas, PVC vinyl, woven cotton fabric or similar material, to which is attached by stitching, sewing or adhesive, a strip of heavy webbing (3) or similar wear resistant material, a strip of male hook and loop fastener and a strip of female hook and loop fastener Depending on the material used for n the body it may be necessary to treat the cut edges to resist unravelling by O means such as hot cutting or a sewn hem.
oo00 o00 In practical use, the LSWS is placed around the standard load strap at a critical point (see Figure 1) and folded firmly around the strap so that the male and Sfemale hook and loop fastener strips engage each other, effectively securing the C LSWS to the load strap (see Figure 2).
The LSWS can be readily removed by parting the hook and loop fastening strips (4, and opening the body to allow removal. The LSWS can also be loosened and slid along the strap for repositioning to critical points of potential wear.
The use of one or more LSWS's placed at critical points of potential wear, rubbing or friction will significantly extend the safe service life of load straps and ensure the safe securing of loads for the full duration of transport movements.
The type and nature of the wear resistant material and the length and width of the overall body can be tailored to the size and type of the load strap used and the load to be secured.
The peace of mind for the driver that the load is secure, and will remain so also reduces the stress load on the driver contributing to extra safety to all road users.

Claims (3)

  1. 2. A load strap wear sleeve as claimed in claim 1 and shown in Figures 1 2 which has a strip of heavy webbing or similar wear resistant material attached by stitching, sewing or adhesive to its outer-face so as to protect the main fabric from wear when in working position.
  2. 3. A load strap wear sleeve as shown in Figures 1 2 and claimed in claims 1 2 that has dimensions applicable to the size of the strap, rope, chain or similar load securing device being used and the nature of the load to be secured.
  3. 4. A load strap wear sleeve as shown in Figures 1 2 and claimed in claims 1 3 that when secured around a strap, rope, chain or similar load securing device affords that strap, rope, chain or similar load securing device protection from damage due to sharp and or abrasive corners or edges on the load that is being secured or the application into which they are placed.
