Description

Adjustable plastic carry strap having laterally projecting foldable handles}

The present invention provides a female and male end fastener that can be manually secured to form a closed loop and at least one handle that facilitates the manual lifting and transport of objects placed within the loop. A strap having a handle portion that can be manually engaged in place to form.

When there are no machines to perform such tasks (such as cranes or forklifts), in many circumstances it is sometimes necessary to manually lift annoying objects. In addition, some objects are heavy or uncomfortable, but are usually left to be handled manually by the operator as they are too small to use the machine (such as forklifts) or need to be moved to an area that is not accessible to the machine. .

For example, on a farm, many chores can be automated at least in part, but typically a lot of manual work is still required, such as moving things from a vehicle to a storage facility or vice versa. Some objects that can typically be used in such an environment (such as a bucket) include handles as various types of components to facilitate manual handling of the object. However, many tasks in the agricultural or industrial environment require handling bulk material in the form of boxes, bags or rolls or cylinders. This type of bulk cargo material can quickly become bulky, making the work of workers more difficult and dangerous. There is little doubt that bending the upper body by picking up a bag or roll of material causes the worker to be placed in a location that would cause a fatal injury to the worker's back or other parts of the worker's body. Any means for characterizing such difficulty, convenience and stability of chores is desirable.

Taylor's U.S. Pat.No.252,741 is a U.S. design patent showing a handleless tie strap having a plurality of linear longitudinal holes and two equal angled ends. It is shown that there are two possible ways of attaching the termination to the longitudinal hole. The smaller, most protruding end acts as a barb and can act as a temporary fixing means that can be easily removed than a triangular part that can hold the sections together.

Because simple rolled plastics can weigh up to 100 lbs, many people demand a simple and inexpensive way to handle bulky items such as rolled materials. Therefore, there is a need for a device that is small enough to contain roll shaped materials or other objects and that is easy to handle inexpensive roll shaped materials or other objects.

The present invention relates to an adjustable carrying strap and handle to facilitate lifting of an article such as a rolled material. In addition, the present invention facilitates bundles of materials. The carrying strap and the handle have first and second ends, one end having one or more longitudinally spaced couplings, and including an extended, substantially planar strap. In some embodiments, each engaging portion extends from the opposite lateral side of the second end of the strap, the first end having a female-part having an opening suitable for continuously receiving the fastening portion of the second end of the strap portion. Is terminated. In this embodiment, each of the engagement portions can be releasably engaged with a portion of the female portion near the opening once inserted into the opening.

The carrying strap and handle also include a pair of laterally protruding handle halves. According to an embodiment, each handle half extends from opposite lateral sides of the strap and is substantially symmetrical with one another about the longitudinal axis of the strap. Each handle half has a U-shape having two or more engagement portions substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the strap and one grip disposed between the two engagement portions. The grip is laterally spaced from the lateral edge of the strap. This position creates a space large enough to allow the hand to release the handle. The handle halves are initially coplanar with the straps and the two laterally opposed handle halves are suitable for folding together in an upward position to form a handle on the strap.

The advantage of using a carrying strap and handle is that the ease, comfort, durability and safety of the object to be carried to the user is increased. If the object to be carried does not generally include a handle, the user can easily attach to the object using the carrying strap and handle. Thus, it becomes easy to handle difficult-to-handle items, such as rolled woven plastic nets or films with widths greater than the user's usual arm spacing. Thus, the user will know that the user is placed at a location that causes discomfort. This is very important when considering the weight of a manually handled object. Users who handle roll-shaped materials, cylinders of compressed gas, sacks, crates, boxes, tubes, pipes, packs and individual items (such as pieces of logs) can benefit from carrying straps and handles.

The adjustable handle and carrying strap 100 extend and include a generally planar strap portion 110. In one embodiment, the second end has one or more longitudinally spaced water-bonding regions 120 having respective male-coupled portions 125 extending from the opposing lateral edges 111 of the strap portion 110. Has In this embodiment, the first end terminates at the female coupling portion 150 having a width greater than the predetermined width of the strap portion. The female coupling portion 150 has an opening 130 for continuously receiving each male coupling portion 125 of the second end of the strap portion 110, each of the male coupling portions 125 When inserted into the opening 130, it may be detachably engaged with a portion of the female coupling portion 150.

As shown in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 4, the first end of the strap portion 110, which receives the second end of the strap portion 110, is T-shaped and has a longitudinal axis of the strap portion 110. FIG. And a vertical portion 131 installed generally vertically in the lengthwise direction and a longitudinal portion 135 installed generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the strap portion 110. In this embodiment, the vertical portion 131 of the T-shaped opening 130 is T-shaped to facilitate insertion of the engagement region 120 having a width greater than the width of the vertical portion of the T-shaped opening 130. Longer than the longitudinal portion of the opening. In this case, the larger width of the male-engagement 125 further secures the first and second ends of the handle and carrying strap 100 to each other. The T-shaped opening further includes a tail 133 parallel to the longitudinal portion 135 but disposed at the end of the vertical portion 131. These tails 133 provide a resistance to the rear by partially covering the opening 130 and by creating tabs 137 that also provide increased convenience of insertion, so that they strap along only one edge When connected to the portion 110, it facilitates the insertion of the male coupling portion 125.

When the engagement of the male-coupling region 120 and the female-coupling portion 150 includes a protrusion such as the male-coupling portion 125, it is larger than the position of the opening where the male-coupling portion 125 originally exists. It has a wide width. Thus, when inserted into the opening 130 of the female coupling portion 150, the relatively wide male coupling portion 125 prevents separation of the male coupling portion 120 and the female coupling portion 150. For example, in an embodiment having a water-bonding region 120 having a generally T-shaped opening 130 and a water-coupled portion 125, the steps for connecting are typically as follows. First, the male-bonded region 120 is rotated to align with the grinding direction 135 of the opening 130 and inserted into the opening 130. The male coupling portion 125 is inserted into the longitudinal portion 135 and rotated to align with the vertical portion 131 of the opening 130. In this position, when the strap is in the tensioned state, the first end of the male engagement portion 125 abuts the face of the female engagement portion 150 in the region of the side of the vertical portion 131. Since the length of the longitudinal portion 135 is typically longer than the length of the vertical portion 131, the male-bonding region 120 is very easily inserted into this region and, once fully inserted, is removed from the vertical portion 131. Very difficult to do. Also, vertically, the vertical portion 131 is approximately equal to the width of the strap portion 110, and the width at the male-coupled portion 125 is wider than the width of the vertical portion 131, so it is easy to attract. Resistance is obtained.

The handle and carrying strap 100 may be in any of a variety of ways including cutting a portion of the handle and carrying strap 100 or in the reverse order of attaching the male-coupled portion 125 and the female-coupled portion 150. By separating the male coupler 125 and the female coupler 150, they can be removed from the object to be carried.

In another embodiment, the male-engagement region 120 at the second end of the strap includes other means for attaching to the first end of the strap and / or the female-engagement 150. In this case, the meanings of the terms "male" and "female" mean two regions joined together. Such other means for attachment include buckles, snaps, hook and loop fasteners, staples, adhesives or other practical means. Alternatively, attachment of the first and second ends can be achieved without additional components, for example by welding, heat-welding, solvent-welding or crimping both ends in accordance with certain embodiments. Can be.

In most embodiments, the handle and carrying strap 100 may be configured to secure the circumference of two or more already selected objects. For example, if a manufacturer sells a roll-shaped material that varies between 100 yard and 300 yard rolls, then naturally the diameter and circumference will be different. If handle and carrying strap 100 are used in this situation, the controllability of handle and carrying strap 100 must be provided. One way in which this is required may be satisfied to include a series of male engagement portions 125 or protrusions on the second end of the handle and carrying strap 100. Each male coupling portion 125 allows engagement of the male coupling portion 125 and the female coupling portion 150 at that point. Since an article having any one diameter to be lifted requires a strap portion 110 of a certain length, if an article is selected with two articles having different diameters, then only two engagement positions would be needed. Therefore, the two or more sets of male-engagement portions 125 respectively positioned in the longitudinal direction with respect to the longitudinal axis of the strap portion 110 may be positioned at the first and second ends of the handle and the carrying strap 100 to be attached (and Remaining circumference of the strap). The position of this tab will typically correspond to the perimeter of the object to be lifted.

Moreover, the male coupling portions 125 will be arranged in groups for two or more pre-selected longitudinal portions. That is, instead of a pair of water-coupled portions 125 close to each position, multiple pairs of water-coupled portions 125 may be disposed at each position. In this embodiment, the additional tab provides a tolerance for varying the roll circumference. Thus, as long as the full range of water-engaging portion 125 is not required, the desired level of adjustability is still obtained without unnecessary material consumption. The principle of the above-described exemplary embodiment, in which different arrangements of the male-engagement 125 are discussed, is based on alternative means (snap, hook and loop) for securing the first and second ends of the handle and carrying strap 100 to each other. It can be appreciated that the present invention can be applied to a means such as a fastener configured).

Alternatively, two or more openings 130 may extend or be included on multiple female coupling portions 150. As such, controllability is provided. However, the handle and carrying strap 100 can be arranged to include a plurality of male-engaging regions 120 and a plurality of female-engaging portions 150. Therefore, the specific means by which the controllability can be obtained can be selected by the user, and if required, two or more male-coupled portions 125 and female-coupled portions 150 provide extra connections for safety. It can be utilized simultaneously to increase the carrying capacity of the strap by providing and / or distributing the stress in one connection on the plurality of connections.

The carrying strap and handle also include a pair of lateral protruding handle halves 140a 140b. Each handle half extends from the opposite lateral edge 111 of the strap 100 and is generally symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis of the strap 100. Preferably, the handle is laid flat before use and when not in use to secure space, in order to facilitate lamination of the article fixed by itself and / or strap 100.

Each handle half 140a, 140b has a U-shaped and two grips 149 disposed between the U-shaped and two connections 148 having two or more connections 148 generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the strap. The grip portion 149 is laterally spaced apart from the lateral edge 111 of the strap portion 110. This position forms a space 147 of sufficient size to put the hand in the handle 140 and grasp.

Alternatively, the handle halves 140a, 140b include a T-shaped handle portion connected to the strap by a single centrally located connection. Using this embodiment, the user's finger is placed on each side of the connection rather than inside the two connections as using the above embodiment. In contrast, the handle halves 140a and 140b still include a semi-circular section or object to be loaded consisting of a generally arched handle half attached to each end of the strap and a loop that allows the user to hold the carrying strap and handle. Such loop and semicircular sections, U-shaped and T-shaped handles may be integrally formed with their own straps, or may be made of additional components later attached to strap portion 110. In addition, the handle halves 140a and 140b may be made of a string-like material such as a rope attached to the strap part 110 through an eyelet in the strap part 110. Of course, although not specifically described herein, other forms for the handle 140 are possible.

In each embodiment, the handle halves 140a, 140b are initially coplanar with the strap portion 110, and the two laterally opposed handle halves 140a, 140b form the handle for the strap. It is suitable for folding together in its original position in the vertical position. For example, in the case of a U-shaped handle half, one or more creases 540 (FIG. 5) may be formed to facilitate vertical folding of the handle half. To facilitate folding, the intermediate connection 543 between the handle 111 148 and the edge 111 of the strap has a reduced thickness. In addition, the intermediate connector 543 may be shaped so as not to be folded beyond a preselected point, for example, the intermediate connector 543 has a triangular or trapezoidal profile (FIG. 5). Such a configuration consists of two "hinges" which cause interference to prevent the handle from folding beyond a predetermined point, and in use one on each side of the connection 543 has adjacent surfaces folded and in contact with each other.

The handle halves 140a, 140b may be located near the first end of the strap portion 110, near the second end of the strap portion 110, or in an intermediate position between the first and second ends of the strap portion 110. have.

According to an embodiment, the handle 140 includes flanges 460 on one or more edges of the handle to provide increased robustness and user convenience. Such flange portion 460 typically includes a narrow band of increased thickness along the edge of the handle.

Additional material spaced from the middle of the handle helps to prevent bending stress and resulting deformation of the handle 140. The flange portion 460 may be located along an outer contour of the handle 140 and / or an inner contour 440 of the handle 140.

When using the handle and carrying strap 100, the user generally lifts each handle half 140a, 140b from a flat position. If multiple handles and carrying straps 100 are used, the user grabs a pair of handle halves 140a and 140b in each hand and lifts the object. If the handle and carrying strap 100 are implemented such that the space between each handle halves 140a and 140b is relatively large, and if only one carrying strap is used, the user may have one handle half 140a, 140b), lifting the object. In some embodiments, the grip portion 149 of the handle 140 is such that when the user carries the carrying and carrying strap 100 up by the user, the undulation prevents excessive slippage of the strap with respect to the user's hand, It has a wavy corrugated inner edge 440 that fits comfortably against a user's finger. In addition, a gripping surface made of a rubbery or easily gripped material may be formed or attached to the surface of the grip portion 149 to reduce undesirable movement of the handle relative to the user's hand.

As shown in FIGS. 1-4, the apparatus further includes a pair of tabs 450 at the first end of the carrying strap 100. The tab is suitable for securing an excess of the second end of the strap 100 protruding through the opening 130 to the surface of the strap 100. Tab 450 extends upward from the first plane of strap 100. Tab 450 has an inwardly projecting protrusion 455 located at its upper end.

6A-6E illustrate various arrangements for engagement at the second end of the carrying strap 100 at the second end of the carrying strap 100. According to a particular embodiment, each longitudinally spaced coupling at the second end of the strap is opposed to the strap or a pair of laterally extending bars 610 (FIG. 6A) to engage the opening 130. And laterally extending arrow-shaped fasteners 620 on the lateral edges (FIG. 6B). In contrast, the projections 615, 617 (FIGS. 6C, 6D) replace the ring 610. Alternatively, each engagement at the second end of the strap includes a pair of angled notches 630 (FIG. 6E) suitable for engaging with a portion of the opening 130. FIG. Angled notch 630 has two legs. The first leg 631 is generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the strap portion 110. The second leg 632 is inclined to the longitudinal axis of the strap portion 110 such that the end of the second leg 632 is located closer to the longitudinal axis of the strap than the first end of the second leg. The first leg 631 can engage the opening 130 removably at the first end of the strap portion 110 to prevent the first and second ends of the strap 130 from loosening. The second leg 632 allows for a one-way ratchet effect to facilitate tightening of the strap to the object to be lifted.

7A-7C show attachment of first and second ends of handle and carrying strap 100, including snaps 710a, b, fasteners 720a, b composed of hooks and loops, staples 730, or adhesives. An alternative means for this is shown. Alternatively, attachment of the first and second ends may be accomplished without additional components, for example by welding, heat-welding, solvent-welding or crimping the two sections together, depending on the particular embodiment. Can be.

8A-8C illustrate various embodiments of the second end of strap portion 110. The second end of the strap (1) at the surface 810 inclined to the longitudinal axis of the strap, (2) at a portion symmetrical about the longitudinal axis of the strap, having at least one sloped portion 820 Or (3) terminate at a surface generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of strap 830.

In general, the length of strap portion 110 may be pre-selected around the perimeter of the object to be lifted. Alternatively, the distance between the longitudinally spaced male coupling portions 125 may be pre-selected based on the perimeter of the object to be lifted.

The handle halves 140a and 140b may be disposed on the strap portion 110 near the first end of the strap 100 and automatically folded flat into the plane of the strap when not in use. A gusset can be disposed and attached between at least one lateral edge of the strap and the engagement portion of the at least one handle to strengthen the engagement.

Depending on the embodiment, the strap 100 may be used alone or in combination with another carrying strap 100. In the latter case, the two or more straps 100 measure the length of the object as long as the user's arm extends with one handle 140 of one strap 100 in each hand so that the user can conveniently lift the object. Can be spaced accordingly. Alternatively, the carrying strap 100 is relatively wide or has a wide section between the two handle halves 140a, 140b of the carrying strap 100. This provides a comfortable gap between the handle halves 140a and 140b. Similar to the former application, this latter application allows the handle halves 140a and 140b to hold one in each hand.

The entire handle and carrying strap 100 can be made of a single material. Preferred manufacturing materials are plastics. Suitable plastics that may be used are nylon, (low concentration polyethylene (LDPE), high concentration polyethylene (HDPE), ultra low concentration polyethylene (ULDPE), ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), cross-link polyethylene (PEX), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) Polyolefins such as polyethylene) and polypropylene). Suitable other plastics include polyesters, polyamides, polyvinylchloride (PVC), vinyls. Especially preferred are polyethylene and polypropylene. In contrast, the materials of manufacture of the carrying straps and handles include animal products such as rubber, metal, paper, cardboard, composite materials and leather. Metals used include aluminum, copper, iron and their alloys and other metals.

Alternatively, the handle and carrying strap 100 can be made from a plurality of components, each made of a different material. If the handle and carrying strap 100 are made of metal, they may be cast, cast or shaped, for example by shear deformation and / or drilling.

While specific embodiments have been described above, it is apparent that minimal changes in structure and operation may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, as defined by the scope of the appended claims. Each component recited in the claims will be understood as a reference to all equivalents.
