A device that secures an object to the user's body, hands free, while carrying multiple types of bulky items is provided. The carrying device may include at least a pair of first straps and a second strap having a plurality of loops spaced apart along its length. Each strap terminates at opposing ends providing complementary and adjustable connectors, so that when each of the two first straps selectively engages one loop of the plurality the loops, many different types of bulky items may be secured to the body of user when the connectors are locked, thereby leaving the user hands free while transporting bulky objects.
Description
- The present invention relates to carrying devices and, more particularly, a carrying device that secures an object to the user's body, hands free, while carrying multiple types of bulky items.
- Current carrying device for transporting bulky items are themselves bulky and hard to store. Furthermore, current bulky-item carrying devices are limited to the types of bulky items that they can reasonably carry as such carrying devices tend to be tailored to carry specific odd items.
- As can be seen, there is a need for a carrying device that secures an object to the user's body, hands free, while carrying multiple types of bulky items. The carrying device embodied in the present invention is adaptable to carry innumerable bulky objects in multiple ways, separately and in combination. The present invention enables users to secure such bulky items against their body or body parts, thereby leaving them hands free when carry such items. Finally, the strap-based structure of the present invention makes the instant carrying device less bulky and easier to store compared to current carrying devices designed to carry bulky items.
- In one aspect of the present invention, a carrying device includes the following: two first straps, each first strap extending between opposing first ends providing first complementary connectors adapted to removable connect and to adjust the length of each first strap; a second strap extending between opposing second ends providing second complementary connectors adapted to removable connect and to adjust the length of the second strap; each first strap joined to the second strap between the respective complementary connectors; and a plurality of loops spaced apart along the second strap. In another aspect of the present invention, the carrying device includes the following: two first straps, each first strap extending between opposing first ends providing first complementary connectors adapted to removable connect and to adjust the length of each first strap; a second strap extending between opposing second ends providing second complementary connectors adapted to removable connect and to adjust the length of the second strap; each first strap joined to the second strap between the respective complementary connectors, wherein three-quarters or more of each first strap is disposed on one side of the second strap and the remainder of each first strap is disposed on the other side of the second strap; and two loops spaced apart along the second strap so that one loop is disposed between different opposing second complementary connectors and an adjacent first strap of the two first straps.
- In another aspect of the present invention, a method of carrying bulky objects includes the following steps: providing the carrying device mentioned above; the carrying device adapted so that each of the two first straps and the second straps wrap around a torso of a human user with fifty percent or less slack in each strap; and selectively sliding the two first straps through a respective loop of the plurality of loops so as to secure one or more bulky objects against said torso when removably engaging a majority of the complementary connectors so that only the two first straps wrap around said torso, or wherein only the second strap wraps around said torso.
- These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings, description and claims.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, shown in use; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention; and -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of the present 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.
- Broadly, an embodiment of the present invention provides a device that secures an object to the user's body, hands free, while carrying multiple types of bulky items. The carrying device may include at least a pair of first straps and a second strap having a plurality of loops spaced apart along its length. Each strap terminates at opposing ends providing complementary and adjustable connectors, so that when each of the two first straps selectively engages one loop of the plurality the loops, many different types of bulky items may be secured to the body of user when said connectors are locked, thereby leaving the user hands free while transporting bulky objects.
- Referring now to
FIGS. 1 through 3 , the present invention may include acarrying device 50. Thecarrying device 50 may provide a pair offirst straps 10 and a singularsecond strap 12. Eachstrap complementary connectors male connector 16 and afemale connector 18 removably connectable to each other. Thecomplementary connectors strap bulky objects 22. Similarly, thecomplementary connectors straps user 20 to adjust a carrying position of the object(s) 22. Thecomplementary connectors complementary connectors - The
second strap 12 may provide a plurality of spaced-apart loops 14 along its length. It should be understood that even though only twoloops 14 are shown inFIG. 2 , theloops 14 may number up to eight or more spaced along thesecond strap 12. Thereby theadjustable strap bulky objects 22 through the bulky object(s) 22 being securing by thefirst straps 10 to theloops 14, and thesecond strap 12 to the body of theuser 22. Eachstrap loop 14 may be made from material that may be repeatedly subject to tension forces in accordance with the present invention as described herein and yet not fail. - A method of using the present invention may include the following. The
carrying device 50 disclosed above may be provided. Auser 20 may slide one of the pair offirst straps 10 selectively through one of the plurality ofloops 14 on thesecond strap 14 so as to secure theobject 22 against the body of theuser 20 when allcomplementary connectors FIGS. 1 and 3 . Thefirst straps 10 may engage the body of theuser 20, as illustrated inFIG. 1 . In other embodiments, only thesecond strap 12 may engage the body of theuser 20. In either embodiment, theuser 20 is left hands free to manipulate other things. - The present invention may also be used to similarly store bulky items, as well as transport them. For example, in one embodiment, the
straps object 22 to support it against a post or frame (not shown), thereby storing the object to said post or frame for extended periods of time, elevated above a supporting structure, out of the way and away from pests and other articles that may damage thestored object 22. - 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.
