Abstract

A sports equipment hand-held or stick-held carrier that weaves or threads through one or more pieces of equipment and holds a stick, helmet, ball, mouth guard, cleats, jersey, goggles, pre-wrap and other miscellaneous items. The carrier slides, snaps or hooks onto a lacrosse stick and has a strap for hands-free carrying of all the necessary pieces of equipment. The carrier binds the stick and equipment together over the shoulder and around the torso of the user. The stick is easily inserted and removed from the carrier for play while holding the equipment together. This carrier acts as a needle and thread that easily holds and releases the various pieces of equipment. It is a quick, open and secure way to store, carry, package or display equipment on its own separately or attached to a stick, in essence it becomes a second stick designed to hold a players equipment and other items keeping their stick free for use. One version of the carrier can also be customized with removable attachments to create varying combinations to accommodate different players and easily replace any broken parts. The carrier also creates locker space by having various pieces of equipment hang on the device, off the floor, from one hook in the locker. Also, the carrier is used in packaging together various combinations of equipment for merchandising and display. The carrier creates useful packaging that enables the purchaser to fully see and use the various pieces of equipment without having to remove them from a traditional package that is then thrown away. The fully bound equipment and other items on the carrier may then easily hang on a hook for display in a retail store.

Detailed description of the Preferred Embodiment
With reference now to the drawing, and initially to Fig. 1, the carrier 10 according to a preferred embodiment is shown in use holding various pieces of equipment/gear 12 and with a stick shaft/handle 14 ready to attach through the top loop and handle of the carrier 10. The loop above the handle of the carrier 10 is designed to hold the stick shaft 14.
As shown in more detail in Figs. 2 and 3, the carrier 10 of this embodiment is favorably molded of durable rubber or plastic material. Here, the carrier end 110 is molded into a threading point. The large loop 112 is wide enough to accommodate the handle 116 and shaft loop 118 of the carrier 10. The space for equipment 114 is in the middle of the carrier 10. The handle 116 acts as a stop for the various pieces of equipment 12 thread onto the space for equipment 114. The shaft loop 118 and handle 116 are small enough for the large loop 112 to fit over and bind in place the various pieces of equipment 12 laced to the space for equipment 114 by passing the carrier end 110 through each various piece of equipment 12 individually.
As illustrated in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 the carrier end 110 threads through the various pieces of equipment/gear 12 stopped by the handle 116 of the carrier 10.
