Carrying strap having protective device

Abstract

A carrying strap device includes a strap member for attaching onto a user and having two end portions for coupling to an object, and a protective device having a band member coupled to the intermediate segment of the strap member for allowing the band member and the intermediate segment of the strap member to form a relatively smaller loop and to stably retain the strap member on the user and for preventing the object from being swung or vibrated or disengaged from the user. The band member includes two band segments detachably lockable together with spring clip members. Two belt members may be attached to the object and each has a spring clip member for detachably coupling to the strap member.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a carrying strap device, and more particularly to a carrying strap device for supporting and carrying various objects onto a user and having a protective device for preventing the objects from being disengaged from the user inadvertently and for allowing the objects to be disengaged from the user when a great pulling force is applied onto the carrying strap device and thus for protecting the user from being hurt by the carrying strap device inadvertently.

Benefits of technology

[0008] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a carrying strap device for supporting and carrying various objects onto the user and having a protective device for preventing the objects from being disengaged from the user inadvertently and for allowing the objects to be disengaged from the user when a great pulling force is applied onto the carrying strap device and thus for protecting the user from being hurt by the carrying strap device inadvertently.

[0009] In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a carrying strap device comprising a strap member for attaching onto a user, including two end portions for coupling to and for supporting and carrying an object thereto, and including an intermediate segment, and a protective device including a band member having two end portions coupled to the intermediate segment of the strap member for allowing the band member and the intermediate segment of the strap member to form a relatively smaller loop and to stably retain the strap member on the user and for preventing the object from being swung or vibrated or disengaged from the user.

Problems solved by technology

However, the typical carrying strap device has no protective device for preventing the objects from being vibrated or swung relative to the users particularly when the users are bowing their heads or are jumping or conducting various kinds of exercises.
