Benefits of technology

[0007] The present disclosure relates to an improved, flexible and universal carrying device which facilitates the bundling, transporting and storing one or more objects. The preferred embodiment entails the use of two flexible straps. Both straps are attached at one end to opposite ends of a rod or handle. The remaining ends of the flexible straps are fixedly attached to the opposite ends of a second rod or handle, preferably being of slightly less length than the first rod or handle.

Problems solved by technology

This process is very inefficient because of the time it takes to tie and untie the rope.
In addition, there is the possibility that an individual object may accidentally fall out of the unified bundle causing the user to retie the individual objects again.
Also, tying the bundle is inefficient because when the user desires to remove one individual object from the unified bundle, the rope would have to be untied in order to facilitate removal.

Embodiment Construction

[0037] While the invention is susceptible of embodiment in many different forms, there is shown in the drawings and will be described herein in detail one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be understood, however, that the present disclosure is to be considered an exemplification of the principles of the invention, and the embodiment(s) illustrated is / are not intended to limit the spirit and scope of the invention and / or the claims herein.

[0038] Referring to FIG. 1, a preferred embodiment of the present invention 10 contains two rods 20 and 30. Rods 20 and 30 could take any suitable form and could be made from any suitable material. Preferably, the rods 20 and 30 are rigid or semi-rigid rods. The rods can be constructed of any suitable material, such as a metallic base material, plastic, wood, etc. Within the preferred embodiment, rod 20 is shorter than rod 30 to facilitate the ease of self-noosing the apparatus. Alternatively, the rods could be the same lengt...

Abstract

A flexible carrier apparatus comprising two rods and two flexible straps. The flexible straps are attached at opposite ends of the rods. One rod is placed under and then above the other rod, thus creating two nooses from the flexible straps, used to carry objects. A netting portion spanning the flexible straps is used to carry smaller objects. A securing device may be used to hold the objects together when the apparatus is not being carrier. A holding device may be used to hold the apparatus in position to receive objects.

Description

[0001] This application is a Continuation-In-Part of co-pending U.S. Non-Provisional Patent Application entitled “Flexible Carrier Apparatus and Method for Tracking the Same” filed Oct. 17, 2005 and assigned U.S. application Ser. No. 11 / 252,227, which is a Continuation-In-Part of co-pending U.S. Non-Provisional Patent Application entitled “Flexible Carrier Apparatus and Method for Tracking the Same” filed Jan. 30, 2003 and assigned U.S. application Ser. No. 10 / 354,755, the entire disclosures of which are hereby herein incorporated by reference. [0002] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of bundling, carrying and storing of objects, and more particularly, to carrying devices with flexible straps. Specifically, the present disclosure is a carrying device having two generally parallel rods or handles connected with two independent flexible straps. The carrying device is configured in such a way as to create two self-tightening nooses which facilitate the bundling, car...
