Abstract
A round sling system comprises a bearing structure, a cover, and at least one organizer secured to the cover. The bearing structure is arranged to define a plurality of loop portions and to define at least one bearing structure end portion. The cover defines a cover chamber. The at least one organizer is configured to engage the bearing structure such that the at least one organizer maintains a position of the bearing structure relative to the cover and the at least one organizer maintains a spatial relationship of the loop portions at least within the at least one bearing structure end portion.

A round sling system, comprising:
- a bearing structure made of at least one of natural and synthetic fibers and arranged to define a plurality of loop portions and to define at least one bearing structure end portion;
- a cover defining a cover chamber;
- at least one organizer secured to the cover and configured to engage the bearing structure such that
- the at least one organizer maintains a position of the bearing structure relative to the cover, and
- the at least one organizer maintains a spatial relationship of the loop portions at least within the at least one bearing structure end portion;
- wherein
- the entire bearing structure is arranged within the cover chamber.
A round sling system adapted to engage first and second structural members, comprising:
- a bearing structure made of at least one of natural and synthetic fibers and arranged to define a plurality of loop portions and to define first and second bearing structure end portions and first and second bearing structure side portions;
- a cover comprising first and second cover end edge portions and first and second cover side edge portions;
- a securing system configuring the cover to define a cover chamber;
