Abstract
The present invention discloses a strap system for securing a payload. The strap system includes a first fastener having a connecting crosspiece, a reversing crosspiece, and a hanger capable of attaching to the payload, and all connected together on each side by lateral members. The strap system also includes a strap attached to the connecting crosspiece of the first fastener and capable of passing around the reversing crosspiece and tightening the strap around the payload.
Claims8
A strap system for securing a payload comprising:
- a first fastener comprising a connecting crosspiece, a reversing crosspiece, and a hanger capable of attaching to the payload, wherein the connecting crosspiece, the reversing crosspiece, and the hanger are connected together on each side by lateral members;
- and
- a strap attached to the connecting crosspiece of the first fastener and capable of passing around the reversing crosspiece and tightening the strap around the payload, wherein the strap further comprises:
- an elastic strap section connected to the connecting crosspiece of the first fastener at one end of the elastic strap section,
- an inelastic strap section connected to the elastic strap section at an opposite end of the elastic strap section as the first fastener, and
- a second fastener configured along the inelastic strap section to secure the inelastic strap section to the inelastic strap section when the strap is wrapped around the payload;
- wherein the second fastener is a hook and loop fastener system comprising:
- loops configured along both sides of the inelastic strap section at a closest region to the elastic strap section, and
- hooks configured along both sides of the inelastic strap section at a farthest region from the elastic strap section.
