Abstract
The present invention relates to a suspension device for suspending objects such as a hammock, tarpaulin or any object requiring slip-free suspension from one or more load bearing members. The invention consists of a gripping belt of determinate length to fit around the load bearing member, having a buckle on the line for releasably cinching the belt around the member, a spanning belt having a closure device for selectively spanning the distance between the member and the article, a pair of belt loops or other couplers for releasably coupling the spanning belt to the gripping belt around the member at least at one tension point, and a securing device to secure the spanning belt to the article to be suspended.
Claims8
A suspension device for suspending a hammock or other inanimate object from a load bearing member, comprising:
- a) gripping means for gripping a load bearing member, wherein the gripping means comprises a gripping belt of determinate length to fit around the load bearing member, and cinching means for releasably cinching the gripping belt around the member;
- b) spanning means for spanning the distance between the object and the load bearing member, wherein the spanning means comprises a spanning belt;
- c) belt coupling means for releasably coupling the spanning means to the gripping means around the member, wherein the belt coupling means comprises a pair of belt loops dimensioned to be slideably received on the gripping belt and to slideably receive the spanning belt;
- and
- d) securing means for securing the spanning means to the object to be suspended.
A suspension device for suspending a hammock or other inanimate object from a load bearing member, comprising:
- a) gripping means for gripping a load bearing member;
- b) spanning means for spanning the distance between the object and the load bearing member, comprising a spanning belt and closure means for selectively forming the spanning belt into a closed circuit of adjustable length for encircling the load bearing member;
- c) belt coupling means for releasably coupling the spanning belt to the gripping means around the load bearing member at a minimum of one tension point;
- d) securing means for securing the spanning means to the object at a contact point;
- e) wherein the gripping means comprises a gripping belt of determinate length to fit around the load bearing member, and cinching means for releasably cinching the gripping belt around the member;
- and
- f) wherein the belt coupling means comprises a pair of belt loops dimensioned to be slideably received on the gripping belt and to slideably receive the spanning belt.
