Strap cushion for an equipment support

A strap arrangement for an equipment support, the strap arrangement comprising:

• a strap having a first end opposite a second end and an inner surface opposite an outer surface;
• an engagement arrangement provided at the second end and configured to selectively releasably engage the first end to secure the strap around an item of equipment;
• and
• a cushion member selectively engageable with the strap between the first end and the second end and configured to provide an inwardly facing cushioning surface that engages the item of equipment secured by the strap to the equipment support, wherein the cushion member comprises a plurality of segments coupled to one another and selectively expandable along a length of the strap, and wherein at least first and second ones of the plurality of segments each comprise a spacer member extending across a width of the inner surface of the strap and a bridge member extending across a width of the outer surface of the strap and coupled to opposing ends of the spacer member, wherein an open area is defined between a bottom surface of the bridge member and a top surface of the spacer member, and wherein the open area of the first segment and the open area of the second segment are in alignment with each other and define a segmented tunnel for receiving the strap;
• and
• wherein one or more expandable and contractible connectors extend between and connect together the first and second segments, wherein the expandable and contractible connectors couple the first and second segments in a selectively expandable and contractible manner, wherein contraction of the connectors selectively enables the first and second segments to be positioned relatively closer together along the length of the strap and expansion of the connectors selectively enables the first and second segments to be positioned relatively farther apart along the length of the strap, wherein contraction and expansion of the connectors moves the open areas of the segments along the strap to vary the overall length of the cushion member relative to the length of the strap.
