Abstract
A lanyard attachment assembly has a sleeve with an inside surface and an outside surface. The inside surface defines a passageway through the sleeve. A strap passes through the passageway and forms a closed loop to link the closed loop to the sleeve. The assembly optionally includes a connector with a connector opening therethrough. When the assembly includes a connector, the strap passes through the connector opening where the closed loop links the connector to the sleeve.
Claims14
A lanyard attachment assembly for a hand tool comprising:
- a strap made of a flexible material and defining a closed loop wherein the closed loop is flattened and defines an elongated first strap portion aligned with and opposing an elongated second strap portion, and wherein the elongated first strap portion is fixedly secured to the elongated second strap portion at one or more strap connection point to define a primary opening and one or more secondary opening through the closed loop between the elongated first strap portion and elongated second strap portion;
- and
- a tubing having a predefined length, an inside surface and an outside surface, the inside surface defining a passageway through the tubing, the tubing being changeable between an expanded state and a relaxed state, wherein when a hand tool is installed in the passageway, an elasticity of the tubing causes the tubing to snugly engage the hand tool;
- wherein the first strap portion along the primary opening passes through the passageway of the tubing, thereby linking the tubular sleeve to the strap;
- and wherein the secondary opening is adapted to connect to an end of a lanyard.
