The invention relates in general to the field of material handling and, more particularly, a strap system for allowing a person to move heavy objects.
Carrying large and heavy objects has long been a challenge for individuals in various settings, including home moving, furniture delivery, and construction work. Traditional methods of carrying such objects often involve manual lifting, which can lead to physical strain, fatigue, and potential injuries. The need for efficient and ergonomic solutions to transport bulky items has been a persistent concern across multiple industries and everyday life situations.
Existing carrying aids, such as dollies, hand trucks, and moving straps, have provided some assistance in transporting large objects. However, these tools often have limitations in terms of versatility, ease of use, or the types of objects they can effectively handle. For instance, dollies and hand trucks are primarily designed for use on flat surfaces and may struggle with stairs or uneven terrain. Moving straps, while more adaptable, can be challenging to adjust and may not distribute weight evenly across the user's body.
The ergonomics of carrying heavy loads have been a subject of ongoing research and development. Proper weight distribution and body mechanics are crucial for reducing the risk of injury and improving the overall carrying experience. However, many existing carrying devices fail to adequately address these ergonomic considerations, potentially leading to user discomfort or strain during extended use.
Additionally, the adaptability of carrying devices to accommodate various object sizes and shapes has been a persistent challenge. Many carrying aids are designed for specific types of items, limiting their utility across different applications. This lack of versatility often requires users to own and transport multiple specialized tools, which can be impractical and costly.
Furthermore, the ease of setup and adjustment of carrying devices plays a significant role in their adoption and effective use. Complex or time-consuming setup procedures can discourage users from employing these aids, especially in situations where quick and efficient object transportation is necessary.
As the demand for practical solutions to carry large and heavy objects continues to grow, there remains a need for innovative carrying devices that address these longstanding challenges. Improvements in ergonomics, versatility, ease of use, and adaptability could significantly enhance the experience of transporting bulky items across various contexts and user needs.
Large, cumbersome and/or heavy objects are difficult to carry and may cause physical stress or injury. There are a few products on the market that allow two people to lift and carry such objects while distributing the weight of the object to their shoulders. A device is needed which allows the same ability for one person to carry such objects while distributing much of the weight to their shoulders. The device should allow a person to carry large, heavy shutter panel boxes (similar in size and weight of a full-size folding banquet table or slab of sheetrock) but the device should carry items of various size, shape and weight. The device should also be able to carry cumbersome bundles of items, such as multiple long thin boxes or items such as a bundle of 2×4 wood studs.
Devices exist for two people to carry large cumbersome objects with the weight supported by the shoulders, but none allow one person to carry large, heavy objects by supporting much of the weight with the shoulders while allowing for adjustments for carrying objects of various size and shape. Such devices currently exist with slightly different designs and all requiring two people to work in tandem, each wearing a shoulder harness, and a strap connects to an adjustable buckle attached to each shoulder harnesses. A device exists on the market that is a long wide strap with a handle on each end, one of which is adjustable to lengthen or shorten the strap. It requires two hands to carry objects and does not distribute the weight to the shoulders of the user. A device usually used by two people needs to now be utilized by one person with similar results. These and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent from the attached drawings and the detailed description of the preferred embodiments, which follow.

In some aspects, the carrying strap may be secured to the large object by wrapping it around the object at least once. This wrapping method may provide a secure and adjustable connection between the carrying strap and the object, potentially enhancing stability and control during transportation. For example, the carrying strap may be wrapped around the object in a spiral or helical pattern, or it may be wrapped around the object in a crisscross or figure-eight pattern. In some cases, the carrying strap may be wrapped around the object multiple times, potentially providing additional security and adjustability.
In some embodiments, the carrying strap may include a strap fastener, such as a buckle, a hook and loop fastener, or a snap fastener, which may allow the user to secure the carrying strap after wrapping it around the object or allowing the user to attach the carrying strap to another part of the carrying device while the carrying device is worn but not in use. The fastener may be used to securely hold the carrying strap in place to prevent the strap from dangling and tripping the user. The fastener may alternately be used to preventing slippage and providing a secure connection between the carrying strap and the object. The handle end of the strap may be fastened against the shoulder harness to prevent it from dangling when the harness is not in use since the carrying device may still worn by the user while the user performs other tasks that do not require use of the carrying device or harness.
In some aspects, the user may adjust the handle position so the large object is held by the carrying strap. This adjustment may involve pulling the handle to tighten the carrying strap around the object, or sliding the handle along the carrying strap to adjust the position of the handle. In some cases, the handle position may be adjusted to provide a comfortable grip for the user, potentially enhancing control and reducing strain during use.
In some embodiments, the handle may include an adjustment mechanism, such as a buckle, a clamp, or a sliding knot, which may allow the user to easily adjust the handle position. The adjustment mechanism may be designed to securely hold the handle at a desired position, potentially providing stable support and preventing slippage during use.
In some cases, the handle may be designed to rotate or pivot relative to the carrying strap, potentially allowing the user to adjust the angle of the handle to fit their grip. This rotational or pivotal design may enhance the user's grip and control, potentially reducing strain and improving comfort during use. For example, the handle may be connected to the carrying strap by a swivel joint, a ball joint, or a hinge, which may allow the handle to rotate or pivot relative to the carrying strap.
Components include a shoulder harness. A buckle is attached to the harness. A flat strap is fed through the buckle so that it is now attached to the shoulder harness. A handle is attached to the opposite end of the flat strap. A means of adjusting the length of the flat strap is provided by using an adjustable buckle.
The design of the shoulder harness could vary but it is a means of supporting weight by the shoulders. The buckle design could vary. The strap length can be adjustable at the buckle or at the handle (but an adjustable buckle seems to work better). The handle design could vary. The size and shape of the flat strap could vary. Also, this device could work with weight distributed to the user's waist instead of the shoulders.
