Patent Application
20070262105
The present invention relates to a dual-strap carrying structure, and more particularly to a hardened, uneasily deformed ring-shaped structures for carrying a bag or an article on the back easily.
Generally speaking, the golf bags are provided for holding several golf clubs. It is not easy to carry the golf bag by hands so the carrying straps are adopted for carriage. The existing numerous straps are usually designed for carrying the golf bag by one or two shoulders, wherein the shoulder may be hurt when the golf bag is carried by using a single shoulder. As a result, in the general design, the golf bag is mostly supported by both shoulders so as to share out the weight uniformly, thereby preventing the risk of hurt.
The conventional structures for carrying the golf bags were disclosed in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,038,984, 5,042,704, 5,429,288, and 5,593,077, wherein two straps are attached to the golf bags via hooked rings for carrying the golf bags by two shoulders. In these references, heavier weight may be supported by these conventional structures, which have two straps coupled with the golf bags. However, these straps are not hardened structure, causing the inconvenience in use.
Whereas the foregoing description, the present inventor makes diligent studies in providing an improved structure with reasonable design so as to overcome the conventional problems.
It is a main object of the present invention to provide a dual-strap carrying structure comprises two hardened, uneasily deformed strap members and is in compliance with human engineering so as to share the weight uniformly.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a dual-strap carrying structure that is applicable to a golf bag by using the hooked belts attached to the lower portion of the strap members or to a computer handbag by further using retaining slide rings attached to the lower portion of the strap members. When the dual-strap carrying structure is applied to the computer handbag, the direction of the connection belt can be changed by using the retaining slide ring such that the computer handbag can be carried on the back or on the side.
The above-mentioned features and advantages of this invention, and the manner of attaining them, will become more apparent and the invention will be better understood by reference to the following description of embodiments of the invention taken in conjunction with the drawings.
Referring to
In order to carry the golf bag 2, the strap members 11 and 12, which are connected by the connection belt 13, are unfoldable as a butterfly for being inserted through by the user's arms. As a result, it is very convenient to use. The placement of the strap members 11 and 12 is in compliance with human engineering so as to reduce the discomfortness in carrying the golf bag 2 on the back. At the same time, the weight of the golf bag 2 is shared out between both shoulders. As a result, it is more practical than the conventional single strap carrying structure.
Referring further to
In addition, another dual strap carrying structure 1′ of the present invention comprises two strap members 11′ and 12′, wherein these two strap members are hardened, uneasily deformed ring-shaped structures with a certain width to facilitate the carriage of the golf bag on the back. These two strap members 11′ and 12′ are coupled to one another by a connection belt 13′ such that one of the strap members can be lifted up by lifting up the other strap member. The connection belt 13′ is made of an elastic material such that the distance between these two strap members 11′ and 12′ is adjustable.
Besides, at least a respective retaining slide rings 111′ and 112′ are mounted under the strap members 11′ and 12′, wherein lower coupling belts 14′ are coupled with the retaining slide rings 111′ and 112′ so as to support the bag by both shoulders. Compared with the typical backpack structure, the computer handbag is carried by both shoulders according to the present invention. As a result, the dual strap carrying structure of the present invention is more convenient than the conventional backpack no matter it is applied to the computer handbag or the backpack. Furthermore, the retaining slide rings 111′ and 112′ are mounted under the strap members 11′ and 12′ to enable the shifting of the lower coupling belts 14′ according to the carrying direction of the computer handbag. When the lower coupling belts 14′ slide in the retaining slide rings 111′ and 112′, the computer handbag may be carried on the side or on the back. The articles inside the computer handbag can be taken out easily by merely shift the computer handbag to useable position without the need to take off the dual strap carrying structure.
