Article securing strap assembly

Abstract

An article securing strap assembly for attaching an article to a supporting structure, comprising an adjustable-length article-engaging strap and an adjustable-length article-holding strap. The article-engaging strap includes a releasable connector for selectively configuring the strap between a closed loop configuration for engaging the strap around an article, such as a golf bag, and an open loop configuration for disengaging the strap therefrom, a D-ring slidably supported by the strap, and a length adjustment device. The article-holding strap has a first end provided with a first releasable fastener, a second end provided with a second releasable fastener, a length adjustment device, and a D-ring slidably supported by the strap. The first releasable fastener is releasably attached to the D-ring of the article-engaging strap, while the second releasable fastener is provided for releasably attaching the article-holding strap to the supporting structure, such as a golf cart.
