Bundling, carrying and storing device

Abstract

A bundling, carrying and storing device that uses at least one handle holding loop positioned adjacent and parallel to the load bearing element of the device. The handle holding loops are therefore, used for holding a handle and not for strapping or bundling. The strapping and bundling or load bearing portion of the device is independent of the handle holding loop. A first preferred embodiment has a small strapping arrangement and a single handle holding loop for small loads. A second preferred embodiment is intermediately sized. A third preferred embodiment is large sized and has two handle holding loops. A fourth preferred embodiment adds an additional weight bearing portion. A fifth preferred embodiments has a separated strapping in the load bearing portion for added support and coverage. A sixth preferred embodiment allows for the storage of the device in a first variation and in a second variation provides a carrying device for a bottle.

Having described my invention, I claim:  
     
         1 . A bundling, carrying and storing device comprising: 
 a) a load bearing portion having a first end with a first portion of a fastener, an intermediate position with a second mating portion of a fastener, and a loose second end for tightening the load bearing portion around a load; and    b) a handle carrying portion having at least one handle holding loop adjacent and parallel to the load bearing portion; and 
 whereby after tightening the load bearing portion around a load, the load can be carried.  
   
     
     
         2 . A bundling, carrying and storing device as defined in  claim 1  wherein there are at least two handle holding loops.  
     
     
         3 . A bundling, carrying and storing device as defined in  claim 2  wherein the handle holding loops are separable in between.  
     
     
         4 . The bundling, carrying and storing device as defined in  claim 1  further comprising: 
 a) an identifying positioner fixedly attached to the loose second end of the load bearing portion; 
 whereby the user can identify which end will tighten the load bearing portion around the load.  
 
 
     
     
         5 . The bundling, carrying and storing device as defined in  claim 1  further comprising: 
 a) a shoulder sash attached to the bundling and carrying device in proximity to the handle carrying portion for distributing weight across a user's shoulders.  
 
     
     
         6 . The bundling, carrying and storing device as defined in  claim 1  further comprising: 
 a) an attachment for releasably attaching the shoulder strap in proximity to the handle carrying portion.  
 
     
     
         7 . The bundling, carrying and storing device as defined in  claim 6  wherein the shoulder sash has an attachment clip for releasably attaching the shoulder sash to the attachment on the bundling and carrying device.  
     
     
         8 . The bundling, carrying and storing device as defined in  claim 1  wherein the load bearing portion is divided to form a cradle.  
     
     
         9 . A carrying device comprising: 
 a) a handle having a middle; and    b) a u-shaped strand of cording having two loose upper ends at an upper portion, fixedly attached in proximity to the middle of the handle and a lower portion; 
 whereby the lower portion of the strand of cording is releasably attached to an object by a hitch.  
   
     
     
         10 . A method of providing a bundling and carrying device comprising the steps of: 
 a) providing a load bearing portion having a first end with a first portion of a fastener, an intermediate position with a second mating portion of a fastener, and a loose second end for tightening the load bearing portion around a load;    b) providing a handle carrying portion having at least one handle holding loop adjacent and parallel to the load bearing portion; and 
 whereby after tightening the load bearing portion around a load, the load can be carried.  
   
     
     
         11 . The method of providing a bundling, carrying and storing device as defined in  claim 10  wherein there are at least two handle holding loops.  
     
     
         12 . The method of providing a bundling, carrying, and storing device as defined in  claim 11  wherein the handle holding loops are separable in between.  
     
     
         13 . The method of providing a bundling, carrying, and storing device as defined in  claim 10  further comprising the step of: 
 a) providing an identifying position fixedly attached to the second loose end of the load bearing portion 
 whereby the user can identify which end will tighten the load bearing portion around the load.  
 
 
     
     
         14 . The method of providing a bundling, carrying and storing device as defined in  claim 10  further comprising the step of: 
 a) providing a shoulder sash attached to the bundling, carrying and storing device in proximity to the handle carrying portion for distributing weight across a user's shoulders.  
 
     
     
         15 . The method of providing a bundling, carrying and storing device as defined in  claim 14  wherein the shoulder sash has an attachment clip for releasably attaching the shoulder sash Lo the attachment on the bundling and carrying device.  
     
     
         16 . The method of providing a bundling, carrying and storing device as defined in  claim 10  wherein the load bearing portion is divided to form a cradle.
