Multipurpose carrying system

Abstract

The invention consists in a new carrying system of objects, based on the use of a hooking shoulder carrier which does not include any container in which to transport objects. This permits the device to hook directly the load and therefore it can be light and pocket able, thus being able to carry even encumbering objects. Further, the dimension of carried objects is not limited by the dimensions of a container. Objects to be carried are hooked in two points. This is obtained, in the preferred embodiment, by providing a one-shoulder hooking carrier having a ring-ended wide shoulder strap, sufficiently short to stay in the shoulder zone of a user. At each ending ring a carrying cable is provided, ending in an anchor-shaped hook comprising two adjacent snap-hooks, one for load hooking, the other for connection to an element which is transversal between the two anchor-shaped hooks of the device. Said element useful to stabilize carrying. The device is particularly useful for plastic bag transportation.

1 . (currently amended): A shoulder strap carrying system comprising at least a one-shoulder carrier for the carrying of hooked objects, comprising: 
 at least one generally rectangular strap having only two ends and having a face for engaging with one shoulder of a user, wherein each strap end is a terminal end said strap being sufficiently short to stay within a shoulder zone of of the user, said strap configured for lying freely on the one shoulder of the user and for both said strap ends to simultaneously support a same item;    a first two ring-shaped securing means provided respectively only at said two ends of said strap;    at least two elongated flexible connector means each having a first end and a second end, said first ends of said at least two connector means respectively engaging said first ring-shaped securing means;    said at least two connector means being narrower than said strap and comprising means for engaging the items to be carried, whereby said items can be hung for carrying:    whereby it is possible to connect two of said carriers and to obtain a two-shoulder carrier.    
     
     
         2 . (currently amended): The shoulder strap carrying system according to  claim 1 , wherein said means for engaging with the items comprise at least two hooks respectively located at said second ends of said at least two flexible connector means.  
     
     
         3 . (currently amended): The shoulder strap carrying system according to  claim 2  further comprising a lower transversal element, said second ends of said two elongated flexible connector means being connected by means of said transversal element; 
 wherein said user can hand-maneuver said transversal element and stabilize said items thereby preventing said generally rectangular strap from sliding down from said shoulder.  
 
     
     
         4 . (currently amended): The shoulder strap carrying system according to  claim 3 , wherein said transversal element is a belt element.  
     
     
         5 . (currently amended): The shoulder strap carrying system according to  claim 1 , wherein: said means for engaging with the items to be carried comprise an anchor-shaped element having at least two adjacent hooks.  
     
     
         6 . (currently amended): The shoulder strap carrying system according to  claim 3 , wherein: 
 said means for engaging with the items to be carried comprise an anchor-shaped element having at least two adjacent hooks;    said items being carried hanging at one of said two adjacent hooks; and    said transversal element engaging with the other of said two adjacent hooks;    wherein said user can push said transversal element and stabilize said goods being carried hanging and preventing said generally rectangular strap from sliding down from said shoulder.    
     
     
         7 . (currently amended): The shoulder strap carrying system of  claim 1  further comprising a second identical one-shoulder carrier and at least one upper transversal element for connection of the shoulder strap of said shoulder carrier to the shoulder strap of said second shoulder carrier.  
     
     
         8 . (new): The shoulder strap carrying system of  claim 5  further comprising a second identical one-shoulder carrier and at least one upper transversal element for connection of the shoulder strap of said shoulder carrier to the shoulder strap of said second shoulder carrier.  
     
     
         9 . (new): The shoulder strap carrying system of  claim 6  further comprising a second identical one-shoulder carrier and at least one upper transversal element for connection of the shoulder strap of said shoulder carrier to the shoulder strap of said second shoulder carrier.  
     
     
         10 . (currently amended): The shoulder strap carrying system of  claim 1  further comprising a length-adjusting apparatus located on each of said elongated flexible connector means.
