Sled with strap-anchor

Abstract

A sled includes a hull having walls defining an inboard hole. A lip extending outward from the hall forms an outboard hole opposed to the inboard hold. A support member extends through the inboard hold and the outboard hole, as well as through the hole of a strap, thereby securing the strap to the hull.

1 . A sled comprising: 
 a hull having 
 a wall defining an inboard hole;  
 an outwardly extending lip defining an outboard hole, the outboard hole being opposed to the inboard hole;  
   a strap having a strap-hole; and    a support member extending through the strap hole, the inboard hole, and the outboard hole.    
     
     
         2 . The sled of  claim 1 , further comprising first and second fins extending outward from the hull, the first and second fins being disposed on either side of the inboard hole.  
     
     
         3 . (Cancelled)  
     
     
         4 . The sled of  claim 1 , wherein the support member comprises a threaded bolt.  
     
     
         5 . The sled of  claim 4 , further comprising a wherein the nut configured to engage the threaded bolt.  
     
     
         6 . A sled comprising: 
 a hull having 
 walls defining an inboard hole;  
 an outwardly extending lip having walls defining an outboard hole, the outboard hole being opposed to the inboard hole; and  
   a support member extending through the inboard hole, and the outboard hole.    
     
     
         7 . (Cancelled)  
     
     
         8 . A sled comprising: 
 a strap-engaging member for receiving a shear force from a strap engaged thereto;    a hull having an extended support region for receiving the strap-engaging member, the extended support region being configured to suppress pivoting of the strap-engaging member in response to the shear force.    
     
     
         9 . The sled of  claim 8 , wherein the extended support region comprises a wall forming an inboard aperture for receiving a proximal portion of the strap-engaging member and a wall forming an outboard aperture for receiving a distal portion of the strap-engaging member.  
     
     
         10 . The sled of  claim 8 , further comprising an anti-rotation element disposed to suppress rotation of the strap-engaging member when the strap-engaging member is engaged by the extended support region.  
     
     
         11 . The sled of  claim 10 , wherein the anti-rotation element comprises restraining fins extending from the hull, the restraining fins being disposed to be in mechanical communication with the strap-engaging member when the strap-engaging member is
