Moving strap connector

Abstract

The invention is a device utilized to connect moving straps together to enable the use of a longer strap than would otherwise be available. The devise includes an elongated connection body having a top and a bottom portion and at least two diametrically opposed connection walls extending from the top to the bottom portions. The connection walls form an interior bore having at least one set of connection slots, each set being composed of two diametrically opposed connection slots centrally located on each connection wall and extending through each connection wall to the interior bore. The invention therefore provides a means to lengthen a strap with a few extra connectors, rather than dealing with a large number of extra straps, all with different lengths.

1 . A moving strap connector comprising an elongated connection body having a top and a bottom and at least two diametrically opposed connection walls, extending from the top to the bottom, the top and bottom and connection walls forming an interior bore, the connection walls having at least one set of connection slots, each set of connection slots being composed of two diametrically opposed connection slots centrally located on each connection wall and extending through each connection wall to the interior bore.  
   
   
       2 . A moving strap connector according to  claim 1  wherein the connection body has two sets of diametrically opposed walls, each set of walls having two walls having equivalent length width and thickness, each wall having a top and bottom end and two side ends, the side ends of one set of walls being connected to the side ends of the other set of walls forming a square interior bore.  
   
   
       3 . A moving strap connector according to  claim 2  wherein each set of connection walls has a set of connection slots, each set of connection slots being composed of two diametrically opposed connection slots centrally located on each connection water and extending through each connection wall to the interior bore.  
   
   
       4 . A moving strap connector according to  claim 1  wherein the connection walls are composed of galvanized steel.  
   
   
       5 . A moving strap connector according to  claim 1  wherein the connection walls are composed of anodized aluminum.
