Abstract

An exemplary embodiment includes a framework of straps designed to substantially enclose a rectangular gasoline can or similar object, and to which bags may be attached to contain tools, accessories for the machine to be powered by the gasoline in the can, or bottles of water and snacks for the user. The straps are secured to each other at generally right angles, and the bags may be removable.

       9 . The device of  claim 7 , further comprising a male-female quick release mechanism in one or more straps, whereby one or more straps may be opened to facilitate entry or exit of the object into or out of the framework.  
   
   
       10 . The device of  claim 8 , further comprising a male-female quick release mechanism in one or more straps, whereby one or more straps may be opened to facilitate entry or exit of the object into or out of the framework.  
   
   
       11 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the bag securement means comprises (a) a Velcro pair wherein one Velcro element is attached to the bag and the other Velcro element is attached to the strap attachment means or strap, or (b) a loop attached to the bags through which straps may pass.  
   
   
       12 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein the bag securement means comprises (a) a Velcro pair wherein one Velcro element is attached to the bag and the other Velcro element is attached to the strap attachment means or strap, or (b) a loop attached to the bags through which a strap may pass.  
   
   
       13 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the device is sized and shaped to fit around a substantially rectangular hollow container.  
   
   
       14 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein the device is sized and shaped to fit around a substantially rectangular hollow container.
