Carrying Device

Abstract

A carrying device includes a generally planar framework and a plurality of straps coupled to the framework. At least two of the plurality of straps extend horizontally across the framework, and at least another two of the plurality of straps extend vertically across the framework, wherein each of the at least two horizontally extending straps intersects each of the at least two vertically extending straps. Further, each of the plurality of straps includes a loop, and each loop comprises two opposing vortices, the opposing vortices extending away from a perimeter of the framework thereby defining a pair of spaced apart handles.

1 . A carrying device, comprising:
 a generally planar framework; and   a plurality of straps coupled to said framework, at least two of said plurality of straps extending horizontally across said framework, and at least another two of said plurality of straps extending vertically across said framework, wherein each of said at least two horizontally extending straps intersects each of said at least two vertically extending straps;   wherein each of said plurality of straps comprises a loop, and each loop comprises two opposing vortices, said opposing vortices extending away from a perimeter of said framework thereby defining a pair of spaced apart handles;   wherein said framework includes a substrate layer that is flexible and a backing layer coupled to the substrate layer via lamination, said substrate layer being constructed of a woven material that is porous and said backing layer being constructed of canvas and operable for sliding;   wherein said plurality of straps comprises two straps extending vertically across said framework, and four straps extending horizontally across said framework, said horizontally extending straps intersecting said vertically extending straps; and wherein said straps form twelve handles disposed around a perimeter of said framework.   
     
     
         2 . The carrying device as in  claim 1 , wherein each pore is configured to stop solid articles from passing therethrough. 
     
     
         3 . The carrying device as in  claim 1 , wherein backing layer is bonded to said substrate later using dry lamination. 
     
     
         4 . The carrying device as in  claim 1 , wherein each of said spaced apart handles includes a grip. 
     
     
         5 . The carrying device of  claim 1 , further comprising a border coupled to a perimeter of said framework, wherein said border overlaps a portion of each of said straps. 
     
     
         6 . The carrying device of  claim 5 , wherein said straps and said border are sewn to said framework. 
     
     
         7 . The carrying device of  claim 1 , wherein said framework is generally rectangular.
