Description
- The present regular U.S. Patent Application claims the benefits of United States Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/699,517, filed on Jul. 15, 2005.
- The present invention relates to straps or webs on articles, and, more specifically, to the devices and structures used for securing straps, and in particular to devices used for securing the loose ends of straps.
- Articles and gear of various types have straps or webbing for various purposes. Straps are used to adjust the effective size or length of various devices, to close flaps on pouches, and to secure one item or part of an item to another item or another part of the same item. Shoulder straps of articles to be carried use connectors or clips through which the strap is threaded. The strap is provided in a length sufficiently long for use in various configurations, and the connector or clip allows adjustment in the usable length of the strap. If the usable or “active” part of the strap is short, a long, free or unused end of the strap will hang from the connector or clip.
- For some, a dangling, loose end of a strap is merely unattractive. However, in some situations a dangling, loose end of a strap can present safety concerns. On athletic gear, work gear, book bags, backpacks and the like, a loose end of a strap can become entangled in other equipment or can obstruct or hinder the person using it or others nearby.
- For these and other reasons, military personal are required to secure all loose strap ends on all equipment. One method often used is simply to apply adhesive tape to secure the loose end of a strap to the active portion of the strap or to another part of the device or equipment. Taping loose ends requires military personnel to have a ready supply of tape available at all times. Tearing and applying tape each time a strap is adjusted is inconvenient and time consuming. Further, quick adjustment of a strap is difficult, as the adhesive tape must be removed prior to adjustment, and after adjustment of the strap the adhesive tape must be reapplied. Once removed, the previously used piece of tape often cannot be reused in that it will not hold adequately. A fresh piece of tape must be obtained, further complicating and extending the strap adjustment process. The inconvenience involved with adjusting a secured strap may discourage individuals from making necessary or desirable strap adjustments. After prolonged use of tape, adhesive residue accumulates on the strap, making adjustment through the connector or clip difficult.
- Elastic bands have been used to secure loose strap ends. The elastic band slides onto the strap and around folded portions of the loose end. However, after only limited use and over time, the elastic band can fatigue and loosen. The loose strap end may fall from the elastic band, and the elastic band can fail.
- What is needed in the art is a device to secure loose strap ends that is secure, strong and convenient to use.
- The present invention provides a reusable mechanical fastener that has a long operational life to secure loose strap ends without degrading the usefulness or life of the strap.
- In one aspect thereof, the present invention provides a strap securing device with a holder for supporting a portion of a strap to be secured, the holder being configured for attachment to a length of the strap and for receiving one or more folded layers of the same strap thereon. The holder has a base, a first end portion and a second end portion. A retainer includes a connected end connected to the holder and a distal end selectively connectable to and disconnectable from the holder. The retainer extends over the base from the first end portion to the second end portion. A latch selectively connects the distal end of the retainer to the second end portion.
- In another aspect thereof, the present invention provides a strap securing device with a holder including a base having first and second slots for receiving a strap placed therein, and first and second end portions at opposite ends of the base. An elastic cord is connected to the base at the first end portion and is selectively connectable to and disconnectable from the second end portion
- In still another aspect thereof, the present invention provides a strap securing device with a holder having a base and first and second end portions at opposite ends of the base. The base defines an eyelet and first and second slots. The slots are configured for receiving a strap placed therein. The second end portion defines first and second holes open through an edge of the second end portion. An elastic cord is connected to the eyelet, the cord being of sufficient length for extending over the base from the first end portion to the second end portion and being configured to enter the holes.
- An advantage of the present invention is providing a reusable device to secure loose ends of straps or webbing.
- Another advantage of the present invention is providing a strap securing device that can be reused without degrading the performance or life of the strap.
- Still another advantage of the present invention is providing a strap securing device that attaches and detaches loose ends of straps quickly, so that adjustment in the position of the strap can be made quickly and easily.
- A further advantage of the present invention is providing a strap securing device that can be attached to a strap that is in use, without having to detach, loosen or unthread the strap.
- Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon review of the following detailed description, claims and drawings in which like numerals are used to designate like features.

FIG. 1 in particular, astrap securing device 20 in accordance with the present invention is shown installed on astrap 22. As will become apparent from the following description in accordance with the drawings,strap securing device 20 can be used for securing portions of straps of various sizes in various installations. -
Strap 22 is an elongate web of material, such as, for example, natural or synthetic cloth, flexible leather and the like commonly used on devices of various types, including equipment, clothing, backpacks, bags and other devices.FIG. 1 illustratesstrap 22 as being an end portion of a strap having aterminal end 24. Accordingly,strap securing device 20 is shown installed on the strap end for securing multiple layers of the strap folded thereon. However, it should be understood from the description to follow thatstrap securing device 20 can be installed on another portion of the strap, such as a portion being used, and not only on an unused terminal portion of the strap. Further, in some applications and uses, a strap securing device of the present invention can be secured to or on an article in an appropriate position to receive and hold portions of a strap used on or with the article. -
Strap securing device 20 includes aholder 30 and aretainer 32 connected to and operable withholder 30 for securing a free end portion ofstrap 22 relative toholder 30. In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, as illustrated inFIG. 2 ,holder 30 is plastic of suitable strength, rigidity and other performance characteristics for the environment and installation on whichdevice 20 is used. However,holder 30 can be of other materials, such as metal.Retainer 32 is a looped elastic or elastic-typestretchable cord 34 having aterminator 36 securing ends (not shown) ofcord 34.Terminator 36 can be plastic or other material similar toholder 30, or can be of other suitable material, such as metal. -
Holder 30 extends from one side or edge ofstrap 22 to an opposite side or edge ofstrap 22.Holder 30 includes a base 40 supported onstrap 22, as will be described more fully hereinafter. At opposite ends ofbase 40, afirst end portion 42 and asecond end portion 44 extend along and outwardly of opposite side edges ofstrap 22. -
Base 40 defines afirst slot 46 and asecond slot 48 spaced from each other inbase 40. Slots and 46 and 48 are of sufficient length to receive the width ofstrap 22 so thatstrap 22 can be threaded throughslots device 20 onstrap 22. In the exemplary embodiment,entrance openings base 40 andslots Strap 22 can be inserted throughentrance openings slots strap 22, and it is not necessary to attachdevice 20 by threadingstrap 22 viaend 24 throughslots strap securing device 20 can be attached to strap 22 afterterminal end 24 is folded over and sewn or otherwise terminated. Even ifterminal end 24 is thicker than the width ofslots device 20 can be attached tostrap 22. Moreover,entrance openings device 20 along intermediate portions of a strap secured on its opposite ends. Thus,device 20 can be installed in the active or useful portion of the strap and have the unused portion secured thereby.Entrance openings broken device 20 and replacement with anew device 20 if necessary. - The arrangement of
slots strap 22 afterstrap 22 has been placed inslots FIG. 2 ,slots first end 42 and closer to one another nearsecond end 44. - An
eyelet 54 is provided inbase 40 near first and 42.Elastic cord 34 is secured toholder 30 by knotting, hitching or the like with a portion inserted througheyelet 54. As illustrated in the exemplary embodiment of the drawings,elastic cord 34 is passed througheyelet 54 and looped through itself. - First end 42 further includes
abutments base 40 and spaced from one another to allowelastic cord 34 to pass there between. Those skilled in the art should understand that other configurations also can be used.Abutments strap 22 secured bydevice 20. - As seen most clearly in
FIG. 3 ,second end portion 44 angles upwardly frombase 40 to provide clearance forterminator 36 positioned there beneath whendevice 20 is in use.Second end portion 44 forms a latch for engagingelastic cord 34 and specifically the distal end ofelastic cord 34, havingterminator 36 thereon. - In the exemplary embodiment,
second end portion 44 is an angular, plate-like extension frombase 40 and includes spaced, angularly inwardly extendingelongated holes elastic cord 34.Holes second portion 44 so thatcord 34 can be placed therein. In the exemplary configuration forholes outer edges inner edges elastic cord 34 therein. Thus, from the position illustrated inFIG. 1 ,elastic cord 34 can not be dislodged easily fromholes terminator 36. Instead, to dislodgecord 34,terminator 36 is rocked sideways, first in one direction and then in the opposite direction substantially parallel to strap 22, to thereby dislodge first one side ofelastic cord 34 from one of theholes elastic cord 34 from the other ofholes end surface 72 ofsecond end portion 44 is curved, having an apex betweenholes elastic cord 34 and to direct the separated opposed segments intoholes - A portion of
base 40 betweenslots other surface configurations 74 providing increased friction against movement ofstrap 22 alongbase 40. - In the use of
strap securing device 20,holder 30 is attached at a desired location alongstrap 22 by inserting portions ofstrap 22 throughentrance openings slots strap 22 is fan folded overholder 30, betweenabutments second end portion 44 on the opposite side. Afterstrap 22 is appropriately stacked and positioned,elastic cord 34 is pulled fromfirst end 42 towardsecond end 44, over the stacked portion ofstrap 22 onbase 40.Terminator 36 is pulledpast end surface 72 ofsecond end 44, andelastic cord 34 is hooked tosecond end portion 44 inholes End surface 72 separates the opposed segments ofelastic cord 34 ascord 34 is pulled there against.End surface 72 directs the opposed segments intoholes cord 34 holdscord 34 securely inholes cord 34 against the curved configuration ofinner edges holes cord 34 securely inholes Elastic cord 34 holds the stacked portions ofstrap 22 securely againstbase 40, betweenabutments second end 44 on the opposite side. - To free the secured portion of
strap 22,terminator 36 is pulled sideways in first one direction and then the opposite direction substantially parallel tocord 22, to dislodgeelastic cord 34 fromholes outer edges elastic cord 34 to slide easily out ofholes cord 34 tosecond end 44 is secure in that complete detachment requires pulling first in one direction and then in the other, opposite direction to free the opposite sides ofcord 34 fromholes terminator 36 is inadvertently snagged or pulled in only one direction,cord 34 is not completely dislodged. -
Strap securing device 20 is easy to install initially and easy to use both when securing portions ofstrap 22 and when freeing the secured portions ifstrap 22 is to be adjusted. The device is secure yet is not attached permanently to the strap and can be removed if desired. - As can be seen most clearly in
FIG. 1 , with the understanding from the side view ofFIG. 3 ,terminator 36 fits snuggly and smoothly beneathsecond end portion 44 even whendevice 20 is fitted against a relatively firm and flat surface. However, in some applications and uses of the present invention it may not be necessary to provide side support for the folded and stacked end ofstrap 22, or to provide the nested position forterminator 36. Further, the device may be easily threaded by inserting an end through the device.FIGS. 4-9 illustrate substantially flat variations of the present invention. - Strap securing device 80 (
