Abstract:

A strap for bearing the load of an object is disclosed. The strap includes a loop assembly rotatably attached to each end of a connector. Each loop assembly is a continuous loop of material, or two or more pieces of material joined together. The connector allows the strap to be placed on the shoulder of a user when transporting the object in a single-shoulder configuration. Each loop is connected to an object at a point opposite the elongated connector by an attachment having an aperture, thereby allowing the loop to move freely therethrough. The strap converts from a single-shoulder configuration to a dual-shoulder configuration, without needing to disconnect the strap from the object or removing the strap from the user, by the user extending an arm through each of the loops thereby transitioning the load of the object from the connector on one shoulder to a loop on each shoulder.
