A flexible folding sling includes a flexible elongate preform strap having first and second ends, each of the first and second ends folded inward toward a strap center to form respective first and second loops. The first and second ends are fastened to the strap center with each of the first and second loops having a half-twist such that each of the first and second loops is a tear-shaped Mobius loop. The flexible folding sling assists a user in carrying bag(s) having handles, or other objects that include handles or like structure. When used to carry bags, the sling can be configured as a hand-sling, a shoulder-sling or a back-sling. When used as a hand-sling, the sling engages the user's wrist in a secure and comfortable manner. This prevents load transmission through the easily tired hand muscles and ligaments, extending the amount of time the user can carry a load. This also allows the user to maintain use of her hand and fingers while the sling is used.

A fastening device includes a self-adhesive part having a self-adhesive surface and a connecting surface which is situated on the opposite side from the self-adhesive surface. A flexible strip extends from the connecting surface of the self-adhesive part. The flexible strip is joined to the self-adhesive part by means of a connecting element disposed in a region on the connecting surface. This region faces a central region of the self-adhesive surface. Thus, a traction force exerted on the flexible strip is distributed substantially uniformly over the self-adhesive surface.

A fishing pole caddy including a first strap having an interior end and an exterior end. The caddy includes a second strap having an interior end and an exterior end, the interior end of the second strap is selectably removably coupled to the interior end of the first strap by a coupling device. The caddy includes an effective length adjustment device functionally coupled to at least one of the first strap and second strap such that an effective length thereof is adjustable. The caddy includes a first sheath and a second sheath coupled to the exterior end of the first and second strap respectively and shaped and orientated to receive an end of a fishing pole from an interior direction corresponding with the interior end of the first strap and second strap.

A strap may be removably attachable to a container. The strap may include a retractor having an opening, a retraction spring and a brake. The strap may further include a strip of flexible material attached to the retraction spring and extending through the opening of the retractor. The strap may also include clips attaching the retractor and distal end of the flexible material to the container. The strip of flexible material may move from a fully retracted position, where the distal end of the strip of flexible material is nearest the retractor, relative to the entire length of the strip of flexible material, to an extended position where the distal end of the strip of flexible material is furthest from the retractor. The retraction spring may bias the strip of flexible material into/toward the fully retracted position.

A carrier assembly for a harness for carrying a motor-driven power tool, the carrier assembly including a back plate and an interface plate including connections for shoulder straps. The back plate includes a coupling interface on a front face arranged to be removably connected to a corresponding coupling interface on a rear face of the interface plate. The coupling interface of the back plate is adapted to be connected to and disconnected from the coupling interface of the interface plate in an at least partially translational or linear movement which is substantially parallel to the back plate.

Disclosed is an invention in the field of food preparation. The present disclosure describes a holster apparatus for holding one or more food preparation utensils capable of being worn by a person for use during food preparation. The holster configuration is capable of maintaining health standards required for a food preparation environment and may be patterned or configured to house various types of food preparation utensils. The holster of the present disclosure is capable of adjustment for individual fit and may include further holsters or receptacles for holding utensils.

An example powered appliance support strap may include a first portion to extend from a continuous loop of a shoulder strap, a second portion to extend from a powered appliance to be manually carried by a person wearing the shoulder strap and a stretcher extending between the first portion and the second portion. The stretcher does not undergo stretching until experiencing a stretch triggering load at least 1 kg and no greater than 7 kg.

Golf bag strap systems and methods to manufacture the same are generally described herein. In one example a strap system may include a strap connector having a body portion and a first and second strap arm portion extending diagonally therefrom. A plurality of strap fitments may be pivotally coupled to the strap connector at or proximate longitudinal end portions of the first and second strap arm portions. Other examples may be described and claimed.

A carrier pouch includes a pouch section, and a carrier attachment assembly coupled with the pouch section. The carrier attachment assembly enables a wearer to carry the carrier pouch with hands-free mobility, and includes a rigid assembly and a number of elastic bands, with the rigid assembly being elongated and having a proximal end and a distal end as extremities thereof. The distal end of the rigid assembly comfortably tucks in an inner side of a waistband of a garment worn by the wearer. The number of elastic bands extends across and over or under the rigid assembly to enable positioning of the carrier attachment assembly coupled with the pouch section on a limb of the wearer or the waistband of the garment. The rigid assembly is movable outside or inside the number of elastic bands to attach the carrier pouch on a waist or the limb of the wearer.

A device for adjusting the length of a cord for carrying a wind instrument comprises two parts which can be pushed into one another, of which the first cup-shaped part has a recess and four openings and the second part has, as insert, a groove with a U-turn as well as a recess and two guide grooves. A cord piece is guided around the groove, out of the device and through an eyelet of a hook. A further cord piece is guided through the guide grooves and the four openings. The device allows the cord piece to be guided through the groove, which is completely separated from the guidance of cord pieces through the guide grooves. The guide grooves contain elements for deflecting and inhibiting the movement of the cord pieces. The device enables a stable and torsion-proof handling of the length adjustment of the cord. The device makes it possible that the cord length cannot adjust automatically, not even if the cord is not tensioned.
