Abstract
A unit is provided where there is, included, a grip portion (8), a strap portion (11), and a buckle portion (14), which can be encircled around a load to facilitate bundling, carrying and storing of that load and can be attached to the load without having to set down that load. The unit will remain around load until removed because of the friction between the strap portion (11) and buckle portion (14). Unit may also be semi-permanently attached to a part of the said load so as to prevent the loss of the unit. For example: A person may insert a rope (62) through the dog bone slots (47) (50) to retain the unit when the unit is not being used to bundle said rope (62). A hole (29) is provided in strap portion (11) so unit may be hung on a nail or other protruding object. A flap (23) in the grip portion is also provided. This not only strengthens the grip portion (8), but also displaces the weight of the load throughout a persons hand (59). The unit is adjustable and a multitude of units may be coupled together by inserting the grip portion (8) of one unit into the buckle portion (14) of another unit to create one large unit.
