ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a pad, and more particularly to an anti-slip pad for straps, belts or the like.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Typical suitcases, bags, luggage articles, schoolbags, or even trousers comprise a body and a shoulder belt or a sling strap secured thereto for carrying purposes, etc. The typical fastening seat belts for vehicles are directly engaged onto the users and may hurt the users. For preventing the users from being directly engaged with the belt or the strap, a protective pad is provided and engaged onto the belt or the strap for engaging with the users. One typical pad for attaching onto the belt or the strap is shown in FIG.

and comprises a longitudinal pad body
10
having two slits

,

formed therein for threading the belt or the strap
20
. Normally, the pad body
10
is entirely engaged with the user and is made of plastic material and includes a hardness that the user may not feel comfortable; i.e., the pad body
10
may not provide a suitable comfortableness to the users.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional pads for straps or belts.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide an anti-slip pad for engaging onto the straps, the belts or the like, and for providing a comfortable cushioning structure to the users.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided an anti-slip pad for a belt comprising two or more groups of body members, each of the groups including two first body members and a second body member disposed between and coupled to the first body members, the second body member including two sides adjacent to the first body members and each having a slot formed therein for threading the belt, the second body member including a size smaller than that of the first body members for forming and defining a space between the second body member and the first body members and for receiving the belt.
The second body member and the first body members include two ends secured together at coupling bars; and are disposed parallel to each other and secured together at live hinges.
The first and the second body members each includes a chamber formed therein for forming a hollow structure. The body members of the first body members each includes a curved outer peripheral surface for engaging with a user.
The groups of body members include two adjacent first body members secured together at a live hinge, and each having a recess formed therein for receiving and for positioning the belt, or each having two shoulders formed therein for positioning the belt.
Further objectives and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a careful reading of a detailed description provided hereinbelow, with appropriate reference to accompanying drawings.
