ABSTRACT:
A self-cinching cargo sling adapted to encircle a load to facilitate the lifting thereof and comprising a length of flexible fabric webbing or the like which is arranged to define an inner loop and an outer loop superimposed about the inner loop. The inner and outer loops have overlapping portions which extend along about one-half of the periphery of the inner loop, and means are provided for maintaining the overlapping portions in relatively slideable, contiguous relationship. In operation, the loops are positioned to encircle a load, and a lifting force exerted on the outer loop to cinch the inner loop about the load. The frictional engagement between the overlapping portions of the loops acts to resist the release of the cinching force upon the release of the lifting force, and further prevents the lateral separation of the loops.
