ABSTRACT:
A sling for holding an object includes a support member with a rotatable member carried by and rotatable relative to the support member. The rotatable member has first and second ends which extend laterally from the support member with a flexible support for looping about the object to be held having one end secured to the first end of the rotatable member and a second end for releasably engaging with the second end of the rotatable member. The second end of the rotatable member is configured to retain the second end of the flexible support engaged therewith when the rotatable member is in one position while the flexible support holds the object and to release the second end of the flexible support when the rotatable member is rotated to a second position. Actuating means are associated with the rotatable member for rotation of the rotatable member to the one position to hold the object with the flexible support and for rotation of the rotatable member to the second position for disengagement of the second end of the flexible support from the second end of the rotatable member to release the sling from the object.
