ABSTRACT:
A strap that incorporates a breakaway connector that extends between a chain on a switch contained on a fixture and a bedpost or other fixed or stationary object. The strap has an attachment mean, such as hook and loop fastener, on a lower end for making a loop to attach the strap to the object. The upper end has a breakaway connector with a chain attaching device attached. The chain attaching device attaches the strap with the breakaway connector to the chain on a switch on a fixture. The breakaway connector disconnects the strap from the switch if the strap is pulled to hard, yanked or jerked. The breakaway connector disconnects to protect the switch from breaking. The connector is easily reconnected once disconnected. A shock absorber is also provided for additional protection and to prevent unnecessary disconnects during momentary pulls near or slightly over the disconnect tension.
