ABSTRACT:
An adjustable length carrying strap that can be automatically adjusted, with little user manipulation, to tighten around an object to be carried. By utilizing two free-sliding connectors on each end of the carrying strap, the device easily and automatically tightens around the object to be carried when the object is lifted by the strap and easily and automatically loosens up when the user puts the object and strap down. This leaves the hands of the user free to perform other tasks. Although not required, an adjuster is provided to enable the length of the strap to be lengthened or shortened depending on the desires of the user. Further, the user may also quickly and easily release the object by uncoupling the two free-sliding connectors on either or both ends of the strap, thereby opening securing loops and releasing the carried object(s).
