Patent ID: 7484273

Claim:
A method of using a coupling device for providing redundant attachment between an arm of a user and a device having a closed handle, the method comprising: obtaining a coupling device having first and second ends, said coupling device comprising a strap having a first portion and a second portion and each portion having a first side surface and a second side surface, said first end including a first loop defining a first opening and said second end including a second loop defining a second opening, and wherein said first loop defining said first opening is formed by attaching a portion of said first side surface of said first portion to a portion of said second side surface of said first portion, such that said first loop is oriented in a substantially open position; routing either said first loop or said second loop through the closed handle; moving a distal tip of said second loop toward said first opening without twisting said coupling device more than 45 degrees from a longitudinal axis of said coupling device; inserting said second loop through said first opening without twisting said coupling device more than 45 degrees from the longitudinal axis of said coupling device; and pulling said second loop through said first opening to tighten said coupling device to said closed handled device without twisting said coupling device more than 45 degrees from the longitudinal axis of said coupling device.
