Patent ID: 8662318

Claim:
An apparatus ( 10 ) for carrying and storing an object, comprising: a flexible, substantially “T” shaped member ( 12 ) comprising a first section ( 14 ) that has a longitudinally extending axis ( 16 ) and which extends to a distal end ( 18 ), and a second section ( 20 ) that is transverse to the first section ( 14 ), the flexible, substantially “T” shaped member ( 12 ) having a front side ( 23 ) and a rear side ( 24 ), the second section ( 20 ) comprising a first portion ( 26 ) that is orthogonal to the longitudinally extending axis ( 16 ) and extends to a first distal end ( 28 ) in a first direction ( 30 ) and a second portion ( 32 ) that is orthogonal to the longitudinally extending axis ( 16 ) and extends to a second distal end ( 33 ) in a second direction ( 34 ) that is opposite to the first direction ( 30 ); a plurality of fastening devices ( 40 ) on the front side ( 23 ) of the substantially “T” shaped member ( 12 ), wherein at least one fastening device ( 40 , 40 A) is located on the first section ( 14 ) adjacent to the second section ( 20 ) and at least one fastening device ( 40 , 40 B) is on the first portion ( 26 ) of the second section ( 20 ) adjacent the first distal end ( 28 ), the apparatus ( 10 ) further comprising a plurality of mating fastening devices ( 42 ) on the rear side ( 24 ) of the substantially “T” shaped member ( 12 ), wherein each of the fastening devices ( 40 ) on the front side ( 23 ) are configured to be removably attached to a corresponding mating fastener ( 42 ) on the rear side ( 24 ), wherein at least one of the mating fastening devices ( 42 , 42 A) is on the first section ( 14 ) adjacent the distal end ( 18 ) of the first section ( 14 ), and wherein at least one mating fastening device ( 42 B) is on the second portion ( 32 ) of the second section ( 20 ) adjacent the second distal end ( 33 ); and wherein the first portion ( 26 ) and the second portion ( 32 ) each has a length that is sufficient to allow the first portion ( 26 ) and the second portion ( 32 ) to be inserted through an object and then attached together with the fastening device ( 40 B) on the first portion ( 26 ) and the mating fastening device ( 42 B) on the second portion ( 32 ).
