Abstract

Disclosed is an object carrier comprising a combination of a strap member and a hook-and-fabric-type fastener. The fabric element of the hook-and-fabric-type fastener covers substantially the entire external surface of the strap member. A ring is attached to one end of the strap member and the hook element of the hook-and-fabric-type fastener is attached to the other end. There is a handle on the external surface near the ring. The strap member is wrapped tightly about an object to be carried, with the hook element drawn through the ring and then passed into engagement with the fabric element.
