Abstract

A three piece lifting system for lifting loads such as furniture during a move. The system has a first elongated strap that has a plurality of loops at its first and second ends that receive second and third elongated straps. The second and third elongated straps each have shoulder loops that go on the shoulders of workers such that when assembled the first elongated strap engages the load so that the workers are enabled to lift the load off the ground.

Claims

1. A three piece lifting system comprising:

a first elongated strap extending from a first end having a plurality of spaced apart loops to a second end having a plurality of spaced apart loops;

a second elongated strap extending from a first end having a first shoulder loop to a second end having a second shoulder loop and wherein the second elongated strap is disposed through one of the plurality of spaced apart loops of the first end of the first elongated strap;

a third elongated strap extending from a first end having a first shoulder loop to a second end having a second shoulder loop and wherein the third elongated strap is disposed through one of the plurality of spaced apart loops of the second end of the first elongated strap; and

wherein the first elongated strap engages a load so that two workers wearing the second and third elongated straps are enabled to carry the load.

2. The three piece lifting system of claim 1 wherein the first shoulder loop of the second elongated strap has a shoulder pad.

3. The three piece lifting system of claim 2 wherein the shoulder pad is made of a material that increases friction between the second elongated strap and a worker.

4. The three piece lifting system of claim 1 wherein the first elongated strap is centered under the load when the first elongated strap engages the load.

5. The three piece lifting system of claim 1 wherein the shoulder loops of the second and third elongated straps have a greater diameter than the plurality of loops at the first and second ends of the first elongated strap.

6. The three piece lifting system of claim 1 wherein the system is adjusted by disposing the second and third elongated straps through the plurality of loops at the first and second ends of the first elongated strap.

7. The three piece lifting system of claim 1 wherein the second and third elongated straps each have a back brace.
