Abstract
Abstract A strap support comprising a selectively recessed strap retaining member disposed on the upper surface of an appropriately contoured base member affixable to a mounting member. The inwardly directed surfaces of adjacent, upstanding, perpendicularly disposed portions of the retaining member in combination with an overhanging member partially define an openended strap head receiving cavity selectively aligned relative to an appropriately proportioned extending strap body receiving passage in one of the upstanding portions to provide both retaining and guide means for an extending strap body insertable therein. A plurality of upstanding recessed portions may be arranged in juxtaposed relationship to provide a multiple of spaced, opposing strap receiving passages. The base member may be provided with suitable mounting means such as an adhesive layer, fastener receiving openings, or the like.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
203 words
A strap support comprising: a base portion having a first surface and a second surface; and a strap retaining portion disposed on said base portion first surface; said strap retaining portion having a first upright portion, a second upright portion adjacent said first upright portion and disposed in generally perpendicular planar relationship therewith, and an overhanging portion depending outwardly from said first upright portion and spaced above said base portion first surface a first predetermined distance, said overhanging portion being disposed generally adjacent said second upright portion and spaced therefrom a second predetermined distance, the adjacent inner surfaces of said first upright portion and said second upright portion in combination with the downwardly directed surface of said overhanging portion at least partially defining a first cavity proportioned to receive the enlarged end of a strap, said spacing between said overhanging portion and said second upright portion at least partially defining a second cavity proportioned to receive the extending portion of a strap; said second upright portion having a passage therethrough selectively proportioned to provide guide means for orienting the extending portion of a strap in general alignment with a receiving aperture in the enlarged end of a strap positionable within said first cavity.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
