Abstract:
The subject is a hand held device that is made of acetal plastic. The use
of the device is to assist the guidance of the spool of poly strapping
underneath the pallet and loop over the top of the freight to secure the
freight onto a pallet to be tied down for shipping. The use of this
device has not been seen or used in the shipping industry. Presently,
dock personnel utilize broom handles or sticks to guide the strapping
underneath the pallet.Claims:
1. What I claim as my invention is that the dock strapper is a hand held
device for dock personnel to secure poly strapping underneath the pallet
onto the freight:The device works as a guide to allow easy gliding
beneath the pallet, on many different kinds of surfaces.Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001]None
FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH
[0002]None
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003]In my line of business, I have witnessed many dock workers trying to free handedly guide poly strapping underneath a pallet, using objects such as broom handles and wooden poles. They are blindly trying to secure freight with strapping and not knowing if the strapping has fed through the other side of the pallet.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004]With the Dock Strapper, packaging freight will greatly improve the amount of time it takes to secure freight to pallets. By feeding the poly strapping inside the incisions of the dock strapper, this allows the strapping to remain secure as the Dock Strapper is fed under the pallet. As the Dock Strapper is fed to the other side of the pallet, the worker can easily detach the strapping and strap the freight securely, without the worry of the strapping becoming wedged underneath the pallet.
DRAWING
[0005]FIG. 1 is a top view of the Dock Strapper showing two incisions where the poly strapping is fed through shown in FIG. 4.
[0006]FIG. 2 is the side section view showing the two incisions (4) and (5); also the material for the Dock Strapper.
[0007]FIG. 3 is the end section view showing incision (5) totaling one inch in length.
[0008]FIG. 4 is the actual threading of the Dock Strapper in an upward motion downward through incisions (4) and (5).
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING
[0009]To thread the Dock Strapper, the poly strapping is fed through incision (4) from the bottom and then in a looping motion upward and downward through incision (5). The end of the strapping in the Dock Strapper is bent to secure the hold of the strapping.
