Heavy load sling protective pad

摘要

A heavy load protective pad for use on industrial slings includes fasteners on a sleeve forming member which are secured together to encircle and secure the protective pad on an industrial sling at a desired location. Pockets formed in the protective pad house a pair of magnets which help the pad stay in place while attached to metal surfaces and a pair of block spacers which, in one configuration, serve to space the protective pad and underlying sling away from the load which is being lifted or pulled.

主权项

1. A heavy load industrial sling protective pad, comprising:
only a single sleeve forming member; fasteners on opposing first and second sides of said sleeve forming member wherein when said fasteners are joined, said sleeve forming member forms a sleeve which will encircle and secure the sleeve forming member to an industrial sling, first and second pockets defined by stitching in said sleeve forming member,
said stitching including a first portion generally along a center line of said sleeve forming member between said first and second sides of said sleeve forming member,said stitching including a second portion generally perpendicular to said center line in at least one of said opposing first and second sides of said sleeve forming member,wherein said first and second portion of said stitching forms said first and second pockets in said at least one of said first and second sides of said sleeve forming member; a block spacer positioned in each of said first and second pockets, each of said block spacers having height, length and width dimensions wherein said height dimension is sufficient to space an edge or a corner of a load away from said industrial sling by forming a gap between said block spacers in said first and second pockets and said second portion of said stitching when said sleeve forming member is positioned on said industrial sling in a first configuration with said block spacers facing said load; and a magnet positioned in at least one of said first and second pockets.
