Adjustable length strap assembly

摘要

A variable length strap including at least one elastic cord, such as a shock or bungee cord, to adjustably secure an article to a wearer is disclosed. At least one cord lock may be provided on the elastic cord to assist with adjustment of strap length by being selectively slidable along or anchored to the cord. The length of the strap may be adjusted by selectively moving the cord lock along the elastic cord either towards or away from one side of the article. At least one end of the elastic cord may be secured to the cord lock. The elastic cord may also have at least one end secured to the article, or the elastic cord may be slidably mounted at a junction on the article. A guide may be provided on the elastic cord, with the elastic cord slidable through the guide. The guide may keep the first and second portions of the elastic cord separate from one another.
