Patent attributes
A holding device is attachable to a rail, cleat, etc., of a boat or other object such that the holding device holds a cooler or similar objects without using up passenger space. The holding device is a flexible rectangular shaped basket member that has a rectangular rail strap onto the sides of which are attached latitudinal straps via closed loops thereon, and onto the ends of which are attached longitudinal straps also via closed loops. A relatively longer (compared to the rail strap) handle strap passes through the loops of the outer latitudinal straps and possibly the loops of longitudinal straps. The handle strap can be used to carry or support the basket and its cargo in a one handle or two handle configuration, or to secure the basket to an appropriate object such as a railing or a cleat.
