A strap with retrieving components includes an elongated strip of flexible material having a central portion extending along a longitudinal axis there through. The retrieving components are secured at opposite ends of the central portion of flexible material and comprise first and second rigid, hook shaped components, each secured at opposite ends of the central portion of flexible material so that the first and second hooked shaped components are disposed in a plane through the central portion of the strip of flexible material. Each of the first and second hook shaped components are curved in opposite directions from the longitudinal axis so that a free end of the first hooked shaped component extends in an opposite direction from a free end of the second hooked shaped component.

1. A strap with retrieving components, comprising: an elongated strip of flexible material including a central portion extending along a longitudinal axis there through;the retrieving components secured at opposite ends of said central portion of flexible material;the retrieving components comprising first and second rigid, hook shaped components, each secured at opposite ends of the central portion of flexible material so that the first and second hooked shaped components are disposed in a plane through the central portion of the strip of flexible material; andeach of the first and second hook shaped components being generally U-shaped, rigid and curved in opposite directions from the longitudinal axis which is an axis of symmetry through the strap of flexible material and the first and second rigid, hook shaped components so that a free end of the first hooked shaped component extends in an opposite direction from a free end of the second hooked shaped component. 2. The strap as defined in claim 1, wherein the first and second hooked shaped components are formed of metal. 3. The strap as defined in claim 1, wherein said strap includes a central portion having lateral edges and which is dimensioned and configured to be gripped by the hand or to rest on a human shoulder and extend to each side thereof. 4. The strap as defined in claim 3, wherein said central portion of the strap has a flat, textured surface to prevent slipping when carried by hand or supported on a shoulder. 5. The strap as defined in claim 1, wherein the first and second rigid, hook shaped components are formed of a rigid material, selected from the group comprising plastic and metal. 6. The strap as defined in claim 1, wherein the first and second rigid, hook shaped components have a first connector section formed with a slot to receive end portions of the strap. 7. The strap as defined in claim 6, wherein the first connector section extends away from the strap in the direction of the longitudinal axis. 8. The strap as defined in claim 7, wherein the first and second rigid, hook shaped components each have a second connector section which are connected at one end to their respective first connector sections. 9. The strap as defined in claim 8, wherein the second connector sections each extend along the longitudinal axis and in opposite directions from each other. 10. The strap as defined in claim 9, wherein the first and second rigid, hook shaped components each have a third connector section connected at one end to the outer end of their second connector section. 11. The strap as defined in claim 10, wherein the third connector sections each have an inner surface formed within the inner curvature of the first and second hook components. 12. The strap as defined in claim 11, wherein the third connector sections each have a third end portion that extends in the direction of the longitudinal axis, the third end portion having a first end portion connected to its respective second connector section and a free end. 13. The strap as defined in claim 12, wherein the free end of the third connector sections face each other and are disposed on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis. 14. The strap as defined in claim 12, wherein the third end portions are spaced from the first connector sections a distance to form hook-like opposed lateral openings which form the hooking structure of first and second hooking components. 15. A strap with retrieving components, comprising: an elongated strip of flexible material including a central portion extending along a longitudinal axis there through;the retrieving components secured at opposite ends of said central portion of flexible material;the retrieving components comprising first and second rigid, hook shaped components, each secured at opposite ends of the central portion of flexible material so that the first and second hooked shaped components are disposed in a plane through the central portion of the strip of flexible material; andeach of the first and second hook shaped components being rigid and curved in opposite directions from the longitudinal axis which is an axis of symmetry through the strap of flexible material and the first and second rigid, hook shaped components so that a free end of the first hooked shaped component extends in an opposite direction from a free end of the second hooked shaped component; andwherein the first and second hooked shaped components are formed of rigid plastic. 16. The strap as defined in claim 15, wherein said flexible material comprises plastic. 17. The strap as defined in claim 16, wherein the flexible plastic material comprises polyethylene. 18. The strap as defined in claim 15, wherein the first and second rigid, hook shaped components are generally U-shaped hooks. 19. The strap as defined in claim 15, wherein the first and second rigid, hook shaped components are disposed on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis.
