20120275853 | Tie-Down Strap with Braking System and Method - A lever latch/strap tie system that can include a screw-down lock mechanism that securely holds a brake plate against the strap. Generally, the strap-locking latch of the present invention has a latch frame that receives a strap so that the strap lies flat against at least a portion of the latch frame. A locking lever engages the strap and presses a portion of the strap against the latch frame. A screw-down knob, or other locking knob abuts a braking plate where the braking plate is positioned above the strap. When the screw-down knob is tightened, it securely clamps the strap between the braking plate and the latch frame. The brake plate can contain at least one insert which contacts said strap when the screw-down clamp is tightened. This can be a grommet or other insert. This increases the friction and further prevents slipping. The entire product including the latch and hook can be scalable to different size straps such as 1 inch, 1.5 inches, 2 inches and the like. A slitted hook can allow a pre-sewn strap to be inserted during assembly. | 11-01-2012 |
