Abstract
A tension buckle is provided and includes a slider body and a toggle body, including features that permit “locking” the positioning of a load. The slider body includes a head with a strap receiving passageway extending there through from lateral sides thereof and positioned along a proximal end thereof, and a distal end having a neck positioned opposite the proximal end and tie section extending from the neck. The toggle body includes a top bar, a bottom bar, a first joining element, and a second joining element to provide a toggle strap receiving passageway extending though the toggle body from lateral sides thereof.

A tension buckle system comprising
- a slider body having:
- a head with a strap receiving passageway extending there through from lateral sides thereof and positioned along a proximal end thereof;
- and
- a distal end having a neck positioned opposite the proximal end and tie section extending from the neck, the tie section having a first support receiving passageway extending though the slider body from lateral sides thereof;
- and
- a toggle body having:
- a top bar;
- a locking plate extending distally from the top bar in a planar fashion and having a distal neck and a second support receiving passageway corresponding with the first support receiving passageway of the slider body;
- a bottom bar positioned apart and substantially parallel to the top bar;
- a first joining element connecting the top bar and the bottom bar along a first side thereof;
- a second joining element connecting the top bar and the bottom bar along a second side thereof and providing a toggle strap receiving passageway extending though the toggle body from lateral sides thereof and positioned offset from the strap receiving passageway;
- and
- a strap extending through the strap receiving passageway and then the toggle strap receiving passageway and then wrapped around the top bar and returned through the strap receiving passageway.
