Abstract
A lashing device includes: a base seat having a bottom wall, and two pivot lugs which cooperate with the bottom wall to define a pivot slot thereamong, and each of which is formed with an pivot hole communicating with the pivot slot; a pivot pin extending through the pivot hole of each of the pivot lugs; and an eye plate received in the pivot slot, and having a middle portion that is formed with a pivot hole provided for the pivot pin to movably extends therethrough, and first and second wing portions which are connected to opposite ends of the middle portion, respectively, and each of which has an elongated hole having an arc section. The arc axes of the arc sections of the elongated holes are aligned with the center axis of the pivot hole.

A lashing device comprising:
- a base seat having a bottom wall, and two spaced-apart pivot lugs that are connected to said bottom wall, and that cooperate with said bottom wall to define a pivot slot thereamong, each of said pivot lugs being formed with a pivot hole communicating with said pivot slot, said pivot holes extending along a center axis;
- a pivot pin extending through said pivot hole of each of said pivot lugs;
- and
- an eye plate received in said pivot slot, and having
- a middle portion that is formed with a pivot hole, said pivot pin movably extending through said pivot hole such that said eye plate is rotatable about said pivot pin relative to said base seat,
- a first wing portion that has a first connecting end connected to one of opposite ends of said middle portion, a first distal end being distal from said middle portion, and a first elongated hole disposed between said first connecting end and said first distal end, said first elongated hole having a first arc section centered at a first arc axis, and
- a second wing portion that has a second connecting end connected to the other one of said opposite ends of said middle portion, a second distal end being distal from said middle portion, and a second elongated hole disposed between said second connecting end and said second distal end, said second elongated hole having a first arc section centered at a first arc axis;
- wherein the first arc axis of said first arc section of said first elongated hole and the first arc axis of said first arc section of said second elongated hole are coplanar with the center axis, and are equidistant from the center axis.
