Wireless transmitting strap tension monitoring device

A cargo strap tension monitoring device comprising:

• an upper housing and a lower housing connected by a hinge and said cargo strap tension monitoring device, the upper housing having an upper housing hinge side and an upper housing latch side, the lower housing having a lower housing hinge side and a lower housing latch side, and said cargo strap tension monitoring device having a sensor and said cargo strap tension monitoring device is clamped onto a cargo strap used with a vehicle;
• a circuit board assembly having at least one status indicator, the circuit board assembly secured in the upper housing;
• an indicator window disposed on the upper housing for allowing light from the at least one status indicator to be seen by a user of the device;
• wherein the upper and lower housings are latched together on the latch side of the upper housing and lower housing by a latch;
• wherein the cargo strap rests on a first rigid support and a second rigid support and is in contact with a spring-loaded magnet holder and said spring-loaded magnet holder is a spring-loaded mechanism located between said first support and said second support such that the strap forces deflect the spring-loaded magnet holder as a function of strap tension;
• and
• wherein the spring-loaded magnet-holder includes a magnet interacting with said sensor to monitor tension in said cargo strap and said cargo strap tension monitoring device further comprising a battery positioned in the lower housing and a microprocessor disposed on the circuit board assembly.
