A strap securing assembly is configured to be positioned on a structure and securely retain a strap with respect to the structure. The assembly includes a base configured to abut a surface of the structure. The base has a strap passage formed therethrough. The strap passage is configured to allow a strap to pass into the base. The assembly also includes a lever rotatably secured to the base through a hinge. The lever is configured to rotate with respect to the base and securely crimp portions of the strap between the lever and the base.
Claims29
A strap securing assembly configured to be positioned on a structure and securely retain a strap with respect to the structure, the strap securing assembly comprising:
- a base configured to abut a surface of the structure, said base having a first strap passage formed therethrough, said first strap passage configured to allow a strap to pass into said base;
- and
- a lever rotatably secured to said base through a hinge, said lever configured to rotate with respect to said base and securely crimp portions of the strap between said lever and said base.
A strap securing assembly comprising:
- a strap having a first end anchored into or onto a structure and a second end that is free;
- a base configured to abut a surface of the structure or a mat over the structure, said base having a first strap passage formed therethrough, a portion of said strap being positioned within said strap passage;
- and
- a lever rotatably secured to said base through a hinge, said lever rotating with respect to said base and securely crimping said strap between said lever and said base at a plurality of right angles.
A strap securing assembly configured to be positioned on a structure and securely retain a strap with respect to the structure, the strap securing assembly comprising:
- a base configured to abut a surface of the structure, said base having a first strap passage formed therethrough, said first strap passage configured to allow a strap to pass into said base, said base comprising a first internal wall and a second internal wall, said first internal wall being perpendicular to said first strap passage, wherein a first portion of the strap is configured to be crimped at a right angle between said strap passage and said first internal wall, said second internal wall being perpendicular to said first internal wall and parallel with said strap passage, wherein a second portion of the strap is configured to be crimped at a right angle between said first internal wall and said second internal wall;
- a lever rotatably secured to said base through a hinge, said lever configured to rotate with respect to said base and securely crimp a strap between said lever and said base;
- and
- wherein one of said lever or said base comprises two opposing latches separated from one another by a cavity, the other of said lever or said base comprising an integral reciprocal portion configured to latchably secure to said at two latches, wherein a portion the strap is configured to be trapped within said cavity when said lever is securely closed with respect to said base, wherein the assembly is configured to allow a free end of the strap to pass therethrough in a direction that is perpendicular or parallel to a plane of the surface of the structure to which said base is to be secured.
