Cargo Securing Device for Securing Cargo

A cargo securing device comprising:

• a flexible and lengthy attachment means having a first end portion and a second end portion;
• a peripherally rotatable storage spool onto which the first end portion of the attachment means is fastened and is spoolable upon;
• a peripherally rotatable, lockable and releasable tightening spool provided with a transverse through-opening;
• and
• a common support structure for supporting said storage spool and tightening spool, said support structure being provided with at least one fastening device to be fixed to an external anchor object;
• wherein the storage spool and the tightening spool are arranged separate from one another;
• wherein the second and free end portion of the attachment means is conducted from the storage spool via the through-opening of the tightening spool for tightening of the attachment means during securing of cargo, and for free passage of the attachment means whilst being fed out;
• and
• wherein the tightening spool is connected to an arm extending out from the tightening spool and being rotatable around the tightening spool for supply of torque thereto, insofar as peripheral rotation of the arm in the tightening direction of the tightening spool will spool the attachment means onto the tightening spool, thereby shortening and tightening the attachment means for the locking thereof in its taut position, wherein the storage spool is arranged within a path of rotation for the outer and free end of the arm, whereby the cargo securing device gets a compact and space-saving shape and also is capable of producing a large torque relative to the size of the cargo securing device.
