Abstract
A cam buckle assembly for cargo and other items that responds elastically to the forces acting on the cam buckle assembly thereby preventing the tied-down item from escaping its restraints. The cam buckle assembly does not over-stress the item being tied-down by providing an adjustable elastic member that can be adapted to the tie-down requirements of the cargo.
