Tie down strap system for vehicles

A tie down strap system for securing a vehicle to a platform of at least one transport medium, the tie down strap system comprising:

• at least a pair of tie down strap assemblies for securing the vehicle to the platform, each tie down strap assembly comprising:
• a first strap member having a front end attached to a first securing means and a rear end having a first holding loop, the first securing means having a first bend and a second bend, the first bend secured to a clamp member on the at least one transport medium and the second bend resides in a front end loop by folding the front end of the first strap member over the second bend and sewn thereon;
• a second strap member having a first end attached to a second securing means and a second end having a second holding loop, the second securing means having a first bend and a second bend;
• a connecting means having a first slot and a second slot connecting the first strap member and the second strap member, the rear end of the first strap member being passed through the first slot to suspend therefrom and the first end of the second strap member being looped through the second slot and the first bend of the second securing means and sewn thereon thereby defining a first end loop and the second end of the second strap member extends and suspends from the first bend of the second securing means;
• and
• an attachment means having a housing containing a magnetic material attached to the first end of the second strap member, the attachment means being adaptable to secure the tie down strap assembly on a top or backside portion of a cab of the at least one transport medium;
• whereby when the vehicle is loaded on the platform of the at least one transport medium, the second end of the second strap member is encircled over a handlebar of the vehicle and looped the second holding loop over the second bend of the second securing means thereby the tie down strap assembly secures the vehicle firmly to the platform of the at least one transport medium.

A method for securing a vehicle to a platform of at least one transport medium, the method comprising the steps of:

• a) providing a tie down strap system having at least a pair of tie down strap assemblies, each tie down strap assembly comprising a first strap member having a front end attached to a first securing means having a first bend and a second bend that residing in a front end loop by folding the front end of the first strap member over the second bend of the first securing means and sewn thereon and a rear end having a first holding loop, a second strap member having a first end attached to a second securing means having a first bend and a second bend and a second end having a second holding loop, a connecting means having a first slot and a second slot connecting the first strap member and the second strap member, the rear end of the first strap member being passed through the first slot to suspend therefrom and the first end of the second strap member being looped through the second slot and the first bend of the second securing means and sewn thereon thereby defining a first end loop and the second end of the second strap member extends and suspends from the first bend of the second securing means and an attachment means connected to the first end of the second strap member;
• b) securing the first bend of the first securing means of each tie down strap assembly to a clamp member located on each side of at least one transport medium;
• c) attaching the attachment means of each tie down strap assembly to the at least one transport medium;
• d) loading the vehicle onto a platform of the at least one transport medium;
• e) pulling the second strap member of one of tie down strap assembly to detach the attachment means from the at least one transport medium;
• f) encircling the second end of the second strap member over at least one part of the vehicle;
• g) looping the second holding loop at the second end of the second strap member over the second bend of the second securing means;
• and
• h) repeating the steps e) to g) for connecting another tie down strap assembly of the pair of tie down strap assemblies to secure the vehicle to the platform of the at least one transport medium.
