Belt ratcheting system with dual rollers and adjustable release buckle

Abstract

A ratcheting belt system with opposed rollers and quick release capability provides two opposed rollers which frictionally allow a tightening belt of a safety harness, cargo securement system, between themselves compressively, via a manually operated ratcheting handle such that the excess length of belt distal to the active portion used for securement is passed through the system substantially parallel to the active portion of belt, and need not be contained on a spool. A ratchet mechanism prevents back-out of the belt through the buckle, a manually operated lever provides for opening of the rollers away from each other and easy, quick exit of the driver, passenger, or cargo from securement.
