Systems and methods for an improved ratcheting device including pivoting tooth

A method of using a ratchet device, the method comprising:

• providing a ratchet device including
• a ratchet wheel;
• a first lever, the first lever rotatably interconnected with the ratchet wheel;
• a second lever, the second lever rotatably interconnected with the ratchet wheel;
• a first pivoting bracket, the first pivoting bracket pivotally interconnected with the first lever;
• and
• a second pivoting bracket, the second pivoting bracket pivotally interconnected with the second lever;
• wherein the first pivoting bracket has a first position where the first pivoting bracket is rotated to engage the ratchet wheel and a second position where the first pivoting bracket is rotated to disengage from the ratchet wheel and the second pivoting bracket has a third position where the second pivoting bracket is rotated to engage the ratchet wheel and a fourth position where the second pivoting bracket is rotated to disengage from the ratchet wheel;
• inserting a flat strap to the ratchet device;
• ratcheting the ratchet device to increase tension by moving at least one of the first and second lever;
• and
• pivoting the first and second pivoting bracket to release tension on the flat strap;
• removing the flat strap.
