A lashing device for securing objects on ship's decks. The lashing device comprises a U-shaped frame member having two legs and an attachment part. Between the frame member legs extend a strap winding-on drum and a spring-biased shaft, and a holding pawl member is attached on the shaft portion that projects laterally beyond one of the frame member legs. The pawl member engages with a cogged ratchet wheel on the winding-on drum and prevents the strap from being unwound from the latter. The shaft is movable in a direction coinciding with the rotational direction of the winding-on drum. Owing to this arrangement the holding pawl member is pressed out of its engaged holding position upon actuation of said shaft, preferably effected by impact thereon by means of a ratchet wrench, and when the holding pawl is thus in its disengaged position the strap may be unwound from the drum through the action of the tension in said strap.
An improved lashing device to secure objects on a base, said device comprising a U-shaped frame member having two legs and means for affixing said frame to the base, a strap winding-on drum journalled in said frame member legs about an axis extending between said legs, a holding pawl member, and spring means normally urging said pawl in a first direction into a position holding a strap wound onto said winding-on drum against loosening, the improvement comprising
