Abstract
A pair of cam-buckles properly disposed in a back-to-back manner may be slid along an anchoring strap passed through it and yet reliably kept in place to accommodate loads depending from it regardless of the direction the load is tethered from without danger of slippage along the strap. While this arrangement may be used in a general way for various tasks, it has particularly beneficial application for tethered physical exercise activities. With it, the anchoring strap may be vertically secured around a door and the paired buckles may be moved to any point-high or low-upon the strap, thereby providing variation in tethering direction.
Claims15
A strap interconnection adjusting assembly comprising:
- an anchoring strap;
- and
- a strap juncture adjusting assembly;
- the juncture adjusting assembly comprising in turn:
- a pair of cam-buckles;
- and
- an object strap;
- wherein each cam buckle comprises a free-sliding face, an impinging end, a tethering end and a thumb lever and is disposed in conjunction with the other of the pair such that the free-sliding face of each abuts that of the other and the impinging end and tethering end of each are oriented in the same direction as those of the other so that their respective thumb lever faces are oppositely disposed;
- the object strap disposed to pass through the thumb lever openings of both abutted cam-buckles;
- wherein the anchoring strap is reeved through the impinging ends of the abutting cam-buckles;
- the assembly thereby providing means of unimpeded repositioning upon the anchoring strap of the strap juncture adjusting assembly including the object strap and anything extending from it merely by depressing the thumb levers of the buckles and sliding the adjusting assembly in either direction along the anchoring strap's mid-length such that upon release of the thumb levers, the attained position comprises a connection of rigid emplacement.
A method of providing means of unimpeded repositioning of objects or assemblies depending by strapped connection from an anchoring strap such that the attained position comprises a connection of rigid emplacement, comprising the following steps:
- first, dispose a pair of cam-buckles upon the anchoring strap in conjunction such that the free-sliding face of each abuts that of the other and the impinging end and tethering end of each are oriented in the same direction as those of the other so that their respective thumb lever faces are oppositely disposed;
- second, pass an object strap through the thumb lever openings of both abutted cam-buckles;
- and
- third, link that strap to any object or device for which dependency from the anchoring strap is sought.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
