Claims30
An adjustable cam buckle assembly comprising:
- a cam buckle member including a hook section and a buckle section, wherein said buckle section includes first and second slots and said hook section includes a base and a hook extending away from said base;
- a strap received within said buckle section, wherein said first and second slots receive said strap;
- a retaining member biasedly engaged with said hook section and pivotally attached with said base of said hook section;
- and
- a clamp biasedly engaged with and pivotally attached to said buckle section, wherein biasing of said retaining member is independent of biasing of said clamp.
An adjustable cam buckle assembly comprising:
- a cam buckle member including a hook section and a buckle section, wherein said buckle section includes a central opening and at least one slot;
- a strap received in said buckle section;
- a retaining member pivotally engaged with said hook section, wherein said retaining member and said hook section are capable of selectively securing a member within said hook section;
- a biasing member engaged with said retaining member pivotally biasing said retaining member into contact with said hook section;
- and
- a clamp pivotally engaged with said buckle section, wherein said clamp is capable of engaging a strap within said buckle section, wherein a first portion of said strap extends out from said buckle section, said first portion having a length whereby said clamp member permits adjustment of said length of said first portion.
An adjustable cam buckle assembly comprising:
- a cam buckle member including a hook section and a buckle section;
- a retaining member selectively engaged with said hook section and pivotally attached to said cam buckle member at a first pivot, wherein said retaining member is selectively moveable with respect to said hook section;
- a biasing member engaged with said retaining member biasing said retaining member into contact with said hook section;
- and
- a clamp moveably secured to said buckle section at a second pivot, wherein said retaining member is selectively moveable independent of movement of said clamp;
- and
- wherein said first pivot is generally perpendicular relative to said second pivot.
An adjustable cam buckle assembly comprising:
- a cam buckle member including a hook section and a buckle section;
- a retaining member pivotally attached to said cam buckle at a first fixed pivot and selectively moveable between engaged and unengaged positions relative said hook section;
- and
- a clamp pivotally secured to said buckle section at a second pivot, wherein said retaining member is selectively pivotally independent of pivoting of said clamp;
- and
- wherein said first pivot is proximate said hook section and said second pivot is distal said hook section.
An adjustable cam buckle assembly comprising:
- a cam buckle member including a hook section and a buckle section, wherein said buckle section includes at least one slot and said hook section includes a base and a hook extending away from said base;
- a strap received within said buckle section;
- a retaining member biasedly engaged with said hook section and pivotally attached with said base of said hook section;
- and
- a clamp biasedly engaged with and pivotally attached to said buckle section, said clamp including a gripping portion, said gripping portion includes a plurality of teeth engaging said strap, wherein biasing of said retaining member is independent of biasing of said clamp.
