| Title: | ADJUSTABLE STRAP | |||||
| Abstract: | An adjustable strap (20) that limits separation of the strap portions from each other. The strap provides for quick and easy one hand operation by allowing a user to fully loosen and tighten the strap without the need for rejoining the strap portions to each other. The strap may also maintain the overlapping sections of the strap portions in close proximity and generally parallel to each other, such as when bending and/or adjusting the strap across a curved surface, to substantially reduce the likelihood of a loose strap end. The adjustable strap may include an engagement strap (22) with a fastening device, such as a ratchet buckle (24), mounted to one end thereof, and a ratchet strap (26) that passes through the ratchet buckle to be adjusted relative to the engagement strap for a desired tightness. The engagement strap may include a stop that coacts with the ratchet strap to limit relative movement between the engagement and ratchet straps. An elongated slot (38) may be disposed along the engagement strap to guide and limit travel of an anchor to which is fastened the tip (30) of the ratchet strap. | |||||
