ABSTRACT:
An adjustable elastic and inelastic strap apparatus includes a first connector and a flexible elastic strap assembly which has a first end and a second end. The first end of the elastic strap assembly is attached to the first connector. A second connector is connected to the second end of the elastic strap assembly. A flexible inelastic strap assembly is connected to the second connector. The inelastic strap assembly includes a strap-length-adjustment assembly and an inelastic strap adjustably connected to the strap-length-adjustment assembly. The strap-length-adjustment assembly is employed for adjusting an effective length of the inelastic strap assembly between a first end of the inelastic strap assembly and a second end of the inelastic strap assembly. A third connector is connected to the second end of the inelastic strap assembly. The inelastic strap includes a first end, which is a free end, and includes a second end which is connected to the third connector. The strap-length-adjustment assembly includes a support structure. A slot is provided in the support structure for receiving the first end of the inelastic strap. A clamp base portion of the support structure contacts a portion of the inelastic strap; and a locking assembly, supported by the support structure, locks the portion of the inelastic strap against the clamp base portion.
