ABSTRACT:
An elastic reinforced tie-down strap includes a core of nonstretchable reinforcing filament formed in a series of closed loops, and a casing of resilient stretchable material encasing the core and having a plurality of spaced anchor holes defined therein through the centers of the respective closed loops. The strap is fabricated using a method which provides the casing in an elongated strip-like form with the filament core extending longitudinally through the casing. The strap together with several S-shaped anchor hooks having ends adapted to be inserted through the anchor holes of the strap provide a tie-down strapping device. The closed loops of the filament are tied together so as to provide tear resistance in the casing around the anchor holes. Also, the closed loops within the casing are deformable to permit sufficient longitudinal stretch in the casing to facilitate hooking and unhooking of the anchor hook in securement and releasing securement of the strapping device, while at the same time the filament loops limit the longitudinal stretch in the casing to prevent recoil movement of the strapping device in the event of a sudden release of the securement thereof. The casing with the filament core therein is adapted to be wound into a roll thereof, and is severable so as to permit cutting desired lengths of the strap from the roll.
