ABSTRACT:
A portable, releasable tie-down device and method for quickly and easily applying tension to a flexible elongated member such as a belt, strap, cable, rope or the like when the ends thereof are either free or tied down. The device enables an elongated member to be tensioned without the necessity of releasing the tied-down ends. Either the end portions of one or more flexible elongated members or a midportion of a single elongated member are wrapped into overlapping relationship, thereby tensioning the flexible elongated member. The flexible elongated member may be maintained under tension until it is desired to relieve such tension. Subsequently, the flexible elongated member may be quickly and easily relieved of tension and the device may be totally removed from engagement with the flexible elongated member. The device may include a removable handle which, after being used to crank up the device to tension the elongated member, may be removed while retaining the member under tension, then replaced when desired to untension the member.
