ABSTRACT:
A tie-down arrangement for releasably securing a load to the floor of a truck bed by the use of a tensioned strap or belt. One end of the belt is looped about a spindle after passing through a slot in the hub of a reel. A securement pin interconnects the hub to the spindle so that a unitary construction is produced. A spring retractor is operably coupled between the reel and a fixed mounting bracket so that the belt or strap is biased into a storage position in the form of a coil about the hub. The opposite end of the belt or strap terminates in a fastening hook and an adjustment clamp is carried on the belt or strap for shortening or lengthening the belt or strap.
