ABSTRACT:
A variably-sized strap lock includes a strap and a lock body. The strap consists of a free end portion, a hinge portion and a lock portion. A variably-sized loop is formed by inserting the strap into the lock body and pulling the strap through the lock body to remove excess slack. The lock body engages either a series of teeth or a pair of chain-like members located on the strap and prevents withdrawal without disengagement by the user. A pair of hinges or the pair of chain-like members of the strap allow the hinge portion of the strap to lie flush against the lock body portion of the strap thus allowing the strap lock to be tightly secured onto an object to prevent rattling or inadvertent disengagement.
