ABSTRACT:
A strap tensioning and collecting device disclosed has a variable length strap and a fixed length strap operatively associated with a strap storage section and a strap tensioning section. The strap storage section includes a spool housing and a spool in the housing mounted for rotation about an axis with the spool having exposed serrated edges extending beyond the walls of the housing so that the user holding the device with one hand may use the thumb to rotate the spool. The variable length strap extends through the strap tensioning section and has a lever arm which upon rotation selectively decreases the length of the strap to place a tension on the straps when the straps are connected at free ends to a fixed location. In one embodiment the strap storage section and strap tensioning sections are on a common one-piece frame and in a second embodiment a conventional ratchet-type strap tensioning device having its own second frame releasably fastens to the first frame to enable the strap tensioning device to be quickly removed from the first frame. In this embodiment there is provided means to prevent the strap tensioning device from rotating relative to the strap storage section.
