ABSTRACT:
The invention is an improved anchor for tensioning a flexible element such as a wire, strap or cable. The anchor is normally used to hold down an object such as a trailer. It includes a generally U-shaped frame having legs including circular openings which are axially aligned with each other. A tensioning member is rotatably received in the openings, and a sleeve, which is affixed to the tensioning member, has an aperture for receiving the flexible element such that it can be wound on and unwound from the tensioning member. A locking member is removably affixed to the tensioning member and one leg of the frame to hold the tensioning member against rotation. The locking member has flanges which embrace the frame's leg and edges with a flange which engages the tensioning member to securely lock the tensioning member. The locking member may be inserted and removed without shifting the tensioning member axially.
