ABSTRACT:
The described pawl and ratchet wheel shackle is preferably used to secure automobiles on transport trailers for shipment. To release the tension on the chain securing the vehicle on the trailer, the pawl is shifted laterally relative to the ratchet wheel's plane of rotation. This lateral shift disengages the pawl from the ratchet teeth, releasing the ratchet wheel and relieving the tension on the chain.
