ABSTRACT:
One aspect of the invention provides a tie down device for securing an object carried on a rack. The device includes a braided rope having a length sufficient to loop the rope about the first end of the rack so two adjacent portions of the rope pass over the object and both ends of the rope are below the second end of the rack. There is an apparatus for securing the two ends of the rope below the second end of the rack and a telescopic twisting handle with two ends. The twisting handle is fitted between the adjacent portions of the rope and rotated end over end to twist the portions of the rope about each other to tighten the rope over the object. Also provided is a method for securing an object employing the device.
