ABSTRACT:
A tightener for tightening a line which extends between two points is provided herein. The tightener includes a housing, a retainer, and a deflector. The housing is movable between a first position and a second position to tighten the line. The retainer is adapted for selectively retaining a selected portion of an extra length of line between the two points. The deflector moves with the housing and is adapted for deflecting the line during movement of the housing to the second position. The tightener is particularly useful with devices that require an adjustable line, such as a portable carrying device, a tie-down device or a tent.
